You don't have to worry about most small cell towers, since they are usually directional (pointed towards the ground to maximize signal coverage) and relatively low power. In the countryside with tall towers that cover tens of kilomete

Stealth is relative; as long as your detection distance is greater than the adversary's, you're good. Also, passive is great, but I'd expect in a war situation all large transmitters would get disabled first.

I dislike your first point because there's no comparing the quality of mass-produced housing 50 years ago and that of today's mass-produced housing. It IS possible to purchase a home on a single working class income - look up pric

I don't understand why that would be the case. Unless the autonomous car program is free, there will always be room for a lower-quality, cheaper alternative.

You can also literately program in Lean, and get out math theorems like http://pat.perso.ens-lyon.org/M1P1/

Quoting from https://bit.ly/2t30lXv : GSM “buzz” occurs with GSM (TDMA) phones,” he said. “It is when the phone is communicating with the tower on the GSM control channel, which is not power regulated and can be as high 1 wa

We all know? I think that's a fact that isn't well known.

It looks like a bunch of flat, 2d tables like you might find in a spreadsheet or database.

I think you're overestimating the complexity of your average medical problem :). Medical situations that require Dr. House are the exception, not the rule.

This process of farm consolidation is inevitable. Agriculture benefits from economies of scale, even 2000 years ago the Roman latifundia fed an empire efficiently.

I think Ikea is great! It is engineered to last exactly as long as most people want for cheaply made furniture. I think you overestimate the market for second-hand, used furniture in old styles. I can't count the amount of well-made fu

Is it insane? Did people read the article? The critical trauma unit was activated. I suppose if people are called in to work, they shouldn't get paid if it turns out they aren't needed?

This strikes me as pretty entitled. Developer time isn't free, and it's not impossible to self host your own web chat room.

Yeah, it is. Grade inflation is a well known, documented phenomena. Unfortunately I have no time to link the papers on this subject, but if you search, they are there.

People write this glibly without understanding history. Soviet Russia made great leaps in science and technology where it was a national priority. You can have academic freedom in most scientific disciplines without the political freedom to

Yeah, I'd like a comparison to graphviz/plantuml, not sure how this is different.

I wonder how similar our current situation is to the 1890's, specifically yellow journalism with Pulitzer and Hearst.

Even so, 128k is a bit excessive. They're definitely charging the enterprise/business markup for that power.

I think this article misses the point: Intel has nothing to gain by entering the commodity smartphone processor market. The margins are slim, and therefore doesn't make good use of Intel's advantage in semiconductor fabrication. S

One of these days I'll get around to Rust. I don't think it's fundamentally difficult, just different from most people's cowboy programming. I'm much more excited these days about program extraction from verified pr
