Absolutely, you need to be dealing with a specialty vendor that understands their own supply chain. I’ve had good experiences with batteryspace.com (AA Portable Power). Not affiliated. Amazon’s logistics advantage is huge, but unless I abso

The former can be just as disingenuous as the latter. Jon Stewart wielded immense political influence amongst the under-30 crowd, but whenever seriously challenged, hid behind the defense of comedy. Yiannopoulos consistently billed himself

I'm actually happy to see this. Strongly feel that the current generation of headsets are not good enough and VR needs at least one more cycle of pushing the envelope at the high end price point before finding mass market success. Unfo

Are you telling me he shares his personal opinions on his personal Twitter account? The monster! Now clearly, Mr. Persson has not been completely un-personed. Yet. But the process is rolling.

Surely it would not be a problem to have Markus stay on topic and avoid any controversial territory in his remarks. However, is it possible to ask others to refrain from "calling him out" in such a public setting? No, not at all.

Assuming every one of those overnight stays means two days spent in Berlin, and if they are spread out over the year, that's 175 thousand tourists at any given time, about 5% of the population. Of course they'll congregate in cert

The false dichotomy persists in your rephrasing. You could maintain excellent fitness with a more moderate exercise regime. Sorry if it comes across as an attack on your lifestyle. It isn't meant to be. If you find extrinsic motivation

But they don't say that, and if they did, you certainly wouldn't need any new policies to ban them. There are the 8chan lunatics, but outside that there are a wide range of views on what the white nationalist end-goal is and how t

The hype around machine learning has reached a point where every time someone sees a moderately challenging problem they leap to some nebulous "ML" solution. No, we've long had the technology to solve most of this. Clip corre

Any attempt to scale is going to have to come up with serious barriers to hold back the tsunami of lonely and undesirable males. I don't believe it's actually possible.

The clock source is typically generated by a phase locked loop from the external crystal oscillator. There's a PLL multiplier and divider value that you can set obtain the desired frequency. I think the MCU starts running at a low sp

There’s a pretty vast gulf between 70s era threshold, edge detect, morphology type methods and deep learning. Robust feature detectors, voting methods, etc. can fill that gap for object detection and pose estimation. Also simpler machine le

Possible that the hype around deep learning will dissipate as highly anticipated applications turn out to be more challenging than expected, technologists settle in for a long trek, and investors flee the space in search of easier returns.
