What stenographers capture is phonetic. These days a computer program translates that back into written language in real time. It uses knowledge of the language to pull this off. So it's a bit like autocorrect on you phone.

I assume BCBS is Blue Cross Blue Shield; which is one of the largest insurers. Can I ask how big is the city you live in (or near)? It seems like big cities have options, but small towns starve for medical help.

The public version of Google's build tool is Bazel (it's Blaze internally). It has some really impressive caching while maintaining correctness. The first build is slow, but subsequent builds are very fast. When you have a team

Partial check outs are standard because the entire code base is enormous. People only check out the parts they might be changing and the rest magically appears during the build as needed. There are sections of the code that are High Intell

Bose sells line array speakers that will happily work if placed behind a standard mic. They are using anti-feedback DSPs to cancel the audio loop this creates. They can be used in a speaker per performer setup. What is weird is that they

Product market fit is a real thing. I'm a typical low end table saw user. You can ignore me at your peril, but many people will have similar values. I just finished a flooring project that made use of the table saw. My low end $350

> what the manufacturers said You expect me to believe that? Really now. And the BOM is not the only cost, but +$50 on the BOM is probably +$100 retail. What will the manufactures try to extract is the better question? Answer: As muc

That $50 number seems incredibly optimistic. Just the rebuild cartridge is selling for $99 right now: https://www.sawstop.com/product/standard-brake-cartridge-tsb... And the saw frame has to be much stronger to handl

That may depend on what you're trying to do. If you are figuring out something tricky, then lots of quiet head down time is what you need. Every interruption hurts when you are concentrating. However, a lot of the time is just figuri

They also seem to have overlooked D3 levels. Colorado in particular, has much higher UV levels and people tend to have higher D3 levels.

My local ham group was doeing a "ragchew" on 2m as the eclipse was just starting (over us). It was the scratchiest net I've ever heard. That's only roughly 30mi at 147Mhz, but it made a big difference.

I don't think they consider how dazzling the lights can be. Some municipalities seem to be aware of this, but others aren't. I also find them dazzling and have to avert my eyes. It's hard to imagine that looking away is helpi

It retroactively adds liability to products that were already sold. That definitely feels heavy to me.

If you are providing parts to an authorized service center you also have to provide parts for third party service centers. I think if your product isn't designed to be serviced then you're safe. I had the same reaction, and had t

There's a problem in that the danger is in front but the exhaust noise goes out the back. I was once driving cross crunchy in a big truck with a trailer when I was startled by a loud motorcycle coming up beside me. He had been in dange

Shame relies on personal connections that they want to keep. People turning to drugs are already losing those connections at a rapid rate. Trying to shame them as they walk out the door isn't going to do anything. America already has

You might see if a destination medical establishment like the Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic could be more responsive. These kinds of places are setup so people can fly in, see a bunch of specialists, and get a bunch of tests in a single

I wanted that with noise levels. I'm so very tired of hearing illegally modified exhausts. It seems like an I2S mic would give calibrated levels.

I find it interesting that he barely mentions the actors, costumers, set designers, etc. These are the "face" of the show. I take this to mean that story trumps all in television. You have to know what your core product is.

It's important to remember the difference between the old Google with ~1k people and today's Google with 100k+ people. Things were a lot more flexible back when gmail was a new thing. I started at G in 2005 when there were 6k eng

It looks like the problem isn't where I thought it was. Still figuring out how to get it to work, though.

I'd love to know how this works out for you. I was trying to do something similar, but got stuck. The core issue is that the fluent object design approach makes it very difficult to decompose objects into reusable features. The share

CadQuery is usually used within FreeCAD. Most of what you describe is there because the part just shows up in the CAD workspace like any other part. The only difference is that you make changes by changing code instead of doing it graphica

Complex CAD parts can have complex construction to get things like symmetry and parametric sizing to work correctly. It's much more involved than word processing, for example. If you watch an experienced CAD technician work, they wil
