To your second point, google seems to have ramped up their efforts on micro mapping a lot in the last year. I frequently get a little questionnaire after using google maps to get somewhere that asks me to pinpoint exactly where the entrance

It depends on what you're looking at. I develop electronics hardware, and it is still incredibly difficult to get a lot of ICs. Texas instruments still has not caught up, and their chips are used just about everything, including on gra

I saw some pictures a while ago on twitter of their new fab in Arizona under construction. It looked pretty similar. TSMC means business when they start building out. I don't want to imagine handling logistics on a construction site li

To add to this, each apple airpod earbud has a 93mWh (0.093Wh) battery and can in theory last about 6 hours. So, a headband that can capture 0.1Wh of energy in 20 min would recharge about 3 hours worth of airpod listening time. It's de

Loon was shut down, but some of the technology is being elsewhere. (not surprising, this is how a lot of r&d projects go) Some of the laser communication link tech is being used in project taara.

You would be astounded if you looked more deeply in to this. I have tried in vain to get my landlord to stop paying a lawncare company to regularly (every month or two) dousing the patchy, dry, awful grass patches some call a lawn with fert

This applies to basically all electronics design tools. Insanely expensive ($5-100k per seat per year is common) and insanely buggy. Altium, considered one of the best PCB cad tools, hard crashes for me every hour or two of design work I do

In northern KY it's about as you would expect. Limited, but there are a handful of companies doing interesting things.

Shockley Semiconductor, the company? Yes, it eventually closed because of this. It took a decade of them floundering, but it did happen.

GNSS is a generic term for satellite based positioning systems. It looks like you're referring to the iPhone adding Galileo support in the 8/X. L5 support has been available in a number of devices for a couple of years now. Garmin

Spot on. Even in the midwest US (e.g. Ohio) high end contractors can pull in close to the numbers you mentioned. Definitely requires 50-60+ hours a week for decades to get there though.

A big part of the reason for this is that rural areas/exurbs get heavily, heavily subsidized. A few years ago my local ISP (Cincinnati bell) literally stopped their profitable roll out of fiber in the city for the better part of a year

A simple scenario to test your idea out: you're hiking lower on a mountain and not 100% confident exactly where you are on a trail. An unexpected thunderstorm appears and you want to bail ASAP. Do you climb up to an exposed area in the

As Quesera mentioned, I wasn't trying to be skeptical about your deck falling down. Sounds like the deck portion was built decently, but there was no ledger board or similar included to tie the deck in to the house structure. Sorry to

There's a lot of details missing from your post, but it's basically a requirement for many of the structural connections (joists/joists hangers) on a deck to be done with nails. Screws are typically very brittle and will snap

Navigating with a map and compass on a well worn, maintained trail is one thing. Using a map and compass in an area with numerous social trails, unofficial/unmarked trails, animal paths, etc is a different beast. Especially if you&#x27

There are a bunch of estimates out there, but the best guess is that starlink can currently serve around 300 terminals per cell. Each cell is 146 miles, which is around 2 terminals per square mile. People may be clustered a bit, giving the

Or, more like TI locked you in to their garbage IDE that cost quite a lot of money to unlock fairly standard debugging and compilation features. They entirely shot themselves in the foot with that one.
