My only other option is a 3Mb DSL line. For the past few years I have subscribed to DSL, just to avoid feeding Comcast. Comcast/Cable Internet should be regulated like a utility.

A lot of this article talks about the US government subsidies and back rubbing required to sell to the US market. What about the reverse case? What is required to sell Boeing planes in Europe? Last time I checked there are a lot of protec

Actually, I was impressed how much security Bosch included in their device. For a IoT device I would give this a gold star. I am sure after this report was given to them, they patched their firmware.

I went to Kaui for a 2 week camping trip a few years back. I would listen to the local radio broadcast at night, which I really enjoyed. It was some local DJ that would talk about native rights and issues. One thing that stuck out to me w

I have seen this company slowly mature over my past 6 years living in Corvallis, Oregon (original location for NuScale). I was excited when I first saw the design and started to look at employment opportunities at the company. At the time

Just keep them off the single-track (back country trails on public lands). There is a serious problem going on right now where eBikes are being used by hiking advocates to ban all Mountain Bikes (ie, normal pedal powered) off the trails. M

I printed, then read the first few chapters. After which, I decided to buy the book to finish reading. A fantastic book, I could not recommend it more. Especially, for those that feel that they missed something in their undergraduate clas

Ok Amazon, why not do this? Skip the whole stocked shelf thing entirely. Have a website setup that customers can build a shopping cart, then just show up and pickup their "pre-bagged" groceries. The benefits to this are obvious.

I disagree. Especially, if you combine it with a graphical tool like Matlab or the Python libs. Take a lower triangle matrix multiply it by a vector, and "boom" you just explained causal convolution. Wash and repeat for several

Here is a interesting Pod-Cast about the MPAA: http://www.stuffyoushouldknow.com/podcasts/how-the-mpaa-work... I always thought it was more useful, as a parent, to see an enumerated list of adult topics before the prog

Just finished paying my student loans this month. 8 years at $500/month. Yeah, I overpaid to get rid of them faster, but if I could have gotten a reduction in year 2016+X I would have paid the minimum.

In the video, the author claims to be part of a hardware accelerator in China called HAX ( https://hax.co/accelerator/ ). Any other information on this? I find it interesting on their website that the conclusion of the

I think they meant, "Does the 'undergraduate' student get a discount for a class that is being taught by a Graduate Student rather then the original faculty staff". As everyone here knows, NO.

Using a daily planner (on paper, not a app). I figured this out about 2 months ago. Being able to write down the tasks and scan back through my backlog has helped me be more productive. For me, using a calendar service or task manager app

It is very easy for the user to change the default Search Engine for the browser (to say Google or DuckDuckGo). I would think most FireFox users do this... So, $375M/year seems like a very high price for Yahoo to be paying. Is this j
