Anyone here use expresspcb.com and their own software? I've tinkered with Eagle and considered KiCAD but I am intrigued by the co with the software built into their design process.

Rabbit hole sidechannel debate: This is also true in the world of "Drones" and the FAA. Rulemaking committee actually references 1961 interpretation of "see and avoid" while making suggestions for drones. Are ya kiddin

I subscribe to Adrian's email and I bought his bundle. I have never had so much fun with image processing. He definitely makes it easy.

As a Texas and Dallas native, I am so happy to see stuff from Dallas on HN. Dallas and Fort Worth have some really interesting startups showing up in the biomed area, so it's cool to see something more conventional getting traction. T

I don't agree that the SpaceX landing is better than Apollo 11. I don't measure something in "How available is the technology to me?". I measure in "How hard is that?". I'm not downplaying what SpaceX d

There are a whole lot of places where the weather doesn't change on a dime and an IFR rating is not required. Also, you don't need IFR for night flying. Any high hour pilot worth his salt is going to be IFR rated, but there are t

Takeaway from this: I'm imagining Bill Gates practicing his fadeaway jumpers.

I don't disagree with you, but alot of important people were asking the question "Who can stop these things from flying over my back yard?". The FAA had the jurisdiction.

If the FAA could write a FAR that kept birds out of the airspace, it would happen.

You're exactly right.

A half pound is enough to damage something when you're going 150 mph. I have seen bird strikes that were in that weight range and blew out a windshield. I imagine the FAA is going to find out how many people in the United States are u

I guess I'm glad they're taking some kind of action. As a pilot of both single engine airplanes and "drones", I definitely see the argument from both sides. Let's see how that website holds up at lunchtime on Dec 2

One way I think it could be good for the tech sector is the return of reasonable angel investment. Outside of YC, angel investment has moved up the due diligence ladder, resembling something nearer to actual venture capital. When you appl

Damn, a billion dollars is alot of money. Amazing that something can be put together in less than 5 years that is worth multiple billions of dollars. Even more surprising that you can amass a list of 100+ companies that are less than 10 y

These always seemed a little intrusive and came at odd hours which was annoying.

Every time I see Amazon make an announcement, I'm reminded of this quote by Conan O'Brien: "Just remember kids, you can do anything you set your mind to, as long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to do it." Substitute A

You can't legislate intelligence. Yesterday I went to my daughter's school's open house. When I entered, I was cornered by an administrator and told I had to sign some paperwork before I left. It was the computer policy.

I agree with you. One of my largest pet peeves is when a new technical person comes and asks me how to do something without even googling it first. I don't mind guiding, I don't even mind giving hints and verbal cues to get you t

It sure seems like there are alot of drone imagery marketplaces coming up. Exactly how much business is there for all of them to survive? I think this pricing model will be the nail in the coffin for Dronebase, though. You can't set

Awesome project, I can't wait until there is a section on the website talking about "use this chain if you want X".

Have you had any honest conversations about this with the CEO yet? I see most people saying "quit!", but really that is not fair to the business or the other people who are there. This kind of behavior gives technical people a ba

What you said was a little strong, but I do fundamentally agree with you that patent clerks do not perhaps have the benefit of 5-year technology trajectory to make informed decisions. When you look at the patents that Newegg fights (and win
