I wouldn't have thought to do it, but after seeing it, i think I could do this on a Bridgeport. I'm only so-so at machining, but I can make a Bridgeport grind with great precision in a rectangle!

Amazon already sounded like the worst FAANG to work for due to the way they sculpt reviews to avoid options vesting, combined with lower salaries than the other FAANGs. But with this? Yup, 100%. I don't see why someone would consider A

It's already happening. CWA has around 700k members, many of of them are technologists, programmers, etc. It isn't just low level or IT. There are a lot of things that a union can do that would be nearly impossible for non-unioniz

The move they'll make (I've seen this firsthand) is they'll exclude the most senior people (architects, distinguished engineers) from union eligibility. Leadership will do this by including them in meetings where they are pri

It is interesting to read something like this and then go back to YouTube where there are 100s of videos pointing to this test as one of our most important ways to understand psychology and success. I suppose we all parrot things that have

I’m both fascinated by notation attempts for modular, and find them refreshingly useless. I’ve been playing with modular synths for over 25 years. One of my favorite parts is the ephemeral nature of patching. A bump of a knob or the nature

Is someone's voice their IP? Is it more-valuable property because they are famous? What type of IP? Trademark? Without their name and image in combination, is a voice/likeness actually defensible? Training a computer to have any a

I've got a Flipper, LimeSDR (non-mini), some old-school ham equipment, a cheapo $10 RTL-SDR receiver, a few cheap HTs, some RFID tools, etc. Each has their use. The Flipper is nice for quick and lightweight checking of things. LimeSDR

Insurance rates were actually the deciding factor for me not buying a Tesla 3 a few years ago (before the carriers seemed to figure out coverage and risk for them a bit better). The insurance was going to be stupidly high, making the TCO wi
