Why not charge those that want to certify something? While this may create bad incentives ("make'em fail so we get a second fee"), I have no doubt this can be designed around with some thought.

> 3d printing a heart is one of the most complex organs to replicate That may make it a suitable target if you want to start out with a boom and getting some PR, while first "products" out the door would be less complex ones.

I hope they provide counseling and adequate protection for staff, eg frequent polling and 1:1s to early find signs of when it becomes a problem. Wifes sister is an EMT and she's really a special kind of person. Whether natural for her

Since indoor air quality/IAQ is a composite metric, I'd say that some of the interesting things to measure are: PM2.5/PM10 - particles from combustion, exhaust, traffic (wheels against asphalt) etc CO, NOx - from tr

Just had a go at it, and compared with 5.0.1, there are many improvements. To name a few: much quicker rendering when moving things in schematic view, and being able (without hand-editing files) to place things on eg Fab and Courtyard layer

If your reference is "several years back", I can assure you there are many many improvements :). Push-and-shove routing and hw-accelerated display are just two.

Is it me or does it look like the top layer has reaaaaally thick copper? Look at how it differs between areas with those squares contra area without. Looks like it's very very thick. Perhaps the solder mask.

Behold, the airpods internals. A marvel of incredibly small scale engineering and manufacturing. It's simply stunning, and to think that this is a consumer device that you can buy and pop into your ear.... And lose just as easily :) h

It's a fascinating feeling having experienced something being hyped on the way in, the excitement of having access to the technology, and also how it has become obsolete and scorned at. The zip-drives with a 100-ish megs didn't en

Wired vs wireless... With anything securityrelated, it should really be wired. At least cameras. It's very, very easy to just run a simple $2 sniffer (eg an esp8266) that sends de-auth packets and thus kicking devices off the wifi. In

Do you mean there is a new controller version that is more robust, or simply replaced with ones that aren't (yet) dusty? If the latter, it's just a question of time before one has to do the same ordeal again. I'd prefer the p

OT: I'm quite disappointed by the switch hardware. We're using it lightly in our family, not tugging it around or travel with it. Mostly game with it docked. Ca 1 year old at this time. The controllers have both been plagued by th

Aviation safety is written with blood, a high cost for every safety measure conceived. It is one of the areas where it's better to be wrong and safe. Aircrash investigations take a lot of time, and sometimes, well, sometimes you have t

I like to think that when I see such really nice behaviour, I should supply positive reinforcement since I know how much such things can matter to people. Eg I had a really nice commuter bus ride, when about to go off, I went to the driver

SMS can be chained seamlessly to form longer messages. SMS is frequently between two parties, twitter is the opposite. I'd say SMS is very good for (asynch electronic) conversations between two people, twitter for one-way short thought
