I have been a runner for just about my whole life (ran track in HS) is started listening to music when the small mp3 players first came out and I noticed that it seemed to interfere with my "runners high" a little bit. I know this

Another option to consider is something like Betterment.com or Wealthfront. These are automated investment services and allow you to tune your investments based on your goals. I use one of them and it has worked out well for me.

I agree, the devkit boards are very reasonable now days. I think the part that should be in the cloud is the SDK's. The synthesis is the most computationally expensive part and you could cut compile times down by an order of magnitud

I agree completely, this was an extremely important election with a lot of future implications and it, and really all elections, should be meticulously audited. I think there is a lot of pressure to come up with a quick result when the emph

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there is a way to use block chain technology to do it. You could keep the voters identity secret but still insure they vote only once.

I was wondering the same thing. If the data on the flash ram chip is not encrypted then worse case you just de-solder it and connect it to another computer and dump the data, I think I have seen that demonstrated someplace before. But I gue

I was wondering when we would finally see this, when I first saw the numbers a couple of weeks ago what I saw was pretty obvious evidence. I think I an election of this magnitude it makes sense to have everything thoroughly audited.

Something like that would be great, something like a virus checker but a fact checker button, so it is quick and easy for people to know if what they are reading is true or not. A lso, it would be great if TV network News shows had to displ

Good point. But I know a lot of people who feel very exasperated and frustrated in not knowing who to trust. I think for democracy to work, we have to figure out a way to provide people with some level of confidence in some sort of informat

In my view, we need to go farther than just fixing Facebook in this regard, although that would be a great start. We have “truth in labeling laws” and I think we should also have “labeling of truth laws”. What I mean by this is that we rest

IMO, as you age, you become more self actualized and do not need the validation of peers, acceptance of others becomes less important and you find that you have more confidence to be independent and start to enjoy solitude more. At least th

Maybe California, Oregon and Washington could split off as an independent country. I would have a large enough economy population and other things needed to be viable. If it is put to a vote via initiative it is not out of the realm of poss

They mention a good counter measure is to install lots of Firewalls, I agree with that. Oh, BTW, Nokia happens to have them available for purchase... I don't want to seem too cynical here but... sounds a little like maybe the idea is t

One thing that I did not see mentioned in the thread or in the article was the human side of things, we don't want to lose site of the fact that we are talking about human beings who need to get a living wage. I am not saying economic

We see these types of postings here from time to time and it always brings to mind the famous quote from Edmund Hillary when asked why he climbed Mt. Everest. If one wants to go to 39,000 feet you can get on a commercial airliner and do so

The cost of delivering the last "100Meters" is significantly less if you can do so with mm-wave technology than with fiber. Hence more profit. Hopefully if it works well, more carriers will use it which will make it more lucrative

When Verizon talks about "wireless fiber" they are talking about fiber to the corner or fiber to the curb and then using mm-wave the last "100 Meters" so to speak. FiOS has been tremendously successful but one of the mor

Yes, not saying anything is the key for sure. In my case a good outcome was just having my sister not hate me. So, you are right, it worked in that case. But it was hard. I probably have more to learn.

I love the sentiment that the author was trying to convey. The example that was provided was beautiful. It is really important to realize that usually it does not work out as beautifully as was presented in this particular example. My exper

That is one way you can also passively tap a fiber without breaking it, I am not sure if it could be done deep undersea, I suppose it is possible with the right set up. Basically how it works is you have to open up all the cladding and get

Yes, if they are thinking about deploying vertically to a LEO satellite then perhaps LoS is not an issue unless you are indoors. But if you want to require the user install an antenna or receiver outdoors then it can work, but again, the at

Good question, you can see a light flash on and off but to encode large amounts of information onto a channel is determined by the signal to noise ratio per Shannon's law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%E2%80

Yes, the higher you go in the frequency the more it is like light. But even at mm-wave such as say for example 28Ghz you still have penetration through walls, but the loss is very high, for 28Ghz it is about 19db for a according to IWPC for

Yes, by the square, this is HN I cannot speak so loosely:) For Multiple access RF systems yes, but got point to point systems, that is line of sight, noise is not an issue, free space loss, also impairments from fog, trees and other things
