Maybe you're not aware of this, but communication signals decay at the same rate as RF noise, so the overall effect is a push.

So, how does this compares to Cesium.js and Worldwind?

Yeah. I've played around with everything mentioned in this thread, and for documentation that needs refs/math/images, you need to use either Lyx or Word. Asciidoctor might get there if it ever gets a good, free development en

Zzz, no warranty, guarantees of availability, or industrial ratings / casing? Why should I buy this over some generic board from China?

I thought mathematical algorithms couldn't be patented, which is what a compression algorithm is, no?

If you're willing to bet actual money on your argument, I'll take the opposite side easily.

Is it? Long lasting durable white goods are available if you purchase from the manufacturer's commercial line - they are built to higher standards as businesses purchase them based on lifetime ROI. However, few consumers buy them as th

Afaik research shows this is the result of increasingly less time spent outdoors in the presence of intense light. Going forward I think more intense indoor lighting is probably the solution, since the burden of study and education is only

Sure, renovated old stock isn't airtight, but nobody needs that. I've been in some passive houses - net zero by virtue of the fact that they ventilate the bare minimum of air. Soon as you get some nasty furniture outgassing tons o

These things work, but ultimately never turn out to be more cost-effective than sealing your house up better and adding more insulation. You will only see them in high-end commercial construction. The technical term for it is zone heating a

FAQ still reads: Is Quantopian free? Quantopian's community and backtester is free for everyone to use. There will be a charge for connecting your algorithm to your brokerage. Pricing isn't finalized, but we're considering a

These are some seriously expensive houses. If net zero is about reducing total cost of ownership, these don't cut the mustard. I personally would be more interested in factory-built modular housing with the minimum of fancy gizmos - ju

Sometimes I like to pretend I live in a country where those with money and influence don't receive preferential treatment from the state. I know why it happens. I know it will continue to happen. The same thing happens on the country-s

My problem with it is that citizens are supposed to be equal under the law. There isn't equal access to these incentives. Doesn't an educated professional moving to Nevada also bring positive externalities to the state? Yet they w

Quantopian won't be free forever. It seems the fees they are thinking of charging going into the future will mean that it only makes sense for active traders who derive value from Quantopian's market research and backtesting facil

Afraid not. Symantec has the website flagged for some sort of "mass-injection" attack, whatever that may be.

Like other comments have mentioned, a short is not a voltage reversal. The methods to alleviate them are different. As the connector is polarized, the only way to get a voltage reversal is for something seriously strange to happen either at

Ugh. Am I the only one who appreciates cheap things for what they are? Over-engineering something is a bad thing, just as under-engineering it is too. It makes things more expensive than they have to be. There's an art to designing som

Sorry I was not clear in my comments. The dollar solution is for some type of crowbar circuit. This is the most robust solution. The 3-4 cents is for specifically, reverse polarity protection when somehow, a -5V differential is applied to d

I don't want to be a broken record, but you're right, not a tall order, but no it's unreasonable on account of cost. It's impossible for USB C to be hooked up backwards by its mechanical design, so why guard against it?
506.
by krapht 11y ago
Yes, and that's why the USB spec puts the burden of protecting against electrical shorts on the controller. The device side shouldn't have to worry about trying to shunt 100 Watts of power somewhere. I mean this kind of protection
507.
by krapht 11y ago
Why would you design in reverse polarity protection? It adds cost, and the mechanical connector already makes it impossible for VDD to short to GND in USB type C because of its rotational symmetry.

10% is hardly a rate of return to brag amount, especially since dense housing requires large amounts of capital tied up for multiple years. Assume a complex takes 18 months to build. Then that 10% is even less.

I can't disagree more with a blanket statement like that. I would never recommend Python / R to the physicists and scientists that I work with. They don't know how to program well. The code they put out is usually garbage, ha
