This is an enlightening post. That the USA see influence on technical standards as a threat to national _security_ shows what they are using their own influence for.

I see the problems you describe, but if you sell the rights in auctions you once again boil it down to the one-dimensional metric of money. I think not just how much one is willing to pay, but also what it'll be used for, is relevant.

The simplification for calculating the power of an alternating current by just using the maximal values and a correction factor is only valid if the signal is alternating in a periodic fashion, which includes constant period. However, the r

by madez 9y ago
Well, no, not if the voltage for example doesn't stay constant nor changes with a constant period, because then P=IV becomes an integral that doesn't simplify like we are used to.

I'm thinking about what would be necessary for it. It seems doable to me. First, one would need to separate the simulation into different domains, define interfaces between them, and then figure out appropiate time stepping for the sim

I also think that I ask for a lot. And I know that simulation is hard, error-prone, and often more expensive than just buillding the real system. However, building the system does not always give the insight that a simulation can give, and

I'd like to for example create a PCB with some sensors, LEDs, and a microcontroller, specify the sensor input over time and the software on the microcontroller, and let the computer figure out the behaviour of that system, so it can te

Is there free software to create and simulate virtual populated PCBs? Fritzing allows creation, but it doesn't simulate the board. For simulation one needs the exact behaviour of all parts. That excludes board with parts that have a cl

Well, I'm rather extremely selective instead of doing something I consider wrong.

You are misinformed on many levels. You can still copy copyrighted data and send it to a friend over the internet, just like you can copy a book cover to cover and give the copy to a friend. The focus is on friend , however. When you torre

To put things into perspective, the plaintiffs lawyers, Waldorf Frommer, are known for shady tactics. They have built an industry of putting immense pressure on private people. They don't shy away from lawsuits because they are cheap f

This part of the thread is becoming ridiculous. In all societies at all times there is some system to act against the interest of some people under some conditions. That is trivial. What differentiates modern free societies, then? Modern fr

This is wildly unrealistic speculation. If any country nuclearly bombed any other country, it better be prepared to face the rest of the world for it.

The argument of the net gain is flawed. A hallmark of modern, free societies is that it's exactly not one for all, but the right and freedom of the individuum.

There are chances that after the next substantially increased military conflict, you and I are dead. And so is practically everybody else. I fail to see the "stunning technologies" we could get from that.

Then the people who didn't pay would feel as second-class citizens who can be scrutinized, analyzed, and their profiles sold. That awareness would be deadly for Facebook, because not enough people would be willing to pay.

It might be that the EU willingly rejects certain business. Maybe, if you aren't GDPR compliant, you are not wanted by the EU.

You attest so legally binding. The legal system does not function on mathematical proofs. If it turns out you did not speak the truth, you can be fined, and maybe even jailed. That's how it works. Also, we are not talking about forgett

I'll just ignore the passive aggressiveness that gushes out between your lines, because it only makes exchanging information about the matter at hand harder. Let me start by summarizing the facts to get this straight. Germany does not

The EU comission threatened to fine Germany for the air pollution caused by these cars. I expect they'd treat other EU countries the same.

You claim things without being knowledgeable of the matter. For certain businesses that require door to door contact there are exceptions. You don't know the plans with regarding alternative means of transportation.

I don't think the market for satellite Internet is only where other services don't provide fast enough internet. Of course, the technology of glass fiber in the ground can't be beaten qualitywise, but glass fiber can more eas
