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 e…

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 a…

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 th…

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 wo…

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 t…

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…

> 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 n…

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…

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 tell…

I want one for my desk, its sold out.

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 …

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…

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 trie…

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 wi…

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 o…

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

Pretty cool but no dice for me. First I was intrigued but then they all looked the same. I saw a lot of these movies and tried to relate to the poster, but I could not. Then I thou…

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 t…

Have you seen the levels in Folsom lake recently? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-07-27/historic... There. Is. Not. Enough. Water. Anything else you hear is just a li…

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'…

What an interesting find! The biodiversity of our home planet is amazing. If you enjoy learning more about carnivorous plants, I highly recommend 'Plants Behaving Badly' on PBS[1].…

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 you…

right ... ISPs are not a public utility but a web service provider is? If you want to tackle this, best to start with the most common sense place, the ISP

What does "undermines its corporate existence" mean? Why is the government of a country characterizing itself as a corporation?
