Look in to opportunities for syndicated real estate investing. You could also pursue investing in multifamily homes given you live in the Midwest.

I think the stranglehold is about to burst. Intel is launching a GPU/Deep learning accelerator, Huawei is thinking about launching a GPU. Pytorch and Tensor flow work well enough on AMD GPUs. There are also custom deep learning ASICs f

Right, but is Harvard going to deny students from deferring admission for a year? I would assume the number of students attempting to defer this year is 10x what it normally.

This concerns me. I doubt the product will actually become better with more VC money thrown at it. We will probably see things like premium content now.

This is too simplistic. Samsung and Globalfoundires have fabs in the US that are close to leading edge. There are other fabs that are leading edge for other types of chips e.g. Texas Instruments The fact is that the capital expenditure cost

I have been getting documents with titles that seem like pornography shared with me recently as well. It is truly infuriating because I can't tell where they are coming from. It seems like this started around ~6 months ago. I think the

Why make an order for only eight? It seems wasteful for a country like the US to order so few. Either you need a lot more, or you don't need them at all.

Absolutely, most journalists do not understand basic quantitative reasoning or economic principles. For example, I read a BBC article a while back about a sand shortage in India. It turns out the government imposed a price-ceiling, and ther

I am implying that governments (including court systems) often make decisions directly and indirectly to protect domestic companies at the expense of foreign companies.

I wonder how much BMW/Daimler/Volkswagen had to do with this. It is a common practice for technology companies to offer features that will only become available after a certain time period. It actually takes time and money to buil

> The problem is the same as it always has been: NRE (fixed costs) for new chips climbs ever higher and needs to be offset by even more volume to be acceptable to consumers. While this is certainly true for bleeding edge nodes, hasn&#x2

A companies purpose is to make money for its shareholders. If the companies goal becomes anything else, decisions become extremely arbitrary. Perhaps Autodesk should stop supporting car manufacturers who produce internal combustion engines.

I believe lightning became more stringent over time. I have some cables that charged an iPhone 6 but did not charge an iPhone 8.

Consider looking at ReasonML and ReasonReact, you can write stringly typed code at first, later you can start relying on type inference and ADTs

ARM doesn't really matter very much to Apple - Apple designs the micro-architecture and many (most?) of the other SOC components themselves. With the technology moves Apple has made, they could probably switch to RISC-V at this point,

Yes there is. Server platforms are connected to more storage, higher bandwidth networking and more exotic sockets (more than one CPU). It is one thing to support lots of PCI express lots on paper. It is another thing to have a working solut

It isn't quite that simple, Intel has way more engineering resources than AMD and for some complicated setups like data centers, Intel really does have good arguments that their systems are better tested than the competition, and Intel

This is about as evil as it gets for a software company. Using your technology to put people behind bars for victimless crimes Microsoft products are generally such low quality that I avoid them anyway, but I'm going to try to disable

Intel has lost its manufacturing lead, but these changes are not permanent. There is a good chance TSMC stumbles as transistors shrink. Intel has a chance to catch up, but it seems like Intel has structural problems that prevent it from win

It would be nice if Adobe could release some of Flash player as open source, or at least help document the format to help preserve the content that made Adobe so much money in the past.

All modern printers support IPP, aka AirPrint, which does not require drivers.

The problem is the larger the chip, the lower the yield. High end desktop/server chips are much bigger than mobile chips.

Web developers frequently use Docker for Mac which is a way to run Linux containers (which are most frequently built for x86-64), which requires a way to run a x86-64 hypervisor. Docker for Mac runs a Linux VM that in turn runs the containe

If Apple doesn't provide some form of acceleration or support for x86 hypervisors I can see this leading to mass exodus of the Mac platform for web developers. It will be interesting to see what Apple does. Given the technological step
