Just a guess...maybe the 5V is supplied from a linear regulator with a maximum dropout of 1.2V, so the board is specified to require at least 6.2V from the wall wart.

It's amazing how many bad ideas, if you scroll down far enough, are justified by an appeal to "equity." Which usually translates into dumbing things down.

"math does lose its usefulness around after trig" Not if you want to leave open the possibility of majoring in engineering, physical and biological science, or economics.

As a centrist Democratic voter, I find it disappointing that only the Republicans seem to be pushing back against these practices. There needs to be bipartisan outrage, so that opposition to coercive programs like this is not seen as a &quo

Leftist censors seldom deny that the story is true--often the facts are indisputable. They are just outraged that someone made the facts available beyond the pale of the progressive Magisterium.

"These electrolysers currently...consume a lot of energy and water – it can take about nine litres to make one kilogram of hydrogen." OK, I'm an engineer not a chemist, but based on the relative atomic weights of water (18) a

I'm not totally convinced that this isn't satire. It's hard to tell these days. "Mother" being considered an obscene word was predicted in "Brave New World" in 1932.

Is that all? That makes me feel a lot better about the next climate-related mass extinction.

The governor, Greg Gianforte, used to be a really smart Bell Labs engineer. Maybe after moving to Montana and getting involved in politics, he decided that he had to dumb himself down to fit in.

What a recipe for a dystopian nightmare of a workplace!

I was indoctrinated at Very Big Corporation back in the 80's that given a white and a black job applicant, the company's policy was to prefer the black one as long as they meet the minimal requirements for the job. This was presen

In fact, I did skip over the post with the new title; I don't know what LLM stands for and the title did not inspire the curiousity to find out. I would definitely have read "The AI Crowd is Mad."

It's symbolic. Even though I won't work there any more, at least I'm regarded as a human being in my last minutes in the building. It also gives me a chance to pick up my personal items, say goodbye to my co-workers, and exch

Every time I've been laid off, by companies large and small, I was at least sat down and given the news in person. Google's method is a new and growing type of nasty.

I suspect the trainers don't care, as long as whatever logical or factual errors they are making support the point they want to make, truth be damned. Diversity trainers are also notorious vectors of urban legends: the Chevy Nova story

Well, duh. Having worked at megacorporations where the day-long diversity training was a mandatory annual ritual, my working-level colleagues and I knew this apparently surprising conclusion 40 years ago, no fancy researh needed. We all kne

I've been very unimpressed with ChatGPT's performance on technical problems. I asked it to solve a problem in heat transfer, and I was initially excited because it gave a detailed answer, explaining how to set up and solve the pro

It's not the whole base, but a large parcel of it. Other sections have already been developed for housing and retail businesses. A reporter for the Asbury Park Press ought to have known this.

I think the commenter is talking not about etiquette, but about how to live a richer life.

This may or may not be interesting...buy why do I have to spend 20 minutes watching a video to find out, when the same information could be conveyed in a written format that I could read in 5 minutes, or better yet, scan in 1 minute to get

Have you discussed with your psychologist that you might have ADHD? It often appears alongside anxiety. Maybe you can have therapy targeted for these conditions, including possible medication. Maybe it's time to looks for a new psychol

I grew up in the Deep South in the waning days of school segregation. One of the claims made in support of segregation was that white students learn best from white teachers, and black students learn best from black teachers. This work is a

I suspected that's what the article intended, but it read as somewhat scientifically illiterate as it referred to "nitrogen" (N2) when they were really thinking nitrogen compounds.

This amusing site has been around for at least 20 years. It's nice to see it's still there.

Well, the article just says nitrogen.

WTF? The atmosphere is over 70% nitrogen. I find it hard to fathom that emissions from all the farms in the Netherlands could upset that balance in any measurable way.
