The deposition of his father clearly laid out that they saw spikes in sales when the sandy hook conspiracy was mentioned and actively sought to replicate it.

From Matt Levine on his everything is securities fraud theory An odd fact of the U.S. legal system for public companies is that every crime is also securities fraud: If a company does a bad thing, and regulators find out about it, then the

I tend to think of an SoC as "MCU with other peripherals not typically on an MCU", so BLE/WiFi radio or maybe gate drivers for motor control. But usually radios. As you pointed out "not typically on an MCU" is a mov

Matt Levine has covered similar scenarios and termed in the "Wag trade". Adam Neumann may do the same for wework.

I think this was what compass originally intended to disrupt but then realized it was way more profitable to just make tools for real estate agents.

Wrong kind of environmental concerns from what locals have told me. The issues were more about increased traffic from Oahu to the less populated islands and people taking things that have been made more or less extinct on Oahu like opihi or

I've had very similar experiences working with former researchers including at a university spinout. Mechanical rather than CS. It was perplexing how they still carried the elitism that industry was mostly for people who can't hac

Working with it had me oddly sentimental. Most of my measurements are 12V or less and not especially precise, so I'll reach for my Saleae before even using a modern scope or DMM much less a beast like the 3458a. But it was simultaneous

Old HP was something special, people here might not be aware that they were a leading test equipment company back then not just a PC maker. That business was spun off as Agilent then spun off again as Keysight. At a previous job we purchase

Not since the original proposal ~20 years ago, Peskin has made comments since reiterating that he wouldn't let it happen. We may not be at capacity but SFO has a pretty terrible on time percentage, and traffic slows massively when ther

SF politics come into play here as well. There’s been talk of expanding the runways so visual approaches wouldn’t be needed for decades now, but Aaron Peskin seems to have made it his personal issue to kill it at every opportunity.

Hasn’t the remote vision system on the KC-46 been a bit of a disaster as well?

24 hours of lemons has a similar rule. As far as I know the race organizers have only ever taken the option to purchase a car once. A friend of mine raced lemons for years and said the biggest offenders were people who put way too much mone

Yes nrf dev boards have an on board j-link, and Nordic provides instructions on how to turn the board into a programmer. Their licensing with segger explicitly allows this as long as you use it for other Nordic devices. Much cheaper than a

Never verified but I was always told the fumes from lead free are more noxious than the leaded counterparts, maybe because of the higher temp requirements. Should be using a fume extractor regardless but I’ve always been more conscious of i

In the embedded world I almost never care about real time in hours or minutes. I just want a timer to increment for use with input capture or determining the period of some function.

It’s not always easy to find a mold wizard at short notice. Things in hardware space are more word of mouth and relationship based. And as others said you don’t know what you don’t know. I had a (mechanical engineer!) boss who was happy to

As a firmware engineer I’m horrified at the presumption that hardware is always operating correctly. Many times I’ve been told “your new firmware is broken” and the real problem is something as mundane as an improper capacitor or resistor v
