Older processes available for cheap are not a new thing. They do indeed stay around until TSMC decide they're no longer worth running. It's not always cheaper as a larger process wastes more wafer.

I fully agree that hedge funds shouldn't get a bailout, and I don't think they will. Banks and hedge funds might both be "Wall Street" but they have very different relationships with the government. Hedge funds are not s

I'd think this kind of thing gets discovered organically. Airlines constantly buy and sell planes. South American airlines will notice that they can sell couple-year-old aircraft to the US for good money and upgrade to brand new Airbus

We have used Qt in our video meeting products for a few years now and are pretty happy with it. For us it was especially important to have the same UI on plain embedded Linux, Android and Windows. We were always going to use the commercial

Apple use a separate modem chip. iPhone12 has a Qualcomm SDR865 baseband and SDX55M radio. There have been rumours about Apple making their own modem, and presumably integrate it in an A-series SoC, but nothing yet. A 5G modem is pretty com

Ericsson was founded in 1876 and had a big part in developing 5G. Nokia started in 1865. There must be many 19:th century tech companies around.

On the other hand, has Wayland figured out how to allow screen shots, screen sharing in video meetings, live streaming your screen and such things yet?

That's Skype for Business, which is completely different from Skype, and has now been deprecated in favour of Teams. Teams is again completely different from the Skypes, and is more of a Slack clone.

Ideally, the document format should specify which parts are in what language. Both MS Word and HTML can do that.

Mobile network equipment is complicated enough that you can't expect every country to make their own from scratch. It's a bit like trying to make a domestic mobile OS or web browser.

The website of the "professor" behind this is lovely: https://teslastyle101.com It's almost Time Cube level (he seems to prefer other polyhedrons).

It's fairly established that picking a capital / large city is the correct way to specify a time zone, that usually gives you what you want. The alternatives have various problems: * Pick a country: Some counties have multiple tim

PC64k is the main size constrained demo format, where people do seriously impressive things. 256b is the masochists category, where doing anything at all is hard. 4k intros are in between. It's interesting that the demo scene is very W

Yes, the C and C++ standards could have allowed the compiler to reorder structs, but that would have lead to even more of those undefined behavior situation that people complain so much about. People do quite often rely on the first struct

The adapter claims some of the power for itself and downstream USB devices. I think it has to reserve power statically, so it's always claiming 5W or so.

It is very common for car regulations to favor local manufacturers. It's one kind of those "non-tariff barriers" that are a big issue in trade talks.

The article is right, you should use integers for the number of cents (or whatever the smallest unit of the currency is). That is easy enough as long as you are just adding and subtracting, but what do you do about multiplication and divisi

Neat. Can you clarify what "emulate" means? Would this let me implement a USB gadget on a Linux board with a device-side USB port, without writing a kernel module?

I would prefer to build the lines where people actually want to go, instead where you think they should go. I don't think the contractors care where you build; they make money either way.

Good luck defining "legitimate use" in a way the squatters won't get around.

In some ways that's positive. If the number of cases is higher than thought, then the deadliness is lower.

The story, as written, says that the engineer want with the father on four different nights. I would expect an engineer to at least try to diagnose the problem rather than spending all the effort of coming back on four different nights outs

Mu impression is that gender roles are essentially luxury consumption. In rich countries your lifestyle will always be at least ok, so yo can afford to care that your career is manly/womanly enough. In poorer countries you don't s
