I wonder if this is an interference or non interference design. If it is the former, one glitch in the valve timing and the engine would need a rebuild. Hopefully it is the later.

This is exactly my thought as well.

Agreed, I saw that political/moralizing comments and stopped reading. Most of this is common sense, but when I see the political talk I'm much more suspicious of the actual message.

Every year the flu kills 640,000 people world wide. Right now we are at 3648 from coronavirus. Also there is a lot of evidence to suggest that the actual number of infections is much larger than the reported numbers. This means that the act

My entire house has been converted over to LED. The cheaper the design the higher the failure rate. The heat seems to kill these things over time. For example I just ordered another warranty replacement from one brand called Hyperikon that

If you want to go with LED strips there are a lot of options that are cheaper and better. Actual bulbs are a bit trickier.

As a mobile developer I think this is a REALLY bad idea because of the security implications surrounding it.

The Ray Wenderlich stuff is pretty good. (Full disclosure, I wrote a book for them so I am biased :))

That is true provided that you have devices that correctly act as routers. Sometimes it requires extra repeaters to make the network function correctly as well. Then there is the interference issue from WIFI and Bluetooth devices.

I agree that the lag time is a bit higher on Z-Wave, partially because of the slower transmission speed. Plus does help that a bit. The number of hops can affect it as well, though they are limited in Z-Wave vs Zigbee which allows for more.

by lgleason 7y ago
Oh, I did not realize that. Are there any implementations that actually use that?
285.
by lgleason 7y ago
Zigbee is already an open standard, but some Zigbee devices don't work with others. Yet, with Z-Wave they all tend to work and there isn't that much of a price difference (between Zigbee and Z-Wave devices). The biggest problem wi

It all comes down to equality of opportunity vs equality of outcome. When there is equality of opportunity women choose different fields...often (but not always) because of different interests. Equality of outcome forces people to do things

It feels like a marketing gimmick vs a useful application. Probably will be cancelled in a year or two.

I do not support 8-chan, but by doing this and what they did with the daily stormer they are no longer a neutral platform. A neutral platform is like a utility, barring illegal activity, users have a right to use the service as long as they

Anybody remember Google Fiber? Makes you wonder if this may be hit with similar issues. IE: it takes longer than they anticipated, it costs more than anticipated etc..

This is going to be a private cable owned entirely by Google. Thus I think the main focus is on providing Google with connectivity for their services. While I would love to think that this will improve connectivity down there to Europe etc.

As an engineer and now an author of a technical book I definitely agree with this. I have seen many places where they have a talented engineering team that cannot communicate what they have created etc. to everybody else. The worse anti-pa

The mental gymnastics here... Go is just like many Google projects and Google "community" programs. They are basically a way to get free labor while benefiting Google first and foremost. That is a philosophy that goes right up to

On one hand you have companies bleating about how they can't find enough developers, while pushing for more foreign work visas etc. in all of the developed countries. On the other hand you have talented engineers being turned down. I w

The sad part about this is that the filtering doesn't prevent getting sub standard candidates through the door. For example, I've been rejected by the Google interview process...but then shortly afterwords went to I/O expecti

There are things in the works to shift some of the liability for defaulted student loans back on to the Universities along with some forgiveness programs attached to these. People who can afford to pay them back should, but the universities

If the executive order signed in March does what it says it will I would not be surprised if that changes as well...IE: shifting some of the liability for non-payment back on the university and requiring them to state what the default rate
