I think what a lot of people are missing in the comments when they say "I bought <product> from <brand> not a third party..." is that for new products the 'seller name' you're buying from does not corres

As an ML outsider, I'm surprised classifiers are so hyper-sensitive to pixel level inputs that this would work.

Wondering how effective NSL's would be as a phishing technique for e.g. China.. Given the secrecy and non-disclosure aspects, it's generally harder for companies to know what 'looks right'.

Are the US co's complicit in the hack, or is NSA et al doing it adversarially? That would be at least a slight difference.

Yeah, this is sort of a silly statement from Verge. I suspect the point is to bring dedicated and high quality videoconferencing equipment into the home, so we don't have to deal with low quality, below face level webcams. I have to im

Chromecast has been using ultrasonic pairing for "guest mode" for some time. Haven't seen any major backlash from it yet. I'm assuming it's very briefly used to exchange some configurations, not continuously transmi

Wondering what the benefit of a dishwashing robot is? Better off just wishing for a more convenient / compact dishwasher, I think.

>> Battery consumption will be worse, but are your users going to notice? If it's IOT, yes definitely. Some things you don't want to plug in every day--they have to run 10yrs on battery. TI is pretty good in that space.

Anyone more experienced with fiber deployments--what happens when one of these km-long fibers gets damaged in a storm? Can fiber be easily spliced in the field, or does it have to be substantially replaced?

I'll get ridiculed for this, but there's actually decent wine to be had in cans now too. I wouldn't really drink it out of a can directly, but it's pretty convenient sometimes to have a half bottle of wine, and not worry

AD sells chips at quite a premium.. Really hoping they don't drive up Maxim prices.

This exactly. I'm looking for commodity parts, I don't want to preemptively narrow that search. Also often times you'll find some great component on e.g. Maxim's website, only to find no one distributes it, so it's

It's not that archaic; PG, among others, talks about the meaning of "hacking" [1]. Not surprising that a HN crowd might default to this interpretation. Note, I'm talking about the title alone--from the actual article it&

The couple dozen keys storage limit definitely feels limiting if this ever supposed to be commonly used. Is anyone using the resident mode which OP mentions?

As far as I can tell, this is being pitched to teams, not really general purpose applications (as I imagine a highly scalable DB being used for). The pricing is quite high on a per user basis and the 'tables' max out at 100k rows,

With S-corps you do have to actually pay yourself wages, thus incurring some FICA taxes. Rule of thumb I believe is 50% of net income, up to ~$100k. Given that, you can then also contribute (and deduct) as the company up to 25% of salary to

The user terminals in the current generation are Ku only; Ka is reserved for the gateways. Interesting, the picture on reddit above--those don't look like phased arrays to me.

by mNovak 6y ago
60deg is more likely to be due to the limitation of the smaller "pizza box" user antenna, as opposed to the (likely much larger) spaceX operated gateways, which would feasibly reach down to 25deg. If I recall the FCC filing correc
