Thank you. We have plans to connect an 802.11 card/module (probably M.2 via PCIe) to the FPGA and manage it from the ARM processor. This can be done as a daughter card. We're looking for the right 802.11 module that is a good choice for an embedded system like this (not Windows / *nix).


If you're a college student and interested in FPGA design & network security, please take a look at the education link at the top of page for this article. Thank you!


Can I use VS to debug Firefox & Rust on Windows?


That's a good question. I don't know.

I'd imagine it's possible? But how difficult it is may depend on how frankenstein of a build system Firefox uses. If it produces normal pdbs then maybe it will "just work"?

Sadly, projects of that size are rarely so simple. :(


I assume they'll combine this with their new social credit system to assign you a seat accordingly?


Or not at all.


Just discovered Hacker News two weeks ago. Love it. This article is from three months ago, but it seems relevant to this site.


I read that close to 50,000 Americans die EACH year due to opioid overdose. I'm pretty sure this is more than the death total of the Vietnam, Korean, and Iraqi wars combined.

I can remember being a kid in the 70's and how the start of the news each night was about which local kids died in the Vietnam war during the past week.

Perhaps it's time to declare this a war to save the (potential) addicts and act accordingly.


As a society we habituate to a horrific human toll as long as we don’t viscerally experience a short-term shock. The US has ~10 9/11s worth of traffic fatalities per year, but we aren’t flipping out and dedicating ourselves to rebuilding transportation infrastructure, because we just don’t care that much.

I hope that we don’t get too complacent about opiate deaths and start thinking of this as normal. We do need a nationwide coordinated mobilization I think. I hope it happens. I think it will require pragmatic political leadership that treats this as a public health crisis rather than a job solely for law enforcement.


>Perhaps it's time to declare this a war to save the (potential) addicts and act accordingly.

The Wars on Terror, Drugs and Poverty have all been abject failures. War is a terrible metaphor for this problem. War implies at least some semblance of a defined enemy. The issues here are interconnected and require nuanced discussion and debate. Simply calling it a war will not get the people of Seattle that.


The robot business is where it's at!
