For background "Diane Abbott" is a bit of a UK meme for when any political/government does bad maths. This if from a few instances of such maths: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWYIkhJdOZI https:/&#x2

That was my point, just because you can only perceive at one limit, does not mean there is nothing beyond that like Ultrasound. Anyhow, was analogy about perception and sample rates and what your measuring. Clearly didn't make it tha

If you look at it with the analogy of vinyl records and digital representations of that music. You can reach a point in which you are quantizing something that equally can represent the original in a way that is not discernable in differen

Would be interesting in comparing the number of employee's indicating a wish to leave the company with the level of customer churn. My gut feeling is that there may well be a correlation there. As happy customers make a happy company

Interesting list and the Bee movie one is silliness incarnate, though do appreciate the The Morse and Roadrunner ones more in the spirit of fun.

Why only the other day https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29897713 we was pondering what would need all that data bandwidth for the new PCIe-6 specs. Having too much bandwidth or capacity is a problem in IT that often sol

One bus to rule them all! Would make some sense and if it's fast enough, not saying we will see memory in PCIe form factor, though, size of memory progression, maybe down the line it may go that way.

Good stuff, though from my understanding a slot is a airport allocation to land/take off. So an airline would have slots at the departure and destination airports and with that, some would be forced to make the flights to cater for th

Would be interesting how this compares to leasing a car as many do. Mindful there are many who already buy and sell back to dealers within 3 years and then buy new again. How well Toyota will be able to compete with that and the second-ha

The upside is a choice of keyboard (if Bluetooth and not proprietary) and removes an avenue of repair costs. This and we all know that keyboards are like magnets to liquids and snack crumbs (even if you don't eat snacks).

Yes, as the text in the part I quoted says "dilute" now as well. Which is good as there are many "bucket chemists" out there, people who think, why add a pinch as more will be better and quicker mindsets kick in.
