To be fair, MTBF is not something you can measure in a reasonable time for these kinds of review sites. Far better for this kind of thing is niche-specific youtube channels. But in…

Landlines are backed by large -48V battery banks, the uptime on landline phone service is much higher than the power grid.

definitely. although one of the hallmarks in a good photographer is the ability to find the exotic in the mundane. but now i'm curious how many foreign photographers we're missing …

64dB SNR is pretty standard these days for MEMS – you will pay a lot more to get up in the 70s. Good studio mics will be in the 80dB+ range. Here's the highest performing one today…

what exactly is the endgame with a borderline illegal, obviously non-monetizable service like this? edit: my mistake - i see you're building a local client, not a remote cache. sti…

I'm not sure I agree on the safety aspect - if they only thing preventing unintentional peripheral access is verbosity, that's not really the kind of security that matters, is it?

Why is it this way though - it seems to me like you could create a type that just works like the C code struct Uart { u8 CR2, // etc. } Instantiate it as 'static with some macro th…

What is a "small-hoster issue"?

it goes beyond repairability though – look how much apple upcharges for SSD and RAM. The majority of their profit margin comes from overpriced DRAM and flash storage: RAM: - 16GB -…

I would bet money that the donor was obese. Ah, yes indeed, you failed to include the headline from the article: "Woman Becomes Obese After Fecal Transplant From Overweight Donor"

100% This is the next logical step for semiconductor companies like AD, TI, etc. AD doesn't tend to compete on cost, so high quality open source drivers become a key differentiator…

Could be pectin. or salicylates. or lots of things. How do you do with aspirin? Can you eat jam?

I love drinking ice water, but I stopped after I found that even when using RO-filtered water in a separate ice cube tray, I was getting getting off tastes in the ice from somethin…

sorry if this sounds dismissive, but I'm curious - how is this different than using google hangouts or facetime or zoom and doing screen sharing?

It's not though. We don't consider America to have a scarcity of food, even though there are people starving there. Food scarcity happens when a region cannot produce its own food.…

don't show this to anyone at amazon!

in that particular case, it boils down to how many you can fit on a pallet. if you get an extra row or column or both, you're now selling 550 bottles per pallet instead of 500.
