No the fundamental problems was the econmists at the time believe in fixed exchange rates and that's why the got suckered into Bretton woods despite it being a crappy deal, specially for Britain. I didn't help that the American at

This likely makes sense because of some regulatory frameworks that require 'offical' standards.

Sorry that I called something that is called salt salt. I guess I shouldn't have said 'literally'. And that doesn't really change any argument I made in my post.

The fancy Emmentaler sometimes has water in the holes. So that increases the weight.

When I was in the US and told people I was from Switzerland or said 'Swiss' most people said 'I love Sweden'. So I'm not surprised.

If they are close in taste then you have very mild versions and sup-par versions of them.

Because this isn't the sort of problem some tech bro entrepreneur can solve. Its a systematic problem in the whole supply chain that end with consumer demand. And this is harder to do, once that whole supply chain has been destroyed. Y

Good cheese is hard to like, and even here we are judgmental. People who buy the cheap Emmentaler from the supermarket vs the more fancy one from the cheese shop. Most American 'swiss cheese is garbage' sorry. Then the 'Mild

Sounds like you should apply to Oxide Computer.

The leak you mention have killed no people and didn't involve civilan nuclear waste. I didn't even hurt anybody, and the envoirments isn't harmed by it basically at all. And that would be an argument about reactor safty not c

This is what the OpenHW Foundaiton is for. Providing well verified cores for people who just need a core. They are based on the original Pulp Cores from the ETH Zürich and Unviersity of Bolongia. See: https://openhwfoundation.org

You could maybe attach an external SRAM. Bit more ideal then putting SRAM in the NMOS chip on die.

by panick21 1y ago
Oh yeah totally agree. I was just thinking at the primary sales package, most people likely would open the box and put in new rams. Developing a standard socket makes a huge aomunt of sense. Back then every company had their own standard (o

Tell me how many people and how much has the environemnt been hurt in 70 years of civilian nuclear waste managment? And can you tell my any reason we couldn't cotinue to do this for another 300 years?

by panick21 1y ago
The waste can stay close to the reactor for literally the few 100 years in most cases, its not actually a problem. The zone where you can't live anyway around a reactor has enough space for local waste storage. And if in the next 100 y

Yeah that was in the 90s. I always thought PA-RISC was a great RISC and it an interesting concept. But even in that case that wouldn't have been the CPU. Commodore never dared to do that after the 6502 (of course that team left Commodo

Thank you, damn my dyslexia. My hands type by themselves and my brain has no idea what's going on.

That is defently the limitation that you need to improve over time. And eventually you likely split the graphcis memory off from the main memory. To improve performance you need to start to add cache in or around your CPU/MMU and you n

I mean NeXT machine was much more expensive then what you could have done. And need far more RAM. And of course it also used mostly commodity chips. As far as I know, but I haven't looked, they don't have fully integrated IO chips
51.
by panick21 1y ago
Yes. When I was playing around with different configuration for what a machine could look like back then, you realize that the RAM cost is dominate. So you can develop as many chips as you want, that leads to high fixed cost, but the margin

by panick21 1y ago
If you really take seriously what you could have done for a home computer if you had started with fully integrated chips, its actually insane. Imagine if you had an Amiga Chipset and you had combined it with a RISC like chip. If you did tha

I care about spaceflight and technology, not that crazy in a forum focused on technology. Why are you here in a thread about NASA and SpaceX if you don't care? Just to a snarky troll? I can talk about many NASA contracts, not just thos

by panick21 1y ago
This is the objective reality, but NASA choices was simply based on money. You can read the technical selection paper. Both Blue and SpaceX proposal met the minimal requirments, and SpaceX was cheaper by at least 50%. So they won the select

I have read most of this threads and most threads about space on HN. There are occational full on Musk shills but I would argue its very much not the norm. And those comments are usually not long or detailed. Almost everybody that actually

Well people always assert that, but I don't think evidnece totally backs this up. Tesla stock went to around 200-250$ when they showed substained profit, growth and margin. And since then it has hovered around that number. I don't

I didn't really care because they were not 'all-in' it was never all that big of thing. But yeah it was defently stupid.

by panick21 1y ago
Not really, its only the big question if US makes it the question. If the US just says yeah we done that, that's not our focus. And then China does maybe a flags and footprints landing, while shortly after the US has a base there. The

I'm not sure what are talking about. I don't like giving contracts to SpaceX because they are the right kind of people, I like it because they tend to deliver faster and at less cost with something more modern and more future look

> China is the closest and will likely have something equivalent to the Falcon 9 within the next 2 years. That's wildly optimistic. Falcon 9 launches operationally 100+ a year and single boosters with 20+ uses. Even if in the next 2
