I recently did the math on this myself, I just sold my Condo and right now I am renting while looking for a house. I have all cash so I can ignore interest rates which makes it easier, I also have a pretty good wealth manager so I have a pr

We left some evidence of our existence on the moon so the next civilization will be able to find that even millions of years from now, perhaps.

What did they do when it was cloudy at night ? I get it the polarizer crystal lets you see the sun during cloudy weather, but you won't see any stars that way, maybe a full moon if the clouds are thin enough. Just wondering...

I work for a large wireless company and I am a volunteer for the new device employee testing program (you get new phones and try them out before they go to market and give feedback, fun... sometimes). I was very pleasantly surprised with th

I remember when I was an under-grad back in 1978 and a friend of mine who was sort of a tree-hugging, Birkenstock wearing hippie sort of guy (but always had nice weed) told me about this idea of global warming and I thought at the time he w

He was an amazing inspiration to me and I am sure many others. I raise a glass tonight to a very special human being.

I know it can seem a little silly but I know for me, when my Mom passed away I sort of struggled with deleting some voice mails from her. I know I could have transferred them to hard drive but in the end it seemed like the right thing to so

It might be theoretically possible, or legal, but it would be hugely controversial and would be in the courts for sure. I do not think the FCC could do it with a rule it would take an act of congress which seems pretty unlikely in the curre

That type of thing actually already happens, I work in the industry and I have seen it happen. A state run governmental fiber network was put in place and the government bodies prevented other carriers from placing fiber and forced the wire

That's right, but those rule prevent cities from making rules that prevent any use of the airwaves. Nationalizing a 5G broadband network means taking the rights of way away form the cities. That could not be don't without paying

They do not; not with out paying. That would be a taking. They have to pay to use the city rights of way just like carriers do. Just because the federal gov is doing it does not mean it is free. In China or other authoritarian governments t

For wireless carriers, the three highest opex costs are 1. Real estate (lease costs, no one owns their cell sites) 2. backhaul, which today means fiber 3. employees Nationalizing the 5G roll out will not help with any of these costs, the re

When I was a grad student back in the late 70's, I worked in the campus computer center where all the undergrads had to use Hollerith cards and only the grad students got to use CRT terminals. There was one card reading machine that wa

I always wondered why not have all delivery done at night? There is a lot less traffic generally between 10PM and 6AM for example, it seems like they could do a lot more deliveries and it would put less load on the highways and be safer an

My older sister took over the family farm, I tried to convince her to go into pot farming (legal in the state) she was not up for it but I think our grandpa would have approved, he was a boot legger back in the depression era to keep the fa

Hahaha. Wow, I grew up on a farm and I went to college and got an engineering degree to get away from it! I can't even imagine going the other direction. I still remember bucking hay, mowing the tansy, running the irrigation truck, tak

My interpretation is that like a lot of us she perhaps felt ambivalent, or conflicted between wanting to share a place you love with others and wanting to keep it to yourself.

I grew up on a farm about 100 miles outside of Seattle that started as a homestead that my great grandmother and great grandfather from Germany started and my family still operates. I moved to Seattle in 1978 after graduating with MSEE. So

Ligo/Virgo uses a number of extraordinary means to cancel out things like earthquakes or rumblings, local vibrations and so on. But I wonder if you had 1000's of mile of fiber in disparate parts of the world if it would be possibl

Just a fun little anecdote here, a lot of metro areas have prefixes with a lot of 1's and 2's because of the old rotary dial. Metro areas would get 221, 222, and so on because if you dial 9, it takes longer on a rotary dial and pe

FPGA's are the shit but the software is the key. To make them really fly we need some really brilliant software to configure them. Someone is going to disrupt this space soon and whoever does I think will make a unicorn. Just my guess.

There is a macro available for the Eagle PCB design software that converts BSDL to schematic and foot print. BSDL although originally for boundary scan has info about footprint but it is not a big deal since so few manufacturers make it av

Well, if all chip manufacturers made jtag bsdl files for their parts then no one would need this. But since few do, thanks, very cool innovation!
