We'll Believe It When We See It - Hiring Hypercatalectic Helpelp
- Chris is currently at DesignCon showing off Parts.io.
- Contextual Electronics is also underway and the first project is doing a simple layout to get everyone acclimated with the tools.
- Dave just hired his first lab assistant from a great pool of candidates! This should hopefully free Dave up to do more hardware builds.
- Someone tweeted to us about printed 7400 series electronics.
- The 3rd Edition of The Art of Electronics is now available for pre-order!
- In the US, there are restrictions on when credit cards can be charged for a crowdfund campaign (30 days). This doesn't seem to be the case in Australia.
- There was a conference in mid January about the open source RISC V processor. They just added the videos yesterday!
- Dave predicts there will never be a successful open source processor.
- Chris was interested in the Clay Christensen book "The Innovator's Solution", a followup to "The Innovator's Dilemma".
- Dave agrees with his favorite pundit that Yahoo! should spend all the money they raised from the Alibaba IPO funding other companies and good ideas. Chris thought this sounded like the often discussed "spray and pray" method of investing in companies.
- Dave did a rant about free energy devices https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoqF3gjLIyI
- The new DARPA robot for their Robotics Challenge now has a battery pack and has been redesigned for everything above the knee.
- Dave really enjoys this history of atomic power. He likes the book, "The making of the atomic bomb".
- Once the new assistant starts, Dave may attempt a portalab like Chris built last year for having at home. This would be like a "bug-out bag", but for electronics
