That's not what a "not guilty" verdict means. The jury didn't find that the results given to the patients were accurate. They found that Holmes was not personally, criminally culpable for wire fraud in those cases. Wire

By the same line of reasoning, you could say that my car doesn't have an emergency oxygen mask, therefore airliners don't need them either. If the airplane goes too high for passengers to breathe comfortably, it's 100% the pi

This is a cool stunt, but it's not at all practical for IoT communications. For one thing, it requires a big dish and a huge amount of transmission power to get a barely-distinguishable reflected signal. The other big issue is that it
