The non-geostationary design in low-earth orbit is mentioned with not much detail in this article and would generate far less power for a particular receiving location since it only periodically receives power -- so there are various object

Various issues with this tech: 1. "A 2,000 MW SSP system would require a ground receiver covering about 30 square kilometers" 2. The satellite would be in geostationary orbit, or 22,000 miles up, so a directed microwave beam would

Seems reasonable as a special part for super enthusiasts yea.. I guess I'm just more excited around the crazy high core count parts I guess than the high peak clock rates... 8 cores just feels like old news at this point for desktop I

Yea unclear who this chip is for with 8 cores burning so much power.. especially in the configuration where you overclock it crazily like this? or maybe i'm missing something?

For reference, until quite recently, chips that were referred to as being "14nm node" were actually built using light that was 193nm and lots of special techniques like multipatterning, immersion, crazy lenses, etc. So when EUV ar

Why don’t they just create a slack channel and pinned on that channel it says “hey here is a discord channel to go to…” Maybe the point of creating the channel actually is to get it banned so they can point to that for anti unionizing compl

Changing zoning in your neighborhood that you currently live in (and continue to want to live in) will likely change it, so for people to accept that risk they should be given an incentive.. for example within a given neighborhood what if t

So super mockable company but in many vacation communities some old folks die and pass on their nice house on the lake to their kids. So say 3 kids own the property now. So if timeshares are banned in that area I guess you would say those p

What’s the difference between photons coming off the gold ion traveling at 0.995c vs a high energy photon with a high frequency like a gamma ray? Like can’t you shoot 2 beams of gamma rays at each other and have matter anti matter pairs pop

This seems logical, especially if the person who got bronze was not expecting to get higher. If the person who had gotten gold previously got bronze they probably are not going to be feeling this way so, so a bit of an expectations game too

Anything to corroborate what you said that we can look at publicly? You've mentioned this story on a number of threads, so would be helpful to have a story to point to that was reported someplace when talking about this rather than say

100% agree that propublica didn’t do a good job, but the question remains, if somebody makes the claim that some billionaire sold some stock at long term gain prices, then in at least some tax year you would expect that massive amount of mo

by xt00 5y ago
A couple of questions I would love to see some info on: 1) if somebody actually sold say 100M in stock at long term cap gains rates they should be paying roughly 15% tax, but in these cases people paid far lower than 15%, so they must offse

Yes, that is the typical timeline for getting silicon into cars from my experience. They make announcements like this to tell engineers, "hey we are interested in this area, please check out our dev kits." Most likely in the ADAS
