Supriyo Datta is a pretty top level semiconductor theory guy, so its a good chance theoretically this could work, but the place where tons of issues have come up over the years in using new materials is that they often lead to quality or de

Which chips are those? Most of those solutions I had seen were not actually a single output stage but rather each band had dedicated pins that went out to dedicated PA's in many cases. So wifi/BT has its own antenna and front end

Only in WiFi bands.. so not super flexible as you would expect from an actual SDR rig.. or maybe I’m missing that it can actually transmit in other bands ?

I get the sense the physicists are a different breed of thinker.. it’s like normal people are like “nice I have a car that can get me to work and back..” and physicists are like “imagine an atom was a car and you wanted to go to the edge of

The title was promising, but the data, yes definitely seems to be skewed and fairly strange... I was hoping to find something like actual net worth by age.. you can also just calculate what people probably want to know anyway.. like if I&#x

Totally agree that they are separate things but I’m talking about how the technology was immediately leveraged.. for example if we were talking about how roads can be used for lots of things other than allowing cars and trucks to drive fast

Blockchain's primary utility is in creating what initially was a complicated way to allow people to convert money into another currency that was easy to transfer around the world and use in ways that people would not want to use real f

This article came up a couple of years ago on HN and basically the author makes a super broad generalization that I think holds near zero water. I am from the US and have spent a ton of time in China, Taiwan, Korea, and Japan. And the prima

I think people will always be scared of losing their job or their way of life changing.. so coming up with reasons why somebody who is different from you is somehow not as good at what you do, is a comforting path to go down for many people

Quite a bit of the iPhone production is automated from what I understand. Basically many of the sub components before they get to Foxconn for final assembly have huge chunks automated. Apple uses a lot of automation and people. Their idea

Yes definitely.. was truly amazing the number of those phones they built and sold.. pretty amazing phone for the time..

Yea, Motorola was not making like 100 million phones in a quarter that had the complexity iphones do.. the actual crazy thing that I can vouch for is that apple actually has a ludicrous amount of people at many factories that feed into Foxc

Just thinking about it actually, I just realized.. if Germany has free healthcare then that takes a big chunk out of the spreadsheet. Companies adding more employees don’t have a fixed per worker cost that is as high if the government pays

I should also mention, one thing that doesn’t seem obvious to me is why rich companies don’t actually just pay their fulfillment employees more? I’m assuming they are worried that they may not be able to expand their operation due to costs

The size of the stater brothers operation sounds much smaller than amazon’s. So I would assume the potential upside would be small for somebody to come in and compete. But good point. I’ve been following the whole union thing with Boeing fo

Women getting into an area doesn’t bring down value as the title implies.. but one thing in the article I think is true that areas that are more accessible to get into with fewer years of training such as from code camp graduates, then the

I think amazon can come up with a way to make the job less stressful and all that, but I think the articles point that amazon comes in and replaces jobs that were unionized basically misses the point. Over the past 20 years tons of factorie

Oh cool, so do they actually have "Buy it now with 1-click" on the amazon japan webpage? I'm super curious if they have it or if its actually used by people?

If you do online check in with a japanese airline like ANA or JAL its kind of hilarious how many things you have to click to confirm just about everything... "Click here to go to online check in", then you are there and its like &

The problem with actually running is that it likely will burn way more power at any speed where its trying to run, so this likely would be really boring to watch -- "he has 2 more seconds of his turbo to use... ohhh... and he's ou

Yea I’ve used a variety of battery charging circuits in designs I’ve done and measuring voltage and current are pretty easy but measuring capacity is not obvious instantaneously — you have to store a history of how voltage changed while cha

How does the iPhone know the battery has been replaced? Cycle counter? If the cycle counter is stored on the battery then fine but if stored on the phone then it seems like replacing the battery might not solve the problem..

The SSD will run much cooler, so you can just tape in the same spot as the old hard drive and you should be fine. The reason you wouldn’t want to just let it hang someplace would be that it could end up getting hotter than the hard drive ac
