As opposed to what? All countries use the same argument to push popular programs, even if it makes little sense. I don’t see the US using the argument more than Spain for instance. We’ve had a new “educational reform” every ~8 years with ev

You could also get your Phd by doing useless stuff for 3 to 5 years and kissing enough ass.

I was never very optimistic about Ara. In general, modular electronics is a good idea in paper, but a terrible one in practice. - It comes with quite the price tag, adding connectors everywhere gets expensive fast . - Some interfaces are v

“Choice” is precisely the problem. It’s not much of a choice when developers have all of the knowledge and users can’t even begin to understand how the apps work.

I hope Epic loses in a spectacular way. At this point, if Apple is forced to allow third parties, I'll lose one of the best time savers I have in my life. Having switched all of my family and close relatives to Apple gives me the freed

It's not infinitely costly anyway. If this is keeping people from switching, then the costs are infinitessimal. Samsung has great importers for you to switch platforms.

And who are they asking? Because I think you overestimate how many tech savvy people are there. Most people I've heard referred as "tech savvy" are just plain old gamers, and they can be easily tricked.

And who draws the line of what is "legitimate" interest? Because the Gawker type "journalist" will tell you that there's no such line, and clearly leaked dickpics are a "legitimate interest" of their reade

Please don't, the only thing worse than no response is a byzantine system that makes you think there's a path and becomes the biggest time sinkhole of your life. Just vote with your feet and move out of their services, life on t

While big company politics play a role, IMO the main driver is that all of these companies have shifted their activities. It used to be the case that these companies would build stuff (this doesn’t only apply to cars), and charged for that

Yes, I’ve worked with a lot of these different tiers. The thing here is that these subcontractors are squeezed so hard on margins that lean manufacturing is the only way to go. Most automotive electronics is built around COTS (components of

All these articles seem to miss the point between why the car industry is facing shortages, and conflate it with the shortages on high end silicon devices (which have very different causes). High end devices have seen a massive bottleneck

No car is using anything even near 7nm. The automotive sector is very cost sensitive and if anything, there’s too much complexity because they insist on using parts that are too old.

tbh, the problem with options is that you can loose a lot of money that you don't have . People start to play with strategies without fully grasping how they work, and especially how exposed you are if you sell naked options. It'

This is how hiring works in most public tech centers and colleges here in Spain. The job postings are useless, if you want to work there what you need is an introduction (someone to give your CV to a lead that needs hands on deck). Then 2 t
