I mostly agree that there isn't a great alternative to TSMC, but I would point out that the 2021 Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processors are being made by Samsung with their 5nm process (in addition to their new Exynos 2100). Intel and Glob

Not really. The issue is that these cloud platforms aren't just "give me virtual machines" anymore. If you're just looking for VMs, there are loads of alternatives. The problem is that people are looking for so many val

I think the idea is the mRNA vaccines are much faster to produce which makes it easier to keep up (but I could be wrong, this isn't my area of expertise).

I loved the aesthetic of the Cube, but I feel like Apple has basically created Cube replacements. The Mac Mini is basically a G4 Cube, just smaller. If you're looking for the same dimensions as a Cube, the trashcan Mac Pro had nearly i

Basically, no one has any new plans. Chip makers simply have plans to keep making better chips. There wasn't even discussion of Intel working on better processes or how 5nm helped Apple (and AMD) produce better chips. I think the prob

I'm curious why you think RISC-V is the future and not ARM. I guess part of it depends on how far into the future we're looking, but it doesn't seem like ARM license fees are so high that they're prohibitive. ARM generat

They touch on why they're different a bit, but it's kinda subtle. foo(int? i) { if (i != null) { print(i + 1); } } In that block, you can see that the compiler can understand that the null check on

One of the reasons that I like T-Mobile as a company is that they realized that the correct answer to network management is de-prioritization . If someone is downloading a lot at 2am, it doesn't harm anyone. Let them have fun! There&#

I'd guess (and it is a guess) that it wouldn't fall under this because Yelp would only show this "inauthentic" number for businesses that have signed an agreement with Yelp. Yelp is going to be a mix of businesses that a

I think 2021 is going to be an interesting year for 5G. T-Mobile has announced that they'll have almost a third of the US population covered with 2.5GHz 5G by the end of this year and that they're expecting average speeds of 300Mb

It wasn't just a bet on the wrong technology. Sprint wanted to outsource their 4G network to Clearwire. Instead of investing tens of billions building a 4G network, they wanted someone else to do it for them. Of course, if this had bee

Probably copyright. You’d be using their content and taking away their potential revenue (from ads and whatnot) without their permission. News sites already want Facebook to have to pay for linking to them, never mind copying their content

Yea, 5G does support carrier aggregation with LTE. It looks like the big difference is in LAA (License Assisted Access). LAA allows the use of unlicensed spectrum which can be added to the licensed spectrum that carriers use. 5G NR Relea

Verizon often has 1,000MHz+ of millimeter-wave spectrum and there's virtually no one using it. T-Mobile is getting 300Mbps speeds using only 40-60MHz of spectrum. Even LTE, when no one is using it, can easily hit a few hundred Mbps (

Possibly Scheme or Racket? S-expression, functional languages don't seem to accumulate language features at an incredible rate (but I don't use them frequently so someone might correctly contradict me). I too like Go's restr

Some of it is marketing BS, but it's hard to argue that AMD isn't benefitting hugely from TSMC's 7nm process. Likewise, Apple knows that they can get 5nm parts from TSMC this year for their phones and laptops and they know t

I think e-bike technology is going to get adapted to all sorts of new uses like this. I think there's a lot of opportunity to create great vehicles for people that will offer a good accessibility. https://rootedinrights.org&

I think the Segway just missed the mark. The real game-changing device is the e-bike and we can see its immense popularity. Segway may have only sold 140,000 of their devices over its lifetime, but e-bikes are selling by the tens of milli

The issue with suggesting buying Duck Duck Go is that they’re reliant on Microsoft/Bing for results. That would mean Apple coming to a deal with Microsoft for search access where Apple runA the ads business. If you think you can make $

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm guessing this counts as fraud. Facebook could terminate you if they found out and try to recover wages from you. Nevada might not care since it has no income tax, but most states would care if you were a

I think there's a combination of things here, but it's not the printer/razor model. You just don't have to replace the batteries frequently enough for that model. The battery pack should last for years. If you can cut

What is truly native is debatable. Go has a runtime too. .NET has some AOT compilation to native code now and it has trimming so that it doesn't include things you don't need. Go will likely continue to have a bit of an advantag

Yes, it can contain the .NET runtime like a Go executable. You can already (mostly) do this today with .NET Core 3/3.1 (I say "mostly" just because it simply unzips the runtime on first run). I deploy to Linux with everythi

I remember being a kid and not knowing what kind of Sega I was supposed to want. Sega CD came out in 1992 and CDs were the new thing - most of the next-gen consoles were CD-based. But the 32X was newer (1994). But when the 32X was releas
