It's 69° south, so it's not so much the south pole as the polar region. For reference, the major landmass of Antarctica starts around that point on Earth. McMurdo Station is at around 78° South.

A limit to the speed of causality makes physics so much simpler. Without it you'd need to factor in the interaction of every particle with every other particle in the universe.

Regulators are playing way too fast and loose in this case, but given the number of human drivers that collide with firetrucks - just drop the "for a computer" from your definition.

Yes, those temps are absolutely sane for hot air. You didn't specify that.

That's quite aggressive. I typically reflow with peak 225C. https://microchip.my.site.com/s/article/SAM-Cortex-M3-M4-M7-...

Genius. I've opened up a few devices to put aluminum foil between the LED and the case. The nice thing about aluminum is you can poke a tiny hole to let a small amount of light through.

Smaller parts are so much easier with a vacuum pen. You just need expensive tips for 0402 and smaller.

There's fish tank pumps that can be easily adapted and work great. You use a luer fitting to attach the vacuum tips. From there you can add extras, like pass the tubing through a pen and epoxy the luer to the end of the pen. A foot ped

If you're watching a movie or TV show, a vast majority of the sounds you are hearing are not "real". Has that bothered you before?

Superconductors don't make dynamic power somehow go to zero, switching from one state to another still means draining the capacitance.

So what you're saying, is that even with a weaker el nino, we still have higher global average temps? And this is somehow "sensationalized?"

That certainly is the impression I get from this graph https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/graphs_v4/

That's generally how things must work. If a bunch of companies are polluting a river with industrial waste because if they don't, they won't remain competitive and profitable with the other companies that do, the solution is

In this case, it's large groups of independent scientists all coming to the same conclusion on global average temperature.

Scientists and researchers in this area work very hard to not just account for heat island effect, but also a myriad of other effects. https://climate.nasa.gov/explore/ask-nasa-climate/3071/the-r...

It's well known that iptables operates on the normal sockets layer. It would similarly be surprising behavior if you could not see packets that are present but dropped when running tcpdump. Note that this distinction only applies to pa

Just imagine what snowboarder does to slow down. Turning the snowboard a bit sideways but leaning in such a way to keep going "straight".

And a reminder that the new CEO is only the CEO in name only. Musk is quite clearly the one running the company.

Dunno, I'm pretty thankful a barrier of sorts exists between us and the possible multitude of other civilizations that may be out there.

The more galaxies we can see, the more lack of evidence we have for any large scale changes to the universe by any intelligence. Many people take this as an indication that there is no other intelligent life or life of any kind in our obser

I don't see how money spent on advertising billboards improves anyone's lives. The money is just going to leave owners. At least with media the advertising dollars are funding media creators.

I suspect this is less about scraping and more about artificial manipulation of view counts to both push certain scams/tweets to the top. I don't think they are providing advertising kickbacks yet, but that would only amplify this

I love how the town square model gets completely thrown out whenever it's inconvenient.

Yes, so long as when browsing products there's a checkbox to ignore all such reviews so I can sort by a rating that doesn't include such shenanigans.

I think if you want the historical context, read the dissenting opinions from the other justices. Such as https://thehill.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2023/06/Jacks...

It's difficult to comprehend what's going on here without it being spelled out because it really is that dumb. For an Android app to connect to BLE devices, it needs the location permission. An Android app with the location permis

The worst part about this is last I checked, Android requires location permission to connect to a BLE device. Presumably because BLE scanning can determine location.

I fail to see how passing on a credit card processing fee is rampant corruption.

Ok, but what about when you take it in for service and the first step in the service manual is to verify connectivity, which they do. There car then uploads it's backlog of data.
