at what point do you start baking barium titanate into the PCB itself?

I thought that it was patent related, other than adding slightly more PHY complexity

While benzene vapors are bad, we probably shouldn't tolerate very much benzene being in things that are rubbed onto the skin intentionally. Trace amounts as you say might not reall…

It could go into the information directly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landauer%27s_principle

With sufficiently defined lease contracts it should be possible to price out the used machine risk from a new machine... Hmm

Minor nitpick but they are both considered Ethernet. The 4 pair copper one is 10GBASE-T.

Seems like a missed opportunity to try adding a capacitor dead-bug style onto the board to see if it cleans it up.

Shouldn't you be giving people their tokens back when you used their tokens to test on their environment?

This is open source. You're thinking of trusted execution, audits, licenses with disclosure requirements, or signed affidavits which is a totally different thing than open source. …

HN's autocorrect seems to cause more trouble than it's worth.

Sinc interpolation is somewhat resource-intensive / latency inducing which is why it's not used as frequently in realtime audio.

I see telecoms make loops all the time both indoors and outside. The loops should be strapped together and strapped down though.

Bends ideally need pull boxes, but given the lack of pull boxes, you might be able to use fish tape where where fish rods / glow rods don't work, if you cannot get a pullstring / p…

If it's any consolation, you can have fiber without jackets as long as they are cable-managed very carefully.

The failure rate of an individual layer of Swiss cheese should be bounded under most circumstances but not all. So you should probably have more layers when hazards cannot be elimi…

To me the problem with drag and drop is not only that it has to be a single continuous motion, but that nothing else interrupts you at an inconvenient time while you are doing it. …

probably something like a stirling engine + working fluid going down tubes in the plate, it becomes worth it to develop silicon-on-insulator GPUs and other weird technologies that …

legal citogenesis?

It seems a little unintuitive to me, might be better as a click and drag kind of puzzle

The chip itself supports using a TCXO instead of a regular crystal

If it's a PON then it's not Ethernet media. You would then be looking for an ONT SFP but those are far from ordinary SFPs. They are not just dumb devices, there is a lot going on i…

Metallized windows would be nice at least

Honest question, does it aerosolize pathogens that cause food-borne illness?

No, the Quarks did not have the f00f bug, that would have been funny though.

A parallelogram is just a rectangle with extra steps. Maybe they could have mentioned what those steps are but it seems fairly straightforward
