Or they could x-ray the box on the conveyer belt and intercept any suspect packages in real time for closer inspection.

They could automate it by x-raying instead of taking a photo. It would clearly show the iphone vs a piece of clay and save them a bunch of time opening/resealing boxes.

Looks nice, and glad to see it's open source and that I can run it on my own server :) A very crowded space but having that option is great. I wonder how integration with phabricator would work/look like.

Exactly, if a bank blocked the charge it would be conceivable that they could be charged with conspiring with a criminal or some business of that sort. It would be so much easier and safer to just let the police take the money and say &#x27

What incentives do the banks have to fight on behalf of their customers?

I wonder what the clock network topology looks like on a chip with 256 cores.

Slightly off topic but it's pretty cool to live in a day and age where people can post logic analyzer dumps of hardware processes and debug them together on the internet.

You all just laid off a whole team of analyst a month or 2 ago from my understanding. My friend was on the team. Sounds like interesting work though.

Eric Chen, mentioned in the article is now working on his own VR startup Bellus3D. http://bellus3d.com I worked there for a minute. Really cool stuff they are doing.

401K/IRA tax avoidance techniques are codified in law to encourage people to save for retirement so we don't have generations of elderly homeless people. The tax loopholes that companies like Apple tax advantage of are another thi

While a public company answers to it's shareholders, it also has a responsibility to support the community it lives within, because often success can be directly attributed to where the company started. Aggressively avoiding taxes coul

Digital ones are expensive but you can get an old used analog scope pretty inexpensively, and often they'll do the job. At least for relatively low frequency projects. Call your local universities surplus department and see if they hav

I'd recommend trying to build something relatively simple (e.g. an AM transmitter) from scratch and just enumerating all the questions you ask in the process. Then finding the real answers to those questions and the whys.

This is great. I just started my first real full time programming job and was feeling a tad incompetent. It definitely resonates. I'm having issues with really identifying as a programmer and what expectations if any come with it. I&#x

Well in the article it stated that "Siri brings in 1 billion queries per week from users" so that's nothing to sneeze at. But the real challenge is the majority of those queries are probably pretty simple queries that Siri do

Water is the biggest limiting factor. The campus has plans to expand further into the redwoods and build additional student housing, but can't do so without an adequate water supply. Currently their plans would further endanger local f

But really, who is going to run a triathlon with a pebble. I doubt it's battery could even last an entire race if it was playing music and using GPS. Also, I imagine you can do HRM with the core but it didn't mention it.

If you don't want to bring your big expensive smart phone with you while running, this could be an alternative. But as a runner I love having my pace on my wrist watch - it has fundamentally changed how I run. So I think they missed th
