I could explain the holes in this presentation, but I'm banned... so... go fuckyourselves. just keep in mind there is a difference b/t the sampling theorem and its implementation i…

Thanks for clearing up some of my blurrier points :) I should not have included "always" in that statement about matching the density of silicon. That breaks my own rule about abso…

Speaking as an embedded developer, I see a number of other embedded devs hobbying around with FPGAs. However, I very rarely see convincing use cases for FGPAs. This article seems t…

I agree with you totally. Google glass, Chromebook, etc are all just vanity products... not even the vanity of the users, but of google. The one exception I would have to your stat…

because all these dipwads who think you can just snorffle through a big list o words and apply it to a map are filling the world with their bullshit.

This isn't v1.0. Steve Mann has been researching these things for over 20 years now (Sorry google). This is approximately version 5.0. Everything that can be thought of or done in …

I agree. I think, like cell phones, they will add more value in specific occupations, like package deliveries/warehouses, than everyday life. Once enough niche apps are developed a…

The most cringe-worthy part of the article is that the author begins by describing the person who eventually taunts her as one of her "best friends" at Stanford. Best friend, my as…

heh heh. If you poke around my comments, you'll find my story where I describe how an NYC reporter egged me on and put words in my mouth to sex up a project I'd done. They don't ha…

I am only small time compared to all of these folks. However, I will share my brief story: I invented something somewhat nifty. It got lots of media attention. When the NYT wrote a…

Legal issues put completely to the side for a minute: You don't enhance your _defense_ by _giving your enemies free access to the weapons_ you develop. The Linux kernel is a result…

You're onto something. Africa is often typed as one monoculture. It is a continent with an insanely diverse set of cultures and income levels. Americans treat "Asia" almost as igno…

Wow, that's fascinating. I'm completely surprised and impressed that you're going to revamp the home page. It's a bold, original and meaningful step. I'm sure you understand the de…

Also, my six-pack of Coors didn't come with instructions for homebrewing and my Windows installation CD didn't come with Linux installation instructions. It's almost as if for-prof…

it depends what base you are using. to me 50->1000 is 6 orders of magnitude. To those used to base 10, it's 3. From your words, I guess you're in base 40.

No, the author is upset about "email with a 2 hour delivery lag." Try getting away with that lag at your job. There is no mention of "instantaneous" time scales in TFA.

You guys are exactly right. This method is bullshit snake oil for weeaboos as it involves counting up to the product of every single product, which is tedious and error-prone. It i…

They don't just reflect it, they reflect it, distort it and magnify it. Video games produce versions of the violence in society which are unrealistic, in which everyone can get up …

I can tell you now that I've been out of grad school for around a year or so: Many companies are not product-focused. The goal of producing a good product using sensible techniques…
