While I believe in the GNU definition of free software, how are we to maintain a community that's truly open-source when the parties you speak of don't believe in free software themselves? Are we really to give them the best our w

Lets ignore the nomenclature for a minute. Russians used American social media to manipulate public opinion to help implement a Russian sympathizing Administration. Ignore the verbiage. Start with that.

We're not talking about a stolen candy bar. Slap the perps wrist and they get the point. Executives will make a dishonest decision knowing the consequences. Then they'll make $100m off the decision, get fined $20m by Uncle Sam, ge

It's honestly about time. I've been sounding the alarm bells about ITAR, DFARS, EAR compliance for a while now! None of the software vendors I've talked to seem to understand that it is AGAINST THE LAW to upload customer supp

It can't be anonymous. That's where this problem lies. If you're sending cops with guns to someone's house at 3am you should be required to prove your identity.

You can't do this in a lot of languages. Python comes to mind too.

I guess so. It would throw both business models a lifeline and help to stabilize the supply/demand problem ( right before automation creates a whole new supply/demand problem ).

I think the savings from reduced liability and simplified corporate structure would offset the costs. Let's face it, Uber doesn't make money as it is and neither do Uber drivers once you factor in all the expenses. But if you can

This is why, instead of essentially promoting the next wave of "too-big-to-fail" monopolies, we should be trying to franchise things like this. I had the idea a while back when someone I knew was getting the run around by Uber. If

Partially true, but you're measuring the cells wrong. Alkaline batteries typically start around 1.5v and are advertised to be around 1.5v. A fully charged NiMH cell will be advertised at 1.2v but at peak charge will actually be around

Also, it's important to note that batteries don't generate power. They store power. Literally. You pump electrons into them and they hold onto them internally until they can be released again. Think of it as a water balloon fo

Seriously! I'm an old time R/C enthusiast who romps frequently and still buys a toy here and there. I got out of R/C for a little bit so the last pack I bought was a 4,200mah 7.4 volt LiPo from a tiny mom+pop manufacturer. Th

Oh no, I absolutely agree that Americans could build good tanks. But good and better are subjective terms. Best-in-class is something that can be quantified. And quantifiably Germany had, in a one-on-one comparison, the best performing

Yup. Air superiority changed naval warfare forever. It was the radar technology given to the American's by the British that closed the blindspot in the center of the Atlantic which the Germans used to hide U-Boats. Once radar was able

It's important to note that most of the advanced technology that Germany gets credit for in WWII was designed, built and destroyed all in a matter of a decade or two. The Bismarck is another good example. It was the largest, heaviest

Right, but it was my understanding that the lithium batteries have heaters built into them to prevent them from ever reaching a low temperature threshold. You won't have a button to enable/disable this feature and you probably won
