On a very high level, a good place to start is on Metrology — the science of measurement [0].

Test, measurement and calibration equipment for new technologies (think 5G/UWB, mmWave, even up to CERN LHC) can be right on the cutting edge of technology. Companies who specialize in these areas tend to have large budgets on research and commercialization.

On top of what others have said, I will recommend resistance bands. Combined with a door anchor, they are an extremely cheap and versatile type of workout equipment. It is surprising how much of a workout you can get with them. They're not a complete substitute for actual weights, but they are good for a home session. As a bonus, if you travel, you can easily stick them in a suitcase

I find it surprising that they are choosing Germany - after everybody is seeing what Germany is doing to Tesla's Gigafactory there (embroiling it in so much red tape that Elon wishes he could pull out if it weren't for sunk cost). It seems that Germany has a very good ability to convince and lobby these mega-manufacturers to base themselves there, but a very poor ability to actually let them succeed after making that decision.

TSMC would be wiser to invest in the UK - where there is a strong political will to remove barriers to entry - and it is of course where ARM are already based and therefore has a very strong overlap of skills. There is also far less likelihood of exports being restricted during a possible future crisis by the political whims of failed politicians i.e. it is a politically more stable bet.
there are some developments, but mostly you would get new additional tool on top of existing stack, rather than a new stack.

Problem 1. patents. in early FOSS days people got momentum to push hard for corporations to give up compiler patents and other obvious nonsense and let GCC flourish. same situation is here in hardware, the very idea of simulating circuits is a mine field of patents and you'd be sued out of existence.

Problem 2. features. there are a lot of features that you need to push out a working chip into an existence. open source tools or alternatives are SO far behind that they cannot be used or can be used only on something really small.

Problem 3. verification. there are no (VIABLE! that python coco stuff doesnt count!) open-source alternatives to UVM (uvm as a library is open source, but there are either no simulators that can run it). If we had some of the older verificaion languages to go open source (like specman, vera), maybe we had a chance.

Again nope, much more complicated than that. My city is not flat. It's the opposite. Also bad city planning, wrong population projections and, wrong prioritization of city investments play a big role too.

We're late in building underground. Some of the most populated parts of the city has great elevation changes, so underground is not feasible, etc. etc.
You spread democracy by showing it is better system.

A lot of countries that converted to democracy did this because their populations looked up to US and wanted to have better lief.

You also put pressure on other countries when they claim are democratic but fail to do this in practice (which is the case of Belarus or Poland where I live).

US does this actively and frequently in many forms, by voicing "concerns" or putting embargoes on countries that break their own rules.

Obviously, that pressure is much less effective when you do same things you try to pressure other countries to not do.

Kanji, like many Asian scripts, has no word spacing. So what is and is not a word is a bit of a hard problem. Implementing word count for kanji is a non trivial problem. There's a Norwegian that did a machine learned stemmer for Kanji for Elasticsearch at some point to group characters in meaningful groups.

Probably characters per minute is a better comparison but it's still apples and oranges as you typically need less characters in kanji to spell out the same thing.

From what I've seen as an amateur that is yet fascinated by mechanical engineering: iteratively work up to the precision limits with your current methods then try to find/research a (slightly) better way of measuring and/or manufacturing. Since humanity has worked up to this point over centuries/millenia, you wouldn't need to "bootstrap" it from the beginning anymore, just choose the appropriate level of (manufacturing/measuring) precision for your usecase. Otherwise start with a surface plate.

I would like to think so. I used a program that is full of bugs, yet those are not reported[1], nor have they been fixed. :(

Edit:

[1] I did report one (or two?, it has been some time ago) after some time (could have been months, because I could do without it as a compromise for that time being). They did not respond nor did they fix it (so I did not report any other bugs I have found). I recently re-installed it to give it another go, and the easy-to-fix bug still occurs. They just do not give a damn. Their website has been rebranded and everything, but this bug has not been fixed for over a year.

Edit #2:

Wow, I was way off with the "over a year". I checked the bug report of the one I remember reporting. It does seem like some other people have reported it too. Well, it is a bug from 2018, after all. Still open, no word from a developer. :D It is a bug of a crucial feature.

In any case, if for some reason I had to use this software again, I would never report any bugs because it is pretty much futile. They do not answer, they do not categorize bugs, they do not seem to check the bug reports at all. It would be a waste of time.

Cars spread pollution in many mysterious ways, take the tires for example" According to a 2017 study, about 550 tons of airborne particles from tires are produced annually. Further a study released in July pointed to tires and brake pads as the source of about 550,000 tons of ocean microplastic emissions annually.5 Oct 2020 - Microplastic pollution has polluted the entire planet, from Arctic snow and Alpine soils to the deepest oceans. The particles can harbour toxic chemicals and harmful microbes and are known to harm some marine creatures. People are also known to consume them via food and water, and to breathe them, But the impact on human health is not yet known.

Earlier work suggested microplastic particles could be blown across the world, but the new study is the first to quantify the effect. The scientists concentrated on fine tyre and brake dust as there is better data on how these are produced than tiny microplastics from other sources, such as plastic bottles and packaging.https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/14/car-tyre...

Take three somewhat flat stones to start out. Alternate rubbing the surfaces together in a random fashion. As you continue the high spots of the stones will be ground down and the surfaces will become flatter and flatter. In the end you can get very precise flat surfaces.

Two stones is not enough, you can then end up with two spherical surfaces. With three this isn't possible (imagine two of them are convex, when you rub them together they will grind eachother down and become less convex).

Yes, governments use PCR because it's fast and mechanical.

The correct response to the PCR not detecting what people actually need to know is to shut down mass testing entirely.

I find it very annoying when Italian speakers pronounce foreign names using sounds that do not exist in Italian. Pronouncing “Merkel” as a German would, makes it impossible to write and unrecognisable to 99% of Italian speakers. It is not reasonable to expect people to be able to pronounce and process sounds from all languages. It doesn’t mean that one shouldn’t even try, but if your name is “ Friedrich” you should accept that it’s unpronounceable for an Italian and that “fredrik” is probably good enough. Likewise I don’t expect English speakers to pronounce my name correctly (they never will), and I’m sure I don’t pronounce theirs as a native speaker would.

As a side note, I find it funny that the English seem to enjoy pronouncing guttural Rs and nasal sounds when they say French names. The English love saying “Macron” (usually producing the sound of a lung exploding and being expelled through their nose), while they don’t mind vandalising Italian or Spanish names.
While I get the sentiment, regulatory issues would be only one factor to decide and in some cases not that big (medical for example is heavily regulated the world over).

What's the difference between the t in 'stellar' vs the t in 'tell'? I seem to pronounce them identically, dictionary pronunciation guides (https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis... and https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/englis...) do not make a distinction..

[edit] ah, one (!) of the two "tell" audio recordings in that dictionary seems to pronounce it in a different way that would illustrate the aspiration, but that seems different to how I've usually heard 'tell' being pronounced.
Indeed, that would be a challenge for all web-reliant industries, although from what I understand it must be a minimum of 10k properly operating (i.e. noiseless) qubits to implement the Shor's algo..
"Simple" can mean many things.

For me Rust is "simple" because it has great tooling / great diagnostics, so when I get something wrong, most of the time it can tell me exactly what it is (and how to fix it!), and only occasionally does it send me down a rabbit hole.

Rust is also "simple" because it's memory-safe - if I can get something to compile (without unsafe code), then I know there's no use-after-free, double-free, buffer overflows, etc. I can concentrate my mind on the business logic (where bugs still can and do happen).

Finally, Rust is "simple" because it lets me build abstractions so I can see more clearly what I'm doing. At work we had a Go codebase full of goroutines and channels - I got tired of it and did a proof of concept in Rust: now it's just one async Stream, you can see the data flow clearly and worry about each stage of the pipeline in isolation, instead of having to jump across many different source files.

But no, it's not all very simple. There's plenty to learn, and some of the core concepts (ownership / lifetimes) are fairly hard to wrap your mind around, even if you've encountered something similar in other languages. My take is that it's worth it - you'll be very slow at first, but as you get more comfortable with it, so will you get faster.

"The air hoses between the locomotive and the cars were not connected, as is normal during this kind of switching operation. The air brakes on the cars were therefore inoperative."

This part confuses me. I was under the impression that modern train air brakes are fail-safe, i.e. pressure will release the brakes, no pressure will result in them being applied, so that the cars couldn't be moved in the first place without the air hoses between locomotive and cars being connected. Can someone with a better understanding of rail operation help me out here?

> If your app isn't complicated, I'd just useState

Your very trivial example of a button with a counter, gets very complicated as soon as you need the counter value available outside of its children... like in a header or the sidebar, etc. See? Now tell me how you do this, without rerendering the entire application on each change.

"Just use useState" works fine as long as it is local state, and you're sure it will stay local in the future. Which is also compatible with XState and any other solution as long as you don't go crazy like reduxallthethings.
> intuitively for something to be this precise, the tools and equipment that "create" it should also have to be more or less equally precise.

Very reasonable assumption that I used to have too. (Un?)fortunately it's also wrong, or at best, incomplete. :-) e.g., maybe you don't have the technology to make precisely straight lines, but if you can make a flat surface (like paper), then you can fold it in half and get a straight line. Then fold that in half and get a pretty-close-to-90-degree angle.

I also vaguely recall that feedback can increase precision in a system... like you can get 2% accuracy with a circuit that has only 5%-accurate resistors by using feedback (or something along those lines). Unfortunately I no longer recall how this is done. I just remember my mind was blown when I learned it.

This adds other wheeled vehicles which use friction based braking into the equation.

I intentionally exaggerate the tone of my comment, but it shows a much bigger problem: All kinds of transportation has some serious impact on the environment. So just taking ICEs or cars out of the equation doesn't solve the problems magically.

We need a much bigger vision and a set of solutions which addresses these problems.
There's a bit of a "silicon cluster" around Dresden in Germany going all the way back to the late 60s and 70s (the GDR had pretty impressive chip manufacturing capabilities for such a small country on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain). Also regarding the "red tape", this depends a lot on the state you're in. Brandenburg/Berlin vs Saxony/Thuringia/Bavaria can be very different in that regard (of course it depends a lot on the local government that's currently in place).
Might be true, but in Germany, the salary you pay to your employee is also about 1% of all the labor cost for him or her. Which is hyperbole, of course, but Germany is one of those countries where the actual net payout is usually significantly less than 50% of the salary the company provides.
I'm not criticising it as I think Germany is a good example of a well-working system but net salaries are low for most.
