I honestly prefer Firefox forks that switch off all the telemetry.

Mozilla recently becomes more and more greedy in terms of breaking down privacy.

The bitter fact that we all have to swallow: higher management isn't interested in scientific facts.

Theoretically yes.

Practically almost all people got highly manipulated into having no hobby's or interests in their free time. They will find no use for a 4 day week not will they see any advantages.

(Hierarchical) Kanban boards.

They are most efficient tool I've met in 20 years.

Galileo offers cryptographic protection (OSNMA) of their positioning data. So not spoofable. For free.

There are enough space radars so that you can passively listen to the reflections of almost every satellite.

Just pointing to the Graves Radar in France whose frequency and beam pattern is precisely known to the public.

I'm a surf photographer and rely on my camera automatics a lot. They are allowed to move freely within defined limits.

99% of my pictures are technically fine.

I only use full manual if the picture job needs it.

Most of the time setting the aperture is enough (and the camera allows to set the exposure time and ISO automatically, but set limits which to automatics is not allowed to cross). On the other side action/sport photography is mostly shutter time bound - then the other side around.

Showing graphs without relations is an old trick.

So my question: how's the industrial production of Europe or even then all western countries over that timespan using the same metrics?

> But, I guess, it takes unbelievable amount of loyalty/patriotism to stay when you're offered so much..

Just offer them remote work and they are gone, lol.

> I don't know how they're still in business.

They have 400 GBit/s of DTAG transit.

Showing that they are rich as fuck without saying it.

It's 2024.

Cheap access to powerful FPGAs is available now.

Either go with this Sipheed GoWin FPGA boards or get one of these recycled Bitcoin miner controller boards (Zynq 7010) or reverse engineered LED controllers from ColorLight/Linsn which use a Spartan/Lattice.

Because there are a lot of fraudsters.

With social skills and salesmanship, you can never have delivered top-class work even after 15 years as a developer.

Quite a few people know how to "play the game". That's pretty easy if your superiors have no idea about software development themselves.

It's actually not. It has been shown that you can get extremely good Leetcode ratings by systematically learning their 15-20 most used patterns. This can be done easily in a sort time span. Guides how to achieve this can be found on Reddit.

Same happens to students if they start to memorize old training exams systematically. They exploit that professors and their assistants will recycle/adapt a decent amount of old questions. Doing this is cheap in terms of effort compared trying to understanding everything.

Of course people that succeed in LC tests will defend it. Gatekeeping is a natural response.

That's reason why we stopped using it and spent much effort in eliminating any possible preparability. You get highly qualified pattern matching monkeys if you offer them the stuff they are trained for.

Reddit is drowning in bots.

But for a lot of problems still the best source for potential solutions.

>OK, say constant operation at room temperature indoors.

Suddenly a wild humidity change appeared.

You must spend a lot of time defining your environmental parameters.

100 years in a 100% controlled environment is easy.

Meaning: you are missing a lot of variables in your game that will mess with your plans.

So spend some times and do requirements engineering on an abstract level. Then select the techniques to solve them.

API for central management of APs. And a server instance to do this.

The magic of the military GPS codes are AFAIR the extremely broad signals and use quasi non-repetitive codes. It's very difficult to jam and spoof.

Galileo HAS service is free for anyone to use.

A smart move from China would then to sanction delivery of all R/L/C/D components to US that cost less than a cent.

The US tech industry would starve within a week by running out of components.

Every PCB is having hundreds if not thousands of them. And no industry in the west is able to build then in the required amount and quality.

> Or when they built their own GPS system and it ended up being far more accurate than any other system in use?

It actually is. But yes - that project was a shitshow for a long time.

Galileo HAS now offers 30cm accuracy with less than 100s convergence time not needing additional correction servers/stations.

Also spoofing resistant thanks to cryptographic signing (Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication).

Both free for use. Forever. Classic GPS doesn't offer this.

I see - it already can reply with a 404!

Didn't Israeli students show that you can recover audio from the vibrations of bulb filament with a fast photo diode?

I'd test that with a CCD line sensor plus a wide aperture lens and reading it out with 8kHz. Then you have 128 audio pixels that can cover an entire city.

Beamforming is standard in modern conference room gear. It's being used for making a video focus on the active speaker and optimizing his audio.

Have a look at the "Meeting Owl" for example.

It works great up to a limit (around 5m) then you will need additional microphones closer to the speaker.

If somebody wants to play around with Zynq 7010's - have a look at the EBAZ4205 board. They can be bought from Aliexpress (20-30€). These are former Bitcoin Mining controllers.

Some people reverse engineered the entire thing. It can be found in GitHub. And there's an adapter plate available for getting to the GPIOs.

For a less complex entry there are also Chinese FPGAs ("Sipeed" boards which use a GoWin FPGA. They are quite capable and the IDE is free.

A similar technique is very popular in industrial automation to spot leaks in compressed air pipes and their connections from far away. These leaks are extremely loud in the ultrasonic range. It's overlayed with a camera picture.

That's ultra expensive gear.

For servers there are passive cooled n100 variants on Aliexpress with multiple Intel i226 2.5GE network interfaces. We benchmarked them - they are able to serve line rate on all interfaces with a few routing/firewall routes. We bunkered a few of them in case we have a serve emergency situation - this allows us to setup infrastructure in zero time.

The next bigger variant (n305) is getting too hot - but at that point I'd start looking into variants which use an AMD notebook CPU.
