Thank you for mentioning fusion. My money is on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polywell#Going_public I realize it does not appear nearly as promising as the many other fusion research programs. Having many competing fus

Intel's 14nm process uses 2 fins per gate for an SRAM cell size of 59nm x 59nm [1, corrected]. Samsung's 10nm process uses 3 fins per gate -- unknown what an apples-to-apples SRAM cell size would be on this node. It will be intere

Chattanooga's fiber network also has low ping times. That's something that matters to someone like me who uses SSH.

Ok, good analogy on how _businesses_ run their internet security. However, the government, and the DNC too, are only interested in security when they can't just use their thugs instead. We're way behind in cyberwarfare precisely b

No Diebold statement? They're still widely used and just as hackable. No need to sway the public opinion by releasing troves of party emails if you can just directly hack the vote itself!

Do you know of any other group that meets at Symantec with as much of a high profile as SVLUG? They would have at least considered the effect on SVLUG before making the decision. That much is clear. Then it stands to reason that this is an

I enjoyed playing corewar so much I wanted to reimplement it on Linux. I ended up never finishing it because I found myself inventing Google Wave (in 1997, in DOS). But it was a fun project.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence: to prove that science arises from some form of foreknowledge and intent requires demonstrating the knower and a falsifiable test of intent. Non-falsifiable discussion arising from Fermat'

See, switches in git are there because git maintains backward compatibility. Sometimes a switch really would logically be better as a whole new command. But it's a common refrain to hear that git hides useful things in the switches. Th

Thanks, and I agree on your quick analysis: no decisions yet. The NHTSB's policy will almost undoubtedly also need to be tested in court, as it appears on the surface that it over-simplifies some critical things.

I think nobody questions the need for fully autonomous cars. I do think there is still a lot of discussion needed in terms of autonomous car policy. What insurance requirements must be in place for a manufacturer, such as Tesla, when their

In order to build an artificial visual system, humans must grasp what their own visual system does. In order to describe what the human visual system does we use words like "dog" -- and I would agree with you, "big four-legge

Interestingly the challenge was finding a power source with enough thrust-to-weight for power flight. Heavier-than-air flight can be decomposed into "power source," "stability of design," and maybe "scale". So

It's not horribly misleading, Matt. If you view it from the perspective of the average Linux user, I think you'd agree that: 1. Lenovo is usually one of the first choices for a Linux laptop. 2. Lenovo obviously has made the call h

I'm waiting to see if this gets traction on HN. In case it doesn't, and so I can propose something only to the few who dig to the bottom of the comments: The problem is social. A technological solution will not suffice.

These suits are decided with "out of court settlements" 99% of the time. Especially if the suit is granted a change of venue to the Eastern District of Texas. Which really just means: this is a shakedown. That sure is a nice Steam

Great suggestions! We've basically imposed the "taxes on imports from said country, or ban those imports" on North Korea, with the result that they use the worst of environmental practices: • Inefficient small coal-burning fi

I'd be curious if anyone who has worked at Valve has any insights they would like to share. It's worth pointing out that Linus Torvalds has a successful continuous feedback system -- and it is his 99% job to provide feedback. I on
