Thanks for sharing and interesting industry perspective. Color me unconvinced on one point though: > Only very recently, there came an FPC maker that makes custom cabling with some proprietary dielectric that can handle 3.0. A brief gl

+1 here. For at least the past 5 years, I've been questioning the value of IEEE regular membership very hard. Marketing internally spams the Gmail inboxes paid for by dues; Spectrum is nothing more than a front for advertisements while

+/-20mA seems a bit coarse...with modern low-power silicon, imagining it wouldn't be too difficult to skate under that radar.

Historically, NIST had provided transition guidance to Federal agencies circa March 2006 to begin migrating to SHA-2[1], officially deprecated SHA-1 for digital signature generation use between 2011 and 2013[2], and outright disallowed it w

Tesla isn't an outlier; the problem is far more systemic than I'd wager most realize. E.g. Helm[1] is the official publisher of OEM technical manuals for at least 23 vehicle makes--the same manuals used by their respective authori

Cars don't fix themselves--people do. The only difference is vehicle manufacturers have convinced ignorant consumers into believing that technology has advanced so far that only a "professional" can do it, i.e. those who hold

I'd argue that it would actually be easier: modular, less component-level repair. The difference is Tesla won't sell you technical manuals, which are reserved for their chain of authorized service shops.

Sorry but I don't buy the argument...or perhaps can't is more appropriate? There are only two things that genuinely preclude owners from servicing their own vehicles (Tesla or otherwise): a lack of will, and vehicle manufacturer

I'm indifferent to the policy, but one possible way would be conditional employment linked to the return of a sabbatical employee being replaced, or perhaps a fixed probationary period allowing for release without cause.

It takes ~9-1/2 months to have a baby; that's a huge planning and coordination window. What would that minimum window look like to my hypothetical employer if I decided on a whim to start a business tomorrow?
