The first strike policy is irrelevant in this context. What matters is capability and parity. If a country develops a nuclear capability that they didn't have before, in his case weapon delivery, this is proliferation. This puts pr

I think the biggest problem with YANG is all of the serialization overhead, particularly for large YANG models. For a large SDN network with a centralized controller, I am not convinced that a NETCONF-YANG implementation is really performa

Sort of. We are able to shape these spectra now to improve the spectral efficiency (when using colorless muxing). The next generation of coherent modems will have a 25G granularity and SW will tune the modem to maximize capacity for a gi

There is plenty of BW available in the fiber. A nit, we don't use prisms to combine and separate the colors. We are getting more data in the fiber by increasing the modulation complexity and by making advances in forward error corre

We pay almost 50% in taxes which I think is close to what you guys pay in Europe. The lions share goes to Washington where as far as I can tell it either evaporates or gets spent on very expensive jobs programs like the F-35. Our states d

Measuring absolute brightness is hard. It would be good to compare the measurement error is in brightness of a reference star of about the same magnitude and distance(and even perhaps a known variable star) to the observed changes in this

Learn that you are merely a coordinator and are not "in-charge." Too many TPMs try to be the boss.

I've had bad/wrong info on my reports in the past and it took years to get the stuff removed. There is no transparency to the process and the process seems completely arbitrary.

It's extremely difficult for a human to discern the difference let alone computers which for all the ML are still profoundly stupid. To quote Justice Stewart in Jacobellis vs. Ohio: I shall not today attempt further to define the kind

Worked in HW design for 16 years and I've never seen a design that was done by trial and error. Usually lots and lots of simulation and calculation up front followed by a DOE (design of experiment) to provide insight in areas which ar

The problem is much worse here in SV. Lots of all cash buyers from abroad. When I was house hunting last year every house we lost was won buy an all cash foreign buyer. I also know many families where this was also the case.

Why is dark matter diffuse? Shouldn't it clump together? I guess if there's no Coulomb force the stuff just moves past itself. However there should be some kind of collision cross-section shouldn't there? Since there&#x2

I would argue that the purest form of climbing is to do it without regard to recognition.

If you are managing small teams of people and don't know if they are pulling their weight, then the problem is that you aren't a very good manager.

I recently moved to a SW company that does this every 6 months. I haven't been through the review process yet but it seems all consuming for 3 out of the 6 months. My manager has a team of 7 and it seems like he spends half his time

I recently told a colleague who made a blanket statement that he didn't like country music but who liked punk rock that Waylon and Hank Jr. were the equivalent of punk rock to country music.

My guess is that he's not fully coming clean with the real reason he was fired. If he was a leader worth promoting 2months earlier and wasn't making product planning spreadsheets then they'd have told him and/or hired s

Nobody is restricting anything. You can still pay for Internet. It's only a free service tier. Don't forget that these are mostly 2G connections and so a full internet experience is likely to be a poor one. The limited services

If what you are saying is true that sites that Indians want are not available on FB Basics, then FB won't get traction because it's not what Indian people want. Recall FB Basics is an on-ramp to give people a place to start so t

In the context of physics this is not clickbait. It is an actual nightmare for physics because they have spent years and billions building this extremely complex machine. The fact that they are not seeing new physics means that they di

I hope you're right. The costs of 7nm are so high that even the "big guys" are being very careful about what they do. It's become so expensive they just can't afford a miss in the market. I worry the high costs

What's amusing about that? Divorce can be devastating to a person's physical and mental health as can many other social problems. So it seems logical to me that the CDC tracks this.

Yep. Apple Pay uses a one time authorization code and not your card numbers, etc... The merchant does not get your card number or name. They can only use that authorization code for one transaction. Even if your PIN is stolen, the thie

In my view the secure enclave and one-time use authorization are the killer things about Apple Pay, not the contactless part. The merchant/cashier doesn't see my name and doesn't have my card number.

These articles seem to be a dime a dozen; always predicting the demise of SV. But SV is to tech as Wall St is to finance and that's not going to change for either of these places anytime soon. A key advantage of SV for me has been gr

Small talk is not pretend friendship nor insincerity. It's a ritual that attempts to get people to be friendly to each other. Being friendly is not the same as being a person's friend. The purpose of being friendly in a busine

The attention to detail on the show is amazing. For example, during their move to the new office I noticed that they had Corovan moving boxes. If you don't know Apple uses Corovan exclusively and if you've ever moved offices cha
