All investors are wiped. Anyone on board of directors is gone. Anyone in main executive management (CEO, CFO, CTO, etc.) is fired and replaced. All assets placed into immediate Chapter 11 (restructuring) bankruptcy.

The fact that you can "assume Vulkan exists" helps a lot (both hardware and software renderers exist). Do remember--Wayland predates Vulkan by almost a full decade. In addition, you can offload OpenGL compatibility to Zink (aga

I strongly suspect that this does not meet the strict timing requirements that GPIB has. Putting this on your bus is likely to violate both the T1 hard timing requirements and the impedance requirements. Use of the "standard" set

Bill Murray has the best take: "I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying

The problem seems to be that the Waymo cars did exactly as you requested and treated the intersections like 4 way stops but kept getting displaced by more aggressive drivers who simply slowed and rolled. How many non-Waymo accidents happe

Perhaps. But you also need to ask why Paxton is doing this as this case will vaporize as soon as that is accomplished. I would be much more optimistic if California were also signed onto this. Paxton, however, doesn't give one iota
