Blue Origin has not sent a rocket to mars in the sense that SpaceX wishes to send Starships to mars. They have sent a probe. SpaceX has launched probes to far further celestial bod…

They have copied the external look of the rockets (which is, for obvious reasons, not protected by ITAR), but to my knowledge no one, China or otherwise, has managed to match the i…

These are quite often used in defense and space applications where the flexibility of the DSP allows for custom waveform implementations that would otherwise require incredible CPU…

There is hope for us lowly humans!

This is a difficult question to prescribe an answer for that works for everyone, but the best I personally can think of is "practice". To make that more actionable... My approach i…

There are a few factors that make this possible: 1. As others have pointed out, the link budget (how much energy loss a particular radio link can handle before it is broken) for D2…

Curious to know what app you are using to get boundaries and layers, OnX?

I think “low speed” is quite a relative term here. PCIe serdes lanes are for very high data rate communication (> 1gbps per lane). This is the realm of the Syzygy XCVR standard. Th…

With many of these types of standards (FMC and Syzygy) it becomes helpful to include some form of memory on the peripheral cards. With Syzygy it is required in order to store some …

Hadn’t expected to see this here! I helped put this standard together while working at Opal Kelly. I think we had some nifty ideas in there (using an analog voltage for peripheral …

If you're interested in the cantenna radar you might also find Henrik Forsten's radar interesting: https://hforsten.com/6-ghz-frequency-modulated-radar.html . It uses largely the s…

I owned the first CAT phone with a FLiR thermal imaging sensor and this was by far my biggest gripe. The hardware felt like it was built to last a decade or longer, but the softwar…

Everything is fine, the S&P500 is nearly back to its all-time high again. (/s)

While they certainly have some nifty safety features, I don't feel as though they really take safety seriously when they have one of the worst completion rates for the Takata airba…

For a few years my only vehicle was an old, beat up Volvo station wagon. The door locks were damaged and would only lock ~50% of the time. Since I parked the car on the street I wo…

>Quantum computing advances are presumably not an industrial design challenge... Perhaps not, but getting laypeople to care enough about quantum computing to fund its development c…

I believe most of the criticism stems from the fairly eurocentric/whitewashed view of history portrayed by the book. (note: I have not read the book myself, but I've heard the crit…

While the military arms at the time were muskets and bayonets, that was not the only technology available. Many colonial troops had rifles of their own that they used. These rifles…

The vast majority of retailers on gundeals sold accessories which is legal for anyone to do. Those that did sell guns were federally licensed retailers, gundeals did not (to my kno…

Aside from maybe your first point, what do any of those points have to do with "troubles with Elon Musk"? After the second point I'm not even sure what they could have to do with S…

That's not entirely true. There are no CCS DC fast chargers (the type the bolt uses) in much of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and North/South Dakota. You might be able to drive from Sea…
