Watch the first few seconds of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnzNvhQxu90 The pilots should not have mistaken the taxiway for the runway. There simply are too many differentiating features between the runway an

I like how you portray the US to have a higher moral standard for this subject matter. I wonder if there's a Chinese guy who read the article and said: If China doesn't do it, USA will, and in a generation will be swollen with a p

Well, that assumes all planes are always 100% utilized, which is probably not the case.

If they somehow decided to stop doing business in China, would that be grounds for Apple investors to sue Apple?

I would really like to see a study of the economics of the smaller legroom. My napkin math tells me if you remove two rows of seats from an all-economy 737, every remaining seat would get an extra 2.5-3 inches of legroom, which is significa

I know for a fact that the one in Yaris and C4 is an option... And for a while, it wasn't available in many countries. For a C4 Picasso, this is still the case.

Center console indicators are quite common. One advantage is that, the indicators are never blocked when you are in a turn. With your traditional instrument cluster placement, the steering wheel blocks the indicators. Cars with instruments

Just curious, do you, or any of your friends who don't own a car, have any children? I'd like to have a "carless" lifestyle as well, but I find that having two children makes it quite difficult to not own a car.

How do they get away with charging $FULL_RATE for a 2 minute visit is a mystery to me. How is that not criminal?

If you watch any 28R approach video for SFO on YouTube, you'll be even more surprised. Because there is no way you can mistake the taxiway for the runway. There is a huge array of lights pointing the pilot towards the runway. I would i

I completely agree. Unfortunately, so many semiconductor vendors are going this way (for ICs) as well. For example, there are so many parts on the Texas Instruments web site for which you can not get any support, unless you are a heavy volu

In one of our board designs, we were using a well-known manufacturer's 25Mhz oscillator, to provide a clock to a gigabit Ethernet PHY. When we wanted to assemble the boards, we could not find this oscillator in any official distributor

Anyone know where the AES key is stored for the encrypted memory? Is is a fixed, hardcoded key inside the processor, or does the user set it by some means?

Actually, TDP is the nominal expected power dissipation of a processor, and is intended as a guideline to design the cooling system. It is the intended power dissipation of the part when running "real (non-synthetic), expected workload

I've been through so many of those. Here's one: On a board, we were using an ADC chip. We bought the ICs from an official distributor. They sent us the chips, and we populated the boards (~200 of them). None of the boards worked p

I've done formal verification on several units of a microprocessor, and I can assure you, formal verification on individual FUs is very, very ambitious (think impossible) for a modern microprocessor. For example, you can not possibly f

Cryptography Research (now RAMBUS) developed solutions against these DPA attacks. Real solutions are much more complex than just "random-power-consuming" See: https://www.rambus.com/security/dpa-countermeasure
