The landing on the rooftop with a parachute and almost falling off - if it weren't for his lucky last second grab, is pretty intense. I wondered the same thing - why not just hide behind a curtain?

It says they have around 200k members. I wonder how many are paid members? 1% of 200k is 2k, times $12 = $24k/month. I would suspect 1% is low. Probably closer to 5%. So ~ $100k/month and growing...

I've bought two domains from a squatter company. They were asking $14k and $10k each. We placed two low-ball offers and ended up settling at $2k and $1k. This was from a major domain seller so you might find you can get them for 1/10 the

This makes one wonder how much influence major websites are having on designers in general. If a designer is using facebook 10 times a day, will they submliminally add facebook style typography or layout on their next client site?

A bit of a sensationalist title? There's not even a mention of Steve Jobs in the actual article. How is this article getting promoted to the top of HN?

Are there any videos of a full flight? I only saw an indoor test flight. Wondering what happens when you get a strong wind - a good control system is going to be needed to keep the thing from total failure.

The more I think about it, you're right. We were recently explaining to one of our clients about some basic SEO topics. They did not understand that the links on the side of Google are paid links. I wonder what the CTR is for Google Ads o

This really makes me sad. Webiste are moving from "click-the-monkey" ads to "camouflage" ads. Surfing... Surfing.... Doh! (Clicked on camouflage ad). Facebook is using this hard - it takes considerable horsepower to try to determine what

Hey why the downmods? Knobs are a very important part of an oscilloscope...

by proee 17y ago
Using knobs on an oscilloscope is comparable to using a mouse on pc. They get the job done! All of the top-of-the-line oscilloscopes still use knobs - this includes digital oscilloscopes with full touch screens.
