    But sadly no quantity of OPA4322 until into 2023, 1.8 volt CMOS op amp
    with 20 MHz GBW and 10uS slew rate.

    <https://www.mouser.com/c/?q=OPA4322>

    Hmpf! I used that one a lot pre-pandemic, IIRC AD didn't have anything
    near as nice in the low voltage/CMOS department for the price a few
    years back.

    Yes, because there are no units associated with a sample in the
    abstract, the units being those of whatever is being sampled.

    Mathematically, a sample is what one gets when multiplying a function
    of time by a Dirac Delta function.

    I'm not following the thinking. Everyone I've met is comfortable with the MSPS or even just SPS notation. Why is GSPS the odd duck? Why is S not an accepted abbreviation for "samples"? Because it's not an SI unit? Neither is HP, but in very common
    usage.

    If TI introduces, say, one new part per day, can they support them?
    Will they still be in production 10 years from now?

    I tried to get some support for one TI part. The guy said "that's a

    When I was much younger - in the 1970's - TI was known to publish a data sheet before they'd done the detailed design of the part. If it didn't generate enough orders, they didn't bother to complete the design or put it into production. They could be
    waiting to see if *anybody* will order a few million.

    ** A lot of the new parts were described as "automotive".
    Guess that is a a really big market area for such tech lately.

    So designers are specing them for new car designs all over the place.
    Then the expected stock fails to appear.
    Hence the shortage of a great many new cars models - if even just one chip is missing.

    Its a crap 'datasheet' makes no sense whatsoever, maybe some intern training for sales droid made it
    Best of luck with it,
    and you seem to not know the difference between ground penetrating radar and metal coil detectors either.

    Lots of things are common that are wrong, like soem of your postings for example.

    If you have to google what GSPS stands for, you obviously have
    no use for the full data sheet.

    MSPS and GSPS is absolutely common.


    Common and have been that for decades of course. When I designed our
    first HPGe MCA acquisition front end with direct digitizing
    ( http://tgi-sci.com/tgi/hstb.htm ), DSP etc. MSPS was already common,
    that was late 90-s.
    And of course you are right that someone who does not understand the
    term has no use for a complete datasheet, but the lack of a decent
    datasheet (which I did not bother to look at so I just accept it
    is crap from what was said in other posts) speaks a lot about the
    state of the product. Or about the willingness to sell it to
    anyone, things get worse by the day in that respect...

    It has grown into new, seemingly huge proportions but it is not anything
    new.
    Back in 1992/1993 I had designed in a SCSI interface part from a
    catalog (naive beginner), I think the firms was called Emulex
    or something like that.
    When I got the first version of the PCB I had already understood the
    error I had made (the part had never been produced, not even in
    prototype quantities I think); so I had to redesign the board with an NCR53CF96, a real part...
    The first unit ( http://tgi-sci.com/tgi/fr64.gif ) had a huge
    230 megabytes of a 2.5" SCSI HDD inside, which cost me a fortune
    (no www to search for bargains, bought it from Apple at something
    close to $1k IIRC). Shortly after magnetoresistive R/W heads came
    into being, 2.5" SCSI peaked at 810 MB and among other things made
    life easier in terms of magnetic field interference compared to life
    with inductive heads. And forced me into doing ATA, now SATA, into
    further products...

    You are trying to treat this as if it were something akin to SI units. It's nothing like that. It is just an abbreviation, in such common usage that no one with any experience at all should know the usage.

    If you don't want to write what the rest of the world writes, that's fine, but don't expect to never have to read it. That's like wanting to hear "get" instead of "git". When I pay attention, it is surprising how few people say "get". I can say "get"
    all day long and others are not going to change.

    6e9 J. So J is not a convenient unit for electrical stuff. The battery in my car is nominally 360 MJ... I think. Did I do the conversion right? One of the nice features of kWh in my car, is the battery is 100 kWh, making the conversion to/from %
    rather easy.

    Which car? I have the Tesla in the states (mostly at the airport) and a Kia in Puerto Rico. A BEV is not practical in Puerto Rico unless you charge at home and I'm living in Airbnb until I decide where to buy. I'm hoping I have some better choices by
    the time I'm ready to buy a BEV in Puerto Rico. Whatever it is, it has to be small. A big car in Puerto Rico is a PITA! They have narrow lanes and some roads are really narrow.

    Boggling, but worthless, unless you have GHz bandwidth requirements
    in addition to GHz carrier requirements. Aperture time being small
    also gives you GHz noise capability... not sure it's worth examining all

    Flyguy missed the point by a country mile. He doesn't miss many opportunities to remind us how dim and ill-informed he is, but this effort is more comical than most.

    A channel plate multiplier and a streak camera do have a lot of bandwidth, but once you captured a screen's worth of data you have to scan the screen, and digitise and store the result before you can collect another. Unlike Flygyuy, I do know what they
    were, but I'd have to do quite a bit of digging to find out how fast current versions (if they still exist) can collect data or transfer it into mass memory.

    Cambridge Instruments did use a channel plate multiplier in the EBMF 10.5 electron beam microfabricator, but it was used as a thin electron multiplier. It was bit faster than regular photomultiplier tubes but only because the electrons didn't have as
    far to go. The streak camera would have been the quick bit.

    "the user has posted under the same name in other places, so not
    nym-shifting" (Bozo sucks at logic)

    Someone who doesn't suffer fools gladly. Technically speaking, pointing out that somebody has got something grossly wrong is correcting them rather than insulting them, but with Flyguy you have to be very explicit or he won't notice that he has been
    corrected.

    What is the correct notation for giga samples/second?

    I'd go with Gsamples/s. In a sufficiently unambiguous context,

    'Samples' is the only unit without a universally accepted
    abbreviation.

    I'm not following the thinking. Everyone I've met is comfortable
    with the MSPS or even just SPS notation. Why is GSPS the odd duck?
    Why is S not an accepted abbreviation for "samples"? Because it's
    not an SI unit? Neither is HP, but in very common usage.


    Oh, I understand it, but _I_ would write Gsamples/s, Msamples/s, ksamples/s, etc. I'm OK with 'S' for 'samples' if the context
    makes it unambiguous, I already said. I'm _not_ OK with 'S' for
    'seconds'. It should be lower case 's'.
    Come on, MSPS is OK (of course I know you understand it).
    BTW someone pointed me to the fact that I was wrongly using S for
    seconds (had been doing so for ages) just 2-3 years ago, I
    changed since - never too late to mend :-).
    But I keep MSPS, somewhat resisting the temptation to write
    MSPs, it is sort of an old idiom to me.

    I prefer sa/s.

    Nah, from that POV it's no worse than a wideband amplifier. You just
    need to filter afterwards to select the desired bandwidth. It's an
    advantage of very fast sampling that the quantization noise gets spread
    out over a very wide bandwidth so that most of it gets filtered out.

    The main issues with RF sampling are: (1) DSP complexity and (2) phase
    noise. For a fixed-tuned or narrowband application, a single-conversion superhet saves a lot of FPGA resources, clocking hardware, and RTL code.

    There are quite a lot of software-defined radio (SDR) libraries out
    there to reduce the coding burden, but you still need some reasonably hairy-chested hardware to run them on.

    So, how much data does a channel-plate multiplier and streak camera
    output, per second? More, or less?

    A lens will do Fourier transforms with aggregate bandwidths of 1E20 Hz
    for a few bucks, if you can collect the data. (Say 300k pixels times 300
    THz temporal bandwidth.) There's this little problem of collecting it
    all, of course.

    But they can't punt everyone. In the USA at least, people would still
    pay someone for the service and for bandwidth (I guess) so nobody
    would be in charge and someone loses revenue if they lose a customer.

    Capitalism will find a way.

    I'm killing time until a design review, which should be fun. It's a
    Z-series test board with all sorts of mixed experiments for various
    people. New Trion FPGA, my dummy load with the CPU cooler, various
    switching supplies, power resistors and inductors to test in our air
    stream, new tricolor LED, all kinds of stuff.

    I want to test the Trion for pin-pin delays, LVDS electrical details, delay-vs-temp and delay-vs-Ccc_core, jitter, power consumption, things
    like that.

    That's a laugh; Internet range is out to near Earth orbit, and you want your utility meters to compete for that against your TV remote control? One network
    isn't the answer, any more than one TV channel is the answer.

    Maybe bluetooth/WiFi/Cat5 routing is a good thing, though. I want, if possible,
    long-range signals in a wired or fiber network, but a tablet or cellphone is SO convenient.

    It would be nice for things to evolve this way but - and it is a huge
    BUT - the standards need to be public. They are anything but at the
    moment - the layers above IP and perhaps PPP are completely secret.

    Privacy is overrated, as you say - I'd go a step further and say
    privacy will disappear completely before we know, however it has to
    disappear for *everyone*, *zero* exceptions.

    Except that it hasn't. The Linux program illustrates that commercially motivated (and paid for) development isn't the only way to make progress.

    Profit is where you can find it, and if some impractical researcher comes up with a scheme that some entrepreneur can make money out of you can still get progress. Serendipity works.

    Or so Jan Panteltje claims to believe. It's hard to believe he really is that silly.

    Actually in some bats in a cave in China.

    US mini-tary Industrial Complex has dangerous research done in labs they finance all over the world, far away from their own bed.

    The "gain of function" research that Jan deludedly imagines to have lead to Covid-19 was financed by the US health system.

    Backfired in this case, as it did with HIV.

    Or so Jan wants to believe. It's one more lunatic conspiracy theory, even sillier than most of them.

    As you did in Vietnam with Agent Orange, the list is much longer.

    And entirely imaginary.

    As you did in the war Bill Clinton, an other Democrat started in Europe.

    Bill Clinton didn't have anything to do with starting the wars in former Yugoslavia. He did play a part in getting them to stop.

    Biden is not even original.

    Jan is entirely confused.

    I think Putin is merely defending his people.

    If you are as bad at thinking as Jan clearly is, I suppose you could think that. It ought to mean that you need to get checked out by a psychiatrist, but Jan is probably already a certified lunatic nitwit, so they probably don't need to bother.

    Defending? Against what?

    Against what you called quote:

    Ask anybody who is at least as crazy as Jan. There are still lunatic asylums around, so it shouldn't be hard to find a few people as far gone as he is.

    Biden -the one with vacuum bubbles in his brain and his imported slaves- a dictator.

    Right. And the F35's that fly low over Jan's house keep on colliding with pigs that also fly over it. No wonder they don't last.

    That's a laugh; Internet range is out to near Earth orbit, and you want your >utility meters to compete for that against your TV remote control? One network
    isn't the answer, any more than one TV channel is the answer.
    What we have is a mess. Many cell companies have various spotty
    coverage. Ditto cable TV and internet providers. Once people manage to
    get an internet provider, they have to install their own cables and
    wifi. Wires are strung on poles, sidewalks are dug up, dishes point everywhere and rust or get blown away. People pay for multiple
    services.

    And this guy thinks those concerned about climate change are alarmists! "The world is coming to an end! My cable is out!!!"

    Yes you US have a milli-tairy Industrial Complex that killed millions recently

    It started at the lab in china.

    The war ByeThen provoked in Ukraine brings many Ukrainians here
    and hopefully also to the US that have not had shots against measles and other common illnesses
    most of us have been inoculated against.
    Russia is one of the biggest grain producers and now you have to get it elsewhere
    so the poor no longer have bread (more expensive).
    As US seems to try to pester Russia to the maximum
    a good chance that you get nuked and not only by Russia, many may join in, think China, N Korea, who has NO nukes these days?
    Biden with the stuff missing in the ball on his shoulders may indeed trigger WW3.

    ... well, that 'more weapons' thing is in the news, but it happened AFTER Russia attacked.
    As a cause-and=effect theory, that's backward.

    supporting Ukraine in making Donbas its own, the usual CIA shit

    Donbas was invaded, and Ukraine response was relatively mild; as for CIA,
    US intelligence did note that Russia was about to invade Ukraine; isn't that a good
    thing? European wars always spread, the rest of the world HAS to have good intelligence to cope intelligently.

    with shitlensky their sad puppet.

    The 'puppet' word is either a baseless insult, or a bit of propoganda, but not in correspondence with the reality of an elected leader of a democratic nation.

    US does that everywhere:

    If Jan smells excrement everywhere he goes, I know what the source

    This is SED, after all--half the fun is winding up other folks about
    anything they care about. I've been guilty of doing that to Collins
    regarding FORTH, for instance. ;)

    Not everybody here is super careful about confining that sport to topics
    that don't involve suffering and death, unfortunately. But the pieties
    of our various patriotisms are reasonably fair game, ISTM.

    What do you expect of someone following Russian media.
    You won't believe the sort of utter nonsense they pour all the time
    and yes, there are people who do believe it - not because it is not
    laughable, it is of course, but because there are people wanting to
    believe it out of hatred to the US, EU etc.

    Why do so many people hate the US?

    Maybe it's the chinese proverb: If you save someone's life, they will
    hate you forever.

    A lot of USians hate California. They fear that it's as wonderful as
    the rumors suggest. It is.

    Nah, I've lived in California and I dislike it too. It's not the
    individual people, just the plastic ambiance and the relentless brown of
    the vegetation for most of the year.

    Nice enough place to visit, and of course I still have some good friends
    there, which makes it reasonably OK in small-to-medium doses. ;)

    They didn't.

    supporting Ukraine in making Donbas its own,

    Donbas was always part of the Ukraine. It's got a large Russian-speaking population, but the "separatists" campaign seems to have been mostly element of the Russian army posjng as separatist.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_17

    was shot down by a Buk surface-to-air missile launched from pro-Russian separatist-controlled territory in Ukraine. The missile was fired by the 53rd Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade of the Russian Federation and had been transported from Russia on the day
    of the crash, and fired from a field in a rebel-controlled area. The launch system returned to Russia afterwards. It killed 193 Dutch passengers.

    the usual CIA shit with Zelensky their sad puppet.

    The CIA doesn't seem to have had anything to do with it. and Zelensky isn't anybody's puppet.

    <snipped more of the same kind of nonsense>

    Putin has pounded Ukrainian cities to rubble. And created millions of
    refugees. And damaged the food supply to millions in other countries.

    Any you blame the US?

    Why do so many people hate the US?

    Very few people hate the US. People like the late Jim Thompson seemed to think that any suggestion that the US wasn't as entirely perfect as he had been taught in primary school implied an active hatred of the US. John Larkin seems to be just as silly.

    Maybe it's the chinese proverb: If you save someone's life, they will hate you forever.

    Except that the US hasn't "saved anybodies' life". John Larkin seems to think that the US single-handedly won WW2. It lost 416,800 soldiers on the conflict - not much more than the UK which is a lot smaller and lost 383,600. Russia lost between 8,800,
    000-10,700,000 and Germany 5,533,000. The US was a minor participant.

    https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

    The US is at eighteenth on the list of deaths per million inhabitants from Covid-19. It's now at 3051 per million, with 1,020,660 people dead.

    Australia is at 146th with 278, and Japan is at 149th at 235.

    John Larkin isn't all that realistic about the risks he runs.One of the side effects of Covid19 lock-downs is fewer people dead of Covid-19

    ... well, that 'more weapons' thing is in the news, but it happened AFTER Russia attacked.
    As a cause-and=effect theory, that's backward.

    supporting Ukraine in making Donbas its own, the usual CIA shit

    Donbas was invaded, and Ukraine response was relatively mild; as for CIA,
    US intelligence did note that Russia was about to invade Ukraine; isn't that a good
    thing? European wars always spread, the rest of the world HAS to have good >intelligence to cope intelligently.

    with shitlensky their sad puppet.

    The 'puppet' word is either a baseless insult, or a bit of propoganda, but not >in correspondence with the reality of an elected leader of a democratic nation.

    US does that everywhere:

    If Jan smells excrement everywhere he goes, I know what the source
    of that odor is.

    Interesting to perhaps your kind that you fall back in the excrement here.
    But really the 2014 agreement was broken.
    Ukraine was taken from Russia by a revolt.

    Its probably no use arguing with people who have been indoctrinated from birth by US media.
    'US intelligence did note that Russia was about to invade Ukraine'
    ha, and some US news[tissue ;-)]paper announced that prematurely, its just a script,
    written by the puppeteers.

    You have no idea how CIA works.

    But the US Empire is on its return, the IQ is falling, the debt is rising, the infrastructure is collapsing,
    the products are worsening, the crime in increasing, the inflation is rising, the homelessness in increasing
    and you want top EXPORT that to other parts of the world? By FORCE AND OR deceit?
    Come on!

    Nobody wants the US dream ehh NIGHTMARE.

    I have traveled US, lived there, worked there,
    very familiar with California,
    been with the very rich in Malibu and the very poor in Miami,
    the gangs in NY, been in Denver, Atlanta, Portland, east coast Atlantic City, up north to Canadian
    border hiking, living in the wild, probably knew more about the US than
    most hillbillies...
    Been with the blacks picking fruits to make some money, been in hightech making some money,
    been thrown in jail with some Mexicans close to El Paso ...
    The works.
    I have nothing against 'merrica , or its people. But the way it makes wars.
    CIA asked me and I pissed somebody of to hysteria when I refused and told everybody he asked me
    What a place, they should have known me better :-)

    As a cause-and=effect theory, that's backward.

    supporting Ukraine in making Donbas its own, the usual CIA shit

    Donbas was invaded, and Ukraine response was relatively mild; as for CIA, >US intelligence did note that Russia was about to invade Ukraine; isn't that a good

    with shitlensky their sad puppet.

    The 'puppet' word is either a baseless insult, or a bit of propoganda, but not
    in correspondence with the reality of an elected leader of a democratic nation.

    US does that everywhere:

    If Jan smells excrement everywhere he goes, I know what the source
    of that odor is.
    Interesting to perhaps your kind that you fall back in the excrement here. But really the 2014 agreement was broken.

    What 'agreement' in writing and acknowledged by two or more parties
    are you talking about? The taking of Crimea was NOT agreed upon.

    Ukraine was taken from Russia by a revolt.

    Ukraine was detached from the USSR just when Russia was, and not by revolt.
    It was never 'taken from' anyone, or anywhere. The region is self-ruling,
    not owned (or ruled) by neighbors.

    Its probably no use arguing with people who have been indoctrinated from birth by US media.

    That's not your problem, rather it's the lack of historic knowledge and logic that
    makes your postings look like ravings.

    'US intelligence did note that Russia was about to invade Ukraine'
    ha, and some US news[tissue ;-)]paper announced that prematurely, its just a script,
    written by the puppeteers.

    You have no idea how CIA works.

    But it DID work, and its reports through President Biden gave warning that Russian assault
    was imminent. That's a good thing.
    Did you have a credible source elsewhere that told of the recent invasion in advance?

    The US was traditionally isolationist, but was dragged reluctantly into two european wars and forced to defend a bunch of the planet against various genocidal regimes. Not over yet.

    The general population of the US was isolationist - they didn't know much about the rest of the world and didn't really want to know, or worry about, what was going on there.

    People with money in the US have always been interested in the rest of the world. Henry Ford admired Hitler's rabid antisemitism and gave him quite a lot of money early in his political career.

    These sorts of people are quite politically influential in the US, and the real motives that got the US into both world wars was the realisation that they'd lose export markets if the wrong people won.

    Getting the cannon-fodder motivated involved quite a lot of propaganda about defending other people against genocidal regimes, but that wasn't the actual motivation.

    CIA asked me and I pissed somebody of to hysteria when I refused and told everybody he asked me
    What a place, they should have known me better :-)

    Didn't flatter you as enthusiastically as they should have done? They probably figured that the actual offer should have been flattering enough, and didn't put enough effort into telling you how wonderful you would have been as a CIA agent.

    I was just reading this:
    https://www.rt.com/russia/554720-china-us-goals-ukraine/
    that site has the views you should also check, not only what ByeThen and his puppet press spews at you.


    Putin has pounded Ukrainian cities to rubble. And created millions of
    refugees. And damaged the food supply to millions in other countries.

    Any you blame the US?


    What do you expect of someone following Russian media.
    You won't believe the sort of utter nonsense they pour all the time
    and yes, there are people who do believe it - not because it is not
    laughable, it is of course, but because there are people wanting to
    believe it out of hatred to the US, EU etc.

    Why do so many people hate the US?

    Maybe it's the chinese proverb: If you save someone's life, they will
    hate you forever.

    A lot of USians hate California. They fear that it's as wonderful as
    the rumors suggest. It is.


    I think it is sheer envy. Or perhaps they perceive the US as being in
    control of their lives. Might vary from person to person I suppose.
    But those most vocal I have seen are clearly envious, they just hate
    a civilization into which they know they don't have it to be a
    significant part of.
    I remember hating the USSR/Russia while Bulgaria was under its rule
    because I felt being held prisoner - we all were, just some of us
    would not have it, like myself, so I "defected". Clearly this does
    not apply to US haters, nobody is holding them prisoners.

    "From the Halls of Montezuma
    To the shores of Tripoli;
    We fight our country's battles
    In the air, on land, and sea;"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marines'_Hymn#Lyrics

    The Tripoli line dates to 1805, Montezuma to 1847.

    Jefferson sent 3 frigates of the US Navy to the Mediterranean in 1801 to protect US merchant ships. The decision was of doubtful
    constitutionality and resulted in the First Barbary War.

    The Mexican-American War was a result of the US annexing Texas, a part
    of Mexico. Mexico, after achieving independence, unwisely allowed US
    citizens to settle in the area as long as they obeyed the law and
    converted to Catholicism. They did neither and became a breakaway
    province which the US scooped up under 'manifest destiny'.

    Things were relatively quiet after the US tried to destroy itself
    mid-century. By 1898 it had recovered enough to go to war with Spain
    over a falsified event. The outcome was a chain of stepping stones
    across the Pacific to what was anticipated to be a Chinese market ripe
    for exploiting. That led to the Philippines wars and the actions during
    the Boxer Rebellion.

    General Smedley Butler wrote 'War is a Racket' describing his
    experiences making Central America and the Caribbean safe for the United
    Fruit Company starting in 1903.

    Wilson was elected on the slogan 'He Kept Us Out of War'. Not for very
    long. Supposedly a neutral country the US was supplying war materiel to Britain. When the Germans sank the Lusitania, which was carrying
    munitions, it was a convenient casus belli. There was no reluctance.

    FDR went through some amazing machinations to find his casus belli, but
    Japan was finally provoked enough by sanctions and US activity in the
    South China Sea to bite.

    The US has never been isolationist. It played second fiddle to Britain
    until Britain lost its bottle.

    And electron consumption? Don't tell me, N. Joule is the unit of work, consumption is J per meter where a joule is N·m, so J/m is just N.

    It always bugs me that they use kWh for BEVs as it is a bastard unit. Converting to J/m uses a multiplier of 2.24, so at 300 Wh/mi you get 671 J/m or N. Not a bad unit and it becomes 671 kJ/km (still N) which is still workable if a bit awkward to write.
    So rounding off, I shoot to get 700 kJ/km or about 1100 kJ/mi if you must use miles. But no matter how I calculate the consumption, I still pay for electricity by the kWh which is 3.6 MJ.

    The Tripoli line dates to 1805, Montezuma to 1847.

    Jefferson sent 3 frigates of the US Navy to the Mediterranean in 1801 to protect US merchant ships. The decision was of doubtful
    constitutionality and resulted in the First Barbary War.

    Yeah; the 'Barbary pirates' weren't suppressed by more local regimes (England, for instance, needed north African ports to resupply their blockade against Napoleon),
    so got very assertive. Ships and goods weren't safe, and were taken by those pirates, along with their crews and passengers (for ransom, or sold as slaves if they weren't good Moslems). The public was on board with the
    operation, slogan was "Millions for defense, not one cent for tribute".


    The Mexican-American War was a result of the US annexing Texas, a part
    of Mexico.
    ... well, CLAIMED by Mexico, the locals had revolted beforehand,
    without any US assistance.

    Mexico, after achieving independence, unwisely allowed US
    citizens to settle in the area as long as they obeyed the law and
    converted to Catholicism. They did neither and became a breakaway
    province which the US scooped up under 'manifest destiny'.

    ... and because of principles, like freedom of religion

    Things were relatively quiet after the US tried to destroy itself mid-century. By 1898 it had recovered enough to go to war with Spain
    over a falsified event.

    The event (sinking of a battleship) wasn't falsified, it was investigated
    five or six times, with mixed conclusions. Probably it was a mistake, amplified by hysterical press reporting. Falsified implies knowing
    assertions of a non-fact.

    Wilson was elected on the slogan 'He Kept Us Out of War'. Not for very
    long. Supposedly a neutral country the US was supplying war materiel to Britain. When the Germans sank the Lusitania, which was carrying
    munitions, it was a convenient casus belli. There was no reluctance.

    Hell yes, there was reluctance! Lusitania sank in May 1915; Wilson knew that the Black Tom explosion was a German sabotage in summer 1916.
    After the Zimmerman note of January 1917, the US declared war in April 1917.

    How about principles like chattel slavery?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Three_Hundred

    So you go to a colony in a foreign country where slavery is illegal and
    the only recognized religion is Catholicism, knowing both factors
    beforehand, and proceed to whine about freedom of religion? Then you
    revolt and claim independence.

    You want freedom of religion and legal slavery? Stay in Louisiana.

    Ilhan Omar is like Stephen Austin in a burqa except she hasn't gotten to
    the revolt part yet.

    CA -0.8%. NY -1.8. DC -2.8.

    Companies go where they can make more profit, or lose business to
    competitors in cheaper places. Texas, China, Mexico, Ireland.

    Some people find California too expensive, or follow the jobs. That's
    their choice. It is expensive, but people always select what they are
    willing to pay for. The cost of living is low in Alabama, so some
    people move there.

    My nephew is staying with us for a while. He just moved here from
    Madison and found a very nice affordable apartment in a few days, in
    San Mateo. I was kind of surprised. I think the work-from-home thing
    has taken some of the pressure off housing costs.

    Where do you live?

    It was a constituent state. Perhaps 'own' is the wrong word. The US

    If by 'Texans' you mean Austin's Old 300, they were colonists who were
    allowed to settle in Mexico.

    Biden is working hard to fix the Texan problem and return it to par with Mexico.

    Gasoline consumption should properly be expressed in square meters.

    And electron consumption? Don't tell me, N. Joule is the unit of work, consumption is J per meter where a joule is N·m, so J/m is just N.

    Did I do that right?

    It always bugs me that they use kWh for BEVs as it is a bastard unit. Converting to J/m uses a multiplier of 2.24, so at 300 Wh/mi you get 671 J/m or N. Not a bad unit and it becomes 671 kJ/km (still N) which is still workable if a bit awkward to
    write. So rounding off, I shoot to get 700 kJ/km or about 1100 kJ/mi if you must use miles. But no matter how I calculate the consumption, I still pay for electricity by the kWh which is 3.6 MJ.


    E-bike advertisements are the worst! Batteries in AH, or V, anything but
    WHr or kJ. Motors specified in Whr... sigh.

    I missed something. How can a motor be specified in Wh? Watts, yes, but watt-hours? That makes no sense.

    The article spells it out.

    "The picture painted by this population shift is a clear one of people leaving high-tax, high-cost states for lower-tax, lower-cost alternatives."

    If you aren't exploiting the better services offered by higher cost states, it pays you to move out. If you aren't exploiting the services you probably aren't all that productive, so who is going to care?

    What do you expect of someone following Russian media.

    believe it out of hatred to the US, EU etc.
    Why do so many people hate the US?

    Maybe it's the chinese proverb: If you save someone's life, they will
    hate you forever.

    A lot of USians hate California. They fear that it's as wonderful as
    the rumors suggest. It is.

    CA -0.8%. NY -1.8. DC -2.8.

    Companies go where they can make more profit, or lose business to competitors in cheaper places. Texas, China, Mexico, Ireland.

    Some people find California too expensive, or follow the jobs. That's
    their choice. It is expensive, but people always select what they are willing to pay for. The cost of living is low in Alabama, so some
    people move there.

    Eastern Washington State. Our daughter is moving back here from Seattle (after saying she never would) because she can build a brand new house for $600k that would cost $2M+ in Seattle. A golfing buddy recently sold two rental homes in that area, 1200
    and 1500 sq ft, for $1.5M and $1.8M.

    CA is becoming the land of the very poor and ultra-rich - the middle class are running for the hills. If you live in SF you need a poop app to navigate the sidewalks (if you can).

    Slavery was universal throughout recorded history so certainly before
    that. It's not remarkable that the US and England participated in
    slavery. What's remarkable is that they ended it.

    It is true, sort of. The problem was a software interface specification was not followed by a subcontractor. Worse, the testing that should have been done to verify the interface was not done. This problem was nothing like the issue being discussed
    here. It was a systems design failure and the continued use by government contractors of antiquated measurement units.

    You are discussing a simple choice of how to abbreviate a specification term. On any project, this would be standardized, even if the engineering community does not use a consistent term.

    The "wage slaves" got heated homes, cars, refrigerators, electric
    lights, good and reliable food, literacy, affordable clothing, the
    right to vote for their government.

    They could quit any time if someone made them a better offer. They
    could elect to stay in the countryside and struggle to grow enough
    food to get their families through the winter. They could watch their
    kids die young if they didn't want to be exploited.

    The industrial revolution made the average citizen far more productive
    and far better off than any population had ever been.

    Gasoline consumption should properly be expressed in square meters.

    And electron consumption? Don't tell me, N. Joule is the unit of work, consumption is J per meter where a joule is N·m, so J/m is just N.

    Did I do that right?

    It always bugs me that they use kWh for BEVs as it is a bastard unit. Converting to J/m uses a multiplier of 2.24, so at 300 Wh/mi you get 671 J/m or N. Not a bad unit and it becomes 671 kJ/km (still N) which is still workable if a bit awkward to
    write. So rounding off, I shoot to get 700 kJ/km or about 1100 kJ/mi if you must use miles. But no matter how I calculate the consumption, I still pay for electricity by the kWh which is 3.6 MJ.


    E-bike advertisements are the worst! Batteries in AH, or V, anything but
    WHr or kJ. Motors specified in Whr... sigh.

    I missed something. How can a motor be specified in Wh? Watts, yes, but watt-hours? That makes no sense.


    Exactly my point. The people writing these advertisements are not

    The point is, the units of Wh/mi or Wh/km can be turned directly into Newtons. Not sure how to turn any of that into a cross section of an electricity stream. I suppose it could be equated to the gauge of wire that would safely carry the current once a
    voltage is specified. Maybe assume a 240 volt, single phase AC source. But that's still not the same thing. The wire doesn't get consumed.

    For an electric vehicle, maybe the number of AA alkaline cells per mile? For my car, it would be around 80 AA/mi.

    resonated well with that, but I wouldn't give the CIA all the credit.
    A distant friend serving in a military logistics unit had given me many

    The "wage slaves" got heated homes, cars, refrigerators, electric
    lights, good and reliable food, literacy, affordable clothing, the
    right to vote for their government.

    Long after the industrial Revolution got started. The Trade Union movement had something to do with that, and that is definitely post-industrial revolution.
    Universal suffrage, was even slower.

    They could quit any time if someone made them a better offer. They
    could elect to stay in the countryside and struggle to grow enough
    food to get their families through the winter. They could watch their
    kids die young if they didn't want to be exploited.

    Kids died young back then even when their parents were rich.

    https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-in-the-past

    The recent decline in child mortality started quite a while after the industrial revolution got under way. The agricultural revolution had made it possible to grow enough food to feed the factory labourers as well as the agricultural labourers who grew
    it. Canals and then railways got it into the cities.

    The industrial revolution made the average citizen far more productive and far better off than any population had ever been.

    And the agricultural revolution made it possible. Neither happened overnight, and the societies that emerged from the changes that these revolutions made possible were rather different from the ones that even the US started off with.

    To some extent the fact that the US had started off with a reasonably advanced political system put them at a disadvantage because they could get by with smaller changes than - say - the UK. Post-1900 constitutions work better than political arrangements
    that got more or less fixed at earlier dates.

    Germany's 1948 constitution is probably the best around. The French 1956 constitution was devised by de Gaulle to suit himself, and it has it's defects. The French president doesn't have the executive powers of an American president, but the position is
    still more powerful than it ought to be.

    What US did in Iraq (false 'weapons of mass destruction' claim) -> total destruction
    use depleted Uranium ammo, what you did in Afghanistan (targeting civilians with drones),
    what you did in Vietnam (Agent Orange), etc etc
    Oh and what you did in Japan targeting civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, well the list is sooo long.
    Your little high-rise is insignificant compared to all that.
    The tide is now turning, the more I think about it the more nu-cu-lear becomes likely
    Everybody and their cat has now nukes, there are other weapons too you have never heard of.

    Any luck with those new transistors?
    I bought a LNB in year 2000, still using it in a sat dish,
    it has seen temperatures from about -30 C to ??? very hot with the sun directly on it
    It has seen St Elmo's fire, and it is still very low noise with good frequency stability.
    Wonder how those transistors will react to such environments.

    Of what? A regime, not a nation. That regime had mass graves before the US arrived,
    used chemical weapons against its own citizens.

    use depleted Uranium ammo,

    Yeah, against tanks. So, there's a few ounces of toxic dust residue; not a big problem,
    compared to the explosive ammo also in the damaged vehicle. It's
    an oddball kind of weapon, but not a remarkable one.

    what you did in Afghanistan (targeting civilians with drones),

    Target selection at a distance is not perfect. It's the nature of the weapon, and not a policy, nor a war crime.

    what you did in Vietnam (Agent Orange), etc etc

    Killed weeds? Again, not remarkable.

    Oh and what you did in Japan targeting civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki,

    Targets for area weapons are always... areas. Can't ever exclude collateral casualties. Lusitania had civilians aboard, but... that, too, isn't a war crime.

    well the list is sooo long.

    And, it's a list of PRATT, points-refuted-a-thousand-times.

    We have compatible, competitive TV and cell phone and internet
    networks. It's not hard.

    Well I've spent thirty years on standards, and actually it *is* hard.
    Not to mention glacial.

    While the government can push for standards, absent a real shooting
    war, the pleas will generally fall on deaf ears. With a shooting war,
    there are usually large procurement contract on offer, and time is of
    the essence.

    Whitworth Screw Threads are a classic example.

    .<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Standard_Whitworth>

    And it doesn't happen until at least a few big companies decide that
    they will gain far more from a standard than (bigger total pie) they
    will gain from no standard (my pie is smaller, but I have it all).

    Once there is a standard, other companies are eventually forced to
    comply.

    Nor does maturity and interoperability just happen. Taking Ethernet
    as the example, the industry supports and independent test facility
    and lab at the University of New Hampshire where various vendors
    connect into big "plugfests" where prototypes are cobbled into a
    network and the whole system is integrated. And even so, it usually
    takes two major revisions of a new standard to achieve reasonable
    maturity.

    This is done under the aegis of a de-jure standards development
    organization (like the IEEE) for exception to anti-trust statutes that
    would otherwise forbid such things.

    .<https://www.iol.unh.edu/>

    But the dark secret of the standards world is that 90% of all
    standards fail in the market.

    There is no such thing as a Russian empire. Russia has a
    gross national product the size of Italy, and Italy needed
    loans from the EU in the previous years. Plus Russia needs
    twice as many people as Italy to reach this rank. Lives
    from selling mineral resources / gas, like black Africa.

    Just like the "Scheinriese" of the Augsburg puppet box.
    The closer you come, the more the giant shrinks.


    All that Russia has is some nukes, and with their track
    record from the cold war, half of them don't exist and
    another quarter is probably defunct, because the money for
    keeping them operational trickled into the kleptocracy.
    Just note the excellent performance of their tanks.

    It's got quite a lot fewer tanks, planes, helicopters and soldiers than it had when it started trying to invade the Ukraine. It may still have the same number of nukes, but it won't if it tries to use any of them.

    First there is diversity for security
    if your one for all thing is down, nothing works.
    Then there are radio frequencies like used by aircraft, ships,
    and other services that have totally different requirements.
    Use the best system for the required purpose and frequency.

    You are just dreaming. Mindless babble, no in depth knowledge, no experience. US itself always wants to be 'different' we came with DVB-T for terrestrial,
    US wanted ATSC.
    Market protection really, same way other way around, we had PAL but France wanted Secam.
    PAL was better (and better than NTSC).

    Over-standardization, forcing things by law, like EU now does force Apple(and I am no Apple fan)
    to give up whats it called they have for some USB connector hinders innovation.

    Once your same for all system is in place that is like pouring you in concrete :-)

    It was hard (took legislation) to get phones unlocked, but your phones are still unlikely to

    What we deem impossible is just what we are unable to do at the current

    Make no sense whatsoever.
    First there is diversity for security
    if your one for all thing is down, nothing works.

    A microcell mesh can have redundancy at all levels. It would be better
    than a mess of various services.


    Then there are radio frequencies like used by aircraft, ships,
    and other services that have totally different requirements.

    The RF spectrum is chopped up amongst many services. A common band
    would be much more efficient.


    Use the best system for the required purpose and frequency.
    Make sure there is redundancy.
    You are just dreaming. Mindless babble, no in depth knowledge, no experience.

    Why do so many people refuse to imagine progress? 100 years ago you
    would have refused to believe that there could ever be TVs or
    computers.

    I think things are possible. Some people insist that things are
    impossible. It's more likely that I'm right.

    John Larkin has an exaggerated idea of his own expertise. So do a lot of the people who insist that stuff is impossible.

    I don't think humans have the capacity to imagine the impossible.

    But that's a basic part of electronic design, imagining things that haven't been done, or can't be done.

    There's a big gap between imagining things that haven't been done - the unexpected - and imagining things that can't be done - the impossible.

    The first gets you patents - and I've got a couple (while John Larkin has his name on one) and the other is a great way of getting stuck with a project that can't be made to work. I had to work quite hard to get myself out of one of them

    Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

    It's probably not a particularly useful mental exercise.

    1. Imagining impossibilities exercizes the imagine muscles.

    2. Sometimes a great idea is out in the solution space hiding among
    impossible ideas. Go poke around out there.

    3. Rejecting new ideas is endemic to humanity, for several reasons.
    Fight that tendency if you want to design cool stuff.

    4. Respect one or two solid conservation principles, but otherwise
    mock "good engineering practice."

    5. Doodle a lot. Paper is cheap.

    I don't think humans have the capacity to imagine the impossible.

    But that's a basic part of electronic design, imagining things that
    haven't been done, or can't be done.

    But neither of those categories is 'impossible'.

    There's many uses of imagination, but fewer for imagining impossibilities. >The most important, the reductio ad absurdam proof, is ... not so >important that most people would recognize the phrase.

    1. Imagining impossibilities exercizes the imagine muscles.

    There aren't any. Absurd analogies aren't in the least useful.

    2. Sometimes a great idea is out in the solution space hiding among impossible ideas. Go poke around out there.

    Don't be silly.

    3. Rejecting new ideas is endemic to humanity, for several reasons.
    Fight that tendency if you want to design cool stuff.

    "Not invented here" isn't a good attitude. Objecting to other people's new ideas, even if the other people are part of the same organsiation, does happen quite a lot too. Quite a few people do think that their own ideas are insanely good, and reject
    anything that anybody else comes up with because it competes with their brain children.

    Quite a few people have quite a few new ideas, none of which are ever any good. When I worked at EMI Central research, one of our colleagues made more patent applications per year than anybody else. None of them seemed to turn into patents. When I was
    working there I had what struck me as fairly obvious idea. After a number of people had told me that it couldn't possibly be right, and I'd repeatedly had to go to the trouble of explaining why it couldn't possibly be wrong, we turned it into a patent
    application (and - in due course - a patent). There were a couple of others, but we got to them rather more conventionally.

    Making a fuss about whether an idea is "new" isn't a useful way of spending your time. Worrying whether it will work is much more useful.

    4. Respect one or two solid conservation principles, but otherwise mock "good engineering practice."

    Not a good idea. Do try to understand why people did things that way in the past, but keep in mind that new approaches don't have to work the same way as the old one did.

    5. Doodle a lot. Paper is cheap.

    Calculate a lot. Computer time is pretty cheap too, and you can be a bit more rigorous with computer models than you can with pencil scribbles.

    If you are as under-informed as John Larkin is , you can be a lot more optimistic. The woods are full of people reinventing the wheel and concocting media releases about how it is going to revolutionise the world after they get around to inventing spokes

    The concept had been around for a long time.

    https://www.olympus-global.com/technology/museum/endo/?page=technology_museum

    Glass tubes were also used to illuminate tight spots. Developing the
    technology to create bundles of very thin fibers was the trick.

    A lot of ideas are like that. The concept of an airplane had to wait for relatively lightweight IC engines to happen.

    There was a cool monorail sort of ride.

    Now for cool monorails -- in the early 1900's some people were working
    on a monorail with gyroscopic stabilization. The big problem was each
    car would need a gyroscope.

    The idea never took off in the US. Other countries have impressive
    systems including maglev designed. Most US monorails are basically
    tourist attractions like Seattle, the Disney parks, Jacksonville, and
    Las Vegas. Detroit's is much more expensive per passenger mile than buses.

    I don't think the people mover at the Detroit airport qualifies as a
    monorail. It's never been operating when I was there unfortunately.
    Invariably my connections are between the two furthest apart gates.

    But they can't punt everyone. In the USA at least, people would still
    pay someone for the service and for bandwidth (I guess) so nobody
    would be in charge and someone loses revenue if they lose a customer.

    Capitalism will find a way.

    Dictatorship outranks capitalism.
    Dictators, like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Putin, think they understand
    everything and then want to control everything. They kill hundreds of millions.

    "Capitalism" really means pluralism, letting lots of sane and crazy
    people try things to see what actually works.

    Despite believing their own folly, dictators still outrank capitalism. Hence dictatorships are poorer.

    It ran from 1988 to 2013, only got about 40% of the customers it had been designed for and never broke even.

    Putting back the original tram lines would have been cheaper and would have served more travellers.

    That's a laugh; Internet range is out to near Earth orbit, and you want your
    utility meters to compete for that against your TV remote control? One network
    isn't the answer, any more than one TV channel is the answer.
    What we have is a mess. Many cell companies have various spotty
    coverage. Ditto cable TV and internet providers. Once people manage to
    get an internet provider, they have to install their own cables and
    wifi. Wires are strung on poles, sidewalks are dug up, dishes point everywhere and rust or get blown away. People pay for multiple
    services.

    One uniform microcell mesh system would eliminate all that.

    Imagine progress.

    History consistently teaches us that one system means lack of competition or investment equals worse service.

    Thatcher managed to come up with a counter-example. Her privatised British Rail skimped on maintenance (and killed a few people in consequence) and generally delivered a poorer service. Natural monopolies work better as publicly owned public services, as
    has been known since Victorian times. Thatcherites ignored the history and did a Putin-like job of giving previously publicly-owned assets to their friends for nowhere near enough money.

    Bus systems move rather fewer passengers per driver, and you can get many more people on and off a train in thirty seconds than you can with a bus.
    For some reason, trains have a lot more door per unit length than a bus does, and it is easier to step off onto a platform than it is to step up into a bus, or down again to get off it

    Train, trams. and light rail can shift a lot more people along the same area of track as a bus system.

    You were deliberately joking? You didn't signal it all that well.

    This is about INTRAURBAN transit; real estate for more roads (or surface rail) is
    completely unavailable, but the inner cities need traffic to flow.

    So, tracked vehicles are added either in tunnels, or overhead.
    Neither of those solutions works well for individual passenger cars.

    (there's HUGE lateral cable-tension loads in a funicular). A
    dovetail monorail is practical and less derail-able than standard twin-track.

    Huh? To the best of my knowledge, the monorail here in Seattle has had some cars in need of maintenance, but the track has been in continuous use since half a century ago. For mechanical stability, classic two-track rail allows derailment,
    but a monorail on a dovetail track cannot lift off (though it can still be removed in a
    maintenance bay). The suspension of a train depends critically on track spacing, the
    suspension of a monorail has lots of allowed variation (wide tires) and lower contact forces (rubber on concrete, not steel-on-steel). Track maintenance for
    concrete... well, the Pantheon is made of concrete.

    Not at all a fan of monorails, they have all kinds of problems. Just
    pointing out that your statement assumed the train rides on top of a
    rail. Not that much extra strength is needed to support a rail it can
    hang from, and if you use one pillar each side, you can still run a road underneath

    I only rode BART once back in the '80s but it seemed rather nice
    compared to NYC or Boston. Boston's Green Line is the oldest subway in
    the US and it looks it.

    The local bus company is phasing in electric buses.

    https://mountainline.com/introduces-new-electric-buses

    One of these days I'll have to go for a ride. They're zero fare so it
    will be a cheap date. I've got to admit I'd rather be behind one of them
    on a motorcycle than the aging diesel models. For me, the problem is
    getting into town. If I arrive by car, motorcycle, or bicycle there's
    little incentive to switch to a bus.

    Teslas in Tunnels.

    Boring emphasizes speed but needs gigabuck tunnels to get that speed.
    It probably won't happen.

    Most public transport emphasizes giant vehicles, like 20-car BART
    trains with a few hard-to-access stations. Public transport tends to
    emphasize bigness, to trade latency for speed.

    I can drive to work in 12 minutes or spend an hour or more on public
    transit. Just waiting for a giant BART train on the platform kills
    about 12 minutes.

    San Francisco used to have hundreds of private jitneys that would pick
    people up and drop them off everywhere. The city outlawed them to
    force people onto gigabuck public transport full of union labor.

    Following that reasoning, we'd expect funiculars for intraurban
    transit.

    Do tell. Cable suspension and all those towers are cheaper than train >>>> tracks? And funiculars are as fast as trains?

    The rigid elevated systems use less airspace than a guyed tower
    (there's HUGE lateral cable-tension loads in a funicular). A
    dovetail monorail is practical and less derail-able than standard
    twin-track.

    Most derailments are caused by maintenance failures, IIRC. With the
    same standard of maintenance, your dovetail gizmos are less likely to >>>> fail, and/or easier to repair?

    Don't think so.

    I think our underground systems, MUNI and BART, should tear up their
    tracks and pave the tubes and run electric busses in them.

    Isn't that Elon Musk's idea? The Boring Company.


    Teslas in Tunnels.
    Boring emphasizes speed but needs gigabuck tunnels to get that speed.
    It probably won't happen.

    Most public transport emphasizes giant vehicles, like 20-car BART
    trains with a few hard-to-access stations. Public transport tends to emphasize bigness, to trade latency for speed.

    I can drive to work in 12 minutes or spend an hour or more on public
    transit. Just waiting for a giant BART train on the platform kills
    about 12 minutes.

    San Francisco used to have hundreds of private jitneys that would pick
    people up and drop them off everywhere. The city outlawed them to
    force people onto gigabuck public transport full of union labor.

    Bring back the electrobats!
