In Shenzhen for a tech meeting. The streetscape is quieter, despite high traffic levels and I hear not only MORE birdsong, but the birds do more complex songlines. The air is clean…

I really want Europe to succeed but I keep thinking the tpm/trust zone keys are going to be a killer here. We need something akin to DNSSEC key ceremonies, combined with the CAB fo…

It would seem passing strange that Gentry Lee came up with all the awful bits and the consulting oversight didn't.

Nothing in this thread makes me feel I should change my mind but de gustibus and all that.

You need a mechanism which forms interference fringes. Chocolate blooms, so you might be able to etch the bloom. Otherwise, it's skim an edible oxide layer over the chocolate to et…

The history behind vU meters is also fascinating. People used to calibrate off the BBC techs, or off American techs. No BIPM, no SI units: what the BBC say.

Good ideas never die!
