Active sonar has been back in use for searching for submarines for a few decades now, the article is out of date. Low frequency active sonar towed sonars are fitted to modern submarine hunting ships; the low frequency is necessary to get a

IIRC very few public transport systems make a profit on running costs - never mind capital costs. The rest operate as money pits. Useful systems have huge positive externalities that can't be captured by charging passengers at a rate t

I think that - in theory - each case is unique and was individually tested at a trial where the evidence was weighed and judgement delivered. For each case lawyers need to prepare a case for appeal. Then the prosecution [1] has an opportuni

As I recall, Computer Weekly and Private Eye have been reporting this for over a decade. This is the second major scandal in recent decades where Computer Weekly , a trade rag, have doggedly held truth to power. The other case I'm

Thank you for id'ing the module. I can now see how using this would work for Facebook's needs. I think the XC7A100T is supported by the free (and limited) edition of Vivado [1]. Of course, the confusion about what you can and can&

Thank you, I will put a query on Github. However, I think they've used code from NetTimeLogic under a licence [1][2] that precludes distributing the source: > 3.2 Distribution Rights. LICENSEE may reproduce and distribute the Licens

I cannot find any source files for the FPGA code in the repository (no .v .vhd .vhdl files and I can't see anything by looking around manually). The FPGA directory [1] contains some binaries and some documents relating to commercial co

> So GPS doesn’t exactly need leap seconds but it really does care about how long a rotation of the earth takes which… amounts to the same thing. I don't think this is right. GPS explicitly uses a timebase that does not include leap

50 years was my (over optimistic) estimate of how long the CO2 would be left in the atmosphere before being sequestered by one of the carbon removal technologies being touted. In reality it's going to take centuries for our descendants

Surely dissolving CO2 in the ocean acts as a buffer, not a sink? We will have to stop emitting all of that CO2 as well (and future generations will have to sequester it). The net absorption / emission from the biosphere involves a lot

Most types of carbon capture technology [1] being touted are credit cards for climate change: You burn enough fuel to generate 4MJ worth of heat... Your internal combustion engine generates 1MJ worth of mechanical effort from this... You us

Much of the corn is being grown in a way that erodes the soil and depletes the water reserves being used, compromising our ability to grow crops in those areas in the future. Someone should probably tell the Illuminati.

The abstract [1] states that the technique is "purely material-enabled" but that they still laid out their kinetic inductor in a spiral. It would seem to me that a big advantage for these inductors in RF chips would be the lack of
