If you get 2 oz copper on the outer layers, do they do that by
plating up from 1/2 oz? That would make the copper on the PTH's
thicker too.

That is why you should follow several, and not just your western propaganda
to get an idea what other cultures do and see where other cultures are at.
First, there are different types/grades of bias. It is one thing to set

distort the news and publish outright lies. The BBC do only the former,
Russian controlled media do the latter all the time, especially via
their troll farms.
And the British media must provide impartiality, such is the law
there. Not sure how much good it does, but I have yet to see someone
beat them in that.

One of the great things of having a movable satellite dish is, at
least here in Europe,
that I can see thousands of channels from many many cultures, Middle
East, India,
Africa, S America, Russia, China, most European countries and of
course the British,
and I can tell you that each television station is under their
government control.
So much for me in MY western world, dunno what locally made illusions

Broaden your horizon.

You forget that I grew up in communistic Bulgaria. "Defected" 1988 when
I was 33. So I have had Russian "news" and films etc. for several
lifetimes ahead, you can't catch up to 5% of that even if you watch
Russian channels all day. Many of the books (I grew up on books, we
had no TV at home) I could get were only in Russian; even Russians
visiting Sofia would go to the Russian bookshop in our neighbourhood
to get books they had no chance of finding at home.... (propaganda
first as ever).
As for China and India I do not even try to understand the cultures.
We have had some sales to India, I was not taken by any surprise during
the contacts (but I do have a wide ranging experience contacting
various types of cultures). We have had no sales to China.


Stop attacking Mr Doom he has a right to his POV just like you if you are sincere
about your so called western freedoms that are as much an illusion in reality
a the twittering of the US Precedent alias Agent Orange,

Well Mr. Orange would have not seen any of the White house without the
help of the Russian troll machine. It was very marginal, remember?
And the US authorities now are between a rock and a hard place - what
do they do, admit that the Russians helped put him in office or
let the enemy stay in office.... The latter seems easier to mitigate
against so this is what they do.

I have nothing personal against any Russian troll. Just against those
who enroll and use them against what I deem my best interests.

traces. Phil says that the conductivity of plated copper is inferior
to pure copper.

The e-field must be about zero deep inside the hole.

I could measure electrical resistivity as a proxy for thermal
conductivity. The conversion factor is usually about 150,000 K/W per
ohm.

Isn't the nickle plated over the copper?

Yes.

I assume the copper is
still carrying the current and heat.

Passing high currents through printed circuit traces is not a good
idea anyway, especially if the trace gets hot enough to exhibit heat.
That causes detachment in worst case scenarios.

Best to keep them short and close to the high current component,
which is more likely where the heat is coming from.
Say are ENIG boards magnetic at all?
No more or less than any other planar circuit trace layout would
be. Now that all changes, of course when one steps into high
frequency RF effects/parasitics, etc.

When current passes through a conductor, a magnetic field is
exhibited. Michael Faraday and J.C. Maxwell said so anyway...

But I also know that you knew that.

I did not know that.. So you are an undercover Agent from Russia ;-)

One system or the other, I am a bit pro-Russia because of my history.
It is funny because i am not a 'leftist' in the common sense.
I do have great respect for Russia, and I find it silly to credit the election
of US Precedent Agent Orange to Russia.

History.. that US election was rigged, it was not even the choice of the people..
Maybe it is me,. but I do not notice much Russian posting in newsgroups.
There is one poster in alt.politics.europe who is against EU I think, but he may well be an Agent Orange minion.
Often Agent Orange sends his minions to Europe to create diversity by stirring up nationalism and ultra right.
That includes Boris and a lot of other players.
Nationalism A.O. thinks will make EU fall apart.

I was reading today that in California now if you want to run for Precedent eeeh president you HAVE to show the taxes
over the last few years.
That rules out ..Orange.
It is just one of the signs of the United States falling apart, states going their own way.
California likely will create better connections with China, already on the east coast China has a foothold.

The east as it was before the iron curtain (wall) fell was not so bad as some may want you to believe,
in fact everything the western press accused Russia of in those day they now do it themselves on better,
like listening in to everybody, recording everybody, you know.
So much for freedom.
US cops shooting random people, gun manufacturers running the government
US caused regime change in more than 400 countries since WW2.

You are free to live there, been there, had adventures there, ..
one thing I noticed when I came back from those adventures (that I will not go into detail about here,
but have mentioned some in the past) is how relaxed things were back in Holland
compared to stressed out 'merrica.
People get shot all the time, I had a gun to my head, when some people were talking garlic some body randomly killed people
in a garlic festival in US I did read.
High school shootings, any body can buy a gun, some will flip out and there you go as 'law abiding' citizen...

No, things are more relaxed here where not everybody carries a gun, safer too, although all the import
from countries the US destroyed by its wars do kill people here too, also
import from countries in Eastern Europe.

So all I can say I hope you are happy with that system but I NEVER had a longing to live there.
I have not been to Russia, have been to East Germany before the wall fell, and it did not suffer from the hyper-tension
I see in US people.
Your gun laws should change, but it is too late,
Cities will bleed down like Detroit no more services,
warlords, slavery *(keeping illegals in sweatshops hiding as workers),
Reagan was better, he made them legal so they had to pay taxes...
No, What is the difference between trumps wall and the wall in Berlin?
Trumps wall is in reality designed to keep the 'merricans from leaving,
not to stop the cheap labour from entering, see that?
For the same reason he does not allow 'merricans to travel to Cuba, if they do they will
see that life is much more relaxed there then in the US,.
THAT is what is going on.

I have a Sony e-book reader. E-ink is slick. But as beautiful as

That is purely a personal preference. I can't seem to get the font adjustment to work on the books I have. They are printed a type size that seems to get smaller as I get older. How does the book know how old the reader is?

2pi = 6 is usually close enough.

It's a game in our place to do math in our heads, standing at
the whiteboard.

Ours too.


Does that RC time constant affect the loop? Think for three or
four seconds and decide.

Newbies and visitors are impressed.

I would find it very difficult to design things if I didn't have
a pretty accurate feel for the magnitudes of different effects,
e.g. the parallel capacitance of a resistor.

I agree.

That is one thing that has been lost in the modern era of graphing
calculators and spreadsheets everywhere.

People have lost the ability to sanity check their calculations to
the nearest order of magnitude (as you always had to do when using
a SR).


I don't think that is true. Sanity checking is something that
you acquire with experience. Young people will get there, little
by little. And then *they* start complaining that the *next*
generation has "lost" that ability. It has always been thus.

I can do most calculations in my head to Âą10%. I can get to the accuracy of a slide rule by taking a bit longer to see the best mental shortcut. Then I sanity check that to verify the power of ten as well as the Âą10%.

Er, that's why the likes of Robertson, Sloman, bitrex and the rest of
them just want to ban dissenting opinions: they have no better argument
and when one has no better argument, the obvious "solution" is to ban the
dissent.

Rubbish.

They dislike ignorant opinions, and correctly don't regard all
opinions as being of equal value.

You get battered because your opinions are more asinine and
visibly ridiculous than most. Even so, you do occasionally make
sensible points.


I think these three hapless prize chumps would be better off in China or
N. Korea and certainly feel more at home there; so what's keeping them
from going? Seems like an obvious win-win to me.

Classic nonsense. /You/ are the person that like Russian
propaganda; why don't you go and live there.

That would probably increase the intelligence of both
Russia and wherever it is you live (not the UK, by
your own statements)

First, there are different types/grades of bias. It is one thing to set
the agenda by selecting what will go into the news and another to
distort the news and publish outright lies. The BBC do only the former,
Russian controlled media do the latter all the time, especially via
their troll farms.
And the British media must provide impartiality, such is the law
there. Not sure how much good it does, but I have yet to see someone
beat them in that.

The BBC is a long way from impartial. I grew up listening to it.

No person in the western world would even think to consider the Kremlin

RT source < 5 years ago.

Bull
rt.com is a news source,
just like Fox TV,
chinaplus.cri.cn
cnn
bbc

etc etc

All are in a way biased towards - and controlled by the countries that own those.
That is why you should follow several, and not just your western propaganda
to get an idea what other cultures do and see where other cultures are at.

One of the great things of having a movable satellite dish is, at
least here in Europe,
that I can see thousands of channels from many many cultures, Middle
East, India,
Africa, S America, Russia, China, most European countries and of
course the British,
and I can tell you that each television station is under their
government control.
So much for me in MY western world, dunno what locally made illusions
you live in.
Broaden your horizon.

You forget that I grew up in communistic Bulgaria. "Defected" 1988 when
I was 33.

I did not know that.. So you are an undercover Agent from Russia ;-)

One system or the other, I am a bit pro-Russia because of my history.

Well so far I have seen only two types of pro-Russia people (the
Russians are exempt of course, they are entitled to their own
interests and those I have known are quite OK): those who don't
know life within Russian control and those who have or hope to
benefit from Russian control. I believe you are among the former.

> It is funny because i am not a 'leftist' in the common sense.

Russia is anything but a leftist country. They have never had
capitalism, it is a feudal state.

I do have great respect for Russia, and I find it silly to credit the election
of US Precedent Agent Orange to Russia.

Perhaps the Russians alone could not have pulled it off, but their
help tipped the balance. Without it - no mr. Orange in the White house.
Putin is outclassing his predecessors in what he manages to do
subversively. The guy is really good at what he does, it is just
that I want he was not. I appreciate the EU market and I appreciate
the way things here are a lot more relaxed than elsewhere, just as
you do. With the Russians officially in charge here (Bulgaria is run
by the KGB mafia but they have to hide and can't do all the things
they could do while they were also legally in charge prior to 1989)
things will go grotesquely cruel, the place will be uninhabitable
for anyone not willing to literally march along within days.

History.. that US election was rigged, it was not even the choice of the people..
Maybe it is me,. but I do not notice much Russian posting in newsgroups.
There is one poster in alt.politics.europe who is against EU I think, but he may well be an Agent Orange minion.
Often Agent Orange sends his minions to Europe to create diversity by stirring up nationalism and ultra right.
That includes Boris and a lot of other players.
Nationalism A.O. thinks will make EU fall apart.

I was reading today that in California now if you want to run for Precedent eeeh president you HAVE to show the taxes
over the last few years.
That rules out ..Orange.
It is just one of the signs of the United States falling apart, states going their own way.
California likely will create better connections with China, already on the east coast China has a foothold.

The east as it was before the iron curtain (wall) fell was not so bad as some may want you to believe,
in fact everything the western press accused Russia of in those day they now do it themselves on better,
like listening in to everybody, recording everybody, you know.
So much for freedom.
US cops shooting random people, gun manufacturers running the government
US caused regime change in more than 400 countries since WW2.

You are free to live there, been there, had adventures there, ..
one thing I noticed when I came back from those adventures (that I will not go into detail about here,
but have mentioned some in the past) is how relaxed things were back in Holland
compared to stressed out 'merrica.
People get shot all the time, I had a gun to my head, when some people were talking garlic some body randomly killed people
in a garlic festival in US I did read.
High school shootings, any body can buy a gun, some will flip out and there you go as 'law abiding' citizen...

No, things are more relaxed here where not everybody carries a gun, safer too, although all the import
from countries the US destroyed by its wars do kill people here too, also
import from countries in Eastern Europe.

So all I can say I hope you are happy with that system but I NEVER had a longing to live there.
I have not been to Russia, have been to East Germany before the wall fell, and it did not suffer from the hyper-tension
I see in US people.
Your gun laws should change, but it is too late,
Cities will bleed down like Detroit no more services,
warlords, slavery *(keeping illegals in sweatshops hiding as workers),
Reagan was better, he made them legal so they had to pay taxes...
No, What is the difference between trumps wall and the wall in Berlin?
Trumps wall is in reality designed to keep the 'merricans from leaving,
not to stop the cheap labour from entering, see that?
For the same reason he does not allow 'merricans to travel to Cuba, if they do they will
see that life is much more relaxed there then in the US,.
THAT is what is going on.

end of propaganda

I believe all this goes a bit too far, but I can see how the US is
not in its best state and I would not want to live there now. Some 30
years ago, yes. May be even some 25 years ago.

All 50 states of The United States of America have all been
independent and make their own laws and constitutions.

You are worse than a Trumper with horse blinders on.

In one state, a person may make a U-turn legally. In others, it is
forbidden and you will get a ticket if caught doing it.

In some states other than missionary position male-female sex is
illegal and even carries heavy prison terms.

Your statement really has no meaning as all 50 states have been
their own law managers from the beginning. The US has a very good
state / federal separation... in some areas. Not so much in others.

Remember again... it is all about money. The money of the
populace. Note how the US pays a 10X hit on pharmaceuticals in many
cases. Notice too in those states that have embraced the FACT that
cannabis has medicinal properties and health benefits and drafted
laws to allow its use get backlash from the feds because the FDA
declared cannabis (and hemp) to be a schedule 1 narcotic, which means
that we are not even allowed to perform research on any alleged
medicinal properties it may have and they push back because
relenquishing and moving it off schedule 1 would be losing face with
the entire world, whom the US has so far been demonizing cannabis for
decades with. And the states are all scrambling to tax and control
it.

Wow. We went for decades with it illegal and never hurt a soul,
and they spent billions calling it a gateway grug, and now they want
to run around behind you to make sure you are not giving it to your
kids... and to tax the piss out of it, and the feds so far will not
even allow a 'company' selling it in those states to file federally.
But your kid can start smiking tobacco or vaping or drinking and go
unnoticed until they take a gun to a festival. Give that to a kid
instead of ritalin.

Take something that could help ALL smokers quit tobacco with zero
nicotine reliance and help ALL PTSD sufferers calm down and continue
to demonize it. How quaint.

You really have no clue sometimes with the crap you spew. Maybe
you should stick to electronics, old man.
