I am interested in other peoples experience with Instacart as a provider. Their model is interesting but in NYC my anecdotal experience with them has been really poor. In this market their are several viable alternatives and I would rank th

I wonder how the total bandwidth of the system will compare to BGAN which is pretty darn costly compared to LTE. Terminals would also have to be more reasonable to expand past the media/energy customers that BGAN tilts towards.

I was visiting a friend in Sri Lanka in 2004 and he was checking cricket scores on his phone in the middle of the jungle. I still can’t get a signal the whole way between KC and Omaha. We Americans sometimes ave a distorted view of the worl

Just a brief question from a non-engineer: Is this the same kind of phenomenon that produces the illusion of a fifth voice in a barber shop quartet? Thanks!

The author fundamentally misunderstands some of the economic drivers of family life in NYC. In Manhattan only 20% of households have children. This is not driven by dreams of the suburbs or a love of mega-commutes but dollars. Even good New

This article suffers from a lack of precision in important terminology. "Drug companies" are typically understood to be research based pharmaceutical companies such as Merck or generics companies such as Teva (I realize there is s

I am an MFA with a lot of friends in STEM fields some of whom express similar feelings. A couple of suggestions: 1. Look for art that you connect with. Some people weep at the sight of a Rothko, overcome by emotion, others say, "what t

I found this interesting and posted the article because the accompanying video shows the complex wave form of the sound believed responsible for the injuries to dimplomats.

Saying my family history is significant for depression is an extreme understatement. My parents and grandparents shared the sunny disposition of Henrik Ibsen. It was no surprise that I too suffered from major depressive episodes and dysthym

One thing about HAM that I didn't see in perusing the comments is how many tools HAM operators have developed that integrate with the internet. There are a bunch of tools that let you start out on HF and hit a receiver or repeater that

A few people have said that going from Technician to General or General to Extra is difficult. It is not totally easy but I did find a tool when I was studying for my Extra exam (passed). I don't post to much here so if I am out of bou

What is most disturbing about these incidents is that while they have been variously labeled "a sonic attack" or "potentially the by product of a surveillance system", nothing I have seen has proposed anything like a mec

My primary reference is Auerbach's Wilderness Medicine 7th Edition. It states that a consensus definition of "dry drowning" has been somewhat elusive. While laryngospasm may play a role in some drownings, opinion seems to lea

I'm sure there is some degree of companies wanting expiry to be like the dates on grocery items that are really "taste best by" dates but in speaking to manufacturing and development people their are some layers of complexity

This issue is a conundrum. Most drugs don't fall off a cliff of efficacy when they reach their expiration date. There are drugs such as tetracyclines that should never be used past their expiration dates because they degrade into toxic

Allow me to don a shiny new cap of quality Reynolds aluminum foil and say this. If it was meant to be observed, and if it was intentional, and if it was nearly "danger close", couldn't this suggest that USA 276 is a platform

My ultimate correct diagnosis was a cluster of a few interrelated issues. Bilateral defects in the pars interarticularis around L4-L5 led to chronic degenerative changes at that level as well as a grade one spondylolisthesis. This was coupl

Well said. Owning a firearm is a serious commitment and responsibility. You describe well the dedication it takes for a gun to be a useful tool and not just a hazard in the home. Choosing the right weapon for your needs is not just a trip t
