That statement that Malone"invented"is mRNA vaccines is internet heresay. My information is that this woman did the most to creat mRNA vaccines. Her position as EVP of BioNGen suggest that she is the more respected scientist ...

Illinois is 100% agriculture. All the tech from Schaumburg and Naperville (W. Chicago) has been hollowed out. It's still relatively rich as a state ... You are forgetting that until recently in Brazil the USA had double the agricultu

It's a commodity business. Buy somebody's used 32nm fab and ship it to Canada if you want a toy to play with . .

Agreed; my dad interviewed to be a VP at Lockheed in the 1960s and eventually turned down the job saying, "All your problems are political! None are technical!"

In the USA we have a concept of a warrant of merchantability. This implies that if you buy a product that is defective the manufacturer must take it back within a short period usually 30 days or less. No exceptions. With cars it is slight

I think that only works for ISOs (incentive stock options), and now the rules on who can get them and how many can be issued are very restrictive.

fine print2: Google is a place where love of software goes to die. A place where PhDs work on CI/CD systems and edit robots for text config files.

Pretty unusual strategy charging $2000-$9000 per copy of an operating system for a computer that retailed for $4995 at introduction (PC-XT).

This is not really about Google. Websites block crawlers because they get abused / crashed by Crawlers. In the early days (2000-2010) Google not only got banned by some websites, it even got DNS-banned for abusing some DNS domains. Y

Just what's needed! Another code Nazi telling everybody the "right" way to program because they have seen it all, done it all, and now, finally, know it all! At least he put in a library unlike the Go designers who welded th

I for one don't think they deserve Jim Keller. They have been guilty of so many anti-competitive anti-trust moves that imho they have been as much a hindrance to progress in the computer industry - why would they deserve Jim Keller?

It's a problem of overproduction of electrical engineers by academia. I have met graduates of top-30 EE schools who work at quickie marts in North America. I'm not joking about this I was a professor at that top-30 department wh

A good idea in most parts of the world is not to measure $$$ but to measure compensation in sq. ft. of real estate per year. At my lowest-paid job (professor at top-30 school), i was paid 107 sq ft of take-home pay per year. I quit that t

First of all, my comment was in response to a flippant comment "Oh Starlinks gonna win." In that context its more information than the original commenter gave along with their 1-bit opinion. Oh yeah and I also interviewed with Lo

The i3 is Intel's most hated product as the margins are the lowest. So it sounds like giving the i3 to an outside foundry is just a way for them to get rid of their least profitable work and is not a sincere effort to move the compan

I heard that when the high school graduates with marketng degrees took over the company 7 years ago they laid off all the CPU architects. The funny thing is Intel has actually made a lot of really horrible architecture mistakes in the past

You mean starlink's failure will supplant loon's? Think carefully before you respond. I am one of about 5 engineers to help invent both globalstar and iridium.

I don't understand why google isn't recognized as just about the largest failure on the planet. Other than search and gmail, everything they start, dies.

Guys you just have too much faith in AI. AI is NOT all that smart. They probably bloced Ron Paul for the same reason they blocked this ad : https://nypost.com/2020/10/07/facebook-blocks-canadian-onion...

Look if you still fault them for doing the right thing why should they do the right thing? Give it a rest! Acknowledge that they have done the right thing now! People deserve credit for taking the correct moral stand unlike the terrorist

Jeff Dean invented BigTable that powers search, was a main author of the Google Mapreduce paper, and invented the tech that took Google translate from 85% accuracy to 96%. He is a big deal, bigger than linus, keller, kodhuri combined. The

I scream with laughter because most Samsung TVs are sold at MSRP which is 50% more than the competition and you see moron tv buyers going bananas for a trivial discount which makes them 35% more than the competition!

I've seen a lot of clickbait pages where the next button shows up and 10 seconds later at the end of the page load there's reflow and then an ad is placed where the next button used to be! So you end up clicking through an add on

20 years ago I predicted that advertisers would get a lot passed that made your front door a billboard owned by the city so they could put all the ads they wanted on your front door. I was just a few years too early!
