From the article it sounds like they were planning to manufacture large screen TV's. That does make some sense because the cost of shipping large items often outweighs the cost advantage of manufacturing overseas.

What's the motivation or use for this?

Thinking about this reminded me of the line from the movie "The Big Short" where Michael Burry says one of the indicators of the coming crisis was an increase in the rate of fraud. Juxtapose that with what feels like an uptick in

You could still get that with the Windows Classic theme up until Windows 8 when they took it out. I'm not sure what I'll do when Windows 7 support ends next year all the new windows interfaces have been horrendous.

Latency could be an advantage. The New iridium terminals for the higher speed data are larger than BGAN though, at least the couple that I've seen specs on.

Perhaps but you can do the same with BGAN, iDirect, or Kymeta Kyway with better bandwidth this just seems like it has no competitive advantage over competitors except perhaps coverage at the poles.

Anyone know a good source of info on the Iridium Certus service they are supposed to start offering with this new constellation? Based on the marketing material I could find it seems like the upstream is only ~350 Kbps even though there ar

The occupied bandwidth of a signal depends on it's symbol rate (aka baud rate). Slower symbol rate results in a narrower bandwidth signal. The article mentions that this slowed down the baud rate of the serial port. So it sounds like

Their view seems to be that that based on the things the president has said and done[0] the public will ultimately lay the blame / credit for the shutdown at his feet and that will hurt him politically. From a strategic view a shutdown

Low hundreds if you only consider American citizens. There is some info on Wikipedia but it hasn’t been updated in a few years. Thing is there were also a lot of contractors in Vietnam just not the Blackwater type that gets a lot of the pr

They can file for unemployment benefits. The concept of a furlough isn’t even unique to government the only unique part is the cause.

Even including contractors there was still an order of magnitude more casualties in Vietnam.

A bit tangential but, It will be interesting to see what happens this time because, unlike in the past, congress passed the Defense portion of the budget for the full year so the military (and civilians that work for the Department of Defen

I'd be surprised if that is being effected by this shut down. The Defense budget was passed and the Department of Defense isn't shut down this time. Also National Guard units are typically funded by the state and not the federal

Yes, if you assume it ends up being relatively short. What happens if this goes on for months? Also contractors don't get back pay only the government workers so you can't say this is all just a matter of everyone trusting in th

Can a landlord sue Yahoo if a laid off worker can't pay their rent? This is really no different.

It borders on impossible to quantify because you have the first order effects of government workers not being paid but then you also have a much larger number of contract workers and obligations that may or may not be able to continue depen

Check out CircuitHub they make it really easy to iterate on a design and get an instant quote on cost to build it. Really nice automated interface for quoting takes almost all the design parameters directly out of your design files. Makes

This seems a little disingenuous to me. The implication of the first attack is not that someone might sneak into your house and modify your Ledger hardware. It's that hardware could come to you with modified firmware from the get go.
