There's a bit of work, especially on the PCB side (there are 3 separate ones). You would have to order PCBs based on the Gerber files, and all of the components, and have a way of soldering them …

The BOM[0] specifies that this is a "3mw 780nm Infrared IR Diode Laser" with a link to eBay[1]. I'm finding 780nm 2.5mw and 3mw laser diodes rated at classes 3B and 3R. See [2] and [3].…

The laser range finder you linked to is different than the OP's 360 degree scanning LIDAR (... as the former doesn't scan!) :-)

Congrats on the great site! Small suggestion: the "what city" input threw me off because there was no autosuggest menu, like on most other travel sites. It felt like I was blindly typing in …

In addition to the article's points, it seems to me that the experience of dealing with aggressive/manipulative salespeople in a "classic" retail mattress store cannot be compared …

There was a discussion some time ago about mitmproxy (a tool similar to Charles) and specifically about certificate pinning / iOS apps. See here[0] It seems like you need a jailbroken device, and…

Compensation was higher, but to me there was much more, just as the employer/employee relationship is... much more. Generally speaking, it "freaked me out" that this negotiation (happen…

Are you running an ad blocker? I'm wondering if that might be interfering. Just loaded the form using the direct URL [1] and it worked fine. Try in an incognito window, just to make sure? [1] ht…

My other comment in this thread is not only a testimonial for the "main" 10x service, but also for this specific Agent on Demand one, which I've benefited from last year. See the 2nd pa…

During the extended beta period, they are "pay what you want". If you qualify, it's most definitely worth it.

What position are you interviewing for? If it's heavier on the engineer side, letting the number of downloads speak for itself (as an indicator of your apps' success and indirectly of your q…

I just wanted to add a testimonial & a bit of context about the above link. I've been on the 10x Management engineering roster for 5 years now, and they've always been stellar at finding…

Thanks a lot for the link! I ended up downloading the database, and going through all of my email contacts to see who was affected to write to them individually. About 7/10 frequently contacted p…

As other people have noted, I’ve had issues with zoom as well. The most stable, easiest video conference and screen sharing tool I’ve found is http://appear.in …

Certificate Pinning (in apps) stops mitmproxy from proxying traffic to the servers you're mostly interested in proxying... see: http://docs.mitmproxy.org/en/stable/certi…
comment
Same here, mitmproxy was always the goto tool, but many apps now use certificate pinning, which stops it cold. I was recently wishing for a "Jailbroken Mobile Testing Tool", similar to Sauce…

Thanks for the link. In that paragraph (the one that was removed), there are two links to Bret’s website and both of those are now 404 as well... what’s going on? http://worrydream.com/…

Great paper. It reminded me of seeing this recently, which was a bit surprising: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DM2-8SrX4AAqc4o.jpg:large Context: http://www.huffingtonpo…

That site is really awesome, I've spent a lot of time there as well (for those interested, check out the "Chatbox" tab, where users share stations/frequencies). Do you think that i…

Unfortunately, as stated in that repo's readme: `Images are not included and are not part of the dataset.` The repo doesn't include the images, which is understandable; however, the CSV file…
