Not entirely related to your question on audio aliasing, but many moons ago I was an EE on a team using electro-optics to design a much better Analog-to Digital converter than you could buy commercially. The signals we sampled were in hund

I've never taken Lyft or Uber, but are the drivers required to go where their GPS tells them? Or do they just not know the route? Being used to traditional taxis myself, I find the need for these full-time drivers to be so dependent o

It's not just _the_ journal for bioscience but pretty much all the hard sciences. Back when I was doing my doctoral in physics (I've left academia since), Nature was the top dog of journals; getting even one Nature publication mea

Cyclists are vehicles, so are obligated to follow the rules of the road and drive on the correct side. Pedestrians, in the absence of sidewalks, do have the option to face incoming or outgoing traffic, and the usual choice is to face oncomi

Did you start in London and move to SV? Where was your London office located that you felt had a good support network?

Space probe NEAR-Shoemaker landed on asteroid Eros in 2001! What is amazing about this landing is that the probe had no landing gear, no shock absorbers, and was not designed in any way to land. NASA engineers tuned the orbit carefully and

So in other words - party tricks :-)

by jeffwass 12y ago
Are there any skills you have, degrees you've completed,or knowledge you possess that you wouldn't also consider a party trick?

by jeffwass 12y ago
Wow, you're really calling a course of study that usually takes 3-4 years to complete a "party trick" because it's replaceable by technology? By that reasoning, isn't any job any of us have on this forum also replac

Mapkin is doing this actually. They let users crowd-source their own directions, along with much better turn-by-turn descriptions too. Eg, "turn sharp right just after the firehouse, go past the field and make a left just before the ba

Do you also feel that nearly all YC and other SV companies, by registering as Delaware S Corps despite really being based in Cali, are not paying their fair share of California state corporate taxes?

I've also been going through SICP, using racket. However, I've been using Neil van Dyke's SICP-compliant support package, so I feel my use is closer to SICP scheme than racket (if that claim even makes sense) I use this line at the top of

You don't need to use Decimals. When you find all square roots of fair and square numbers, don't cache them but their squares (ie, the fair and square numbers themselves). Then for each of the 1000 inputs, you run through the set of 46k fai
