In 2021 Broadcom semiconductor revenue was $18.8B out of $27.5 billion. Broadcom has a large portfolio of enterprise software offerings. The web page for their software offerings is at https://software.broadcom.com/ . The i

Yep, that's Broadcom's business model ... buy a business (VMWare), ignore its smaller customers, upsell the Fortune 500 on the product (VMWare) to push out competing solutions, and keep the line items on those Fortune 500 bills gr

Looks very compelling, I'm curious as to whether it covers all the bases. At my day job the sales-side folks Zoom with customers all day to discuss financial API integrations. Every potential customer is different. They draw out ever

Waking up the cryo-preserved in future won't revive an unbiased and informed cross-section of the current populace.

My bigger worry about cryogenics is about the people on the "other side" of the freeze. Why do they want to wake you up? They won't look at the tag on the frozen toe and read "ALS" and figure they want to wake you

PyCharm with type-hinting and "inspections" (which include pseudo-static analysis for appropriate type use) have only added to the awesomeness of great code navigation, refactoring, auto-completion, code-formatting, etc. If you&#x

My parents grew up in depression-era rural and small-town USA, and us siblings were really into milk as well, a lot of cold, cold milk. In Latin America where we mostly grew up we stood out, neighborhood friends thought it strange we'

Prosciutto-wrapped cantaloupe is standard Italian fare (prosciutto e melone), I can't see bacon-wrapped banana unreasonably far from that. Going to try it tomorrow morning.

Is useful, worthwhile knowledge in a "sparse" search space? If so it will take more and more effort to reach anything new, and we'll need generations-long moonshot efforts to force young kids to skip their childhoods to dedi

I think the difference is that in Kettle Logic the presenter knows the truth, and the truth doesn't match any of the inconsistent affirmatives ... or else it mostly matches one of them but the presenter believes it's easier for th

Sounds plausible. Also in a kleptocracy there likely are opportunities to siphon loads of cash away from military programs and short-change equipment and training needs. An oligarch might think, "Russia will not need to wage a sophisti

I find little comfort in it. By the time your 120-200 imperial pounds becomes food, you will have shat another 25,000 pounds that has gone into a sewer or elsewhere and fed some bacteria down the line.

Lowering "effective" wealth inequality might help, and probably happens to some degree. Distract the rich and suck their money into pissing contests over status goods whose commerce does not infringe on the supply/demand of g
