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 …

Scratch the logs, subpoena email records of Pai and direct reports.

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.…

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 …

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

> The number of electrons in a flash memory cell is in two digits. I had worked on one of the last TLC NAND designs before the transition to 3D. You could only afford to leak 1 ele…

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 the…

If I had to estimate "common and noticeable" sightings based on our old office near twitter and my experiences: Homelessness -- multiple per block Excrement -- every other block Pu…

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

Not to mention ESD issues from rubbing all your components across acrylic.

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 …

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 desi…

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 additio…

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?

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. R…

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 d…

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 …
