Eagle has a free licence version, If you're ok with 2 layer pcb's and fairly small boards, which would suit quite a lot of hobbyists. KiCad was in need of some UX love back when I looked at it 2 years ago, the feature set is definitely impressive though, maybe time to revisit it in the near future.
This is a review kit, Anandtech does not own these cpu's. Once done they ship them back to AMD. Pelican cases with foam filling are pretty convenient for that purpose.
Because VC's are not gatekeepers? I'd love to get in on a round at the same time as a VC, but would definitely pass up on a startup which can't garner VC interest.
It seems Planet currently only relies on passive de-orbiting, how long are sats expected to stay in orbit? And are active de-orbiting options being considered?
For everyone wanting to do something similar, please consider not using a raspberry pi for something a simple as controlling a light/garage door and take a look at ESP8266 or ESP32 boards (which have wifi onboard), there's tons of tutorials online, and the price tag can be as low as $3.
There's quite a few agencies, which maintain a facade of being a private person or couple renting out a property and listing a dozen or so properties on one account. The presentation of the data could have been a bit more slick & accessible, the labels are huge. For instance, presenting the data as an evolving heatmap with total properties per neighborhood, cumulative listings over time etc
Patent trolls are extreme actors in the patent system. The spirit of patent laws is that it rewards & protect innovation. However the letter of patent law is open to interpretation and unfortunately, abuse. A patent troll, doesn't invent, invest or build. It spends all it's time attempting tot retroactively claim ownership of innovation, through acquisition of junk patents, building portfolios of them and using them to, effectively, extort companies.
Would be very interesting to see the evolution of term sheets over the last few decades. The shifting power balance between founders & investors, seeing novel provisions become boilerplate etc.
Firstround seems pretty good a creating HN submit-bait, which in effect boost awareness of their main activity: their Seed venture capital fund. Some of their pieces are considerably better than stuff you'll find on Medium and the likes. This one is pretty fluffy though.
NASA programs typically span multiple decades and run in the billions of dollars, The political pendulum sways from one side to the other side every 4-8 years, every new administration is looking for ways to cut down taxes. It's amazing they get anything done imho.
Slightly of topic: A while a go I visited South Korea for the first time, and got weird looks whenever I pushed the button at crosswalks, that and the button talked back...Next day I'm again at a crossing with our Korean client and push the button, she starts laughing and tells me: I had no idea your were blind :) Turns out the button only calls out when it's safe to cross.
They're decent pictures, but not "GREAT" pictures. Even in warzones photojournalism is a highly competitive field. Editors at Reuters, AP and other news agencies get tons of sets offered every day.
Whining about it in an extremely passive aggressive blog post really isn't going to help his career along.
> we sell out at 100m and then go enjoy life instead of building a global giant.
This is what happened to Booking.com, sold to Priceline back in 2005 for about $150M due to lack of growth capital, currently Booking.com accounts for 70% of Priceline's revenue, which, with some handwaving, would amount to a virtual market cap of 50+ Billion $ if hypothetically they had continued on their own.
Nokia fits in a bigger picture of large European tech firms which stumbled over the last 20 year, sold off and shut down divisions before radically restructuring and reemerging as a smaller but more nimble companies. What is very worrying however that unlike in the US, which had similar scenarios with HP and IBM, hardly anything close to new giants of the likes of Alphabet, Facebook, Amazon appeared during that timeframe in the EU
Apple takes out loans in the US because their offshore billions are subject to 30ish % corporate tax if repatriated, which is indeed a tax incentive albeit a perverse tax dodging one...
It's not competition with unguarded/unlocked bikes. In order to minimize chance of theft you're competing for least desirability and most effort to steal. Most if not all Dutch bikes are by default fitted with an O-lock, which is a good first line of defense, combined with attaching your bike to a railing/bikestand/tree with a decent hardened steel chain lock.
