I e done firmware development from home for over a decade. I need help once and a while from someone in the lab to push buttons or make connections or do reworks or whatever. But I have no trouble getting most of my work done from anywhere

While it’s legal under part 91 to have only a magnetic compass, a vaccine powered gyro DI (or solid state equivalent) can be found in the majority of the GA fleet. The aircraft without a DI are typically ones with bush flying or acrobatic

It needs to be certified to be permanently installed in a non-experimental aircraft, or to be relied upon for IFR use, but for VFR use powered from a cigarette lighter and suction cuped to the window, you can do whatever you want.

Two reasons: * There are dozens of aircraft models in use each of which would require significant design changes to run on hydrogen. It’s more practical to design one alternate jet fuel source. * Hydrogen has worse energy density than jet f

Many years ago I read a Bruce Schneier blog post that posited that most computer users would prefer to have their computers strictly managed by a benevolent agent. I’ve always agreed.

I don’t consume enough broadcast media to comment there, but I certainly haven’t seen many privacy VPN ads online. And of course it doesn’t have to be popular to support a lot of ads - high margin would do that too.

I suspect privacy VPNs remain a minority use case, dwarfed by people connecting their home office computer to their corporate network.

Restricted airspace, and airspace where GPS is disrupted, are different things. GPS disruptions can be vast. Unless you're flying around the Mojave, restricted airspace tends to be small and with ceilings that make it no factor for t

I think that level of sophistication is typical of soft cores. If you need a high performance CPU you don’t use a soft core. You use a soft core when part of your FPGA project can be more easily expressed as a CPU, but still needs tight co

Libraries track books individually. If you and I each check out a copy of War and Peace, and you turn yours in on time but I don’t, they know who to pester. I think there’s a continuum from the cops being able to say “we found this here boo

If you send the googlebot user agent, and you’re not googlebot, that’s misrepresenting a fact. Same if you use curl and send a Firefox user agent. That’s all a fraudster needs to do - if the hearer of misrepresentation relies on it and is

If you change your user agent header to avoid blocking, and the blocking is to prevent some harm, however trivial, it’s not hard to fit that into the definition of fraud: misreprenting a fact that the hearer relied on and then was harmed by

> Trespass To Chattels is a law that governs the wrongful use of someone’s digital property. Statements like that make me suspicious of the quality of the rest of the analysis.

I was under the impression that was still the standard way to move GA aircraft across the Atlantic, and happened regularly.

Not all cell phones being used in cars are used by drivers. I wouldn’t want my cell phone disabled in an Uber, or to get a ticket because my uber driver was speeding.

Probably just a hint that the Ventura county medical examiners office is understaffed.

He has specifically mentioned BiLock as one he would consider. As another comment in this thread mentioned, Mendeco is also well regarded.

He can defeat just about anything, but he’s also exceptionally skilled. As a consumer of locks, I expect them to be defeatable by a skilled lockpicker. But I don’t expect them to be defeatable by a bic pen or by reaching in the keyhole with

You’re right; my reasoning was wrong - it’s not the last Rosetta OS but the first non-Rosetta OS where you can’t run old software anymore. But my overall point that in a Mac you can’t use software much older than a decade still stands. Dec

That's true for Windows, but it isn't true for macOS - Apple released its first x86 computer in 2006 and its last operating system capable of running PPC software in 2009 - no 2005 software could run on a 2009 Mac. Apple released

I'm in the US, have had the same cell phone number since 2004 [1], and have put it on the do-not-call list, and it doesn't seem to have made a difference. I receive 2x as many junk calls as legitimate calls, but at least an unkno

Most current fridges have a fan on the cold side to circulate the coldness all around, and rely just on convection to pull away the heat (excepting RV propane fridges, which don't have a cold-side fan and have very uneven temperatures,

Two points: 1. Unless store security catches the thief at the door, many police departments don’t have the resources to track them down. So finding out that you were burgled within a couple days isn’t much better than finding out at a quart

That doesn’t preclude acknowledging the history of the tool.

I was under the impression that the higher dielectric permittivity of soil made it impractical to bury AC transmission lines. Are they switching to DC while they're at it? Is there some other solution? Are the problems caused by hig

So that sounded rather incredible, so I did some fact checking. The Oregon Department of Education's February 2021 newsletter had a six sentence blurb about "A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction". You can read it for your

In my experience, most USB controllers use an 8051 to implement the USB protocol at the level in between the link and URBs.

One of the requirements of radio equipment is that it must not be easily user modifiable to operate on the wrong frequencies. In the past, that has been construed to include where a user could use a soldering iron to replace a resistor. S
