Yeah lots of people aren't aware that you can refuse the UK furlough scheme. The company can then fire you but you could then take them to an employment tribunal and sue for unfair dismissal. At certain companies that are using furloug

IANAL but it's not always illegal. If a company has a choice between going bust and imposing pay cuts on everyone then that is perfectly legal.

This depends on which is worse for productivity: unemployment or furlough. I think in some cases furlough is worse for productivity as workers that could be working for another employer and have in-demand skills are sitting idle. In a free-

Although lots of UK companies won't be making any redundancies until the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ends. It's much easier to put UK workers on the 80% pay furlough scheme than firing them. As soon as that money dries up exp

Except that not all binary data is valid UTF-8 so you also need functions that check if a binary buffer is valid UTF-8.

I think the main reason is because rural areas have surplus housing stock but don't have similar surpluses in other resources such as supermarkets, internet connectivity, hospitals, pharmacies etc. One family has no impact but millions

Can anyone explain how PWM (pulse width modulation) uses more computational power than binary code modulation (or bit angle modulation)?

I see no reason why you can't start a new job, you can have another job and receive the furlough pay as far as I can tell [1]. This may be in breach of your first employees contract but as long as its a job in a slightly different indu

What is the accuracy of non-contact infrared thermometers sensors in detecting high body temperatures? If you use an off the shelf cheap non-contact thermometer then your will read ~32C when you measure your forehead temperature. As far as

That looks very similar and indeed you can purchase those for 7000 rupees ~ 100 USD at https://m.indiamart.com/proddetail/ventu-cpap-mask-kit-m-l-2... which sounds reasonable for a disposable medical device. The origin

Depth of field for a normal camera is a function of the relative aperture size (f-number), focal length and distance to the subject. This camera is able to create a huge depth of field with a far smaller aperture than would be expected with

The doubling period of Covid-19 is between 1.8 and 4.1 days where large scale quarantine measures aren't being taken [1][2]. The conference is in 43 days so without large scale quarantines and stopping large events then the number of c

Yeah this is likely caused by the poor accuracy of the current sensor at very low power and switch mode power supplies can mess with the way the data is sampled.

The problem of saving power with small household devices is similar to the problem with micro-transactions. The overhead of connecting devices into a smart system is far greater than the recovered cost in terms of both money and energy. A s

100uW is fine for a lot of low power applications. For example Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connections can operate on as little as 10uW.

It's not that stupid. If a candidate asks the questions you are asking then you know they are on the right track. It isn't about getting the right answers but about having the knowledge to ask the right questions.

This device will operate very differently depending on flow rate, therefore the quote "the device acts as a slightly leaking valve" is probably a bit misleading. The Reynolds number determines if the fluid operates in a turbulent

Yeah sometimes the best hash functions for hash tables are easily reversible. And hash functions that can't be reversed faster than brute force can be really bad if their output is biased making collisions more likely.

Location via time of flight is very accurate in terms of distance but not angle. It will require at least two septated devices to accurately pinpoint a third unknown device. And if those two baseline devices are moving then the accuracy is
