1 million profit, while they have 3 million negative cashflow, that's exactly the problem. They can only take 20% of that 5 million in R&D investment as depreciation in the first year.

Some technical issues that seem to be fuckups by the author and a vague complaint about a grant from Horizon that also funds some not so privacy friendly things. Guilty by association or something. I see no reason at all in this post to avo

Dead reckoning based on heading and time alone, but if you have a good INS it's not affected by wind only by accuracy of the gyroscopes/sensors. Current systems drift by about 0.5 miles per hour. And that's normal commercial

Around that certain point you can also talk to AWS or GCP and get very significant discounts. I'm surprised 37signals and AWS didn't find a number that worked for both. I've seen a few of these deals with other vendors up clo

Is that legal? This would be a clear GDPR violation in Europe. You could probably argue a legitimate interest if you're collecting face recognition data on proven hooligans, but scraping pictures of people that have not been to your ve

Sure, but that's because they don't understand the bigger picture. The UK with Brexit is a good example. The majority of the voters believed it was a good idea, due to campaigns not really based on facts. Now they're all angr

From a game theory perspective for Europe the best policy is to agree to destroy all of humanity before accepting Russian control of Europe. Then the Russians can decide whether they still want to try and the US can decide between being col
