Yeah — I’m not suggesting it’s perfect. Just highlighting what’s possible, since I didn’t discover that capability myself until like 3 weeks ago..!

But that still depends on a pre-established route between the devices (shared wifi etc), right? Native apps can do WiFi Direct and BT and whatnot as well.

I’ve been looking around the iOS App Store for exactly that app, for playing multiplayer card games with one dealer while on a train etc. Haven’t found the right thing yet, but the App Store is sooo spammy especially when it comes to card g

Having been belittled by my second-trade teacher for my abysmal cursive, I’m pretty happy to see that particular bit of arcana go by the wayside.

I think it depends a lot on where you live. Some places have predictable weather (rainy all day, or sunny in the afternoons, or whatever) but other places see random storms with no rhyme or reason. In those latter markets, something that te

A couple years ago, when I was on a pizza kick, the thing that worked best for me was to start cooking the dough on the stovetop on a very hot cast iron skillet. I would cook it long enough for the dough to start to change color and bubble

I find the euphemistic use of “impacted” to be more irritating than the passive voice. “Seventeen of our teammates were laid off today” still suffers from the passive voice, but is much more up-front. (Plus, presumably many other teammates

In the US, “laid off” has a pretty substantially different meaning than “fired”. “Laid off” usually means that the company shut down a group of roles, and the individuals happened to be in those roles and so lost their jobs. “Fired” usually

The $250k is the protection floor , not the ceiling. The FDIC guarantees that $250k, but SVB has assets well beyond $250k per account. The FDIC is in the business of protecting depositors. So it will pay out the floor immediately as a matt

UHF and VHF (that is, Ultra High Frequency and Very High Frequency) are the 3GHz-300MHz range and the 300MHz-30MHz range, respectively. That translates to a 10cm-1m wavelength for UHF and 1m-10m for VHF. Minimal effective antenna size for a

Yeah sure. And that ties into all our existing infrastructure, which seems fair. If we can extract and burn and extract and burn and keep going with that loop (without dinosaur input), then all that extract-burn cycle is zero-carbon. We can

Storing liquids (or solids) from at STP is far simpler than storing it in gaseous form. If we can cheaply extract CO2 or methane from the atmosphere and make liquid from it, we could sequester it in all sorts of trivial ways.

IIRC the Tesla Roadster had a 2-speed transmission initially, due to engineering challenges with high-rpm bearings. But they struggled with the engineering challenges of high-torque transmissions, and eventually sorted out the bearing issue
