It's either delusional or naive to think you never make mistakes. Everyone does.

The rest of engineering is doing very careful math and then multiplying everything by two just to be sure.

Principles are great. You can just throw them out the window the second they might mean giving up money!

Before password managers people used the same password on every site. Vaults being a SPOF is true but not really relevant. They're still an improvement over what people did before.

I remember, it was extremely cool! 23 years later the novelty has worn off a bit.

It's basically this, yes. Blue LEDs were such a game-changer that the inventor won a Nobel prize for it. When they became cheap enough to use in consumer electronics, manufacturers went absolutely nuts and put them in everything as a s

That's not a cancel.

Yes, and since they're such low-volume, they are super expensive. I've had to fight tooth and nail just to get more than one set of test hardware.

Design and implement basically any digital circuit you can possibly imagine, within certain speed, thermal, and/or gate count constraints.

Similar to how the solution to work/life imbalance is never less work.

Fortunately while we wait for the FDA to get its act together we can buy triazine sunscreen relatively cheaply and have it shipped here. I've been using Altruist: https://altruistsun.com/

omg, I'm an idiot sometimes. It's a wonder they let me anywhere near spacecraft.

When you're flying, wind is no longer the air moving over the ground, it's the ground moving under the air. It doesn't produce acceleration except for a brief moment when you leave the ground.

Ask a pilot to recite Navier-Stokes from memory. They won't even know what you're talking about. Building a gas turbine engine without training? Forget it. The only electrical engineering a pilot needs to know is the difference be

There's not much to it. You route them without worrying about equal length, and then your EDA tool adds serpentine tracks to the shorter one to match its length to the longer one.

It is literally a crime, but it's not "crime."

Already we've got two top-level comments who think this article is about crime. It isn't. It's about corrupt police shaking down small business owners under threat of losing their business license. ETA: Please give the pedant

The article is about the MPD forcing businesses to hire off-duty cops or risk losing their business license, rather than an actual security problem requiring security guards.

I read it as a figure of speech, not meant to be taken mathematically.

I don't particularly care but this thread started as a discussion of how to eliminate as many radiated identifiers as possible.

by _moof 3y ago
The sensors aren't physically wired to the car; they're radios inside the tires, and as edrxty noted, they transmit a unique ID.

Yes, but even then, you can disable a cellular transmitter (cut a trace) without disabling the GPS.

by _moof 3y ago
In principle you don't need to disable GPS. A GPS receiver doesn't transmit anything. What you would need to disable would be Bluetooth, cellular (e.g. OnStar), and potentially TPMS.
