Thanks for pointing out your article about the 76477. Fascinating stuff. As for my second paragraph about "digital-analog", this reference on VCO-based quantizers [1] is not the one I remember but I think is related. Not that I re

Does anyone have a good reference on how analog is done on logic processes, specifically the bits that have to interface off the chip, like gpio, lvds, and serdes. I'd much appreciate it. There's something I once encountered, but

Bitcoin is simply going through a discontinuity brought on by a fixed blocksize. Personally, I feel uncertainty is the real issue. The "community" should either accept this, or opt for a potentially unlimited ceiling (limited by p

There is a sort of analogue to this: parents praising their children as beautiful/pretty or brave/strong. Both vacuously reduce the childs ability to reflect genuinely on their strengths and their source of self-worth. Beauty (or

Sure if it's about the client then sure but as soon as SpiderOak open sources their software they start competing on price because anyone can write a backend to use another storage provider.

You are absolutely right that I didn't have to reveal my "prejudice" here. For that I apologize. However, you are mistaken that I don't have to trust StartSSL, or any CA at all. In requesting a certificate, I am siginall

Out of curiosity, how did you encounter this paper ciderpunx? The authors aren't familiar to me from logic/computing, but perhaps they're combinatorialists. If I find time I'll look at the paper in more detail as it's a question that I pond
