I only needed 3 square inches, but they sampled me a full panel. Good, I'll have some around for fast protos. This is much better than FR4, and the board houses say it handles like FR4.

You need to crawl out of your hole, turn off your computer and socialize wi th people.

t distinguish humans from other anthropoid apes. He doesn't fit into polite society.

I do visit it frequently during the day, but I sleep for some nine hours ev ery day, so I certainly don't spend 20 hours a day in front of it. Flyguy may type more slowly than I do and that might lead him astray.

BORE YOU!!! Note: that ISN'T socializing.

Only when I'd sworn off coffee. Once I was sure that I was no longer addict ed to it, I could use it to let me look attentive in marketing meetings. I probably should use it to help with my once a month NSW IEEE executive comm ittee meetings, which can get pretty tedious, particularly now that we have to rely on Zoom.

Australia does seem to have got on top of the Covid-19 epidemic, so we may be able to go back to face-to-face tedium fairly soon.

We have to be careful with what we mean by 'discovering nothing': Michelson-Morley interferometer failed to discover ether, and resulted in fantastic progress in science. The FCC @ CERN pitch claims that not finding certain types of dark matter particles will push the theory forward. I am not arguing for or against it---just saying that 'negative result' may also be helpful. It is true, though, that projects have to compete and be seen as 'zero sum' to a degree, i.e. doing FCC will have the opportunity cost for other projects.

Many of my university friends were on SuperColider, and when that collapsed, were snapped by the Wall Street in mid-nineties to do financial modeling, which they were very good at, but the assumptions were from the old school finance guys, so it blew up in 2008. Maybe it would have been cheaper to spend the SuperCollider money to keep them employed there :)

I designed the cryo instrumentation for the SSC helium plant in Waxahatchie, which was finished. I also did microsteppers for tuning the cavities, which CEBAF used too.

The big-labs business is mostly gone, along with a bunch of small companies that made stuff for them.
