I've been told that acceptable software margins are around 75%. Hardware focused yields closer to 20%-40%. Hence why there is such a strong push towards software-only.

I fly to germany when I can, or take any other operator's train. I am way, way more familiar with Karlsruhe than I would like to be.

The purging has really picked up pace in the last couple of years, and I think a major highlight will be the upcoming cleansing of Place de la Concorde.

Taxis in Australia, like many other places, used to abuse their customers. Uber truly made a difference; these days, Uber may represent questionable value in Australia, but at the very minimum they managed to change the behaviour of an enti

Have worked at both, Airbus pays worse but has a much better engineering culture. Also arguably, because of the location(s) the quality of the engineers is quite high despite the pay as they can afford a pretty good lifestyle. Airbus also f

A propos the likeness point, a question to get people's opinions. What is the difference between your skills today which lead to earning potential and an actor's likeness which gives the actor more rights to a continued income str

Same reason why the car industry encountered chip shortages, despite there being plenty of chips. They don't want to have to go through the time and expense of re-certifying everything due to all of the red tape. As a result, you end u

Our connectivity to mars is on the order of 12kbps, presumably better for the moon. My other question would be whether this is due to the need to radiation harden stuff? We were developing for what effectively was equivalent to an arduino i

They probably do this because they don't want anything committed to text. It still doesn't excuse it, but yeah, they're doing that intentionally. At a minimum they should say "this is not something you've done wrong

My understanding of this technology was it was usually a hash or fingerprint of some form of the material, to be compared against a database of hashes of known-bad material. I doubt EU countries have the infrastructure or budget to run mode

Lots of French employers will ask for multiple months of pay slips so they can screw you in pay negotiations.

I now have ads on my expensive Samsung. Teaches me right for not heeding the advice and getting as dumb a TV as possible. I should not need to run a PiHole to deal with this.

For context, there is a completely different plant affectionately known as "bushman's toilet paper" (an example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachyglottis_repanda ). It grows more or less in the same pl

Airbus seems to use ADA mainly for drone software. Everything else is MISRA C, or MISRA C with a layer of abstraction overlaid that allows for generation of assembly from the same codebase as well.

So can we assume that companies touched by In-Q-Tel are compromised to the same level as Crypto AG was? I'd like to collate a list.
