I believe the second chapter of the linked report went into considerable detail about how covid had primary and secondary effect in a very small range of industries and otherwise had little long term effect in other industries. As a primary

The link is a report of a report of many reports. I read, well, skimmed, the linked secondary source, although I didn't even examine the primary sources: Its extremely sector specific. No shortage at all in FIRE or retail, huge short

I thought about AWS MQTT "IoT" as the pricing contains gems like a million MQTT packets for a dollar. You'd use a MQTT "retained message", push the current SHA1 hash of the page or whatever will fit (maybe only a C

In the long run, you would likely have metal corrosion issues. Everything eventually dissolves, at least a little, it just takes a long time. Heat and moisture "forever" is a rough environment for metal. Consider metal parts di

Good news is thruput always increases with computers over time, bad news is latency only increases over time. See, for example, boot up times. Also see how recovering from sleep/hibernation is now slower than 80s computer boot times, s

Agree with you, the first company to defect from interop will have a higher financial report then mgmt will demand engineering implement prevention-of-interop features or at least ignore the issue.

Not entirely sure what you're saying, as Micropython on Zephyr exists. https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/zephyr/quickref.html Very weird seeing the Zephyr booting message I've seen so many time

The ultimate "wireless sensor" experience would probably be something like an ESP32 size, power, and price that provides a nice Node-RED interface on the sensor.

> there are non-cryptographic hashes and checksums that are extraordinarily fast. Is it still true that CRC32 is only about twice as fast as SHA1? Yeah I know the XX hashes are like 30 times faster than SHA1. A lot depends on instruction

Its worship of the new. Nothing worth anything existed last week, so reimplementing an entire infrastructure is zero cost.

Firmware for Matter is going to be enormous, zwave is a lot simpler. Lots of pessimism in the market about the interoperability of Matter. No mfgr is going to be motivated to encourage their customers to interoperate with a competitors ga

The smarter KVM switches, well, KV switches, would simulate a keyboard even if you're not connected to the server, but the dumber KV switches were dumb, so you'd have to select the rebooting server so it could see the keyboard. T

Something that disappoints me about the comments to this story is no mention of engineering optimization. The marketing shows it outperforms at very high power level at very high speed. Then the message veers off into ultra low speed modest

We've never done the experiment, but there are innumerable germs that infect across species, so they'd be catching all kinds of stuff. "FIV cross-species transmission: An evolutionary prospective" is an interesting paper
