Treat Facebook like both and apply all the telco and content regulations to them. One of the key principles in telco regulation is ensuring any-to-any connectivity. It is now established in most jurisdictions that…
The author has extrapolated their experience in (at most) a handful of airports to the general case. One of the first projects I was given as a junior engineer was to measure signal strengths of our and competitor…
I went through this fairly early in my career. I think the career impact is more severe than a mother taking maternity leave (and without the legal protections). Apart from explaining the gap in employment, there is a…
I'll stick with a Torrens Title system over a digitised version of the old chain of title approach.
Joshua Gans (my old economics Prof) did a study of births by day of week, and showed that the fall in weekend births was explainable by the rise in inducement and cesarean section procedures.…
The telecoms research company I used to work for has decided to get into the business of writing "white papers" for Huawei that are not far removed from this piece of "tech journalism". Good for short term revenues, but…
From the article, it sounds like the surgeons are already well aware of the risk from improper cleaning, but don't care enough to push for a systemic solution, instead relying on "workarounds" when it is their own…
We are moving towards a state where technology will allow us to punish every infraction every time, automatically and at low marginal processing cost. I expect that rebalancing the punishments to match the new…
Being a doctor also carries much greater social respect (partially linked to the pay aspect). I expect this social respect gap has eroded in SV, but is still very significant in the remainder of the world. I started in…
Their similarity to Scientology is quite striking. Complete with alien conspiracy theories [0]. [0] http://content.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2053761,00...
Not testing on women, and particularly avoiding pregnant women, is how to end up with another thalidomide case. Sure, you wouldn't want pregnant women to be amongst your first field test subjects. But you do want them…
Humanity needs an existential level extraterrestrial threat to unify us.
Early in my career someone taught me a useful technique for dealing with this situation. After each "new" idea, spend about half an hour working on the idea. Best to do this on paper and target producing some good…
With the offer of rewards I can see a similar scheme becoming popular in Western countries too. I expect it would have a large overlap in users with Facebook. It is possible to argue that we already have an informal…
Don't underestimate the cost difference between running a fibre down a street versus running it into every house.
You might be surprised at just how much news is little more than slightly rehashed press releases.
Nokia Networks has some good 5G whitepapers and other learning resources. https://networks.nokia.com/5g/resources
Reminds me of being a junior engineer doing radio signal measurements before and after a network optimisation. With slightly worn hi-vis shirts, clipboards and our portable RF spetrum analyser, we got into all sorts of…
Would you feel comfortable posting your last 100 searches here? What about on a list next to your front door? Even though you are "not doing anything wrong", perhaps you did a search on that funny looking rash you…
I'm not an expert in media laws, but my understanding from the broadcast days was that TV broadcasters got access to radio spectrum for effectively zero or peppercorn rates and in return were required to broadcast a…
I assume product placement in their own produced shows is already occuring. Etheir that, or they are leaving money on the table with what looks to me like unsubtle brand visibility.
As a pedestrian, I am annoyed that after spending a lot of money to create nice fully separated bike paths near where I live, some of the lycra clad cyclists still insist on racing along the footpath.
Even English subtitles on English movies are often inaccurate and missing key words.
As someone who has lived more than an extra 10 years of life due to receiving a transplant, I am very happy to take my daily immunosuppressant medication. For context, I was in my 30s when I had the transplant. If I was…
And the grid is too expensive because the regulator allowed an effectively risk-free rate of return on investment that was too good to pass up. In telecoms wholesale pricing in Australia, there would frequently be…
