@eevblog I'm sure that building doesn't have any recording devices installed anywhere

@TechLiberty123 @USTreasury It says "real income growth" which means this is growth on top of whatever inflation was.

@TipsWatch Slightly higher than predicted... good sign for tomorrow's TIPS auction? 🤞

@john_532 @eevblog @acccgovau They're skirting on the edge of legality here. This type of thing is such a common occurrence. With no repercussions, it's the most lucrative way to carry out a scam. You just can't count on government to protect you against everything, that's why education is so important.

@eevblog The only truly anonymous currency is cold hard cash. That's why governments are slowly trying to eradicate it. Installing their own version of "digital currency" where everything is 100% tracked and surveilled is their ultimate wet dream.

@TipsWatch I know it sounds weird, but I always view the results in XML instead of pdf.

@eevblog Super-cold compressed air... They have this in race cars, except they direct the air into the engine instead of a dozen thrusters.

@NASA @Space_Station Beautiful footage of the undocking and departure burn. I watched at 2x speed for added effect :)

@eevblog @blueorigin I'm nervous, but at least this one has the entry hatch near the ground, instead of 30 meters high with some crazy elevator contraption

[SlithyTove @SlithyToveGyre]

@eevblog You know, it does look like an orca. With the black tiles and white exposed parts.

[SlithyTove @SlithyToveGyre]

@eevblog More racist BS. All this focus on a person's race sets us back to the f**kin dark ages.

@eevblog This program continues to amaze me. I remember the insanity when Falcon 9 first landed on a barge. When they catch the first Starship, it will be like that all over again. Meanwhile hardly anyone pays attention to the F9 landings any more.

@eevblog Well if you can't repair it, you can always take some inspiration from this legend (RIP): https://t.co/aLL2Uomgkg via @YouTube

@eevblog Pop goes the bubble

@josephwang At the last FOMC meeting Warsh did mention strong economy as one of the reasons for higher yields, and he included "competition for capital" and war as the two other factors. I understand he has to tiptoe around questions from the press, but I just found it interesting.

@Space_Station @astro_anil And the MELF fanboys go wild!

@Kazimierzabczy1 @AussieVal10 @DrJessCollins I have to agree with you. If I'm at work and a light in the ceiling goes out, I put in a maintenance request and they change it out. I'm not going to stop whatever I'm doing, drive down to the hardware store to find a replacement bulb, grab a ladder and change it myself.

@RFERL It's not like these DSP chips from TI are top-secret military grade warfare components. They're used in millions of consumer appliances and electronic devices. And this video shows an ancient package (they're OLD). They could have been scavenged from anything.

[SlithyTove @SlithyToveGyre]

@BlueBird_Invest @josephwang It's all of the above. This was Warsh's answer in the last FOMC meeting presser, when asked why rates keep jumping higher: A strong economy driven by AI spending. And that all that capex is resulting in more corporate borrowing (competition for capital). And the war.

[SlithyTove @SlithyToveGyre]

@eevblog @AusCrypto69 That's a little scary.. could've started a fire
