I think there are clearly good reasons to have a regional state of the art foundry available to all comers. It seems likely to be the equivalent of a national lab in terms of accelerating R&D even if they charge a modest profit. I thin

Or a non-profit foundry that serves every semiconductor company in the US. Intel is welcome to help...

It is because their size and monopoly position makes then threatening of course. I imagine they will be less threatening after getting broken up but so far there's little evidence that will actually happen. I'd say it's reali

Don't forget hypercard, that let us run whatever we wanted on Macs. On windows though, we discovered that if you use the save or open dialogs you can just browse wherever, right click, and run the exe. It sounds like that was a bit bef

That's true, even if only 1% of users are on each of 99 servers while the rest do something else, 1% of users will be frustrated when their server breaks, like with email. Good point.

This is a perfect time to learn about using matrix... which is how I told my friends that I usually talk to on signal that signal was broken. It's actually decentralized so like email only one server goes out at a time.

True story, I've been using Matrix with Element for a while. I don't use it for anything much because no one else is on it. Some friends and I have a groupchat on Signal and we decided it would be good to have a backup method to c

And those are also very good questions since the PIN thing was new and new things could indicate being hacked, and people changing their public key is a thing that Signal does seem to try to de-emphasize as a strong security signal so I&#x2

I'm confused, payment processors often stop working with criminals, or even non-criminals that are just in "unseemly" industries. PayPal arbitrarily freezes people's accounts for even possibly being scams, why not obviou

So getting rid of it would let me sue Google for letting people forward conspiracy theories in emails? Huh. Sorry, I think you actually do want a new law, not to modify this one. I have no idea how to define the websites that you want this

Plus side, the amount of money seems realistic. TSMC's latest node at 5nm/3nm was like $16B and so 10x doesn't sound outrageous if playing catchup. I do wonder how many people will be involved; it could be like ITER where eve

Yet tech salaries in Vancouver combined with real estate values make it so that most tech jobs are barely living wage, at least when my partner and I tried hard to make it work some years ago. Even with universal health care (which wasn&#x2

Alas, I deleted all my YouTube videos when they decided to start commercializing them. The big ones were a really really good audio analysis algorithm, wifi lights from 2010 (subsequently patented by everyone else), lights with eight wavele

I'm sure. You need to mass produce low end stuff or else have the scale to insure serious installations. There's not really an in between that I'm finding other than art pieces. I'm not very interested in commodity stuff

I have built and continue to build extremely sophisticated LED lights. But there's no market for fancy anymore. I maybe made back my expenses, though I have a bunch of lights at home to show for it I guess.

That is very exciting! My old karate instructor owned a sushi restaurant and I got the strong impression that the mob looked poorly on attempts to export. He may have been exaggerating.

Wasabi is impossible to get in the USA, my understanding was that this was because of Japan's rules rather than those if the USA. We just have horseradish with green food coloring in the USA.

Ah. Okay, I am talking about how native English speakers read the phrase. I do not think your definition is good enough. If I tell someone "there was violence downtown" to me it carries extremely strong tones of physical injury. I

They rioted and destroyed property. Some people were probably scared. That sucks. It also sucks that stuff got busted. I'm sure some people will get arrested and charged with things. But these are things solved with money. No one was i

I'm not saying property damage isn't an attack. I'm not saying it is okay. I am saying that if you call something violence you absolutely imply physical harm. Call it something less ambiguous to make clear that what is going

My main point is that the spin is so strong that if they had instead written "workers who believe they are being taken advantage of riot and destroy factory" it would be a heck of a lot less inflammatory (and is more accurate) tha

Property Damage is not violence, it is vandalism. Using the wrong word sends a totally different and wrong message, the things being damaged are just stuff. Stuff probably worth less than the amount of salary they are owed. The bias in th

I'm definitely never going to work for a startup with an MBA in charge ever ever again. They enjoy negotiating and often assume that their employees do too, so it's like pulling teeth to get the smallest issues dealt with, much

It is better to make sure that the reactor won't corrode through just from the molten salts prior to testing it with radioactive molten salt. This is currently not clear.

Uh, or you could compromise with them and act like two adults? This isn't a zero sum game.

Yes, definitely valuable. On the other hand, people are demonstrably less generous in their assumptions about other people's motivations and more likely to objectify them in the classic sense if they have not and will almost certainly

Sorry, there must be some overlapping terminology. I mean time shifting as in what devices such as TiVo did where they would record your shows for you and allow them to play them back whenever you wanted. For some reason Cable companies rea

If they didn't show ads I doubt they would have cared as much about time shifting and ad skipping would never have been relevant. Sure would have helped them avoid collapsing. Let's not pretend they weren't incredibly hostile

I have posted tutorials and art on YouTube since before they were Google. I am also glad that this move has finally given me the push needed to delete my channel entirely. I don't try to make money off it, I have no interest in Google
