When I was building data enters in populated areas there were regulations for noise, visual signature, power usage, and etc. It looks like a lot of these newer sites are in low regulation areas. Which is great for profit margin, and not

Yeah, that might not be the best example. Normally you’d want a double seal or really tuned compression to reliably hit IP68. And the o-ring adds a manufacturing step. And you have to design the case to properly compress the oring. And

Z stack strength and rigidity is a huge driver because it reduces charge back. Margins are super tight for a lot of OEMs and the PMs eliminate any non-profit features. Off the top of my head, there are savings in: Pick and place Stack Asse

Can confirm. Dmitry saved the Fire tablet by finding an error in TI’s BSP while J.S. documented the repro steps, and gave me the info to get it fixed. This was during manufacture, 3 days before public release iirc. He also rescued the Bo

The Amiga had good DTP software and hardware at the time. I used them for large format printing. They were initially faster and much cheaper than the Apple solutions. Once the Quadra’s came out it was all over.

Are you sure? A quick review of the budget over time shows that the biggest outlays are on food and drugs, which seems correct? In fact the medical drug industry is what, $300B and food is around $1.2T? The FDA is around $8B or .5% of

I used to do fast descents of Bonny Doon and similar. Think 60Mph / 100kmhr at the base. With my fat butt and damp brakes I would run through the stop signs at the bottom using rim brakes. I’ll never go back to rim brakes now that I’

No. The baseband can DMA what it wants, when it wants. The baseband PMIC can power what it wants when wants. The AP is the junior partner.

USA Boomers use LRG for INS and SLBMs use star shots for mid-course correction. It’s good enough that the D5 was counter force, which is to say it can hit enemy siloes.

I think it is even worse. NAVAIR had the 14 with its massive capabilities and instead spent a ton of money improving the A6, A7, a bunch of canceled projects, picked the effing LOSER of the LWF program, and then effed the 2 stealth project

The plan in the 90s was to use 4 high bypass engines and replace the tail. At the time improving the -52 was not favored by the USAF because it would threaten the B-1. I still think it is the correct approach

No. We would use the baseband PMIC and DMA to move the info out of the AP if they were not integrated.

Yeah, Spinlaunch is going to dump a lot of energy into the lower atmosphere, shed its glowing white hot shell, and then need get enough deltaV to put up a payload. Anyway, the earliest patent I could find was a steam centripetal launcher in

The baseband/PMIC is such a huge threat and it is entirely in the hands of the carriers that desperately want user data. Coupled with very tightly held IP the problem seems to be insurmountable. When I see "removing the Google e

I don't think it is true that bombs damage an area. For example, when I worked on ADF nukes we were interested in the volumes necessary to destroy targets located in 3D airspace. Similarly underwater explosions caused spherical and co

For coal in the USA the stated cost for MWh in 2010 was $41. The external cost was $58. This does not include for implicit and explicit subsidies. Including those would make the external costs higher. The numbers change by country, time,
