I don't understand what you're trying to imply here. Should I be taking your sentence at face value, or are you saying that there is no evidence that masks and lockdowns stop the spread of the virus, and that there is sufficient e

Re CNCing the wood: I'm not a woodworker, but given the simplicity of the cut, I'd dare say that miter sawing the planks using a guide would more than suffice.

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. It doesn't sound like money well spent, it sounds like a bargain to me, like "you'd be stupid not to do it" cheap for something the size of Google.

Curious, I "suffer" from a similar problem regarding guitar playing: I tend to lift all the fingers I'm not currently using away from the fretboard as I play, which would make most guitar teachers recoil in horror I imagine.

This project reminds me of a similar one I participated in when I was in High School: https://eee.centrofermi.it/ Some students were sent to CERN in Geneva to build detectors (which were essentially sandwiches of copper str

From a quick skimp over the article, it looks to me like the device employs standard Bluetooth protocol capabilities, so any app capable of pairing to generic Bluetooth heart rate sensors should be capable of doing so. The author simply wen

When you look at phones each as its own, I agree that more bandwidth is not really needed. I certainly never felt that I absolutely needed more that LTE bandwidth when on my phone. But 5G will improve _total_ bandwidth I assume, which is in

That kind of sand is quite common in (at least) all of the north-western beaches of Sardinia, due to the fact that they are mostly composed of granite and granite is very hard and does not break up easily, I guess.

A word of warning to those building this same contraption: if the solid state relay you're using is the one pictured in this article and you received it together with the cheap PID temperature control shown, it's almost surely a c

I'd call this wishful thinking and something that's been proven time and time again to be not working as well as it should, in practice.

Honestly, this point is kind of nonsense to me. If people acted as if they were held to the higher standard, we would not need licenses. People (especially when they're not acting alone, e.g. corporations) act in their monetary interes

For big companies, there's no distinction between "morally acceptable" and "legal". Stick to a license where what's immoral to you is made illegal.

If you don't like the terms of the license for software you released maybe you should have chosen a different one.

How are you going to address the fact that the same letter (even in the Latin alphabet) can have wildly different outlines? Just look at the character "a": some are circular, others have the "hook" over it. Or the "
