Ammonia is like hydrogen - not a fuel source but merely a fuel storage medium. Further we used to common use ammonia for refrigeration before Freon became a thing - the reason we don't use it for that except in very limited large scale

I had one. Primarily because I spent about 33% of my time at SNL (Sandia National Laboratories, not Saturday Night Live). I was working with rad-hardened semiconductors in the context of weapons effects as well as natural space radiation.

The automotive industry presumed they were higher delivery priority than they really were. By volume they were not thus they had lower priority when things got squeezed. The auto industry also had unreasonable chip reliability demands - ph

I can't image Apple engineers don't know this. But it might have been a negotiating give-away to the (tech-ignorant) government akin to gun control laws banning rifle-mounted bayonets and calling it "gun control progress&quo

Why do companies not address CUSTOMER retention? It's the same reason. The things you must do for retention are both "boring" and not revenue/reward generating, and you have to "bake in" those measures into yo

Yes, this is amazing to watch. The lack of self-awareness particularly. Wokeness is an Elitist "Luxury Product" - it's a show of wealth, a show of position, and a show of virtue. Showing rank is especially necessary when th

Sounds like you don't understand secure communications and basic concepts like bit-error-rate, QoS and reliability. Hash collisions have NOTHING to do with effectiveness or reliability of communication. A feature is a benefit!

Sorry but online tools like this are still Fail. Not everyone has online access 24x7: I don't have it where I live; I travel enough for work to not have it on travel about 50% of the time; I work with customers to whom we sell product,

Yes. But this is nothing new for even Apple. Just go an look at WWDCs for the last 10-15 years. There have been regular MDM sessions to talk about featured added to iOS and MacOS for this. This is also related to agreements made years ago

Mostly it's that the USA has been obsessed with Russian even since the end of the Cold War, with literally no one in DOD thinking seriously about China as a threat. Very much like 1930s Japan to be honest.
