This is an interesting conclusion and I'd like to hear some reasoning behind it.

This would leave around "70000" people globally who do. The number sounds suspiciously small to me.

There are still entire websites dedicated for TV shows and music (and after you have looked at them once, they show up on Android feed), Facebook and Twitter feeds, etc. And I guess everyone agrees that Netflix recommendations are not that

I have a few plant light timers, and I'd really like to adjust them to varying daylight hours without setting every timer separately. A computer could even do the daytime calculations automatically. And while I'm at it, it would b

> The people who made the disks got paid, too. Interesting point. Did the people who made the content get paid too? And is the value of the DVD in the physical object or the content?

Not really. The speed bumps affect everyone, but it's enough that one person or group cracks the DRM and makes the result available for everyone.

KNX already does this without internet. The downside is that it's expensive and just as proprietary as the internet-connected smart gadgets.

I'm a former IT consultant, and I'd like to run my home network to the same standards as at work. I looked into it and came to the conclusion that dealing with a few timers is much less hassle than trying to do it with computers.

No, it's creating jobs for the unlucky ones who have to clean up the mess the one 200% employee made.

My guess is that since ANC already needs DSP and small headphone amp, it doesn't cost much to add a Bluetooth receiver. Removing the cable input socket and ADC could even recover some of the cost. On the other hand, it seems that there

Replying to myself since I can't edit the post above: I can't reproduce the low number any more. With current iOS I get 197ms which is not worse than competition but not that good either.

by oriolid 5y ago
Ok, I'll take back what I wrote above. I tried the measurement again and got 197ms round trip for the same 2nd gen AirPods and iPad Mini4 running current iOS. It's not the worst, but certainly not better than most of Bluetooth hea

My numbers are from measuring round trip latency through headphones and phone's built in mic and then basically guessing which part is input and which part output latency (they're both small). 200ms is certainly in line with most

The basic AirPods are the lowest latency Bluetooth headphones I have tried. In A2DP mode the latency is somewhere around 30ms that is almost good enough for playing an instrument through them but certainly good enough for games or phone cal

Also, if a man passes you on a climb with a fixed gear bike, you should assume that they could do it faster on a geared bike.

It's not news when dog bites man. And based on Wikipedia, it seems that men bite dogs more often than cyclist kill other people in accidents.

I think the idea of the algorithm interview is to see if you were awake in class while getting the degree and whether you can think on your feet. For other classes it's more difficult to come up with questions that aim for the same.
