You'll be happy to know that it's supposed to come in the April firmware update, though.

It becomes a little more interesting when taking into consideration the option of renting. Photography equipment is very widely available for rental, and if you use it for say fewer than 30 days a year, it may work out cheaper to rent, with

As many people who bought previous muscle stimulation "as seen on tv" devices bought, it certainly does still require discipline to shock your muscles for an hour or so daily ;)

Or try a little salt instead of the sugar... it counteracts the bitterness. Quite surprising!

Asia. China's aviation industry had hockey-stick style growth since 1990, and is expected to overtake US volume by 2022 (ignoring economic peril): http://knowledge.ckgsb.edu.cn/2017/04/17/airline-industry

A sprinkler system... for a giant lithium batteries fire? If it was an actual water sprinkler system that may have been an issue.

That nest egg is much better insurance overall though, as it protects in many more scenarios... job loss, bad boss, loss of residence rights... The basic rule of insurance is "never insure that which you would be able to pay out yours

Indeed, for AA applications the Energizer Lithium ones are great (“other brands exist”).

It mentions "flexible smartphones" with the obvious intent to mislead the reader that a rectenna would be useful for powering such a device, a truly laughable concept. Which was picked up by other press articles leading to headlin

This press release is quite misleading... the only novel aspect here is "flexible". It's less efficient than the existing rectenna solutions. And it's just as useless unless it's placed directly next to a WiFi route

I'm also very sceptical that Foxconn would be setting up that factory for any reason other than avoiding Indian tariffs on mobile phones. India is not really the first place one would think of to build a supply chain.

Not even that. It is designed for hvac applications and measures VOCs on the assumption that they are from human breath and have a corresponding increase in CO2 levels due to breath.

Interestingly, the Chinese equivalent of eBay (taobao) does an extremely good job of recommendations for me. So much so that if I search for something, and can't quite find what I'm looking for, often the exact thing I was looking

What do you mean obviously we don't. Obesity in France is at 24%, closely behind the US and the UK. And obesity is rising in countries around the world as access to "western" diets increases.

My impression is that the "water cooler" effect is still very important for Netflix. "Hey, have you seen that new X show on Netflix with actress Y? Oh, you don't have Netflix? Let me send you an invite!"

Forgot to mention in my other response... the volume is the biggest influence in perceived sound quality. Equalising that in such devices can be tricky in an impromptu setup.

Probably mostly the latter. The headphone adapter with recent iPhones measures remarkably well for such a tiny device: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/what-is-the-sound-quality-of... (scroll down a little for lots of g

I'm not as sanguine as you. We are witnessing the breakdown of effective governing in Western democracies, in part triggered by active intervention by Russia, both in the UK in the case of Brexit and in the US with the Trump election.

Accept that pragmatism, and not trying to solve tomorrows problems today, are great assets for any developer / technical lead. My maxim is "make it as complex as it needs to be, but not one bit more". There is great satisfact

I only skimmed the article, but it appears to be about the prevalence of tracking in third-party services used by app developers, not in the core distribution, what did I miss?

All the buses are electric too, they finished replacing them at the end of the last year. Like you said taxis seem to be about 95% replaced now (was only about 30% last year, this city moves crazy fast, there are around 20000 taxis in the c

Try one of the Altium tools some time (they have a free one now afaik). Those are more "Photoshop weird" (any really complex software takes some time to grok) rather than "AutoCAD in 1995 weird" (a DOS ui dragged kicking

Mainstream CPUs are heavily optimised for latency over energy consumption (using speculative execution to effectively waste a multiple of the energy required for the computation itself). It'd be an interesting exercise to try to desig

If you are looking for something already built, the eBay/aliexpress shops of the Shenzhen companies often have the option of selling you a complete amplifier made up of their modules. Which will probably end up cheaper than getting all

One problem with voting machines is that "bad stuff happening" can be beneficial to the people in charge of overseeing them, quite the opposite of gambling machines.

Tourists, yes, but to a large extent internal tourism due to the tradition of bringing back regional snacks for friends, family and coworkers. If you visit the gift shops along the highways in Japan they are stacked high with kitkat boxes o
