This is how it almost always is. It's the bureaucratic horror of large companies (for me, even HP when it was a Fortune 20 company, had it's irritations) that drove me to entrepreneurship. Being bought always means you have to re

Imagine an IPO for a company without any requirement to make money, follow conventional accounting standards, delivery any actual product. It's an open-ended but legalized form of money laundering and fraud.

The "leading edge" of most corner technologies are usually better in analog. For example, SDRs in radio are only effective up to a certain data rate and frequency bandwidth. At some point analog signal processing (in this case c

In many cases analog solutions are STILL the most powerful. My company is working on one such right now. The digital standard implementation can't remotely keep up and is literally 100x large in volume to even come close even if you

The guys involved are licensed for pretty much anything. If you watch the "hydraulic press channel" you'll know these people (Pommijätkät); he's collaborated with them a number of times on their "beyond the press&qu

I can only offer "becoming Zen". People constantly praise me for being Zen about things that upset everyone else; it apparently grants me much "leadership points" among my peers and direct reports. It's mostly bec

"The numbers" they are using under report because most victims have stopped filing reports due the DAs in LA and SF not bother to prosecute people and bailing them out on the cheap. Further the state source is 1 year old delayed.

That's nice. That won't change how many hours I work... And because that I'm be ahead of anyone stupid enough to take a 32-hour week. 100% Ok with that.

TSMC is working on similar things. At one time this research was shared amongst members of Sematech (which is the origin of the current NanoTech center in Albany where this work was done). But about 10 years ago, Sematech broke up as compa

This is why "polishing the silver" was a routine and repeated task for servants from the 19th century back. Imagine how much silver was last and discarded by doing this!

Fundamental fact of corrosion: it's 100% "battery" electrochemistry; without exception. That "battery" can be enhance by chemicals in the environment e.g. rust on cars from salt on roads or it happens naturally as

Useful compendium. The thermodynamic efficiency issue with ALL TEGs is that it's governed by the temperature difference (akin to Carnot), which with semiconductor TEG materials is VERY LIMITED. Thus the efficiency and yields are going

The thing is the time-constants of atmospheric green house gases are in the centuries so you can't change any of it quickly. To Wit: if the deadline is 2035 or 2050, we are all already dead if such predictions were true (they are NOT)

And that really the point: look at most of the media solutions of the last 50 years and the most successful were "subsidized" by a larger consumer or business market. otherwise the cost is "pure" (1:1 R&D to Revenu

This is NOT a good way of treating presbyopia! There absolutely are side effects from administering drugs that dilate or constrict the pupil - this is NOT a safe thing to do. There are general autonomic nerve effects that can have long-t

Publish ALL prices prior to admission. There are hospitals overseas who precisely publish their prices for standard procedures. This is why pre-COVID I would travel overseas for any medical procedures that could be scheduled ahead of time:

The presumption that other people aren't smart enough to do what you can or imagine has a name: bigotry. The "shouldn't exist" is bigotry. It's also evidence that we see even today that knowledge is fragile and eas

Given that it's 9:1 illegal to legal in the SF Bay Area, even this tax break might now be enough to matter. It's already lower risk and high profit to sell illegally rather than legally.

For medical diagnosis when you get older, having that data will actually be useful in the next 20-40 years to diagnosing things that will happen to you then.

There's not all that much worthwhile on the internet once you look at things soberly and objectively. Kind of like how sportsball really doesn't matter in the big picture. It (like the internet) is a useful "Opiate of the Ma

Ah yes, when your own shitty leadership skills cause laid-off workers to drop productivity, it's their fault. This guy sounds like a typical sociopath or narcissist in management (not a leader). What did you expect, moron?! He doesn&

The only "safe" option is: 1. Absolutely minimize your internet exposure in ALL ways - avoid using internet-enabled tools AS A DEFAULT 2. Take personal responsibility for your and your family's security by non-internet means.
