The speed is within your view in the top right corner of the big screen. It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. I thought the lack of stalks and a center screen was going to be an issue. Now I feel like it’s overblown and YouTubers&#x

The US Govt. gave EUV tech to Silicon Valley Group and a couple others to commercialize. They excluded ASML and a couple Japanese companies. ASML eventually bought SVG and after a couple decades of research and investments they have EUV mac

Apple is the same as any car dealership nowadays. They give techs a very limited time, if any, to diagnose an issue. The solution is always to replace parts. Most of Apple’s solutions are replacing the logic board instead of fixing anything

Are you talking about mini splits being 1-1.5k? In the US, it’s more common to have 1 or 2 large units pumping into ducts in every room of the house.

You need to attract PHDs and account for logistics. If you want to attract top talent you need to be in a desirable place or be a desirable place with access to desirable places.

Years ago I was able to visit Zeiss in Oberkochen. They had a fantastic headquarters with a few older lithographs. I think a couple of the instruments were 80 millions dollars or so. There’s a facility across from the Autobahn that was so s

Imagine you have to print out map directions before you leave your house so you can reach your destination. Map quest and later google maps worked like this. Otherwise you would have to read a map while driving and even pull over.

Can the falcon 9 fix the Hubble? I agree having a space plane as your only launch vehicle is very short sighted but I think a space plane has some very unique capabilities.

Peanuts are quite unique in many respects. They peg the soil after flowing above ground. The peg shoots down into the soil and forms the peanut. They are nitrogen fixing like most legumes. There are small nodules their roots that harbor nit

IPS panels have the best color accuracy and viewing angles. VA can produce the best blacks but pixels are slow to change. TN are the cheapest and historically have the best refresh rates.

100% disagree. I went with 2 4K monitors years ago. When I switched to an ultra wide lat year it was a night a day difference. I wish I never bought 2 4k monitors (or dual monitors at all). Ultra wide is perfect and has a more functionality

What places are you working where executives are 26 and 55 is too old? My experience is very very different. Hearing experiences like these make me glad I never got a job at a startup or smaller “tech” company.

Use the Unifi phone app to manage them. You can manage the APs themselves without logging into anything. I’d recommend updating the firmware after 8 years, you can always do a hard reset to get the original back.

Why does everyone complain like it is an American issue? It’s an Elon issue, he hates unions and does it very publicly. For decades, Ford and others have factories in Europe and have union members.
