I think the vast majority of Californians couldn't care less about Gavin, it's just that we didn't want the crazy right-wing talk-radio host to take over.

I had the same experience at the apple store a few years ago, where they asked me for my password. They insisted they needed it to run "hardware checks." I think I ended up just wiping it before giving it to them. I wasn't ha

Velodyne is having major production issues. Our latest order with them has been pushed back months, and our last new order was quoted at 30-40 weeks. They keep citing yield issues. I'm hoping this opens up the market for reasonably-pri

Not incorrect, although the revamped system has become pretty infamous for going down, leading lines to ring busy and overworked dispatchers to revert to pen and paper. The outages have been responsible for several deaths. http:/&#x2F

Maybe someone can explain how this works to me: In the white paper ( http://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/BOFs/3d-printing/wd-apple-ipp3d-2... ) section 5, it lists a bunch of attributes ("material-type",

Huh? They release new software/firmware every few weeks. Many people don't bother upgrading, so they don't see any improvements.

Try updating your firmware and desktop software. New versions were released today which should significantly improve print quality.

You trust software written in the US, Europe and Australia? Do we read the same HackerNews?

From what I was told, lead-free solder has a large amount of flux in it to make it half-way usable. Unless you're licking your fingers after soldering with leaded solder, you may be doing more damage to your lungs with the lead-free st

Sorry if I'm missing it, but is there any additional info/source on their stationary implementation? I'd love to implement a smaller, cheaper version with one of Telit's embedded chips.

Even the link to the Windows version drops you in a folder on some random French server[1]. This looks like an exe that some random person built over a year ago. They should consider dropping all mentions of cross-platform compatibility u

You know what it would be nice for KiCad to release? Binaries. I've gotten into several discussions with KiCad users, but it always comes down to me saying "This is marketed as cross-platform, how do I install it on Mac OS?"

Very pretty. I built a (less pretty) digital version a few years ago[0], based on some really neat projects by this guy[1] [0]: http://kapamaki.net/muon-detector/ [1]: http://www.hardhack.org.au/

while losing all sight of the road for a minute. You could stop for a second, I guess. Instead of a sturdy walkie-talkie Why don't you just buy a walkie-talkie? They're cheaper, they just don't interface with your phone.

I guess the main difference is that walkie-talkies don't connect to your phone, or share text or GPS data. They also don't mesh network (automatically).

It's 2 meter VHF, very low bandwidth. Useful for GPS and text messages only. An Email bridge might be pretty cool, but I'm not sure of the exact speed.

As I understand it (I am in the outer gotenna circle) it will do some sort of store and forward mesh network-y thing.

I'm a little confused about the Final schematic. There are unlabeled wires floating around, and even after reading the whole document I'm confused as to where exactly the EQ modules fit into the design. Can anyone shed some light

I had a Sidekick B&W in high school, and later a Sidekick Color, and people would ask me about it every single day. I remember having long AIM conversations under my desk in class. I later upgraded to a Sidekick 2, which was nice but ha

Taking a bike on the subway is much harder, and usually seen as rude, because our cars are much smaller. Thankfully, our bridges have bike dedicated bike lanes, so taking them on the subway is not necessary. I was astounded when I visited S

Cars don't have eight rotor blades slapping the air, and we've gotten pretty good at enclosing all the loud bits (on expensive cars). Noise would certainly be a problem for gas-powered drones.

This is good advice, but it's never worked for me. I've never hailed a cab in which they didn't have the doors locked until you tell them where you want to go. I even had one cab speed off while I was still holding the door h

Many of the newer NYC trains, I am told, are more complicated - an emergency lever pull (someone caught in the doors) should hard-brake the train. If it's travelled more than 1000 feet, it is assumed the train is already in the tunnel,
