It is a bit cheesy, yeah? But I do like the simplistic, big buttons with clear pictures. I don't want to have to take an extra second to decipher a material-design pictograph that sacrifices some aspect of understanding for visual aest

Grainger sells 1L bottles of saline for $12.15. Bags are about the same price elsewhere on the internet. One thing I'm wondering is if the $200 (or $2000) also includes the labor to set it up and the consumables that go along with the

Not host your own hardware or not get a dedicated server? Whether you host your own hardware in your home or rent a dedicated server, you are still responsible for proper security. Renting a VPS is a different story, you are relying on the

There is plaque build up which the "fuzzy" feeling that you might have after waking up in the morning or just after not brushing for awhile. It's a biofilm but it's easily removed by brushing.

You can get plenty of modern stuff to go into a MicroTCA chassis. For what is essentially an industrial computer hooked up to motors and sensors, that kind of base hardware is perfect for the role.

Google is just one of the tenants along with Food Network and Major League Baseball. They also own the building across the street, 111 Eighth Ave. Some other companies rent space in there too. Google has the cash, doesn't want to pay r

The worst is when you have a self-checkout that adds a wait between scanning identical items. If I buy more than one of the same items, I scan other things between them otherwise the system makes you pause for several seconds because it thi

They are a government agency with a nearly endless supply of money granted to them by Congress every year without fail . They don't need to do PR for anyone except to gain more employees.

Amazon didn't handle any of the merchandise. It's Amazon Marketplace so it works like ebay, they just host the listing and process payments while the seller does all the shipment and the buyer is the one actually importing the cou

Target has handscanners in their self-checkout lines too. It makes it so much easier to scan heavy stuff on your own without having to hold up a heavy case of water or huge sack of potatoes and hope the barcode gets read in the first try.

Seems like there are two possibilities: engine noise is causing windows to vibrate making a sensor go off or the reverse distance sensor that uses microwave radar (X band) is causing the base unit to think a sensor is going off. It is a WRX

I guess when you stop sending all of your engineers and scientists to the gulag, they actually have a chance to improve their designs (or integrate stolen ones).

There are plenty of slug line commuter parking lots around the area that you can find people that will ride for free in your car so everyone can take advantage of HOV lanes. It's definitely a thing in some places where the passengers h

For some people, building electronics is a hobby they enjoy. For others, it's a job they do all day long. Same with sewing and gardening.

Find a financial planner that charges a flat fee, not a commission. He's not going to be selling you some stupid investment vehicle because he's not getting paid to sell that, he's getting paid to help you. He also is going t

Maybe there is a Veblen goods kind of situation going on here. If I made enough money to eat out every day for lunch, would I want to go spend my lunch at what is essentially a soup kitchen or would I want a venue that is nicer? India still

You can calculate an estimate of reentry from atmospheric drag. It's not going to be exact but anything you throw up into LEO is going to come down someday and as long as the atmosphere doesn't change too much, it should be fairly

Anything designed by engineers for engineers is probably not going to have much style. A lot of software out there works the same way it has worked since the 80s because the guys originally making it back then still make it today, same with

You could put in an orbit that would have a predefined reentry in the future. Design the satellite to survive reentry and somehow safely land in a way that relies on a mechanical system that wouldn't degrade like electronics in space w

I usually trust Google Maps to give me the standard way to get somewhere that I've never been to or know anything about, no weird shortcuts or crazy backroads. I use Waze when I'm trying to get somewhere that I already know the ge

But then then Google Maps and Waze will be able to see the rise in traffic along those routes and not recommend those routes to commuters during certain hours. Additionally, you can usually request the municipal govt monitor the road and in
