<p>The BBC article doesn't specify the text with the image, but I clearly see a procedural gap in the police department. Accusing a man who only posted a photo, reorganizing the search based on an unverified photo, it's a big failure.<p>Did Orwell teach anything? What will they do with the next Visitors' spaceship  photo?</p>

<p>Titles are really a trap  cannot reveal the real work, everything it's related to the size of company, type of organization and sector.<p>A "top" position in a small company could be a mid one in a big tech but with a narrow field compared to the small one when sometimes you need to refill the coffee machine. At same time the flexibility of small one helps to solve problems of big ones.</p>

<p>An alternative, open and freely accessible OS for mobile computing is always good for a healthy market. 
Most of us have a limited view of the global market and don't know which areas prefer de-Googled OSs. If all of India or Africa decided to ditch Google, it would be a massive shift. We cannot forecast if the West will slowly decide to move to other solutions inspired by tech-savvy users or by becoming more privacy-conscious. It will take time, but desktop Linux is also slowly growing.</p>

<p>Western memory manufacturers decided to chase the AI bubble, abandoning the consumer and low-requirement markets entirely.<p>Chinese manufacturers are now capturing that entire segment with full vertical integration. When this bubble stabilizes, because it will (it's not going to grow to infinite), Western companies won't recapture those markets.<p>They've already ceded competitive advantage for the next decade. This is a structural shift, not a cyclical shortage.<p>It's another step in the transformation of Western industry that began in the '80s: the shift from real economy and human-centric production to financialized operations.</p>

<p>Not long ago, Italian Supreme Court (Cassazione, ord. 34217/2025) established a critical principle reflecting a broader trend in personal data management: the "digital image" of a person must reflect their actual current situation through complete and accurate information. The court rejected deletion but endorsed contextualization, articles must explicitly note the acquittal (assoluzione) or dismissal that concluded the investigation. An article mentioning "investigation for [crime]" without noting "subsequently acquitted" is factually incomplete, therefore false.<p>This principle applies directly to search engines and data processors. When Courtsdesk was deleted before reaching AI companies, the government recognized the constraint: AI systems can't apply this "completeness" standard. They preserve raw archives without contextual updates. They can't distinguish between "investigato" (under investigation) and "assolto" (aquitted). They can't enforce the court's requirement that information must be "correttamente aggiornata con la notizia dell'esito favorevole" (properly updated to reflect the favorable resolution of the proceedings).<p>The UK government prevented the structural violation the Cassazione just identified: permanent archival of incomplete truth. This isn't about suppressing information, it's about refusing to embed factually false contexts into systems designed for eternity.</p>

<p>I wonder if the bow drill principle for boring holes evolved from fire-starting techniques, where the same reciprocal motion was already understood and mastered in that years.<p>Just speculation, but it suggests how practical problem-solving builds on existing techniques rather than appearing fully formed.</p>

<p>I think archaeology requires a multidisciplinary approach that has only recently begun to emerge. For too long, especially in past centuries, archaeologists focused on history and languages while neglecting engineering, chemistry and the practical techniques that enabled survival and innovation. 
That's why the general public views our ancestors as 'primitive,' when in reality they possessed techniques many of which we've lost or still don't fully understand.</p>

<p>I agree that the ceiling of 4h is correct for high intense cognitive activities and that morning, after few hours after woke up,  is the best time for these activities.  And I would add that trying to do more the same day will affect the next day.<p>Meetings, phone calls are distractions, especially in the morning, they could also bring different thoughts far from current task.<p>To have the best result we must reorganize the company according to this, because  most organizations prioritize visibility over results, but  compensation, promotion and trust structures reward deep work instead of meeting attendance.</p>

<p>I've carefully read this interesting discussion: some political, mostly about full cloud services (AWS) vs partial EU providers, or lock-in vs indipendence.<p>I think the problem is elsewhere. The real advantage of big cloud players isn't their individual services. It's seamless integration and simplicity.
We need a service integration standard for infrastructure that enables:<p>- Service discovery<p>- Networking<p>- Observability<p>- Configuration<p>This benefits everyone: EU companies, US startups, enterprises anywhere avoiding vendor lock-in. A standard letting services integrate regardless of who provides them.<p>Not just container orchestration (Kubernetes), but something working across bare metal, VPS, containers, and remote machines.</p>

<p>The irony is that EU education is still broader and more grounded in fundamentals, compared to US one that has become increasingly skills-oriented.<p>I also prefer to design solutions that are portable and platform independent, cloud providers simplify and hide something to you, it has a cost (not just money) that you cannot quantify on long term and that's clear for who has experience in both worlds.</p>

<p>If we review the history we can notice that there was always an influence from politics/religion to science, literature, arts, philosophy and the use of them by politics, maybe to justify some decision and state of facts.<p>It helps to empower control over population and fits perfectly in the social and historical context: the emperor blessed by God, the evolution theory, the epic poems, theory of race, the industrial revolution, and modern times don't escape these patterns too, we just suppose to be neutral.</p>

<p>I'm glad you find it interesting. I developed the theory at university, studying how ASK and FSK modems work. To build this, you’ll need to understand the Shannon-Hartley theorem, band-pass filtering, Fourier transforms, and convolution.<p>For the practical 'how-to,' I recommend studying GNU Radio and SDR++; they show how to process IQ data or raw audio streams directly, and for sure there are other libraries. On the 'ancestor' side, look at the AX.25 Packet Radio protocol and AFSK (Audio Frequency Shift Keying). These are the same 'softmodem' principles used in FidoNet nodes decades ago.<p>GSM Arena can help you find phones with integrated FM receivers. You'll notice that many features are market-dependent, meaning: the receiver is often physically present but simply disabled by software.</p>
