Hit pieces like this only serve to further prove cameras shouldn't be in the courtroom. The seemingly archaic questions about phonographs and compact discs are not because the justices are living in the 70s, but an attempt to better u

Automatic window coverings are probably the killer application. It has a huge improvement in livability and can dramatically reduce energy consumption for heating and cooling.

At that time they thought they could destroy Unix. Its interesting to think of what could have been, but it was never a real possibility as far as microsoft was concerned.

Most notably Microsoft Basic was not compatible initially. The CP/M version is but that came much later.

This pattern of writing has been used for hundreds of years. It starts with a base mostly detached description dividing people into groups. The groups begin mundane or at least non-threatening. The idea is the reader will attach themselve

I don't think the final paragraph on why it wouldn't pop is a compelling argument. While I don't actually think the ant would explode - saying some ants live on mountains is not an argument against it. The explosion would o

Its ironic that Linux (i.e. the kernel) is the one part of the operating system explicitly not being used in WSL. GNU userspace may have won a victory but its sad its not under its own name.

Those lights were directly connected to the main bus which ran at several hundred khz to the low mhz. You never looked at them while the machine was running except as a way to confirm "something" was happening. You would not see

Wouldn't that imply you should be far more careful and selective with your choice of CEO since they can do much more damage? If anything I'd use this as an argument to pay as much as you can afford for the "best". Anyt

The problem with police violence is that they fundamentally do not see the murders of unarmed people as a problem. On Netflix's Flint Town, there is an episode where the Flint officers watch the video of a woman in the car with her hu

The difference is with analogue everything is a full custom, with digital it's only the trailblazers. Also linear devices require an order of magnitude more control and characterization than digital even when full custom.

Analogue fabs are highly customized. You could probably make some back of the napkin comparisons but you wouldn't be able to actually manufacture it in another fab without a lot more R&D spend.

America has never been short of this hypocrisy, most notably with Japan in the 90s. However one must reflect that the national corporatism in China is not free market as we understand it. The west's trade model is built around compan

CPU performance increases are a lot slower now so it now makes sense to spend time on custom RTL. In the past you would just wait 8 months and buy the new twice as fast CPU. FPGAs are a waste of Silicon compared to ASICs, but for fixed appl

"Single firm conduct" is not just "monopoly stuff". Dumping for example does not require a monopoly nor a willing partner. Additionally a company may not force resellers into a specific price regardless of whether they

anti-competitive behavior does not require a monopoly. For example two gas stations on a corner could enter into an agreement to fix prices. Neither has a monopoly on gasoline but the action is still illegal.

You would only take that liberty if you didn't have much respect for the law and its ability to touch you. I suspect companies are a lot more careful with each years new IRS rules even though they don't yet have case law and are
