> the founders and Eric Schmidt Still have huge influence as demonstrated by them stepping in to lead parts of the AI push. Ezra Klein actually has an interesting perspective that …

The issue is that their corporate culture does not support it. Arduino will be too small to matter. This is the same issue as with Coral, the Google TPU. They are not refreshed as …

This is a recipe for disaster. Arduino is great for education/tinkering. Qualcomm won't sell you anything even if you are ready to commit to buying 1000s. I tried to source some Qu…

PCB design is a complex process with many factors to consider, such as routing and placement for mechanical, EMI, and thermal performance. As a hobbyist, I was initially drawn to t…

My man, I hope you're not American because the world has a laundry list of complaints against America. People care about different things to different degrees. You compromise on wh…

Are you responsible for everything your Government does ? I would hope not. People need to be treated individually. I thought that was the entire point of liberal democracy.

Its two different products. Google pay especially in India is a mobile wallet with coupons and rewards. Ironically, the card payment app is now called Google Wallet.

I definitely work longer but the intensity is much lower. Its a voluntary choice to work less intensely so I can handle childcare or lunch or take a nap. The total time spent is pr…

This happens even outside Defense in all specialized industry. I was once asked if I could reverse engineer a part for a 30 year newspaper stacking machine in a printing press. Ver…

I've always felt Apple should let power users run MacOS on the iPad, it takes care of all the things the article speaks of. They can bury it by using iTunes or something to flash t…

So, let me plug my favorite tea place, Sancha Tea Botique. I loved them when I was still in India.

This is just pure xenophobic drivel. There are people of different levels of talent in a large population set. Your characterization speaks more to your attitude than the millions …

Agreed, I was speaking more to the general trend. The sharp fall off is probably some combination of reaction to the executive order and the pandemic itself making travel impossibl…

I mean it makes sense to me. I chose to work in Ireland in tech rather than America. Yes I took a 20% paycut after adjusting for COL but as an Indian, it's a much nicer country. Th…

I don't think you even need a MacBook Air. I've always used Linux for development. If you're not tied to MacOS, get a Thinkpad with Ryzen + Radeon. It will run better on Linux. If …

This is so cool. This is the one company I was really trying to get into as an electronics engineer. Must be fucking fantastic for everybody who worked on it.

I always had great respect for aerospace and thought they'd put safety above all else but seeing all this, Boeing seems like a fucking travesty.

How I wish these cheap 4G SoC kits could be sourced easily like the ESP8266 or the Raspberry Pi.

Thanks for the book suggestion, I'll order one and start on it. One of the lessons I learned this year is not to bite off more than I can chew, so next year I want to pick one book…

I'm an EE. I work on embedded systems and FPGAs autodidactically and have also mostly worked alone. I've since worked in software companies and now am back to an embedded role. I'v…

In my experience, most people who ask you to teach them don't want to learn as much as move on from this. It is frustrating, I no longer teach people. I take it seriously and it ta…

Grokking is not enough, go through the details. Spent weeks debugging a silent memory corruption on an 8-bit processor due to the incorrect usage of strtok in an SCPI parser.

I went with Outlook 365. I've been using it for the last 2 years at my office and really like the rules options. It's been really pleasant and the Office web compatibility is nice.…
