Bringing CI/CD mindset to cars is probably not a great idea. Software updates to commuter vehicles should have a high bar for operational standards, and a simple thing such as an expired certificate should have never been deployed. Hav

Innovation means more duds than hits and it should be encouraged at every level. For business critical applications, yes, there should be a well defined path, and in this case, I am sure there is. People lose their head every time Google su

It's a shame this is closing. I love this program and more importantly, our local school PTO is a beneficiary and will feel the loss of this program. Having said that, I am sure there are people misusing this and its a burden on Amazon

Have you considered switching to a non-profit? I am not saying for-profit is bad but you may have more avenues for fund raising as a non-profit. Alternatively, gofundme for this would be very successful I would assume. You could also think

Congratulations to AMD, HPE and ORNL! This is an amazing achievement. Can't wait to see the spectacular science results coming from this installation. Intel was supposed to build the first Exascale system for ANL [1] [2]. to be install

The Pixel 6 Pro camera, which they showcase and market as capable of representing true skin tone [1], has been a pain in the neck for me. I am a brown skinned person with a balding head and the camera preview and final product are completel

> better off without it Umm ... No. This blanket statement is certifiably false that it only applies to a company running maybe 1 or 10, or at most 100 physical machines. My work needs across the world presence, networking, fault toleran

I was there when this happened. So many short term decisions to boost stock price, company objectives focussed on market cap than innovation etc. It was very painful to see in from the inside, first hand.

CGI should be a tool to tell a well crafted and well narrated story. Unfortunately, CGI has become the driver for how a movie should be made. Once it becomes the only tool for telling the story, everything else falters. CGI should absolutel

More fluff from Intel - over promise and cancel after 2 years with nothing to show for that investment. They should focus on rebuilding their core capabilities - manufacturing and design. Let others sell the integrated systems, you focus on

Just in time manufacturing contributes a lot to this shortage. We rely so much on integrated supply chain logistics, the pandemic clearly brought in to focus the "optimizations" of JIT manufacturing. The lack of local supply pools

They did try replacing faulty cells and modules before the full recall, even though other manufacturers using the same LG cells were doing a full recall and replace. They also tried software fixes. I dont know enough to understand why it di

You cannot have choice without fragmentation, you cannot complain about lock-in without wanting choice. Choice and fragmentation go hand in hand, and customers get to decide who wins and who loses.

More choice is always a win for the customers. Customer can get to decide who is providing a better quality of service and go with them instead of the current situation of having one choice forced down their throats because the vendor decid

They (aviation authorities) did not seem too nitpicky in clearing Boeing 737 Max and are culpable in the deaths of hundreds of people.

This is a step in the right direction. I witnessed the semiconductor industry abandoning their own designs in favor of Intel/x86. Better diversity in chip design is always a good thing, even if its in closed ecosystems (Google TPU, Tes

Dean is an amazing technologist, does not mean he is a leader in the sense that an organization needs. I wish he played this his strengths and left the leadership to others. I don't see the value of putting everything under Dean and ho

Itanium was one of the best processors I worked on and I worked on at least 20 different ones. It was way ahead of its time and the software was not ready and of course it cost your arm and leg and the next three generations, so it was real

Sure, I am sure they have something to say about how smaller internet companies move fast and break things with no concern for how it affects customers. I am sure you would rather have your bank just work than have some nifty tool with insu
