My first startup had 3 different firms with no real product try to shake us down using patents with obvious prior art at different times. It was a major distraction and costly in resources when we had limited capital. We did manage to conv

I don't think it's paying most of them to do a patent search. It's a way to get media attention for people to glance at it. It's providing a nudge for them to tell you about something that they know off the top of their

It was obviously sufficient ;) Paying more doesn't always motivate people more or get more (quality) people to do a thing. Compensation and associated psychology is complicated, because people are complicated. e.g. I am willingly work

I know I can open other tabs to look at the presentation, so I assume it would. But it's not good optics for me to have a phone out when I ask my students not to do so. I can get a speaker notes and a normal presentation tab open and

I just have a ChromeCast in each room that I lecture in. Easy to bounce a tab over to the big screen, and it turns on the TV/projector. It also helps prevent notification or other screen sharing related mishaps. My biggest complaints

Yes, I've gotten worse at arithmetic, too. The point is, one is hard pressed to find anyone who can do much arithmetic-- even trivial things.

Not a super big fan, honestly. I'm a bit horrified when I see high school seniors who are smart, and have been through the entire HS math sequence... dig around in their backpack for a calculator to find 5 times 1.5 or 20% of 11. I&#x

Starting off by making an obviously hamfisted move matters. It's a headwind to overcome. Is it possible to overcome? Sure. Yes, you can heal after shooting yourself in the foot. (And, of course, removing attribution is violating lice

That large protrusion on the right makes it easy to hold the camera. It's a convenient place to put a battery and a bunch of controls, too.

Not as many as you think, because you need to have targets bigger than the ~20um wirebond wire to solder to... and the little wire and bond pad are not very tolerant of strain at all. Bonding wires to the thing in the first place easily inc

Both happen; people abandon churches in droves in their late teens/early 20's, and then there's a constant stream of older converts / people trying it on. The former far outnumber the latter. But the latter might outnum

by mlyle 2y ago
You would need to connect wires to that little 40 um^2 mote to do anything, though, which in practice makes the rigid places needing strain relief a lot larger.

I agree, but this also means "investing in smaller chunks." We're stacking missions up to be so complicated that they're really expensive and the first try really has to succeed. We need to figure out how to get smal

I am not interested in talking to you anymore. When you reply to my comments it gives me a notification, and I am unable to block you here. Please go away. If I have to write tooling to make it stop, I will.

No, considering something at the end of a fault-free channel as the element of the distributed system being delivered to is silly. > we are engaged We are no longer engaged, because I've given up on talking to you. You can use &quo

No, as we're saying repeatedly at this point-- the application itself needs to tolerate multiple delivery, because if the deduplication isn't atomic with the application's actions, incorrect behavior results. Stacking on top

Europe absolutely exercises significant antitrust influence upon US firms. In practice, yes, as you point out: US firms must have assets in Europe to compete effectively. But even if they didn't, Europe could deny access to the Europea

Same way Europe exercises outsized antitrust influence in the US: threatening to fine US entities, and if necessary deny them access to the European market. It would be tricky, though, because my sense is that China still needs Intel/Q

by mlyle 2y ago
That's a best case number, based on warm power management, an operating system that isn't disabling interrupts, and the interrupt handler being warm in L2/L3 cache. Note that things like PCIe MSI can add a couple hundred nano

You're a bit pessimistic, but beyond that I feel like you're missing the point a bit. The purpose of a RTOS on big hardware is to provide bounded latency guarantees to many things with complex interactions , while keeping high
