Agreed there is no explicitly enumerated right, but in the context of computing, it is not illegal for a computer to transmit “untrue” information. Fraud is a significantly higher bar. I am not a cyber-lawyer.

I disagree, you have the right to set your user-agent to anything you’d like, or nothing at all.

I don’t think that’s a given. If you’re constantly stopping/accelerating, average speed is much lower. The rail from downtown Seattle to the airport has a comical number of stops that barely see any traffic. The optimal system to conne

Higher altitude orbits are slower in angular velocity, but faster in linear velocity, assuming a circular orbit. Faster debris ends up in higher orbit.

What you’re describing is not a product, it’s a kludge. Even if you can stomach the poor reliability of an octopus of wires, a product designed to be used like that is likely to fail EMI testing. I’ve certainly done this with SAS Harnesses

I think the real use-case for these is for use on a large campus: University, Corporate, or otherwise. We have a half-dozen at work for getting between buildings, and the key advantage is that you can park almost anywhere for a short time w

Having driven these quite a bit, I think its important to understand that while they're not particularly safe, they don't _feel_ particularly safe. 25mph feels incredibly fast, sort of like riding a bike. I think it's far eas

Partly mistreatment perhaps, but moreover gross incompetence by the administration. For years they’ve been unwilling or unable to fix the most basic issue: Mail delivery, sensible health insurance options, pay that tracks the cost of liming

This issue aside, they are not, and it does not. :)

It’s the best layout software I’ve used. Nevertheless, I’ve started preferring KiCAD for personal projects for the reasons mentioned above.

Related, but are the pictures meant to be sideways/upside down?

I watched the hearing, but didn’t read the article, and I was going to say. These comments are far more vitriolic than I would have expected.

Keep an eye on those skateboard batteries. I left a few of those charging and burned down the house. Get an ammo crate for them!

Even in a professional environment, there's a limit to how specialized the gear on a single bench can be. With a constraint of finite money, there's a tradeoff between specialized and general-purpose equipment. The Analog Discover

Pictured in the post but not listed as a recommendation is an Analog Discovery Pro. It's a headless oscilloscope/power supply/logic analyzer/SMU/more.

Under good conditions lead-free solder works fine, but the difference in melting point really starts to hurt when you're working on large belly-pad ICs. The intended rework procedure for that kind of part involves several minutes of ho

That DC/DC converter is quite large and expensive for the rated power, no? If you’ve got a stable low-impedance DC source, I imagine you could do a lot better following a TI application note :) I picked up a very tiny 65W GaNFET usbC b

I think the discussion here is missing something. The issue isn't "shielding" the radio. Modern power electronics, including Hybrid/EV drivetrains and modern electronic transmissions, produce in-band interference for bro

Nitpick, but: > Arduino literally opened their platform to competitors and flourished. Arduino as a hardware manufacturer has collapsed in relevance in the last 5 years, in part because they were continually undercut by clones and simila

On the contrary, I feel sort of sad that so many people seem to find their work unfulfilling. I work a job that’s more work than some alternatives could be. I could at any point quit and find easier work that paid better. But I chose to wor

Wow, this hits close to home. I just moved a thousand miles from school to a new state. I live near work, which is about 30 miles from the nearest city (no public transit to speak of). If there's any spots for young people to socialize

As a recent grad, I think there's room to have both had an amazing experience and be upset about huge structural issues. The student body is mostly great, the education is generally very good, and the industry connections are amazing.
