You would prefer the inventor to be basically ensured of financial destruction and disincentivized in the first place, sounds great for society.

Personally, I don't really see the value proposition in being able to load and serve you ads faster, compared to a browser with a proper ad blocker.

None of these advantages invent you a novel radio technology that is competitive with 5G yet unencumbered by existing patents. Designing a modem to spec is the easy part.

When I was in China we saw this on many straight stretches of roads. Just watching.

Yeah, its not like the sitting president introduced 25% steel tariffs and 10% aluminum tariffs or anything.

You can draw a small amount of current from the logic signal in high state and store it in a small amount of capacitance, a low enough power device would be able to operate off of it. There is a class of sensors which use and interface cal

What do you do with 8MB when the OS is 512MB+? Adding NOR Flash is normally pretty simple -- No bad blocks and a standard SPI interfaces most embedded devices have controllers for. The high end controllers can typically map NOR flash direc

Raw NAND is highly preferable to SD or USB drives. You can at least have wear leveling in the OS/FS. SD/USB are bad because most have dumb controllers and just rewrite a page when it changes. Raw NAND is also consistent and meet

Except most M0 cores will have 1 or 2 cycle internal flash memory reads, and this has slow external flash.

Tampering with evidence, which includes destroying evidence is also a crime. IANAL so I'm not sure at what point a phone becomes evidence, i.e. once there is a indictment, once there is a warrant, t=0, etc. John Carmack got in troubl

I doubt his experiences were primarily in the city -- absolutely no mention of homelessness, human excrement, or hypodermic needles, incredible!

Reminds me of an article about some powerful men on wall street that do not use email. Doing most of your written communication through an assistant would give you a great deal of plausible deniability. Also reminds me of someone else con

Intel and AMD already provide most of the necessary code to motherboard manufacturers. Why would a motherboard manufacturer want to share their code with their competitors?

Intel lost out on the mobile revolution because the mobile revolution was about radio technology and not processor technology. Outside of buying Qualcomm for patents and radio designs, anything Intel could have tried was doomed to fail.

I would not rule out 3D from processors yet. Such an invention would be able to reduce die size and likely cost. Heat density is probably the real problem and may need some additional inventions. The 3D memories will probably see some pla

Beyond the complications you raise in management, it is just a straight major legal risk. How can you argue or prove any relationship between boss and subordinate is consensual?

by mattthebaker 8y ago
Its also company policy that you should be fired on the spot for sleeping at your desk -- some kind of hold over from manufacturing that makes no sense for most office positions. Risk exposure to lawsuit is incomparable to the relationship

Neither modern NAND (3D) nor 3D XPoint are directly dependent on planar silicon scaling.

PCM to Micron is an existing product/design that is NOR-Flash like but utilizes PC material as the storage medium. 3D XPoint is said to be able to stack the storage medium on the die and requires no access transistor -- which "PCM

The 'unworkable ideas' can typically only be determined in hindsight. Pushing the cutting edge will always result in some paths that lead to nowhere. Theranos was a good idea, the tragedy was rampant fraud.

Honestly, having children is one of the most selfish things you can do. I.e. thinking your genetic material is special and passing it on to another person in an overcrowded world. Any “sacrifice” in raising a child is not — they are half yo

We're talking CPU idle and hibernate being nearly essentially the same. Instant.

Intel NVM Systems and Micron have been partnered since the early days of both of their starts in NAND. Investment in R&D and fabs are shared between the two companies. Intel is largely pushing 3DXP down the pipe from the CPU groups as
