    First, thank you for creating this project. When I was a young high school student in China, I tried all different kind of tools to evade internet censorship, including Freenet (al…

    I'm not really against your point but I just quickly checked (and it agrees with my personal observation), iPhone have been the very most popular phone brand in China for many year…

    Yes, but even for people eligible for EB1A (it usually has a higher bar in practice, EB2/NIW is easier but way worse backlog), filing a (or according to some lesser stringent inter…

    In that case some technical aspects needs rework... Currently O1 visa being a nonimmigrant visa have no path to PR/citizenship (unlike H1Bs) and need annual renewal. This make it u…

    If you are okay with less smart smart watches, and okay with no hackability, Garmin should have a few with black and white display and >1 week battery life (even indefinite with su…

    I just searched and it appears that contrary to what I thought, it is possible to individually acquire Windows 11 Enterprise (IoT or non-IoT) LTSC licenses from some redistributors…

    Chinese have developed a significant amount of sophisticated tools countering internet censorship. V2ray as far as I recall is the state-of-the-art. To use them, one need to first …

    I guess they are doing direct modulated IMDD for each link so the DSP burden is not related to the coherence of diodes? Also indeed very short reach in the article.

    I think the most fundamental reason is that there is no efficient enough nonlinearity at optical frequencies. So two beams(or frequencies in some implementation) tends not to affec…

    Not an expert in communications. Would the SerDes be the new bottleneck in the approach? I imagine there is a reason for serial interfaces dominating over the parallel ones, maybe …

    In most but the very richest physics research groups there are no such thing called technicians. Except for shared equipment in centralized managed facilities like the nanofabs, ev…

    We use Compugraphics in UK at work for DUV masks (fused quartz 6inch) , base price for 700nm CD is much better than what the sibling comment predicts (sorry but I can't disclose).

    Tried with the HP Prime and it gave the precise 1 for the test. One need to put it in the CAS mode and use the exact form of 10^100 instead of 1E100. You shall get the right answer…

    A reason for that is the more and more hostile attitude towards Chinese working in the US and contributing to the US economy. The unfavorable birth place cap for EB1/EB2 green card…
