Software engineers are, by both education and corporate training, intellectually corrupt. Hardware engineers tend to be less corrupt than software engineers. The most ethical and meritocratic, and the least racist, group of people in Americ

Tend to agree. My previous employer did most of the ATE, quality, and production control in Python; and hardware drivers mostly in C. It worked reliably for about 15 years. During late 2017, the new 'code boss' mandated Python 3 f

The American and Canadian military are significant examples where many organizations are 'run' by people under 30. Yes, most field-grade and general officers, and senior NCOs are over 35. But, for example, the day-to-day decisions

Per the common product safety standards (national standards based on IEC 60950-1, 60335-x, 62368-x), Class I and Class II construction are defined per the level and type of protection from shock for 'grounded' and floating enclosu

Perhaps this data does not indicate the obvious for some stuff. We have two 2001 Tacoma trucks, one is 4WD, and one is 2WD. My truck is ugly as sin, but is reliable and easy to repair. The new Tacoma is essentially a full-size truck, too mu

Sorry, but does sound a bit elitist. Coding has become a somewhat skill set among some blue-collar workers, and have seen some good stuff come from electricians, plumbers, and mechanics. I know many civil, mechanical, chemical, and electric

Suppose we stop throwing trillions at war machinery. Am not certain that any particular technology, or even social expenditures, would ever enable "love and peace". Probably just 10% of the annual DoD budget bent towards education

Agree. Each service branch is a different culture. The different branches' cultures are reflective per their mission and the resultant qualifications and standards for the 'type' of person that would be able to pass the train

Marine aviation is very small, and they are naval aviators, so Marine squadrons do carrier duty. But they are small and mobile, and want to be able to operate from remove patches of dirt. Helicopters in general, and the F35B and V22 in part

Need to correct some stuff. Class 2 (arabic numeral) is for limited power sources, regardless of construction class. Class II (roman numeral) indicates a construction class where safety cannot be dependent on a ground bond. Class I (roman n

Geez peoples - so much misinformation. Touch current test methods and limits are well-defined through out the world. Poor power 'quality' may affect this measurement, but is not a significant contributor to the magnitude of potent

Have done reviews for IEEE, APEC, and ACM stuff. There can be many reasons that a presentation is not accepted. Some rejects are a simple instance of subject matter not matching the scope of the symposium. Or there can be some problems with

Kudos for having an electrical safety page. But is not complete. Some of these installations appear to be both fire and shock hazards. 1. even for flame-rated PC and ABS, the RTI is typically under 50C, so any long-term exposure to LED heat

Juror nullification not permitted in many states. In California, you will be found in contempt of court for doing so, or at best be removed from the jury for misconduct. Also, essentially zero federal judges will permit any open discussion
