Sadly the OT networks are 100% trusting of any device on the network. With Schneider plcs any device on the OT network can write to any addressed memory register over modbus - it’s like direct memory access DMA. I hope that one day every de

It is truly disappointing that even after the diamond princess example in February 2020 that easy airborne transmission wasn’t accepted. I can’t fathom why after all this time n95 masks were mandatory for health care workers but it was simp

The whole automation industry is a security disaster but it is because security isn’t part of the deliverables for any party. It isn’t in the specs, civil, mechanical, electrical engineers it isn’t their responsibility. If the owner has an

If the management console has a button or controls that would allow the person sitting at the management console to shut down the pipeline, which systems usually do have an emergency stop button in case there is an accident, then all you ne

The code I write is going to be used for 20-30 years, and then when the platform is replaced I assume someone will read the code to see what they have to do to get the system working on the new platform. I have documentation for end-users a

Eventually you might master your domain of expertise and solving the same problem again and again for different customers may become boring. Helping more junior coworkers mostly do the projects themselves with your assistance for the cruxes

Canada used to count Avro and Bombardier in their aerospace industry. We used to have Nortel and blackberry as leaders in telecommunications. We can have our own industry for X and we can be competitive world leaders in it.

Not only are Toyota’s more reliable in the long run, they have fewer defects out of the factory, fewer lemons, and because of this reputation they don’t depreciate as quickly. I am going to get a new Tacoma every 2 years because I can sell

Which is pretty much impossible if you let people have the physical cars. They will report their speed to other cars, they will measure their speed from pulses generated by something rotating on the vehicle, replace rotating thing with your

Astronomy will only be possible from satellites that are further away from earth than all the LEO satellites. I’m not convinced the squeeze is worth the juice. Starlink wasn’t necessary, there are/were alternatives. Hopefully it forces

I wonder what parallels can be drawn to the mining industry which is also very boom and bust due to cyclical nature of commodities prices and the lead time in bringing new supply to market

Maybe it is the same as using a similar plot, but with 0.4% of code lines being the same I think the analogy doesn’t carry through to using a script word for word.

Imagine how overbuilt and under utilized a communications network would have to be in order for it to work the same way people imagine solar and wind power can be transported across the country. Networks offer the best return on investment

In British Columbia Canada we are building a 1000 MW hydro plant called site C for 10-12 billion. We have been doing studies on the site for 30+ years and it will be 10 years construction time by the time it is finished. Nuclear looks prett

What’s your point other than people generally sell large projects with a low up front number and it ends up being higher. Investors don’t get the 3-4x return they wanted and have to settle for 2x. Or it takes longer to pay itself back. Sola

It is unfortunate you included the last paragraph in your comment as the rest of the comment seemed legitimate, but the issue in Texas had nothing to do with renewables, they were not scheduled to meet much of the system demand and the caus

I guess not, but when two or three projects come in at the 10 billion cad mark it’s a pretty good sign that’s our cost to build. Not necessarily unique to hydro - we might have high cost to build anything

In British Columbia they are building a 1000 MW hydro plant that is going to cost 10-12 billion. Similar story at muskrat falls in Labrador. Large projects are just expensive now. Nuclear would be competitive with either of these hydro proj

Economically uncompetitive compared to solar/wind 500% overbuilt? How many hours storage have to be added to the solar / wind to make a ccs gas plant competitive?
