This is nice follow-on work to what was done by George Church and team in 2012: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2012/08/15/scien... http://wyss.harvard.edu/viewpressrelea

I was curious too, but it looks like the USPS reimbursement rates [1] for rural personal vehicles are decent, and are no doubt geared toward gas cars that have much higher operating and maintenance costs. Depending on how far a mail carrier

Thanks for posting BLS numbers. For all of the comments mentioning aspirational high salaries, the BLS numbers give a much more accurate view, albeit with a minor time delay.

In general this doesn't seem like huge surprise. Blood is reasonably homogeneous, but noise becomes an issue when you're looking for anything present in low concentration (signal close to the noise floor) or when small differences

This is a great idea, but I'm immediately concerned about giving my financial account information to any sort of free service. What is your business model? Why not charge a one-time $10 fee up front to build trust, and revenue?

Berlin seems like an amazing value for a capital city with rich culture. Here in Boston I'm paying 3700 euros for (poorly maintained) 90 sqm, of course split with five people. Maybe it is time to consider a stint in Berlin. Are there a

Just a comment on my experience: the last time one of these threads appeared (after reading several prior), I followed tptacek's advice and shut down the few remaining Linode instances I had. Linode handled it professionally: I removed

It wasn't hard for me to register my LLC for a DUNS number, and I don't recall any sort of onerous verification process, but I also used the free signup for gov't contractors[1]. It still strikes me as extremely strange that

While part of the flavor of ketchup can be attributed to other ingredients and their preparation, it's possible some of the flavor may be attributable to the tomatoes they use, at least for Heinz ketchup: Heinz has their own cultivar o

The wrapper makes the tool. It may not be perfect, and it would be nice to have more of a "random but stochastically representative degradation" option, but it's the tool I know and it works well. Can you suggest a better one

I've gone so far as to create a separate autossh user with separate key, with no shell access (by setting the user's shell to /bin/false). It still permits tunneling (call ssh with -N), but does not allow shell sessions.

A challenge I've had with Autossh (and OpenSSH for that matter) is in getting the listen port during remote (reverse) tunnels when it is dynamically assigned via '-R 0:localhost:$SOMEPORT' where $SOMEPORT is on the machine or

The risk is the boiler remaining off when you are not around; that's the condition where massive property damage would occur (pipes freezing). If you're present, presumably you would notice a failed-safe boiler running often and a

Sure, at least for traditional two-wire thermostats that turn on when the circuit is closed: connect them in parallel. The Nest is so obviously a product designed in warm California—not anywhere that sees truly hard winter. If it were desig

It looks like this runs in the 900MHz ISM (US) band, so we'll all need new hardware. The longer range is nice. Interference from other 900MHz transmitters (cordless house phones, baby monitors, etc.) may not be. It seems everything old

I have gigabit fiber at my house in Rochester for $100/month via the new upstart ISP, Greenlight (actually their lower 500Mbps tier for $75/mo). They're expanding slowly, but they are expanding.

This is great, thank you! I've had many boards made by OSH Park, but I didn't know about a comparable stencil shop!

Thanks for the quick answers. It sounds like you're on track to do well. I wish you success. 1. Feel free to get in touch if you need help with an auto cost-estimator. 2. Amazing!

This is great, and the site is beautiful! I'll probably use it in the future for crafty/technical projects. A few questions: 1. I understand the cost is probably based on many factors, like bounding box size, laser time, and mater

Infrared is a wide band though, 0.7µm-1mm. It looks like LIDAR products typically operate in the near-infrared, with two products I picked at random operating at 905nm[1] and 850nm[2]. They'd want to pick bands that are invisible to hu

I've designed a dozen or so boards using KiCAD, some in commercial production. You definitely have to get into its way of thinking, but once you do KiCAD works very well (as long as you only need design-rule checking and not more compl
