It'll be extremely telling to see how they handle the introduction of AI in the coming years. Lawyers could very well find themselves being the first group of truly upper crust white collar professionals decimated and yet they also ha

Kids these days, amirite? Every generation has had their asshole exhibitionists. Technology has just been pushing said assholes towards making TikTube content lately. Boomers did the radio shock-jockey routine, X did deeply weird televisio

It's not just the fees. ARMs licensing terms are fucking annoying. They're militant about their shitty IP so they refuse to license their cores for FPGA based deployments, for instance.

It boggles my mind. Many of the newer hand held radios are sdr based but they instead insist on providing only proprietary interfaces that only work with their shitty proprietary digital modes so if you actually want to use a radio to do in

The Arrow also has a constant speed prop, the difference is the Arrow is direct drive from a massive 360 cubic inch engine whereas the turboprop has a gear box. It needs this displacement to produce power while at such a low speed for the

I wouldn't buy one for a pleasure craft, but even a small efficiency gain in ocean freight could turn the industry on its head.

Yeah, I can say with some certainty that every aerospace engineer has this idea at some point then moves on to other things. A select few have pursued it but at least at aircraft scale it results in a number of other engineering challenges

The FAA had plenty of options to replace 100LL for decades but didn't have the balls to make any compromises at all. Most of the aircraft could have been trivially run on 93UL or even automotive 93 and the few that couldn't could

I use Joplin daily and it's great for me. I have it set up with encrypted sync to fastmail storage via WebDAV and since I got that working I've had zero issues across the 3-4 devices I use it on.

Is this another ill-conceived argument for the existence of classical Christian metaphysics? They'd have a much easier time concealing the bias if they didn't construct it exclusively from the themes of genesis... Woman... Knowle

Ok, I gotta ask. How does NIST source a large supply of mud that's stable in composition over a long period of time, both in terms of supply chain and storage? That seems to be the case for a lot of these items. Either they have a pr

Yeah you raise a good point, I was in a city with generally serviceable schools. Really, I just tend to get frustrated at the belief system that all public schools are awful and any good parent should send their kids to private school. Eve

Went to public until 5th then private school through HS, all were dumpster fires in their own way. Just my .02, and while this was over a decade ago, I'm inclined to believe shitty and free is better than shitty and expensive. If you

As someone in industry, I can assure you Boeing is still a disaster. I know a fuckload of good people who have turned down working there because the culture is shit and management is braindead even by defense contractor standards.

Given that cheating at chess would require an extremely small amount of bandwidth you'd end up monitoring or jamming an extremely large amount of spectrum. One could go so far as to use things like IR/UV LEDs and it would be extr

For what it's worth, contrails only form when conditions are right at certain altitudes, so if we had renewable fuels we could theoretically move aircraft outside the contrail altitude window. It would piss off controllers and burn sl

Flight software is software for physical objects and is therefore bound by the laws of reality. Recently salaries have been jumping up significantly but they're still way below the low end of that range. For reference, I'm a Sr a

Much of the debris is stuff from before we knew what we were doing or from ill advised weapons tests. Lots of old rocket bodies and random shrapnel.

They always held a lot of parties I wasn't invited to, but after being asked to change random text strings enough times to "make it easier for the customer to understand" I don't think I wanted to go anyway.

You can do better if you're selling the stuff yourself, but that follows a bathtub curve with totally bespoke on one end and Apple on the other. It seems it becomes a struggle to keep up sales unless you're on Amazon and stacked

Ha! I've seen this. We had one screw that was close enough to a trace on the board that it would lock up the device and fail ESD testing. Ended up plugging the top of that one screw hole with RTV on the whole batch.

This seems to apply across the entire Small Plastic-covered Electronics sector. I worked for an instrumentation/sporting goods manufacturer among others and this reads like I wrote it myself. The CEO, even of a small operation, likely

Cockatoos can be highly intelligent. They're known to be able to solve fairly complicated puzzles and have the added bonus of having bolt cutters for a face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5YyTHyaNpo https:/&#

It's also a bit of a reminder that what society considers criminal and immoral-as-hell are often strangely misaligned. It's entirely possible he was being fraudulent as well, but he didn't A. mess with icky medical things or

It's just a way of increasing the penalties for really severe crimes committed by people near the threshold but it's become a tried and true legal maneuver for prosecutors who want to appear tough on crime. Whenever you see &quot

The point they're making is that if facebook didn't insist on mining everyone's chat histories, they wouldn't be in hot water for having to comply with bullshit search warrants. This is a solved problem in the tech spac

Yeah it's a heavily overused term. Best I can tell, it's come to mean a particular barrel length, somewhere between 14 and 16 inches but it can be any caliber or cartridge type really. It's supposed to be a short handy rifl

The meanings of all the various words describing firearms has been, particularly in the last 100 years or so, fairly loose. There aren't really hard definitions for "assault rifle", "machine gun", "sub machine
