That's what they keep saying, but other projects seem to be able to get stuff built just fine if they are paying market rates. From what I hear, they are being extremely tight with their budget, while simultaneously demanding aggressiv

They aren't asking to bring their PHDs or material science people... my understanding is they are asking to bring project managers, foremen, construction workers, pipe fitters and electricians. I live about 10 minutes away from the pla

No, because in the case of TSMC, they actually are building things in AZ and have already spent hundreds of millions on construction.

There needs to be more money and/or a non 4 year degree path for more of these jobs if they want to fill them.

This is really neat, there are some really cool, low cost integrated packages for ToF sensors (not what the article was talking about though). ST makes a bunch of them and they are surprisingly small.

While I'm one to frequently laugh and dismiss "nerd drama", GN has some pretty valid points, considering how much reach and influence they have on the PC market, candidly dismissing it as "online drama" seems a bit

Walmart has like 2 million+ employees, which is insane to think about. I have worked at a few ultra huge corps, one which had about 140k people, and like 240k devices in their org. When I changed jobs there in 2007, I had just come from a h

I think it would be fair to stop prosecuting him if he stopped being an active adversary of the US. I’m a firm supporter of holding the US government accountable when they do bad things, however, Assange is most definitely not someone who i

You don't even want to know how little security is in the RF signals garage door openers use. Most use rolling codes, but those have a fairly small key space, which is further reduced by manufacturer IDs.

Do you not keep track of current events? Chinas activities in the South China Sea, the fact they openly say they will integrate Taiwan, by force if necessary and unemployment being 20-30% for young people are just a few red flags.

I have had experience where the cables/connectors are just a hair bigger than spec to provide a better connection to the shield, and they cause the receptacles to wear and become loose over time. Then you use an in spec cable and it&#x

Decapping is well within the realm of hobbyists, I have thought about putting together an open source equivalent of the JetEtch, which can sometimes be found on eBay for fairly cheap. My main concern is that the chemicals used are really da

I don’t think the old gaming hardware really ran an OS in the way you think of it. IIRC the cartridges were effectively just PROMs (I could be wrong and maybe they were fabbed / silicon and didn’t get programmed) which held the applica

If a bank is comprised of 66% of their customers being narcos, the bank gets shut down. You don’t get to facilitate in illegal shit and hide behind your legitimate customers. Likewise, if you are a customer of theirs and know they heavily t

It feels like CA is one of the most litigious companies in software, maybe worse than oracle for patent shenanigans. Just because they settled, doesn't mean the whole story is being told. There is nothing any of these companies have be

Call the abuse department, not sure if they still are like they used to be, but they used to be 24/7 and would actually pick up the phone, 480-624-2505.

I would rather write software for precision guided bombs than write software for a U.S. insurance company. Over the course of your career, the bombs will by far have been responsible for less death and ruin fewer peoples lives.

It certainly was an intro, but not very comprehensive, and feels like it was written by people who obviously don't have much first hand experience with counter UAS or counter battery offerings. The things they were talking about with r

I would say the majority of them that I have seen online are very obviously using jammable transmissions. It shows how having distributed EW capabilities are really important if you wanna keep your vehicles alive.

Depends on what your budget is. Posts on HN for the area of focus, specifically on threads can be great ways to find people, though might not be the easiest way to do it. Most of the time I just ask former coworkers or ping mailing lists. I

Yea, it totally should be. Many of the ultrasonic sensors from robots use similar methods, but all this stuff could be wired up to simple projects. I would be interested in exploring with you if you wanted to.

While I totally get where you are coming from, I don’t think integration is necessary in 99% of usage. Sure, it helps people build intuition in the field they are specializing in, and for those people it can be invaluable, but having a bett
