From the datasheet linked there, it looks like the minimum recommended spacing to ensure electrical isolation between adjacent conductors is 15 mil (0.4mm). In an example I found here [1], the pitch between BGA pins is 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm, wit

First one since 2019! But it’s back on the normal monthly schedule for the 2022 Spring-Fall season.

Is this an attempt at humor? If so, it fell flat for me. Tech and finance workers are some of the most highly-compensated people in the world today. Comparing them to Roman slaves, who were considered property, had no freedom of movement, a

I think this is my biggest problem with how Google now works. It's always been disappointing when you didn't find what you were looking for. But you used to be able to examine the results and see how your search terms might not ha

Mindboggling that this could happen in the first place, and more so that it's still not fixed.

If housing becomes prohibitively expensive to people in need just because we hold landlords accountable for abusive actions, maybe we should consider a different way to allocate housing resources.

Also MacOS and Windows have “App Stores” that you certainly don’t need to be logged into.

For one, it requires the inmates to have been convicted of a crime. (Not that I consider that to be just either, for the record.) What the article describes is likely a violation of the US constitution in at least some of the cases.

When you say “graduate position” do you mean a position meant for a college graduate, or a position in a Masters or PhD program at a university?

This is also really common in New England in the US. I have no idea why, though.

Note that I said dubious legality. I was just qualifying my earlier statement that it was legally fine. Hopefully we’ll get a legal ruling on this sooner rather than later.

I think it’s a little misguided to praise the officer for allowing them to film. It would be illegal for him to prevent them from filming him performing his duties in a public place. I also find it slightly ridiculous for you to characteriz

Interesting, but I wonder what the additional cost to the median income taxpayer would be. Is there a straightforward way to figure this out?

Of note here: Wikipedia has a specific policy prohibiting this sort of experimentation. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:NOTLAB

Nobody is telling you you shouldn’t archive them. The publishers decided they weren’t comfortable selling them to be shown to children. I’m personally glad that you’ve helped preserve these once-beloved cultural artifacts. However, I’d hope

I suppose you consider all 87 of the members of that subreddit to be the " real tech leaders", then?

I think the difference is that in this context it’s at least as much about what the other players are doing as the way the game actually works. Learning how to operate within the new rules is still just part of the game. Learning how to cou

I think your analysis is overly critical. The stated purpose of Wikipedia's no-OR policy is not to "reach or imply a conclusion not stated by the sources". The only novel conclusion being drawn here is that one can conceive o

This is pure whataboutism. The parent comment said nothing about the US to even imply there isn’t also a problem there.

If you're saying that moles/m^3 of CO2 might be constant while pmm of CO2 is increasing, that implies that atmospheric pressure at sea level is dropping. And it isn't.

For context, the predecessor of SpaceShipTwo reached an altitude of over 100km in June 2004, becoming the first commercial venture to put a person in space [1]. A few months after that, Virgin got involved and it seemed like commercial pass

There are other attempts at disposal of dead satellites that don’t rely on a long-shot like the BFR [1]. Besides, maneuvering a big heavy spacecraft like that to match orbits with a bunch of little satellites would be tremendously wasteful

It seems YouTube's statement here is really disingenuous. When they say "We are working with MITOpenCourseWare and Blender Foundation to get their videos back online." they mean that they are holding these non-profit organiza
