We do have a "boomlet"-ing tech scene in St Louis, MO and metro areas in the surrounding states. The thing that crimps the growth is access to risk capital. Companies here had to list with a bay area address, just to get a look fr

The first time I landed in the US, I took SuperShuttle from the airport to my apartment 60 miles away. The company I worked for had paid for it ahead of time and they dropped me at the door. Sad to see the business go away, because of VC su

Depends on the who the "own" is. Local police in most cities are quite brutal to people of color.

There is no "How to" here as far as I can see. If the usable tools were cheap enough, multi-project wafers may be affordable enough for small volume chips. But the open source/cheap tools are not up to snuff, especially for d

What's egregious is they even got fake accredition. That said, I think the people who signed up should have suspected a fake university given there were no actual classes. These people were probably merely looking to maintain legal imm

It probably does, but the far left is not so big and rabidly destructive at the present time, at least from the available evidence. That might change, of course.

No that's not how you do giant chips. Even at the scale of CPUs, there are enough bad parts that it's uneconomical to throw away chips. What Intel/AMD do, for example, they make 4-core chips. If one core doesn't work, th

The same article says the level of NDMA is similar to that in barbecue meat. So much medicine recalled, and panic from major manufacturers (why didn't they test before panicking?), over a result that may not be even accurate in the fi

Both can be true simultaneously. Targeted ads work where they reinforce and expand on existing inclinations and beliefs. They don't work so well when you're trying to sell in general or raise awareness of your brand. So someone wh

Well, my name cannot be accurately represented in Latin characters. Most people in Taiwan adopt an English name because the Mandarin one is hard on computers and communicating with English-speaking businesses.

The ideal way to tax the increase of property value is at a liquidity event (ie sale) when the owner has the cash, and limit the cash required of the owner just because there's a bubble. That's kind of how capital gains on stocks

There's plenty of infrastructure where I am in a suburb of St Louis. We could also use some liberal SV people to help tip the politics the right way in my county. We have a few clients here too, they are not all on the coasts. Many mid

It will allow other ad networks to compete. And other search engines to get ad revenue.

Exactly, there was a cost to figuring how to offshore the job. Now that it's harder to retain the international talent in the US, if you want to remain competitive, you have to setup overseas. Once you overcome the barrier, expansion o

The trick would have been to adjust the gas tax as the crude prices fell to keep the overall fall relatively modest. But of course that boat has sailed.

This looks interesting, but it's very early days. No mention of reliability, variation, interconnect (modern CMOS processes have 8-10 layers of interconnect). Certainly not taking on CMOS anytime soon.

Yeah, I had wondered why companies advertise on their own name. The other day I was looking up ad word ideas, and the cheapest option was to run it against a top player in the field. Search volume was as high as a generic search, but only c

Faxes have one crucial advantage over email. The police need a wiretap authorization to intercept them. Of course if your fax machine is connected to the internet (as most are today), they can get around that by hacking.

I remember spending a lot of time in the library reading non-course work academic books and journals. Definitely loved that we had a well stocked library for a developing country.

I studied many years of calculus. Guess how many times I've used calculus in my electrical engineer career. 0. When needed, I use a math package instead. Statistics, on the other hand, I encounter daily, but don't have the experti

I'm not even sure they do political coverage too well. From the outside it appears the editors live in an insular world that doesn't feel anything like the one outside. They do cover a lot of things, I feel they'd do better i

Sun released OpenSparc as open source (including the design) in 2006. It was obsolete already and was hard to work with. I don't think it got anywhere. The PowerPC is perhaps better placed, may not get much farther.
