People might find it intersting to know that in the car industry Gigabit Ethernet over unshielded twisted pair is common [1] since it allows to shave off some cents on extra copper. [1] http://www.marvell.com/company/ne

There is also a very fine difference in the exact wording. You might even have the choice to decide the location where the physical copy of the code is located (E.g. your office, not theirs / on the north pole) and they actually might

I would be interested in the internals of the Edimax plug - any chance the firmware can be modified?

You might consider a career at some fortune 500 company (do not limit yourself to software companies here, every one of them has a large software department). My experience is that it involves a lot more communication and 'people skill

The 'when to travel' could be made dependend on where you live. When I lived in Norway I thought 25C is quite warm. Now that I live in south Germany I think 25C is more intermediate. Also in Spring, temperatures feel a lot higher

Once there are hardforks, people will be able to 'vote with their wallets', and a consensus will be apparent through exchance rates. Ethereum on the other hand wants to introduce the rather nebulous concept of 'proof of stake

For everybody wondering: PSP stands for Platform Security Processor, a secure enclave in the processor and AMD's version of the Intel Management Engine. Quoting from Libreboot: As such, it has the ability to hide its own program code,

I really am a bit puzzeled by the killswitches. Why does WannaCry have this functionality in the first place? It sounds almost ironically like a hollywood villain mistake.

The problem is really the lack of a magnetic field. Even if you manage to increase the atmospheric pressure, ionizing particles strip it away. What you would need to build is a superconducting ring on the equator to generate a artificial ma

Here is a video of a home-built setup based on Raspberry-Pi [1] and an opensource software stack on a fixed-wing aircraft. For use on quadcopters the problem is the latency. Analog FPV systems can achieve around ~20ms latency. [1] https:&#

The description of the (two) co-founders are 'Cofounder and Thought Leader' and 'Cofounder and Communications & Marketing'. This sounds a lot like they come both from a non-technical background. Maybe this the reason

I'm a daily user of Python but the parallelization efforts really make me wonder. When things in Python are slow, its most likely something with native Python code (in contrast to e.g. Numpy). Wouldn't it then make more sense to r

I cloned the repository and installed the requirements but after starting 'python python/server.py' I get a 404 if I try to open index.html as described. Anyone else having that problem?

I have actually been looking into this the past couple days: * The opensource toolchain of icestorm [1] is the only thing running natively on mac. * Most people run the vendor SDK on virtualbox under windows. * I heard also of people using

This is actually not true since rounding errors will compound.

If you have ever wondered about why one goes through the difficulties of the tritium fuel cycle: It's really politically motivated, so none of the participating countries has to rely on an external fuel supply.

From all I have read, lithium supply does not seem to be a major concern [1]. But if your numbers are correct, note that the currently mined lithium reservers are 14,000,000 tonnes [2]. 1 tonne lithium then gives you 10MWh of capacity. So 1

I think this is because Tesla/SolarCity/SpaceX has this philosophy of versatility of components. They want to have one and only one energy storage technology and produce it at scale. This also one reason for the Tesla/SolarCi

Speaking as a experimental physicist: The research shown is relatively inexpensive, and can be pulled off with what many labs probably have lying around anyways. I'm sure it's more a work of love anyways and the guys doing this ar

To put into proportions: The radio isotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) of the Voyager spacecraft wheighs 37kg. So let's say we can build a spacecraft using this and the EM drive weighing a total of 50kg. The RTG produces 157W of pow
