If the reactors are much safer by design and default, then they'll also need fewer regulations/patched-up protections later on = cheaper to build and maintain.

It's certainly true now, but once upon a time the Google search engine was also a "neutral platform that didn't directly compete with other web properties shown on search pages." How times have changed there, haven'

Hopefully this means Google will attempt to use CPUs from vendors other than Intel on new Chromebooks. I imagine the handful or so of NaCL (not PNaCL) apps were the reason why they supported Intel CPUs on Chromebooks so much.

I agree. On one hand, Autopilot hardware is holding back Tesla from making its cars significantly cheaper, while on the other, the best hardware they've put in their cars is still nowhere near powerful enough for a sufficiently safe le

A variation of this argument always seems to come up in discussions about privacy. Yes, 99.9% of what you do or say in your daily life is likely of no consequence. But every now and then you may do or say something that could be used agains

Even so, A72 is a highly-inefficient chip (which is probably why they set such a low clock speed for it). Cortex-A73 would've been much better. But I guess there always has to be at least one obvious lacking in Raspberry Pi generations

I believe all consumer AMD Ryzen CPUs support Secure Encrypted Memory (SEM), but for some reason it's not enabled by default on most Ryzen devices/motherboards. It's a shame. I'd also love to see AMD bring an updated and

Have you paid attention at all to China in the past decade? China was already a competitor in many industries, getting rapidly better -- and it did all on the backs of American tech either by stealing it or through forced tech transfers.

It's very disappointing that Apple hasn't adopted Vulkan. It's not like they are completely against standards either. I believe they even joined the FIDO Alliance recently. With Apple adopting Vulkan, it may actually stand a

I could understand Apple not wanting to jump all over Ryzen 1000 from day one, but not even Zen2 2-based Ryzen 3000? Even after the whole 5G spat it had with Intel? I'm not sure what they're waiting for exactly.

If anything the 3D chiplet tech will make their chips even more expensive/lower yield/more likely to overheat. HBM memory for instance is still quite expensive, and even 3D NAND was more expensive initially. Now it's harder t

In that case, Intel should be in big trouble, because the advertised TDP seems to be less than half the power required to reach the chips' advertised performance : > In this case, for the new 9th Generation Core processors, Intel
