The newer iphones block 850nm almost completely. I was shining one at a half watt led just the other day and couldn't see anything. Can't remember the iPhone model.

If it replaced a DNP part, it could have been found at a flying probe test. Half the expected impedance on a few of those pins? Also AOI might have picked up a difference.

You also "need" to have growth because the population grows. Simply, if GDP or energy use is flat, that implies lower GDP or energy consumption per capita. The latter may be explained by efficiency, but the former would imply redu

I've mostly been a free market advocate for housing, alongside sensible zoning that keeps, say, chemical plants away from schools. However, I was recently convinced of one aspect of town infrastructure that really requires thoughtful m

Unless absolutely necessary, putting drive motor mechanisms and flying mechanisms on the same package is a waste of efficiency. Why have your engine pull the extra weight of your propellers...and why have your propellers lift a drivetrain?

Also....a 6 DOF arm seems like overkill for this. Hell, you could probably get away with just shoulder yaw and an extra-wide gripper.

It's certainly city thinking, I agree. However, if the demand for personal vehicle ownership in cities drops but stays level in suburban and rural areas, the overall demand still drops (or, perhaps, doesn't grow in the next decade

The point of my statement is that you would use the SUV/Truck for hauling around the kids to school/sports/roadtrips when you need a larger car and use uber or walk when you are just transporting adults or going quickly to th

Yeah, didn't really have time to flesh this out, especially if it's carbon filler material vs. continuous. I haven't worked enough with CF to know what its shielding effectiveness is but I imagine given the size of that Phase

One of the things the static images won't do justice is the leap in quality between a regular 360 degree fisheye still/video and the panomoments. Definitely worth trying out on the phone as the difference is difficult to describe

What I'd like to know is if this is relying on drones (either multirotor or fixed wings) having carbon fiber or plastic bodies as opposed to enclosed metal.

Many of those threats are technologically solved and the improvements will be iterative. Our R&D needs to focus on projected future threats. Also, our last two "wars" were no real threat to our country. We don't need dire

And, honestly, at this point, living in a city, I feel like I can either just hop in an uber or I need to borrow a truck for the utility. So, maximum utility-wise, it almost seems to me (as someone with an active lifestyle who drives away f

As far as what he has said, he wants to (to paraphrase) "bring back manufacturing jobs" and "make stuff in america again". The only way that happens is if the current way becomes prohibitively expensive or the "old&

While the "length" of these services is reduced, the bandwidth is not. Waste disposal and collection, both trash and sewage, needs to be able to support the housing. So the parent comment's point is that you can't just f

Those East-West train routes don't really have any pent up demand at the moment. http://www.america2050.org/pdf/Where-HSR-Works-Best.pdf . You can see those "islands" between which you would either need t

TrueCrypt has a feature like this. Not sure if its efficacy but the idea is that you have a password that decrypts to one thing and password that decrypts to another, I believe?

You wouldn't need to live in a city like Los Angeles. Without job security to tie you to a location, you would move to areas of the country/state where cost of living was lowest. Additionally, if you wanted to live a middle class

Definitely not, I would buy cables that had already been reviewed by a very thorough user like him! But this guy has made it a hobby to buy different USB 3 cables and try them out. If I was doing that, I would have made a continuity check t

DK1 and DK2 are light years behind the newest revision of VR tech. Try both of them back to back and see for yourself. Night and day.

I think the synthetic food market is going to be the biggest emerging market by 2020, coming out of relatively nowhere. I know that there is development around it but with all the talk about energy, privatized space, mobile computing, clean

I've always heard about the "test" but people tend to paint too broad a brush with this and lump everything in. I'm not saying that the movie industry isn't swayed one way or another, but it bothers me that there&#x

How does that not happen with their old system? You buy a disc, install it, remove the disc (doesn't need to go back in) and then give it to someone else?
