Hmmmm. I like this. Could it be done as a non-profit perhaps? I mean we clearly can’t do the licence suspension and the jail time that way but we could maybe shame the scammers?

I heard a similar story from a coworker. They were interfacing with a car via CAN. They had an engineer from the manufacturer telling them the details of the message they should be sending to demand a certain speed. Turns out the descriptio

> 'knots' is actually a measure of speed Absolutely right. My first interpretation of that "something like 70 knots out at sea" was that it is the purported limit speed over which they must lower their keel. But that

I like the idea of that proposal, but I'm not sure how it would work in practice. The problem is that the crooked dentist will argue that the "bait" patient has in fact have cavities. And then if the prosecutor finds somehow

Even if after all the investigations it turns out the manufacturer were without blame (which usually is not the case) their attitude doesn't reflect well on them. Do you want to buy your yacth from someone who will blame everyone but t

The rumour I heard on “The Yacht Report” youtube channel is that when the retractable keel was down it was noisy. (Probably because there was enough play in the mechanism so it was banging around as the waves passed.) And the thought was, a

That's great. If you regularly fire the barista who brings in the least amount of money then you will find that nobody sane will take the slower shifts. Because how much money a barista brings in is mostly a factor of how busy the coff
