How about a FPGA community? This could be interesting to share knowledge / learning and help each other. I just created one, link below! twitter.com/i/communities/…

@sandorpetofi34 @JamesCleverly I care not for reform

@ATaylorFPGA @JamesCleverly Reform quislings will proudly fly a russian flag.

One of the first decisions made by Essex Reform was to remove the Ukrainian flag from County Council HQ. Let that sink in. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@Xaraphim Fly first then you do not have to worry about laptop size

“thE 16in mAcbo0K 1S t0o BiG foR fliGhTs” its the perfect size actually

@BearJFK It is a sign if being scared I think. I'm this is very ambiguous

Of course The increasingly illegitimate British state just keeps adding fuel to its funeral pyre.

Prosecutors have been issued new legal guidance on the use of offensive banners, slogans, chants or symbols to recognise the changing context and increase in increase in hate crime attacks ahead of significant planned protests in London this weekend. orlo.uk/z2Tcn

@MtarfaL @thinkdefence That was always the simple answer.

@ATaylorFPGA @thinkdefence Forward is “optimistic” - it’s moving but seems a bit lost with new requirements and “pivots”. Get it on Typhoon - simples

All a bit depressing

@MtarfaL @thinkdefence It was a bonkers project when I was involved back in 2016-18. glad it is moving forward.

@ATaylorFPGA @thinkdefence It’s moving slowly into “swarm mode”……

@MtarfaL @DefenceSynergia Incompetence and delusion at every level.

@DefenceSynergia Didn’t they declare FOC as well?? If so that must mean FOC also allows only half the required spares be available 🤷🏻‍♂️ Can’t wait to see the FOC for AJAX….

Lack of logistic support reduces force availability over time! This is true for all HM Forces. Logistics and maintenance are 'front line' essentials not optional extras!

@MtarfaL @thinkdefence What happened to SPEAR 3, I worked on the cluster of a project lol.

@thinkdefence But not a surprise 🙁

@thersnoboks @the_engi_nerd This is why I started my own companies

@ATaylorFPGA @the_engi_nerd Most hiring is done by non-engineers or non-practitioners. They care more about agreeableness and likability. The very best engineers care about reality not likability and this doesn't go over well in an interview with the socially driven.

I think this falls within normal human performance variability. I know of nothing that would make Flight Test Control Engineers special in this regard. Same was true of the engineers. Some were very good, others were absolutely useless.

@FarRightSkip He is a PPE I would not let him make the tea he has no real world experience

Imagine a private sector company putting someone in command of a sector they have zero experience in with an annual budget of £240billion lmao.

@LordBadshot Never liked tax, it is just theft and wasted, there is no social contract. Just a out of control government spending like a drunk sailor in port. You should try to minimise your corporation tax as much as possible and do not forget any RnD tax credits.

I have just paid my Corporation Tax and I have to ask myself, why bother. I would far rather just get a pile of cash and burn it. I don't want to fund other people anymore. Was always happy to pay my way for the good of society but no more. I can't be the only one.

@GarethJone33754 @DavidDavisMP It is a rigged game, and not one you can win the state will crush you. The state is utterly evil so to is anyone who works for it or enforces its "laws"

@ATaylorFPGA @DavidDavisMP In a seized email between two hmrc agents was the legend “let’s get these fat bankers”, clearly a malicious prosecution for a scheme that other participants, including famous footballers and managers, had been allowed to repay with interest.They weren’t allowed to use the email!!

The lax treatment of Angela Rayner by HMRC has brought into focus how arbitrary the tax authority can be in its treatment of ordinary citizens. Too often, HMRC has pursued individuals and small businesses for vast sums of money in error. HMRC are masters of using process as punishment, making themselves increasingly difficult to contact while torturing people with demand letters and bankruptcy notices. Victims of these errors are often forced to spend huge amounts of time and money to prove HMRC wrong. This sometimes runs to hundreds of thousands of pounds in legal fees, many times the actual amount in dispute. They also find their names and details published in a list of deliberate tax defaulters, in effect a "name and shame" list. I have to question whether this meets citizens' privacy rights, since these do not appear to be court rulings but HMRC opinions. HMRC's excesses must be brought under control. It is time ministers took a grip of this. telegraph.co.uk/money/tax/news…

@GarethJone33754 @DavidDavisMP The game is rigged he should have left the country.

@DavidDavisMP A solution might be to reinstate HMRC’s liability for costs. I have seen first hand a man’s life ruined because he had to defend himself twice, after they demanded a retrial, and the resulting costs bankrupted him. He was exonerated. They accuse and prosecute with impunity.

@normanelliottuk @DavidDavisMP @DianeStokie They do not want small businesses.

@DavidDavisMP @DianeStokie Mandatory Making Tax Digital Income Tax Returns for sole traders will demand that they submit Quarterly unassessable Income and Expenditure - just for the purpose of HMRC putting them in a file. Anyone care about the pointlessness of this and the cost to the smallest businesses?

@DavidDavisMP Tax is theft it is time to abolish HMRC.

@Antikeburg We must see the EU as nothing but a technocratic monster which needs to be destroyed.

We must see Europe as a mother and our nations as its children

@DabsMalone I was quite proud of it.

@ATaylorFPGA This needs to go viral and stay viral

Because for 30+ years the US optimized for cheap labor overseas while China optimized for industrial dominance. We offshored factories because of shitty policy while China built ports, tooling, supplier networks, machining capacity, workforce training, and manufacturing infrastructure at a scale the world has never seen. Now people act shocked when they can manufacture things cheaper and faster. You don’t rebuild that in 4 years. You rebuild it over decades. If America actually wants manufacturing back, consumers are gonna have to accept the painful reality that US-made products may cost more for a long time while the industrial base gets rebuilt and refined. China didn’t “cheat” their way into dominance. They out invested us in manufacturing while we financialized everything.

@trussliz I have always been curious why you did not call a GE.

Believe me - I would have if I could have!
