RSU comp usually works like this (using made-up round numbers and assuming the share price is flat to keep things easy): * Day 1: You are granted $100k of RSUs[1] vesting over 4 years * Day 365: 1/4th of your original RSU grant vests (

That's true, but it feels like the HS curriculum has gotten easier, too, and that might be part of the reason that a high school diploma isn't valued by employers. My perception (anecdata!) is that helicopter parenting has badger

The quote not withstanding, a cursory glance at the website of the manufacturer of the structure (Sprung[1]) would show that the exterior is not canvas. Further, Sprung even lists manufacturing as an application of their structures. Repeati

Probably not as much as you'd think, though. Cars powered by compressed natural gas take longer to fill than gasoline-powered ones[1]. I can't find it right now, but Edmunds did a long-term test of a natural gas Honda Civic. One

System Integrity Protection (SIP)[1] does prevent even the root user from modifying some system files[2]. It seems possible, at least in principle, to protect system logs from modification by user root. In practice, I think most system lo

I don't see anything in the write-up that requires a DSO--an storage tube (analog) oscilloscope should suffice. Most storage tube oscilloscopes supported single sweep capture in bi-stable mode. That is, you could clear the screen, res

It might not be that bad, actually (unless you open it up). Even cheap butyl gaskets will do a good job keeping out the constituents of a standard air mixture of gases. Any He leakage would thus cause a pressure differential, which will te

How do you prevent an attacker from installing a bootloader which loads (while injecting a rootkit, of course) Apple's signed binaries? Nobody could be certain if they were running a trusted version of iOS.

You need a hardware LPF, though. The trouble is that the sampler in the ADC down-converts harmonics of the passband into the passband. To make this concrete: you might sample at f0 to capture all frequencies from 0 to f0/2, but you al

Get real. The auto makers aren't passive players who "have things happen to them." No, they are active participants who "make things happen." Of course the technology wasn't ready--they didn't build it!

The range drop applies only to electric mode, and it doesn't drop by half unless you're driving very slowly (in other words, you spend a lot of time with the heater on and don't go very far). Pre-conditioning the cabin while

It's the former. RIT is a pretty good school for science, technology and visual arts (Kodak and Xerox donated stupid amounts of money over the years). Like any college, you get out what you put in. It also has its fair share of over-confide

Yes, it seems unlikely that the same car could be re-used for multiple trips. However, you could move the parking lots far away from the places people want to go because the car could drop you off at the door and then valet itself to a re

I'm not sure what this comment is supposed to add. Maybe to say that you don't need to resolve an image very well to detect a face? In any event, the resolution of your imaging system is fundamentally limited by it's aperture. That is a li
