Very nicely put! I have been in discussions with these type of people, several times, to start a company in semiconductors and quantum computing. I was often the only one who can "do" things and it was not appreciated. Academics d

They fund a lot of R&D in house and let people try crazy new ideas. Too bad it's just for a niche product. They have a famous networking (optical and wireline) group doing a lot of state-of-the-art research, and they deploy these i

Great replies here already. Just piggybacking on the monitor arms: I have mounted mine to the wall. If this is an option for you, you can mount them at a good height on the wall and extend it to bring the screen closer.

Weren't Dutch ships much smaller but more numerous than the English? What I remember is reading that this made Dutch ships more maneuverable and more capable of piracy. They were good at harassing ports too.

BLE is fairly straightforward to implement. It's the compliance testing which is costly. Are these fully compliant, i.e. FCC approved?

Yes you are correct on both accounts. The problem is two different OS approach. What I need is an iPad hardware running macOS actially, with a tablet mode. Same issue with Chrome OS/Android separation. Funnily enough Windows is the clo

Here in Europe there are a lot of local websites for this kind of group accomodations in nature etc. and often the hosts there are much much more approachable and friendly, plus it's often cheaper than Airbnb. One big example is Gites

Wow, this is very impressive. This reminds me of my years of designing the analog front end of ethernet PHYs (5 generations of 1G base-T, 3 geberations of 2.5G/5G/10G base-T, 1 experinental 7.5G, the first gen 25G base-T, 2 geneta

What's a good form factor for that? A Mac mini is an overkill for most of my needs. I wish there was a smaller form factor!

At my shop verification to design time is like 10/1 or more. RTL is generated via Perl scripts. Nobody is coding directly at RTL level here. It's just for debugging.

Samsung is just tiny bit behind TSMC. The gap isn't a decade, more like 12-18 months. Also, TSMC has 5nm production in the US. There are actual people with know how of this process in the US.

I might be biased, being an insider of semiconductor industry, to think that there gulf isn't that huge. Virtuakly everything is known down to what, 28nm or so. That's still a fairly good process and pretty impossible to forget.

I agree, forgetting happens naturally. For example, it would be pretty difficult to produce vacuum tubes now. But I doubt this is applicable for CMOS technologies. Most of the steps down to finfets (TSMC 16nm) are rather well known. Yes we

Well, we stil have enough know-how outside Taiwan on everything to produce any semiconductors. A bigger world war is most likely what it takes to bring the supply chain to a halt. Even then, nobody magically forgets these things.

Luckily cargo bikes aren't for speeding and racing but for carrying cargo. It would be like using a truck to race instead of a mid-engine super light sports car. Durch cargo trikes are generally assumed safer than their two-wheeled alt

Interesting! What is the reason of 800nm limit? I have successfully photographed my own designs down to 130nm with optical microscobes, though not with metal layer removal. The resolution isn't perfect but fearures were clearly visible

All good answers here. I have one addition: Zero interest rate regime we had since the financial crisis meant the money supply was cheap. It was enough to just hype yourself to the investors to get money, and Tesla did exactly that and got

Wealth providing freedom is not an objective fact. It depends on your philosophical standpoint. I know a lot of people who would rather live cheap and small and be creative (as in arts). What you describe is for them wasting your potential

This is slightly racist and totally wrong on many many points. Are American hardware companies better at software? Dell? HP? Vizio? Intel? AMD? Or European companies: Philips, Siemens? It's all the same. Even Apple has the abomination
