When I think about big projects I immediately think about the system of contractors. There is a dozen layer distance between buyer and the guy who delivers. And every layer wants the share. So having one screw installed costs a salary for o

45 minutes is already long meeting… From my experience longer than 30 minutes group meetings were never productive.

I guess client group is rather limited. Salaried employees have to pay taxes. There is no other way. Small businesses can deduct cars and iPhones as expenses and are happy. It gets interesting reaching mid 7 digit revenue zone. But on other

Rich optimize taxes due to many loopholes in tax system using insanely well paid consultants specializing exactly in that. While middle class gives at least 2/3 of the pre-tax money for taxes, so called insurances and weird things like

I am in a unionized big corp in Germany. Union does not stop layoffs or full back to office. Union representatives happily agree on business needs.

Sad reality. Unless you’re white and looking like a German, don’t feel too relaxed in former Eastern Germany.

Interviewing around Munich and big players have policies between 3 days in the office on the strict end and “please, show sometimes in the office” on easy going end. C’mon, it’s big step forward already from 5 years ago when people had occa

What does it cost in official dealership? 1250$? Parts from scraped best case or stolen worst case cars are not an indicator.

Every Lidl has it in Europe I guess. Here in random Lidl on Adria shore it’s being sold by Monolith group (some Eastern Europe company shell) and made in some far far away ex-soviet country. Nothing special, but nostalgia. On other hand oth

During the USSR era you were able to travel freely. <- that’s not true. The newcomers in moscow got job and then went to moscow. And got an apartment from the institution that offered the job. Going to moscow without a job would make you

I have this problem - I am one man hardware department for almost a decade. I am interviewing now and people don’t want to listen to this. I designed everything and own everything. So I started lying having imaginary colleagues who co-desig

During last 3 decades Europe got heavily demilitarized. Army in Germany became dysfunctional money sucking black hole without working equipment. Ukraine with its forces never posed a threat to Russia. And yet russians decided to invade. Loo

The big corp I work for has many fun “speak up” policies. And after few years here I can tell only thing - speaking up is probably the fastest way to get in trouble. So yeah, the companies like silence and will send lawyers and/or Huma

Designed gigabit Ethernet board and one with FPGA+DDR3 using KiCad 5 and it was ok. Don’t see benefit in OrCAD or Altium here. Maybe for 60 GHz there might be some benefit. Bet that’s not my working frequency range.

Honestly I think, such projects must be funded instead of stupid thing called development aid: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_aid Because money does not solve poverty problems. Especially wiring them direc

Burning coal in winter and turning off safe(!) and paid off(!) nuclear plants sounds like a failure to me.

Depends on environment you work in. I had a great chance to work with people who showed me how it’s done properly and told what can I do better and I did. That was awesome constructive place. At the moment I am in very toxic place, looking

3x compute modules 4, not used plus 2x carrier boards also not used for sale here. Let’s make small Hacker bazar. Wanted to use them for a project. Then I wasn’t able to buy more and went with FPGA. I hope it’s not against forum rules.

I would say, ultrasound is perfect FPGA application. One ultrasound channel can be replicated many times. FPGA size is the limit. Especially now when Raspberry Pis are unobtainium.

CEO gets always the money. For example: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2014/04/17/fired-yahoo-exec-gets-58... While workers get in best case severance package and unemployment benefits.

Nobody ships high value small expensive components by sea. It’s ok for reels of generic resistors. But not good for project specific parts.

3 days in the office is fine for me. Though I work sometimes with hardware. Big corp I work for asked to be in the office 4 days and the managers asked in private to be whole week here and they might spare us from next wave of layoffs. Logi
