That's single event upset (SEU). The other radiation issue is total dose. That's when charge gradually builds up in insulating gates due to ionizing radiation. It's permanent, and eventually reaches the point that the transis

They can even be dispersed using mortars and artillery, like what has been done in Ukraine recently with butterfly mines.

All the discussion here seems focused on mitigation of upsets. What about total dose? Clever architectures and error correction don't mitigate that. Effective shielding is impractically heavy. You really need total dose hardness at the

What are people's opinions on crossbows as supplemental defense weapons? They lack range and ammo is not compact but they are quite stealthy.

Pretty bad answers in some cases. Keeps repeating contradictory statements. I asked "Will the Thai baht fail." It kept repeating that the Thai baht is pegged to another currency, and then that the Thai baht is free-floating and no

Have you ever served on a jury? My three times were eye opening. Very few of my fellow jurors had the slightest ability to perform critical thinking. Most paid no attention to the jury instructions and simply voted their biases. I can'

Regarding your point number 2, I've been having this debate over on Twitter (ha) about how much those who remain are saddled with extra work. I've been through a few layoffs in my career, though none as large as this one, and what

He also did Secret Life of Components which is very good. I used it as part of a Design & Technology course for my home school.

This is the mode I am in with my kid. Got him started on making and coding at a very early age and he took to it. He's 12 now and doing some significant things with Python, 3D printing and Arduino; the latter two were new to me so I pi

What if aliens did not perceive distinct objects, but rather that everything observable is part of a greater whole? Would they need counting numbers?

"large portions of the residents were forced out by the war, especially the residents inclined towards Ukraine" This is the first sensible answer to a question I asked elsewhere (only to be down-voted for asking a question) about

The effect of lowered account-wide CTR on CPC is something that has been experienced by a lot of people who have run Adwords campaigns. I saw it discussed a lot on forums about affiliate marketing. They always said, whatever you do, avoid t

Not legal for sure. But there are things that are done informally that are similar. Like at one company where I was a hiring manager we used head hunters heavily. Most head hunter companies are bad (in my experience) but the better ones try

No confusion. I've been through this with several accounts I helped manage. Once an account has a history of low CTR the CPC goes up. Starting a new campaign doesn't help; the CPC stays high until you can get the CTR back up. And

Once you have thousands of ad impressions with very few clicks, it takes thousands of new impressions at a very high CTR to get your overall account's CTR back to something reasonable. And now that your cost per click has skyrocketed,

"Never listen to a google ads rep if they call." Excellent advice. I was helping manage an Adwords campaign for an online shop, only had search ads turned on, was carefully watching and tweaking ads and managed to get a pretty dec

Anyone remember On TV? Their audio was modulated on a subcarrier that was easily demodulated with a single chip PLL. And the video was just mixed with a sine wave at, I think, the vertical scanning rate - super easy to mix in a 180 degree o

Similar story. My dad was a carpenter doing wood frame construction in southern California. He later got his contractor's license - better money and less physical labor but he still did some construction. I worked summers as a laborer

That was an eye opener for someone who was thinking of setting up an instance. Obviously there are risks to federating posts from other instances, but I wasn't ready for this.

In Thailand there isn't dual pricing for food. But there is for entry to many venues. It is institutionalized by the government - for example, the entry fee to national parks for non-Thais is 10x the Thai price.

Yep. I used to do technical sales support. I would come in after the sales manager had broken the ice and arranged for some of the customer's technical team to listen to our proposed solution. But the sales training we got told us to a

Not sure, but owning lock picking tools might be illegal. But as I have since learned, many locks are easy to pick with a paper clip.

Somehow my 11 year old got interested in lockpicking (maybe happened upon LPL?). So I got him a kit consisting of a clear-bodied lock and picking tools. He had mastered it within a couple of hours. Then he taught me. And since them we'
