I'm really exited that they've found a new location. Berlin was nice but was restricted to less than 4k people IIRC. Hamburg was awesome and the Congress suddenly grew to 12k visitors. The upper floors there still had carpet which

I'd guess it's because stress weakens the immune system, thus bacteria/viruses have greater effect. AFAIK stress also increases the production of stomach acid.

Agreed, if you don't mind the size or appearance you should be able to build yourself an awesome hearing aid today in no time. Use a good in-ear speaker, a good mic and an external controller in a box, based on one of the many DSP chip

Good point. But if they can't manufacture ballpoint pens, how can they make bearings? Maybe it's due to their small size?

From the article, they've been lacking good sources of quality steel and/or the steel manufacturing techniques required to make the tiny and super hard steel balls used in ballpoint pens.

For very small number of elements, an array or a list can be more efficient than hash maps. My rule of thumb is to avoid hash maps if you know you'll never have more than 100 entries, and then try to find the bottleneck later on. Using

Nice tool, thanks for the link! However, we need someone to build an app that can detect ultrasonic FSK signals and log them / pop up a notification. I assume they use short bursts which makes looking at the spectrum constantly unfeasi

My point is that they could if they wanted to. Granted, they don't need the money, but still... it's something you can easily hide and nobody would be able to tell without spending weeks looking at disassembly.

If can also recommend the Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 for visual computing projects like this. I was pleasantly surprised of the range of focus and that everything can be controlled via UVC. It could be cheaper though...

I wouldn't be surprised if Google, Apple or Amazon are doing (or going to do) something similar. It doesn't create much traffic at all, a couple of bytes is enough and they can be tacked on to the data stream without anyone notici

Why? Others are donating a whole kidney or parts of their liver etc, which is much riskier. Compared to that, taking some drugs for short time to increase blood cell production sounds tame. I'd rather worry about the bone marrow donati

That's called Vasovagal Syncope [0]. It doesn't necessarily happen because you see your own blood in a bag, but rather because of the physical implications of having blood removed from your body. Drawing slower or smaller volumes

They also won't accept you as a donor if you have any kind of auto-immune disease (because we still don't know how it works and if it can be transfered via blood cells or marrow), and generally, your body has to be in good shape.

I want to raise awareness that you don't have donate an organ to save lives. Blood cancer patients all over the world are frantically looking for bone marrow and blood cell donors. The chances for a match are very low, but if they find

I don't think you can compare the changes between Ada 83/95/2005/2012 to what has happened to C++. The Ada language seems much more stable and backwards compatible to me, and given it's nature, it makes sense to avo

If the leakage rate is constant and your calculations say that it's impossible for the software to crash before the missile (heh), everything is fine. A missile has a maximum range because fuel is finite, so you can be sure it doesn&#x

Side project idea: ultrasonic jammer. It's really simple, just use a piezo speaker and drive it with a small microcontroller (or an analog circuit) to jam the frequencies they're using. The only problem is that dogs and other anim

Something tells me it's not going to flop and they'll sell at least a couple 10k devices. They know what they are doing, even if we can't understand it.

I assume they adhere to best practices, so no, MitM shouldn't be possible. If they don't we would've heard about it already.
