A login back off should be capped to a number of hours rather than be allowed to grow to a month though. I also have a hard time seeing this implemented as setTimeouts for every failed login attempt instead of storing a last login attempt t

A minimum timing of an individual task is not a useful rate limit. I could schedule a bunch of tasks to happen far into the future but all at once for example. Rate limits are implemented with e.g., token buckets which fill to a limit at a

A scenario where an attacker can control a timeout where having the callback run sooner than one minute later would lead to security failures, but having it set to run days later is perfectly fine and so no upper bound check is required see

Why don’t you want to use a bigger screen? I play and watch videos on a 75” TV as more screen estate is better. Bigger is not always better, but it’s almost always costlier and less convenient.

self-nit: I wrote Double-sideband reduced carrier modulation, which is DSB-RC and only reduces the carrier. Double-sideband suppressed carrier modulation is what DSB-RC stands for, which removes the carrier.

The cost of replacing equipment in a fleet is large, but the modulation no longer has any impact on that cost if a replacement was to be made. AM is not providing any benefit of simplicity, but not changing standards avoids the transaction

Equipment certification for aircraft no longer in production is not at all related to the simplicity of AM. Certification complexity would have been exactly the same if FM had been selected as the standard back in the day.

Currently? It provides no benefit and depending on receiver might even be negative, but if an AM receiver was designed to demodulate the sidebands independently and average their output might indeed gain slightly better noise rejection than

There are notable differences between radio and imagery that might explain why it might be a tricky analogy: An image is quantized into pixels. A camera pixel is a receiver for a specific wavelength, subjected primarily to internal wideband

1.41x is sqrt(2), which suggests that they meant noise amplitude rather than noise power.

Well, yes and no. It's a bit more complex than just taking the numbers from Shannon-Hartley, but I admit that my original description was at best lacking, so thank you for pointing that out. Shannon-Hartley describes that the theoretic

The wider channels is the source of the available audio fidelity, but wider channels make you more exposed to noise, not less. A wider channel means listening to more noise sources, and having transmitter power stretched thinner for a muc

Differences in opinions and values (in particular what money is used for) is one thing, failing (and refusing) legal obligations and getting surprised by something as basic as tax is something else entirely.

Step one would be to finish reading the paragraph, rather than stopping at the fifth word. (Also note that the average family in the UK appears to only have somewhere between 1.7 and 2.4 kids, depending on sources.)

Driving a used Renault Zoe or Nissan Leaf does not "put the rich in power". Larger cars will also become available on the used market, but that requires the market for new cars for "rich people" to be very active as that

Yes, but until the ICE is gone, emissions and car flow is linked. An ultra-low emission-zone limits car flow by only allowing a smaller subset of cars to pass. A restriction on car flow reduces emission by allowing fewer emitters. A low-emi

It is true that politicians are not pushing charging infrastructure sufficiently - which they absolutely could, seeing they push other ridiculous and costly requirements like absurd parking space allocations - and that this needs to change.
