I think people are disinclined to prosecute because the odds are stacked against them. I'm thinking of an analogy, and I've mentioned this before in other threads. The concept of statutory damages, as I'm thinking of it, is t

I'd go further, with a ban on possession of the data, with a provision for statutory damages.

Let the industry regulate itself until people get angry enough. Keep pumping out addictive, manipulative content that's targeted at kids. Then we can see what the political reaction will be. That's assuming the industry hasn'

I'm a musician, and any delay between the sound coming direct from my instrument and from my headphones completely bollixes my ability to play.This made online jam sessions with an acoustic instrument impossible.

It seems like the things we ban for children are things that we might ban for everybody, but can get away with for children. Very few of those things are conclusively proven to be harmful -- perhaps firearms, motor vehicles, and smoking, an

At least going between 3.3 and 5 Volts, they depend on the fab process used to make the chip. Fab capacity is more widely available for the lower voltages, making it inconvenient to keep supplying higher voltage chips. It has also gotten ea

I remember my 1982 Toyota Corolla wagon had an obvious cut-out in the plastic interior, that was just a hair wider than a 4x8 sheet. I still miss that car.

For me, it's the Teensy 4.x boards. I have uses that consume all of their horsepower. I'm just a researcher, and my prototypes will be commercialized by an engineering team that will use the same microcontroller but on their own b

I'm a scientist in industry. It's remarkable how many smart people think that science can be done without data. I've heard managers ask: "Why do we need to gather data? Can't we just model it? The customer doesn&#x2

Unfortunately in my region highway traffic is quite congested, and so called "adaptive cruise control" is a game changer. I find it reduces fatigue by a lot. Usually the trucks are all cruising at the speed limit and I just hang w

Something caught my attention as a musician: Coiling cables can leave them with a permanent twist, depending on how you do it. Musicians are taught an "over under" method for avoiding this problem. Otherwise, if a service loop is

I don’t think “aligned with Russia” is what’s happening. Instead, I think they are aligned with the old fashioned “spheres of influence” concept, where each superpower owns and operates its own region. Thus, Russia owning Ukraine and the US

I'd add the Henry Ford Museum in Michigan, and the Air and Space Museum (both sites). They are not as up-close-and-personal as some of the ones mentioned in the article, owing to the extreme number of visitors, but have some utterly un

I was a teaching assistant for freshman physics lab while in grad school, almost 40 years ago. My co-teachers were all theoreticians, so I bore the brunt of helping the students troubleshoot their setups. There's a balance that has to

I've got two of those tap guides, one for US and one for metric. They're great. Also for drilling since I don't have a drill press at home. I've examined cheap taps under a microscope. Maybe they are of varying quality,

That brings up an interesting issue, which is that many systems do have more noise in y than in x. For instance, time series data from an analog-to-digital converter, where time is based on a crystal oscillator.

Interestingly, persuading young people to vote would have this effect too. You could double the effectiveness of your vote by inviting your friend to vote. Instead, the young are persuaded that their vote won’t matter. Also, making voting g

Why should Cuba be a model for Venezuela, and not Japan? Today, Japan is a thriving democracy and staunch ally of the free world.

But neither the Venezuelan elite nor the American elite will tolerate any hint of democracy. And neither elite will be satisfied with merely exploiting the oil.

I like that. The fourth rule, "flipped on display" makes it conceptually a lot easier than the lengthy table of sign rules for different accounts that my boss kept on his wall. A way I learned about it was that you want to be able
