    In theory, yes, but that's not how policing works. From personal knowledge of the UK setup, the goals are twofold, mass surveillance plus auto-revenue-generation (intended to raise…

    Is this company asking you to do things for them by any chance? The only time I've seen anything like this was when they were leeching free consultancy for a problem they were unab…

    If this is the behavior when they are trying to play nice and supposedly recruit you, you can guarantee it will be much, much worse to work for them. Move on as quickly as possible…

    I worked on air quality monitoring about 30 years ago and the equipment used a Kalman filter to remove measurement noise and give stability; it had been added to the software a num…

    My experience is that invariably results in "development by veto". Each prototype they say that's not what I want, give me something else (that I'll fail to describe just like the …

    Just 1 or 2 transistors you say? Link to a circuit diagram (or even an ASCII art reply) greatly appreciated - sounds like a fun way to spend an afternoon or an evening.

    (For those met with the paywall https://archive.is/qN2YV ) Really reads like US employment practice meets EU (IE) employment law. In this particular case, the EU employee won despi…

    A question for a doctor for sure. But Wikipedia has a long article on Hepatotoxicity[0] and that suggests discontinuation of the drugs involved can allow the liver to heal (if disc…

    The Latin morbus is disease and mortis is [of] death but my experience - and perhaps yours too - is that when discussions of morbidity (i.e. using the word morbid/morbidity) arise,…

    Varies, generally difficult for me in SW Ontario though with some occasional impressive 25MHz propagation with RS59 subject to heavy QSB. But I cannot rely on it for setting a cloc…

    OK, honest feedback - not to be confused with criticism: You've done a lot of work and I hope the app got your French up to speed to satisfy Quebec! Watch out for "you have such a …

    The issue here is the frequency used plus power and spurious out of band emissions. 'FM Radio' (really 150KHz wide FM modulated 88-108Mhz) has propagation generally limited to line…

    The UK lost the records of around 4M (of 6.5M) 1st World War personnel during the London blitz in 1940. The remaining records are available via the UK Records Office, despite being…

    In Ontario the published rates also omit the 'delivery' fees and additional charges added on top (per kWh) which are unavoidable. The real rate actually paid is typically double th…
