One interesting example of this is the UTR system for tennis. It is agnostic in gender as wells as age, and tournaments can be held purely based on the UTR range

100% this. I have had the MDR-7506 since my DJ days about 30 years ago. These are by no means expensive headphones, but compared even to much more higher-end Bluetooth headphones t…

Yup. Also elementary school was often fewer grades than it is today. It was the norm to finish your education after elementary school to help the farm/household. Individuals, espec…

Agreed, but I don't think you need to go as far back as the 19th century, even early 20th century it was the same in some places in eastern Europe. Out of 7 siblings in my Dad's fa…

Personally I don't mind running it and have been doing so for several years. Their app and camera/firmware have gotten a lot more stable since the early days. You can buy the camer…

Seems to me you have your Life Razor, per Sahil Bloom, pretty much in place for your current stage in life

I can relate. Same for my parents. Washer and dryer still going strong after 30 years, same for the fridge which has been relegated to the basement since the paint has begun to chi…

This is already happening. The leading edge node wafers cost a fortune compared to older nodes. TSMC has limited capacity, as it takes years to bring new fabs online, and with comp…

Having lived there for several years I remember these to be quite loud. Maybe because the way they hang allows them to sway left to right a bit, and causes the metal wheels to make…

Many of your comments are on point. But I'm a little curious about your negative view of CF. Care to explain why you think they take energy out of the system?

Agreed, a very shallow article with a few personal opinions. A little breather for Austin proper may be a good thing, housing prices and rents have come down significantly from a f…

This is 100 percent the truth. Watching tennis in the US has become increasingly frustrating. I almost long for the old days where one could count on one of two channels to always …

Indeed, my kids who are 5 and 8 enjoy it about just as much as Mario Kart 8 - especially the earlier levels which require less of the balloon jumping.

To get high yields and a reliable process at these process nodes you need high throughout in the fabs, even with sophisticated models and simulations is my guess. At one point in t…

Good question. Seems to suffer from same fate. Spot checking 2 years of order history across 2 common personal care products shows at least a 30% variation in price

The following in the article is pretty spot on ”Numerous industry sources say TSMC’s real strength is the ability to deliver process development kits for just about any process or …

It is going to get even a bit more interesting when you consider power gaters and virtual power supplies. Now the real power will be on the back side and the virtual power will be …

Some of this is modeled over expected life-time / usage. In general, things such as electro migration, self-heating, bit-cell degradation, etc. are modeled either for 3y, 5y or 10y…

Thanks, I will give them a shot. My experience post pandemic with car rental companies, and Hertz in particular has been abysmal. Any sort of rental status with car rental companie…

Don't have any numbers myself, but per persons who recently attended KubeCon China earlier this year they have not seen Shanghai this empty of tourists in years. Also, supported by…

Is there a reason small roundabouts are not more popular in the US in residential areas? You probably have noticed them driving through Spain and France as well. Especially in the …

Had it a couple times. I usually try to let the stones pass naturally, unless of course they get stuck. Success rate for the targeted stone has been 100%. Recovery has been quick w…

Guilty as charged, many times over. Sometimes, to the point where I could not even recall the old workflow post login.

In the same boat, and agree that the first one was the worst because of the unknowns and associated pain. That does not mean the later ones were less painful, but knowing what to e…

Absolutely correct. Also fractional owner of a local brewer for a decade or so. Defintely not insanely profitable. As stated above distribution costs/complications and associated l…
