@nprofile…c3q9 The key difference between transhumanism and what you're describing is the same difference between historical Luddites and their anachronistic counterpart. What matters is who technology is used for and who it is used against.

it's kinda messed up that being an IEEE member isn't enough to get free access to all the IEEE standards

It's more accurate to say that transhumanism and capitalism are mutually incompatible

@nprofile…wsq6 this was my problem in semiconductors class (I did okay after I went back and redid my notes from lecture recordings, but I couldn't possibly keep up with it anymore after graduation)

we really need to stop calling it electromotive force if it's measured in volts

@nprofile…vdjy It shows up on page 2 of the search terms I've been using with one other short/confused letter against, but all of the other results (4 pages) are in favor.
The long list of exclusively republican co-sponsors has me cautious, but I don't see any cause for alarm in the bill's text either.

@nprofile…vdjy How did you find that letter against H.R.987/S.401? All of the results I find on Resistbot are small-scale petitions in favor of it.

@nprofile…fmuw Is there one for Vivado? I remember having to do a bunch of stuff to get it working years ago, but if I had to do it again, I wouldn't remember how to do it.

Using gedit as an IDE is kinda silly, but they at least understand the value of making the tab spacing option quick and easy to change. "tabs to indent, spaces to align" benefits greatly from the ability to grow or shrink your indents quickly.

@nprofile…xgzg I can go deeper into either the theoretical or practical side if you want, but I don't want to over-explain things you already know.

@nprofile…xgzg I also agree with @nprofile…2p0u here. You need a cross-sectional area for the multimeter probes to make contact with the ball bearing. A flattened or pointed probe contacting a perfect sphere only makes contact at a single point (and therefore no cross-sectional area) which would make the resistance of the contact infinite regardless of resistivity, and everything else in series becomes insignificant.

@nprofile…xgzg My first guess when you're seeing unexpectedly high resistance readings would always be poor contact between the probes and the test points, like @nprofile…n8me said.
It's hard to get good contact on something spherical like a ball bearing (add pressure and the probes just slide away) but just having the probes rest against the metal leaves a small and variable air gap that's enough to inflate the measured resistance, which is probably what you're experiencing.
If you're measuring the file, I'd say it's because of this for sure, but even if you're just scratching the ball bearing with the file, the scratches might be helping to keep the probes from sliding off.

Before I say what I think it is, are you saying you're measuring the file in the second measurement, or making scratches in the ball bearing with the file, and then measuring at the scratched parts of the ball bearing?
