Interesting to compare Apple to Telsa, who is having to scale production like crazy and is designing/manufacturing some their manufacturing machines themselves

ASICS often are faster than more general FPGAs, and FPGA's use a lot more energy than a comparable ASIC. But the reprogrammable nature of FPGAs is an incredible advantage. And there are even some phones that have FPGAs integrated now

The barrier to entry to becoming a programmer is significantly lower, so hopefully the pressure will never be as bad. But as a recent CS graduate I certainly feel a lot of stress about my skills or lack thereof. Coincidentally, my twin brot

I agree, the task of providing gov IDs to every American although difficult is a good idea. So once everyone has an ID, then lets enforce the stricter rules. I think that is a fair compromise. But placing the onus on the voter isn't fa

Giving people government IDs is not a trivial problem to solve. Its costs a lot and is hard, while allowing anyone to vote really increases voter turn out (and generally the rates of this type of fraud are very low)

Well probably not a small task to support custom modules, and it allows them to get a pretty powerful tool with a nice core set of features out the door relatively quickly. If exponent becomes successful I imagine they'll add support f

Say you own a restaurant with 100 tables. Each night someone needs to manually go and blow the candle out or turn it off. Now you can turn them all on and off simultaneously and remotely. Additionally, if its a LED candle you might be able

This seems like a fairly clean cut case of corruption. It's amazing how external money can drive legislation and political action. Why would these politicians ever try to block this on their own accord? Do they really fear a government

Haha that XKCD was hilarious. I'm was totally surprised my comment even made it through the spam filters. I was seriously considering spelling Hitler, H*tler or something. Yeah, I should setup pushing to a remote repo, that could be re

I'll echo you that my 2015 15" mbpr really screams the majority of the time. I probably should do a fresh install with the latest OS but moving files around is such a pain. Maybe we are in quiet environments and notice them more t

This is kind of off topic, but I hate that I cringe every time I read the words "Master Plan". Hitler kind of ruined those words for me. Did my UC Santa Cruz education do this to me or do others ever feel the same? Edit: Congrats

Yeah, I'm imagining some scenario where say Spotify partners with Bose, and if you plug in Bose headphones then you get higher quality audio than you can get elsewhere. Or say tidal (Jay Z's streaming service) says you can only li

The iphone 4 originally shipped with regular phillips head screws on the outside, but Apple quietly switched those out to the pentalobe head screws sometime after the initial batches of phones came out.
