Get yourself checked for Periodontitis [1]. (Assuming the bruxism is self-diagnosed based on your lack of dental practice visits.) This is a common condition whereby bacteria get between the gum and teeth. It starts with sticky "plaqu

That's true of rare things in general. They get more expensive and desirable as they get rarer, then they cross a threshold where they become so rare that they become little known and demand goes away. (My dad had a car like this.) I

Is there a public repository somewhere with the in-progress designs? I'm interested to take a look. (Starting with the over-the-air protocol are you are using.)

The mention of Murdoch was aimed at the chain of companies (centred around News Corp), not the person. The voting structure of News Corp is such that the Murdoch family has control, so News Corp and Murdoch (the family) are pretty well int

Thanks for the informative reply. I think it's a fascinating system. On paper it could act as an OTHR if the signal processing was changed. I'm guessing each station would need to lock its carrier to GPS and transmit as often as

I don't disagree with the triggering of your BS alarm, but don't write off the ability of frequencies in the 5-30MHz range to detect an aeroplane the size of a passenger jet. I used to be an engineer on the Jindalee Over-the-Hori

The opposite happened to me. I wrote an article, which 7 years later was plagiarised on Amazon. My article got taken down on the basis that it plagiarised the Amazon book. Fortunately the publication dates made it pretty clear what had h

Sydney/NSW is an interesting case, as its response has very much relied on contact tracing, to the extent that it is probably a world leader in this area. When a case is detected, the NSW government's contract tracers conduct conf

Underneath the Ethernet layer there is still an old skool layer of modulation over a copper wire (unless you have fibre to your premises or are on wireless). It's not that far removed from the old 56k modems. The main difference is th

Granted that there will be some impact on the MIMO from the Iot device, but it will be lopsided as the MIMO can null out the IoT transmission. It can be looked at in a couple of ways: the IoT is having to spread its power more thinly than
