Intel had one CEO without a technical background who came in after the previous guy, who started off as a process engineer, ran their fab division into the ground and caused them to lose their technological lead due to dumb decisions. The M

There's no promos in maintaining the dystopian nightmare program so it will be replaced by new dystopian nightmare programs that do the same thing but worse every 2-3 years. Eventually, enough dystopian nightmare programs will be runni

I personally think that governments would be better at making decisions of what to farm and where to farm it than farmers. Farmers have a profit motive whereas governments can have other non-profit motives.

DigiKey eliminated everything except next day air for small packages some years ago because it was too expensive to have two different SKUs for shipping small orders in their system. B2B is weird.

The advice that I've gotten from my doctor is five to seven portions of meat at spread over at least two days per week. So yes, you don't need to eat it every day, but you still need to eat a good amount. And it may just be simple

My problem with all of these fake "meats" is that they don't taste like meats, they taste like vegetables and fruits that have been handled to the point of not being enjoyable to eat. I'd rather just eat well prepared an

That's only because all of those comparisons assume cars are free and not part of your living expenses. People in the USA often save money moving to Chicago and NYC because they can get rid of their cars. So yes, the rent is expensive

Heck even without going "premium", you can pretty much just buy LG or low-end Bosch models of most things and be fine. But if you buy Samsung, you might as well budget for a replacement ASAP.

I worked for a defense contractor that had a truly unlimited vacation policy as long as you were getting your work done. We actually would get formally reprimanded and put on a PIP for not using enough vacation. All benefits started day 1 i

Outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, the murder rate was highly correlated with the violent crime rate. During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became less correlated as more people died due to a lack of available emergency healthcare while hospital

So let's get this straight. You know nothing about this area and you assume the experts in it are wrong? Do you know what happens if you accidentally couple lines during one of the manufacturing steps? The wafer can, in the absolute wo

Lazard does not include the cost of storage to provide baseload power from renewables so it's largely a lie.

Yeah, they always include the full supply chain for nuclear to make it appear believable but they don't do the same thing for anything else. Heck, some people include the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the numbers too just

Our World in Data included the entire lifecycle and the most pessimistic models for nuclear as part of that analysis, if you use the same methods for every single source, wind and solar are an entire order of magnitude higher. Alternatively

"Nuclear is super expensive!" they keep screaming as I've been living in places with primarily nuclear power for the vast majority of my life. The only 3 years when I didn't, I really felt the price of dinosaur-fuel even

As an addendum, I'd add that Sedra and Smith wrote an amazing textbook on semiconductors that I highly recommend anyone interested in the topic should read. Here's an Amazon link to the book: https://www.amazon.com&#x2F

People spend over 1/3 of their day working. It's the only regular social interaction a lot of people get outside of their household. They get a lot more irregular social interaction from other things, but nothing quite as regular.
