No, they are not from Isocline... There are groups at UCSB and U-Tenn working on analog neural network technologies as well.

Bigger issue seems to be people overestimate how much they spend on fuel. You buy the car once, but you refuel it hundreds of times over its lifetime, giving the impression that fuel is a big expense. For example, if you assume $0.073/

Any time part of an organization is given resources, they must use those resources to justify having them and continuing to have them. They probably rarely have cause to perform this sort of raid, so they do so at any opportunity.

Here is a paper from 2011 where they claim 7 or 8 bits/cell http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=587322... This research seems to take program/erase cycles into greater account.

As far as I can tell, this is a win for encryption. It says that device manufacturers need to help law enforcement break into a device, but they do not need to create any backdoors. If Apple/Google/etc make it impossible for them

There are pro's and con's to studying the literature. The main pro is that you can avoid a dead end. The main con is that your ideas will be shaped by the literature (i.e., not as unique). I tend to try to solve a problem myself f

Some of these locations don't have any other companies in the area. Example: You're 22, straight out of college, you take a job at IBM in Poughkeepsie, NY because it was a great fit for you and you liked the area. You raise a fami

The All Writs Act requires that the request NOT be a burden to the company that the request is being sent to. Isn't it a burden to affect Apple's marketing strategy?

You can dissolve up to 2 grams of sugar into every 1 gram of water, Starbucks is just trying to help push the boundaries on that science.

I wonder if this is a side-effect of the current silicon-valley investment scene. There are lots of low-capital startup opportunities, so who wants to fund the high-capital startups in computer hardware? There have been very few computer ha

Let's say someone gets a PhD - that takes ~5 years. So instead of entering the workforce at 22, they enter the workforce at 27. If they retire at 70, then their working hours went down from 48 years of work to 43 years of work, or ~10%

I don't get the table of subsidies - according to Google, Eastern Michigan has a $10.73M annual budget, but the table says that they have a $120M subsidy. For comparison, the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, has a budget of around $1

In articles about "innocent until proven guilty" it is popular to say that it is better to let 100 guilty go free than one innocent be erroneously convicted. Yet, many are willing to seize assets before that person is proven guilt

For the cyber-criminals there is little or no per-user cost to implement this attack. The refuse-to-pay strategy works when there is some hope of making their attack not worth their effort. To make it not profitable, you would have to convi

There is also an imbalance in negotiating position in these agreements. If every credit card company you deal with says you must agree to arbitration, what leverage do you have to push back on that? There's just not enough competition

At the very least it's going to affect power consumption. I agree that they probably went for iso-performance. Analogy: if you build one thing out of steel and one thing out of aluminum, you can get the same weight or the same strength

You make it sound like if you're not #1 in your class you'll be living homeless on the street. This is the exact type of exaggeration the article is discussing. There are many things in between Nobel Prize Winner and unemployed.

I don't think anyone doubts that we'll continue to make improvements in process technologies until the sun explodes, the main questions are pace and benefits. Yes, we can create shorter channels using more/different materials

You could say that about the initial stage of the war, but can you maintain an occupying force for years against a sophisticated country? In that case, we would eventually run out of F-35's due to sabotage or maintenance issues. This i
