Since the 737 MAX has been grounded, I don't think that needs to be a consideration.

Nice. This is certainly handier than trying to catch a glimpse of the tail number before boarding and then navigate the FAA's registry website on my phone. I suspect many people don't even know the significance of that big number

Okay, this Environmental Working Group found traces of pesticides on produce. That's not terribly unexpected, given how most produce is, well, produced. What this article annoyingly neglects to mention, is the _numbers_ attached to tho

TLS, TLS MITM, and TLS MITM detection are tools; that's all they are. They have their advantages and disadvantages, and can be used for good or for evil, depending on the intentions and/or the competence of the parties involved. F

My intuition is that this is a fluke that will fail to replicate. If it however, does replicate, consistently, that opens up a bunch of questions. Just how does hip-hop make cheese sound better?

Okay, this is cool as hell. I've reading up about the architectures and programming of computers and consoles from the 80s and early 90s lately, and have been itching to do a similar project of my own, but have been kind of floundering

Small nitpick. North-American domestic power isn't 2-phase. It's 1 phase, center-tapped.

I think for this to be feasible, a project would need to maintain firm to strict discipline about testing and versioning. Let me expand on that. When an issue comes in, once verified, a test that reproduces the unwanted/unexpected beha

I can't deny, that's uncomfortable to read. Stepping back from my discomfort, and trying to understand the context in which that statement was made, the impression I get is that he's using white-supremacist stereotypes of whi

Depends on the headphones. Some have higher impedances, some have lower ones. Transformers bring their own complexities into the circuit.

What I'm wondering is why the 1k resistors in the power supply. Wouldn't 100k, 1M or 10M resistors drastically cut the idle current consumption? Or would that compromise the performance of the opamps by choking them off from the c

If he's able to get that much of an improvement with 5532s, I'm curious what he could get if he used modern opamps. Granted, the 5532 has been the opamp to beat for sound quality for decades, but someone posting by the handle NwA

This entire comment betrays an ignorance of the AR-15 and the ballistics of the common loads of its most common chambering, and as well as actual military combat doctrine. > I’ll put the last out of the way first: theft is not a capital

My initial reaction to this is one of outrage: "How the hell is this even legal?!" Though the article makes it clear that David Glass has found loopholes in the legal system, and that therefore it is technically legal, it strikes

I'm not sure I understand your question; what do you mean by "but should really put their time elsewhere"? Are you asking for an amplifier that would deliver similar performance to this, because you don't have the time t

I thought of the same thing. Both are inexpensive, straightforward, no-BS projects that leverage the advances made in electronics over the years to deliver quality audio. If I made one of these, I 'd be tempted to put an ODAC and O2 bo

Interesting. I'm tempted to try this out. I have access to a quality soldering iron and can use it decently well (I'm typing this on an ergodox keyboard I built from a kit). There is something very satisfying about building someth

Okay, I have a question about one of his assertions here: > What may take a cluster to compute one year takes a consumer machine the next. Is that not partly because the hardware is ever improving? I realize this is a bit of exaggeration

As mentioned down-thread, this is a supply/demand issue. The government loans effectively create an infinite supply of money, so of course tuition goes up to capture all that money. I have a radical proposition: End student loans. Get

Looking it up, ASN 7922 is Comcast. I guess he really doesn't like Comcast and doesn't want Comcast (or their customers) from reaching his site?
