Yes, I strongly prefer waterfall. Back in the good old days we had a biz. quarter to deliver a set of features. This allowed time for a spec., thinking about how it would all work,…

100% this. I also find it extremely annoying to have to give daily status updates on highly complex, time consuming problem. It shows a complete lack of understanding of the work b…

Just ordered "Show Stopper" now and started reading it, looks like a great read so far.

Did anyone see any mention of the networking tech. their using in each light, e.g. 4G or something else?

Do you have any more details on the re-programming that would be occurring on non SLC flash cells, even if mounted in read only mode? This is something I was always concerned about…

Hi @bhhaskin, what practical advantages do you see to running IPv6 at home? I think my ISP (Xfinity) provides it, but have not tried enabling it yet.

Hi HN-ers. I just finished the audio book version of "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup". Can anyone recommend any other good, tech related audio books?

Thanks for the response. Do you have any recommendations for tax software, or do you have your accountant handle tax payments? I'm a sole proprietor now but am going to upgrade to …

For people doing contract work in the USA who are working on a corp to corp basis, how are you calculating how many $$$ per month to put away for taxes for next tax season, and wha…

Thanks for posting, looks quite interesting.

Quite good performance from that antenna for it's size and cost yes. I wonder what tools they used to design it?

+1, those guides are excellent!

Thanks @vibrolax, that does look ideal. I was going to muck around and design the circuit myself (hopefully based off a solid reference design), but the COTS setup you listed above…

Thank you sir! I'll do some part searching this week.

Does anyone know what kind of circuit would be able to convert 12VDC (e.g. from a small lead acid gel. cell battery) to 20VDC (which my Lenovo E470's DC charging voltage)? The E470…

I used one of their Cortex M3 parts on a project a while ago that needed a large number of SPI ports to drive strings of LEDs. Was very easy to get the initial POC working, and the…

What a cool and useful sounding project! Does LORA handle any of the meshing aspect, or do you have to manage that at the application level? Also what kind of node to node range ar…

Musk has painted himself into a corner. He is probably aware that skipping the hard tool test phase was a bad idea, but had no choice, they would've run out of money adding another…

Anyone have any info on how the Strobe Lidar(s) compare to Velodyne systems?

Is there any less expensive way to get the original Thinkpad style keyboard on a more modern motherboard? I really like this retro machine they're releasing but it's just too costl…

I agree with this comment. OTOH it's very hard to have and enforce discipline in commercial SW development in the US anyway. Managers just want solutions hacked out as quick as pos…

OK going to msg. you privately with some more details.

Looks pretty good. However, how are you going to differentiate your offering from other more established players out there? (e.g. ThingWorkx, AWS IoT etc.)? Also usually these type…

I find tools not so important, as working conditions. Most important are quiet conditions, minimal interruptions & meetings and confidence management know what they are doing.

Need to view that equity as icing on the cake, that's all. Highly likely to lead to a meaningful cashout, unless you were a founder.
