This is a great presentation on the evolution of transistor manufacturing processes. I didn't know how a transistor worked before watching this video, yet was engaged by the technical narrative of the semiconductor industry overcoming

Imagine walking into an interview or phone screening and being hit on by the person who gets to decide if you are hired. After being dismissed for rejecting the creep's advances you will probably want to stop by HR on your way out. Act

The paper is about entanglement, which is not "a single particle that exists in two places at the same time." By definition quantum entanglement "occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact." [Quan

It is more common to find people spending $1500+ for a single bike in SV, which puts this well within the price range of many sports enthusiasts.

There is no guarantee in this scheme that the data was actually generated at the time they state. An insider can easily cycle through "random" numbers until the hash of the block has a desired characteristic.

I find that promises are an elegant dependency resolution mechanism when requesting a resource asynchronously from disparate parts of an application. Promises still rely on callbacks, so the initial pitfall of calling `log()` in `get_databa

You probably just need a few prerequisites. Even if you did study data structures, algorithms, and combinatorics previously, you would need to have your head wrapped around the subjects to fully understand this lecture. I would also keep in

The Rift and 3D TVs are fundamentally the same. Light field adds 2 dimensions of information (2 axis that control the angle light travels). To me it is the difference between (2D+2D) and (2D×2D), or <x,y,z> and <x,y,z,∆x,∆y,∆z>.
