Hyperloop is definitely vacuous..

So what I'm not clear on, and I wish people would provide some real example would be this issue of how businesses that currently employ people working at minimum wage actually are affected -- do they pass on the cost increase to their

Actually maybe it didn't come across clearly, but I was saying it would be ideal if the article actually gave some kind of useful information such as the fake example that I provided. You are actually asking me the exact question I

Yea these articles with zero evidence are basically pointless. The unemployment rate being low in most places that are desirable to live such as Seattle generally are short term problems. So give it a couple of years and there will be enoug

was totally thinking the same thing... 100% whatever they release unless it cures cancer and does AR and VR and uses displays that are like 1 million PPI, I think people are gonna be disappointed.. they are doing themselves a huge disservic

TLDR: they precisely timed when to cut the power to the main chip that does the Wacom pen tablet processing following requesting a block of bytes from the USB descriptors field, which results in the CPU failing to execute some function that

It's a little odd saying that Microsoft is betting its future on reprogramable chips.. From reading the article they are just simply now using FPGAs where previously they (along with many other companies) were not. It would be like say

I know, total clickbait for engineers and nerds.. A similar one would be like, "Woz has THIS to say about new Star Wars movie..." omg, gotta click that...

Ha thanks--quite a nice set of compliments there! Yea, you figured me out, I'm an EE who grew up as a wannabe hacker.. :-)

TLDR: The main finding is: They built a simulation and super cold 2D experimental setup that verified that the "Hubbard" superconducting model is validated to a high degree (for a certain temperature range), and that electrons sta

I kind of doubt they would use some process like this for the iPhone, they probably program it in to avoid ID collisions. Yea I'm also curious if there is some name for this scheme where it generates some random pattern, I haven't

Interviewing is a special skill. I would try practicing it with real people (if you haven't already), and to actually implement the algorithms you are struggling with in real-time with your friend that is "interviewing" you.

Yea they definitely just wanted the GovtOS from Apple. Basically would allow them to hack somebody's phone without them knowing. Whereas requiring them to disassemble the phone it would be more prone to error and take more time to do.

Most likely it's a fuse type thing. It literally is a one time programmable fuse that is set by some subroutine. Basically you execute that function and bam you get back some key that says that it worked. You try to execute again and t

The basic issue with using an external memory is that you simply become a man in the middle and control what is happening the whole way. There is not some sort of magic "more low level way" available on flash ICs.. The flash devic

So the secure enclave must have an embedded flash inside the processor that includes the pin code attempt counter -- meaning that writing to the external flash would not happen at all right?

Awesome project man. I do EE HW design for a living and this I can attest is a hard project. I have a bladeRF and use it regularly. One thing I try to instill in the people that work on my team is that the best attribute you can have and tr

I worked in China for an American company and know others who have done it. I was based in Shanghai. In that case it was pretty cool. Generally people from US people are very curious about. I have seen a bit of racism toward people from Ind

Hi Alan, do you think privacy on the web should be guaranteed by design or malleable such that in special cases the government can look up your google searches and see if you follow terrorists on twitter? When I say guaranteed by design, I

Guaranteed this is insider trading if its a small time investor.. I've traded plenty of options, and no small time guy would buy more than $135k at 160 strike when closing price was 131 and the price of the stock for the past few month

It's a cool thing this guy did.. It would be interesting to see how small the files are that are generated in this process.. Just low pass filtering the video like somebody else suggested would probably achieve a similarly lossy image.

There are a lot of cities in the US where thefts are being treated by cops as a "meh sorry just call your insurance company.." So many police depts have been trying to do something to turn that mentality around since people are pr

I've read in the past stories about cops getting tips from people that their stolen stuff is on Craigslist. At the time I thought it's cool they are catching people but I guess if they rely upon the thinking of a civilian who just

The problem intel had with the iPhone has very little to do with the power issue.. Intel is not an idiot.. If they sell a 1Ghz processor to apple for $20 (which is the type of pricing they would be targeting for the iPhone), then they know

What would be ideal is if there were like "real reviewers" that are verified and their review carried more weight.. Which obviously sucks for the seller if they give a bad review.. Maybe there could be a mitigation system where th

I know people that sell stuff on Amazon and they don't use fake reviews but if a competitor does use fake reviews it makes it hard not to want to make fake reviews also.. It's a vicious cycle.. Plus they get negative reviews out o

Yea I've spent tons of time in China, and worked with a number of these ODM type companies and smaller factories, and the kinds of things they can get done in short times for small amounts of money is pretty amazing.. Basically why its

I believe there is one wave caused by each leading and trailing edge of the plane's structure.. so there are 5 waves, 1) nose of plane, 2) leading edge of wing, 3) trailing edge of wing, 4) leading edge of vert stabilizer, 5) trailing

And, at the end of the day, that "epic server" I am talking about would likely have some big limitations of working with big amounts of data. It seems like it would be more suited to a kind of "grab some small amount of data
