I think you'll need to adjust for speed of data transfer and population density when attempting such analogies. A peasant from Gaul for example could not travel to say Alexandria unless as a slave via Roman galley, and had no informati

I'm from the UK but have been staying in Australia for a little over a year now. I'm making a hardware gadget from scratch, and some of the people involved are here. I've also lived in the US for a while. On Bloomberg I liste

Which would essentially be a price on the collapse of the current economic paradigm, if AI emerged as super efficient idea generator. ( Even before it finds it's legs, as it were ). I would therefore suggest that to be untenable.

I'm afraid to say that in Australia the reaction to these privacy and personal rights issues has been lethargic and frankly lazy. Under some circumstances, a lowly under educated clerk with no security clearance of any kind can, with t

"Descended 1500 meters, or even lower" has less substantive meaning than "descended to 1500 meters, or even lower". The same is true of the other phrase containing the 1500 metre measure. Bad construction, but I'll

The secure flight deck seems under some scenarios to be little more than a trap door. If you let in a foxy South African terrorist for example, you can't get back in again, as I understand it, if access is restricted from within the fl

That doesn't really have a straightforward answer. That's no surprise I suppose. I give an idea but you're best off researching it yourself. In terms of overall scalability and capability, Magento is hard to beat. But you hav

ChibiOS seems to work OK for me, though I haven't fully tested it yet. I'm running a port on both the M4 and M0 cores of an LPC4357, the 204mHz part. It's pretty quick.
