Lets stop pretending that speeding is the most dangerous drivers do
I see - every day - near misses from missing exits, dangerous lane changes, and aggressive driving/brake checks - and all these infractions go unpoliced
My first two ideas to ‘innovate’ on this was; a car driving down the page, or a drag racing Christmas tree where the lights count down in ‘full tree’ style.
I suppose that really depends on how hard they’re trying to prevent you from doing that…
* They could measure the forward voltage of the LED when driven by a known current. Bonus points for measuring at multiple currents. Remember that the forward voltage depends on color.
* They could measure the reverse leakage current at a known voltage, and compare that to the illumination from the camera’s exposure feedback. Remember that every LED is also a photodiode.
* They could vary the LED driver current to heat it up, then measure that both of the above measurements are compatible with the higher temperature. Remember that most semiconductor properties have a strong temperature dependence.
So it would be pretty easy to detect most simple mods if they really wanted to.
While this is true, I see no reason why the contents of the rest of the video might be untrue or affected by the sponsor.
It would have been better for the creator to use a different sponsor for the video, or choose to not sponsor this video due to the journalistic value of the content. They have also adressed this in the pinned comment under the video, stating that the sponsor didn't get any editorial say.
The same geniuses who said putting back offices in Asia and working async across massive time differences would be a boon now say you have to sit next to somebody to be productive.
A teammate here in the Bay Area is currently collaborating with someone in Israel. It is possibly the worst time zone difference I’ve seen. Worse than Japan/California has been for me.
I once flew from NY to Alberta for a key meeting where the stakeholders didn't come in to their own office and we did the whole thing over the phone. I once spent two days at a different client's office while they were WFH.
A lot of the people who make money for the bank were already doing much of their job over email long before the pandemic. (Which directly led to proving the LIBOR scandal.) The longer I’ve been working under my own part-time return to office requirement, the less I think it’s about the day-to-day work.
I personally benefit from having a dedicated place where work “lives” that is separate from my home. This helps me shift into a work “mode”. I know some people claim their routines are equally successful, but mine simply aren’t. In the office, I am surrounded by people who are also actively spending time in the same problem space. I’m not constantly pulled back into the domestic world by walking into the kitchen.
