Congress can’t write good laws (good = clean, unambiguous) due to a variety of reasons, most of which are just political and not practical reasons. Here’s hoping this decision causes Congress to write laws with more clarity now that they ca

When looking at unintended consequences, you always go with the worst case when planning, not the best case. That's why.

In a sense, yes. The leaks shouldn’t be there, which means the craft is out of spec. Being out of spec in one area makes you consider how good/thorough the design and testing was. The next step is to consider what else isn’t working

So, you're saying that tech that didn't exist was the problem, not the design for the tech that did exist??? That makes no sense.

I'm just waiting for someone to create a simple app (like notes perhaps?) that has the name "Japan sucks" or "overthrow Japan". The problem lawmakers have (all lawmakers, not just in Japan), is that they don't

There is no feedback from the buttons at all. If I ignore the rest of the screen, I can’t tell if anything is playing or paused. The buttons do not change appearance in any way. That makes it even worse as now I have to look at multiple pl

But Apple is vertically integrating. Thats like Ford buying Bridgestone. The only way it hurts Nvidia is if Apple becomes the runaway leader of the pc market. Even then, Apple hasn’t shown any intent of selling GPUs or AI processors to th

Why do you think that? You seem to be positioning this as a Ford vs Chevy duel, when (to me at least) the comparison should be to Ford vs Exxon. Nvidia is an infrastructure company. And a darned good one. Apple is a user facing company and

Do they though? Another narrative is that AMD undercuts Nvidia prices because their product isn’t as good. Worse, Intel then undercuts AMD pricing for video cards because theirs aren’t even as good as AMD’s. When you get to antitrust, thing

The problem with illumination is that it’s easy to pick up stray rays from the light source. Hence why infrared is preferred.
