https://codeplug.org - use modern web platform features with historically stable, open-source drivers (CHIRP) to program channels into amateur radio equipment (a web-based CPS).

A web harness for another open source project (CHIRP) which lets you program channels into all kinds of handheld radios (HAM).

muggles will look at matrix multiplication and say it's magic
Mikrotik does this for some of their parts as well

Program your amateur radio via the web. Uses pyiodide + chirp drivers under the hood + WebSerial.

I'm putting together something to program Anytone AT878 DMR radios for amateur radio use using a web browser.

Use a solid state relay with esphome.

Use AI to write anything and you become confined to whatever "moral code" the model has been taught to follow. Once a critical mass is reached, whoever controls these models, will control what is being said.
The reason why they provide it, is because everyone expects it. The reason everyone expects it, is because it was "cool" and an ecosystem grew around it. I use AWS ECS and it's really really good and easy to understand.
Re:Intel SGX Protects German Electronic Patient Records on Monday September 06, 2021 @07:58AM (#28432824)
Sounds like something massively over-engineered and sold to the government by a consultancy. Intel loves this because it puts the client's data in a cage which is locked from the inside, and they must keep buying servers with Intel chips no matter what.
This is how you deal with an existential threat to USD.
Re:Could a four-day working week become the norm? on Friday July 09, 2021 @05:17AM (#27781844)
The original paper describes that the reduction in working hours has forced the workforce to develop a more efficient way of working. Thus, they have accomplished what should have been accomplished with having better management from the get go.

Given this is the government we're talking about - it isn't really that surprising, is it? They could have reduced the workforce by 20% and accomplished a similar result, while reducing costs.

I should have stayed in the Bay Area and followed up on WhatsApp and Instagram.
Re:China allows couples to have three children on Monday May 31, 2021 @08:35AM (#27343416)
Who will want to have more kids, now that everyone was born a single child and has two parents to take care of?
Unfortunately the procurement rules currently in place prevent procurement personnel evaluating a tender from taking into account any prior performance. I'm unsure whether this is a result of EU legislation and common market rules, or whether it is just the UK.

Does it make sense to 3D print these parts rather than injection-mould them?

It would have been a lot easier if everyone in Europe spoke the same language, like they do in the US+Canada.

You should check out teller.io - they let you have "an API to your bank account"

The Guardian uses clickbait just like any other site. Those ads aren't going to display themselves.
Re:We Need to Nationalise Google, Facebook and Amazon on Wednesday August 30, 2017 @04:11AM (#15130498)
So currently, you have a choice not to use google/fb/amazon. If they were to be nationalized (a truly silly idea), you may lose that choice.

Of course not.
Re:Teller – API for your bank account on Thursday June 22, 2017 @05:01AM (#14610954)
This has already happened and no one batted an eyelash. Why?Because, Orange is French and T-Mobile is German.
Re:Teller – API for your bank account on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @04:10PM (#14607440)
Nope. They just need to provide "an API". Got a hundred banks? That's potentially 100 integrations you'll need to do - the barriers remain in place an everyone is happy.
Re:Teller – API for your bank account on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @04:04PM (#14607392)
http://ec.europa.eu/transparency/regdoc/rep/10102/2016/EN/SW... - see page 32 (ARRPU). Operators in different countries have different profits per user (obvious). If you have someone like T-Mobile or Orange, they'll use the proceeds from say... France, to finance their operations in say... Poland. This will put pressure on other national operators to further lower prices. Lower prices mean lower profit margins, mean lower dividends, lower company valuation, being less attractive to investors, etc. After a while their value will decline by so much, they'll be willing to sell themselves at the current going price of their infrastructure. Orange buys them, and kills off competition.
