The network effect cuts both ways here. Why pay extra for Zoom when you are already invested in Office 365? The ability to invite external participants to join a call via web browser limits the friction getting people to join calls on unfam

Hats off to Zoom. Someday I hope we get a post-mortem from someone with a hand in the technologies they're using to scale. 3 months ago I think 90+% of the population had never heard of them and now it's a household name. Three mo

I'm not exactly a chip manufacturing expert, but: 1. By the time this fab is in major construction a lot of the lessons learned for 5nm will be known and can more readily be implemented in the USA without splitting precious engineering

Yes, it's certainly a very rough estimate based on questionable analogs. It is, however, the first attempt I've seen to make a scientific estimate of the question I've seen asked so many times in HN threads over the last few

Also not an expert, but that sounds about right to me. I imagine the difficulty in designing these models comes from modeling the variable factors, IE the parameters normally controlled by the knobs on the amp or effect. Some of these shoul

Switching to manufacturing their own chips or using their own chips in Macs? The later has been a rumor for many years now and could happen, although they've likely used it to leverage Intel into better pricing. Manufacturing their

This is one of those features that seems so common sense that it's surprising it's taken this long to show up. It reminds me of when Gmail and Outlook started giving you a warning if you said the word "attached" or &quot

I think this is why you mostly see these cheap articles called out as being ideal for gaming rigs where you're highly likely to be adding a dedicated GPU anyway. Even a low end card like a $120 RX 570 is going to be 600+% faster than t

As insane as it seems I imagine we'll see closed borders in many countries for a long, long time (months, maybe years?). It's going to be very hard to justify risking even a small chance of introducing additional virus cases if yo

I think to some of us "flatten the curve" is starting to feel like a March strategy to a May problem. A month ago everyone was concerned about ventilators and hospital beds and as far as I know the USA never hit capacity outside o
