Looking at image No. 28 (after green line), the image is considerably darker and more pixelated than No. 26 and previous. The green line could be artifact from an auto-contrast or auto-focus.

I think what is trying to be protected is the time of the person who designed the part. There could well be unique artistic or engineering contained in the physical design of a product, worth far more that the materials and machine time.

What do people think about this? Certainly an interesting concept, but also something I think that could be hacked around if someone was highly interested in reproducing a design.

I think instead of knowledge memorization (like the periodic table), the author is refering to algotithm memorization, where the exam is testing your ability to reproduce the process of solving the problem. There is some validity to this i

Pretty awesome! Arduino + BT4.0 next, please! This could (or would have in my case) been very handy for prototyping wearables. BT4.0 is better for battery usage and phone connectivity in production-ready wearables though.

"A solution is a something. But a something isn’t always a solution." I like this quote a lot: you failed to get into YC but I think you passed on this. You can build a better mouse trap, but its only helpful in places where there are mice

PERT [1] is a good technique, especially for parallel tasks, depending somewhat on how complex (how many) tasks need to be done. It is like a Gantt chart but IMHO better displays the data and dependencies and allows for additional informat

I think their role is a bit more complex than that. In most universities, there is a teaching and mentoring role to undergraduates, which I think can play a huge role in the direction of those students careers. There is also a domain expe

Part of the issue - only about 200 of those billionaires are under 50. People can be "Tony Stark" after that, but I think its probably more likely that younger people will have the energy and willingness to invest the decades it takes to b

Why are "things" and "build" mutually exclusive from software (addressing other comments here, not the article)? I think physical vs information is a bit arbirary (and often overlapping in true contexts of projects). I think that the artic
