After 20 years in VLSI, I have no clue about quantum computers, and haven't found a good source explaining them. Anyone have any idea how they work? Like, how does one produce logic gates out of them? How do you create an IEEE 754 Flo

Nothing inherently more efficient about private companies over public ones. Private companies have all sorts of inefficiencies that public organizations don't have, like profit and other requirements. You can send mail across the coun

Every field has their PhDs, from Physics to Fashion Design.

It’s not the reference and learning materials. It’s the PhD researchers that advance the state-of-the art. This is why American universities dominate.

The high-end computer work is largely design-based, which depends on high-end talent. Meanwhile, the US still has the best universities in the world, guaranteeing dominance of the industry. As long as that continues (which itself isn&#x27

And the intentions of the middle-class directly conflict with the intentions of the poor. Middle-class is definitely the worst. Enough power to be harmful to the poor, but not enough self-awareness of their own situation. They're the s

It should be the same as any other cultural change, like gay marriage or civil rights - you just keep at it until it happens. The last thing you do is say "oh it will never happen" and stop. You just keep doing it, whether it tak

Everybody already knows exactly what will happen under mass confiscation: the gun owners will gladly give up their guns. Anyone that knows gun owners know this is exactly what will happen. The kind of person that owns a gun are fearful peop

You do it the same way you enforce any other law. What's the issue? Are you saying laws don't work? Because society is built on laws. Right now 50% of the guns are owned by about 3% of the population. That's your first la

The only way to stop mass killers is to ban and confiscate guns from the public. The public should not be allowed to defend themselves with firearms. Only the government should have the monopoly on violence in a proper, respectable advance

Great. Since everything costs as much as a high-skilled computer scientist, no one can afford anything. We're now back to limiting the economy because we don't have enough low-skilled workers. People are now forced to work subop

A lot of is is that restaurants are largely built by wealthy people for their own social niche. They aren't designed to be profitable businesses, but more as a social device for their owners. If you're wealthy in New York City, y

The only way to offer the middle-class non-commodity non-factory foods is to reduce labor costs. It's impossible to do so otherwise. You can't get the sort of service they're trying to provide for the middle-class without ha

As for end product realization compared to current gen stuff, it'll be about the scale of difference between the XBox360 to the XBox One.

Kids these days with their AIM Away Messages. In my days, we had to "finger" people their .project/.plan files in VAX/VMS & Unix systems.

by mozumder 9y ago
AIM worked so well for kids because the "Away Message" always deleted after the next update. It was an early version of Snapchat's disappearing messages.

As they should, since they won't be able to back up their claims with facts.

Were you under the impression that credible journalists are in the business of "fake news"? I want you to think about what would happen if that were actually the case.
471.
by mozumder 9y ago
Because you trust journalists to do their job in verifying sources, which maintains their credibility. I want you to think your cunning plan through. What do you think would happen if journalists actually lied?

ECC increases reliability on older systems as well, increasing lifespan of any product. Silicon degradation is a thing.

I just ended up buying a bunch of cheap Bluetooth audio adapters: https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Receiver-Streaming-Han... About the same price as an overpriced cable from Best Buy.

The 12" iPad Pro is Apple's most amazing device. Ridiculously smooth to operate. So fast. And a great screen and speaker. I'm using it much more than I've used any other iPad, probably more so than a laptop. If it had

This is a huge topic. You can spend your entire career in just each part of your question - fabrication in a foundry, FPGA synthesis, HDL design, ASIC place and route, etc.. I've actually done all-of-the-above, from making SOI wafers

How easy is it to build a Swift app that uses the same codebase for Mac, Windows, and Android? What are the target environments like in non-Apple systems?

by mozumder 9y ago
Android isn't really designed for fixed-function devices like cameras. The App model isn't suitable here. What you really need is an API set that attaches to each function of the camera that third-party developers can use process
