What is this trend of writing a lot of words about a new product without ever saying what it is ? Am I supposed to already know all the strange, early brands that just released a developer kit? At least this article is linking to the Myo

That kind of stable flight is ok for an unmanned vehicle, but I don't think a passenger/pilot would be delighted abut that kind of accelerations and spin.

As many of the other answers say, the current multicopters are very simple, mechanically: an electric motor directly coupled to a fixed-pitch propeller. Everything is controlled by the amount of current the motors receive. Any other alterna

I guess this is because the technology only solves one of the problems (getting a very narrow writing beam/point) and not the others, like: making the disk so stable that it doesn't wobble for more than a few nanometers during rot

If the article is correct (saying that the memory bandwidth is very important) then a 780Ti is still interesting (336GB/s[1] vs 224GB/s[2]). They increased the memory clock but they decreased the memory interface width from 384 to

Yes, you can get great service from such companies. But you also take the risk of the company shutting down because they lost 2 customers and it cannot afford to be alive anymore - and then you have the added costs of switching to another (

With all the downsides to sapphire (cost, thickness, light transmission), you start wondering if the previous iPhones were using this material just as a marketing point and not because there was an actual benefit to the users.

From the website (before signing up) I have no idea if it's a desktop application, a web application, a phone application, and on what OSes does it run.

What I find strange is that touch typing with the remapped "CTRL in the corner" works great, but when I look at the keyboard and try the same combination (usually for strange combinations), I press the "wrong" (Fn) key.

The problem European countries have with the high-speed trains is that they are not as cheap as normal (slow) trains, and by introducing the high-speed ones they retired many cheap ones - that were slower but still got you there. This reduc

It's caused by the "rewind" word. I never owned a VCR but still thought about one :). The software started to use other terms for the action, like "jump backwards" (VLC media player). Probably because the actual rew

This reminds me of an anecdote from a local (European) telco: A customer called the customer support line because their monthly invoice was way higher than in the previous months. They had 3G data access modems/SIMs and a fairly standa

With a cold start - yes. But most GPS chips have memory backup for short-term almanac data (valid for up to 4 hours, works if the GPS doesn't move long distances in that time period) and internal clocks, so it can perform a warm start.

Picasaweb still works as before if you manage to not upgrade your account to G+ (not easy, as Google has some devious ways to make you upgrade, and I guess any new account is G+ by default).

The EU has quite strong laws regarding the naming and labeling of wines. A Champagne bottle is not only a sparkling wine coming from France, but from the specific Champagne region, from a limited types of grapes grown in that region and obt

That reminds me of a funny story: a friend was working on some servers in a big telco and saw two guys carrying something that looked like a heavy, thick pipe, and a big hammer. "Hey, what's that?" "Power cable for the U

That's just because your opportunity cost is high. Compare it to a person who makes $100 in a month (there are countries where $100 is close to the median income) and you will understand why there are people who do actually copy or sca

The data is coming from the subset of people who have iPhones. So you can have 30 million people walking, but if only a few are rich enough to have an iPhone, then they are invisible.

Can I follow you anywhere and photograph/record you doing everything? This is usually called stalking and it's illegal, unless it's done by the government, when it's called protecting from terrorists.

In the past, the DSLRs sensors were quite sensitive to long exposures. As I remember it, during long exposures the sensor could get so hot that it could actually burn the color filter - so the color accuracy decreased over time. This was wh

It's not because of that. They are also covering all the plastic components (maybe it attacks plastic?) so it's still a lot of work even if you don't have to cover half the car.

A firm grip on the handle as the axe hits the wood is a sure way to sore/strained wrists even for a normal axe, as the handle can rotate and also vibrate, depending on how and where it hits the wood. A loose grip looks like a must with

That's because it uses higher voltage. See the comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7547420 Most of the pins of a CPU are actually power pins, because it can use >100W @~1V => 100 Amps through a lo
