I would have agreed until looking at desktop browsers in the US[1] which would make Firefox not a major browser, too. Chrome 56.69% IE 12.69% Firefox 11.14% Safari 9.84% Edge 7.86% [1] http:/&

I don’t live in the Middle East and do not speak Arabic, but arguably the coup occurred in June.[1] Saudi Arabia faces an unfavorable trend where less of world GDP will be allocated to purchase oil, and a growing royal family that expects a

I am curious about how the mesh topology based on Launchpad is superior to typical star topology LoRa. It looks like each Launchpad is $30 (multiple per light?) and Pi Zero W is $10, yet an ESP32 development board with LoRa is about $10.

The iPhone 4S and newer models also use GLONASS along with GPS for positioning. I suppose they could also encrypt their own system with a different scheme in unique situations.

From 2016 to 2017 they increased the price of the latest generation of MacBook Pros by a couple hundred dollars. It wasn’t so noticeable because they also added some lower spec models to the lineup in 2017. For example, a base non-touchbar

The next revolution could be in software that is only possible with the power available in the iPhone X, that will be mainstream for other phones in a couple years. I had an app called Vindigo on a Handspring Visor and later a Kyocera 6035

You are right that modern technology has figured out how to turn energy into soil (way oversimplified!), and that probably 80% of the nitrogen in the bodies of any of us reading this came from the Haber process. However, it still sounds biz

This year seems to have been about price increases across the range of products. The iPhone X is more expensive, and a lot more expensive than previous premium iPhones if you get sensible amounts of storage. The base model of the MacBook Pr

Is SolarCity considered a quicker replacement to the damaged power grid and supply? That a truck can carry far more energy in the form of petroleum than it can in the form of batteries is one of the arguments against wasting fossil fuels

I don’t disagree with your point, but aren’t there languages that do take into account the context in which functions are called in addition to the parameters and namespaces? Both R and Perl seem like ones where it wouldn’t be extremely s

I had the same reaction to the comment though I don't think I disagree with you. I think it was referring to engineering as simple rather than just calling the science and even a proof of concept as being relatively simple. Reducing th

I agree that the ESP32 would be a really cool way to get some practical experience with Rust. If you want to get started more easily take a look at Neil Kolban's book on the ESP32.[1] Other environments besides C include C simplified w

Once upon a time Wifi sounded dumb. It isn't that difficult to cable ethernet, and the performance is better with much less latency. The same goes for things like AirPlay audio and video. Putting them everywhere, like the kitchen count

While that sounds like a clever trick that Apple could use, they really want to minimize production costs and maximize utility for consumers. Their profit margin comes from a share of that surplus utility. I suppose it can help hide price i
