Thank you for your detailed answer. I understand the reasons better, it’s unfortunate and slightly depressing to me that the community hasn’t been able to come up with a better sol…

Yes but you’re saying twitter say their metrics are off by a factor of 5 because it’s not running the GA JS. If you wanted to properly investigate that looking at the server logs w…

Why do you (and why do people in general) not use server logs for analytics of this sort? Seems like it might show requests that failed to get to the point of processing the analyt…

I’ve not heard it used that way, but I could be wrong. There’s possibly also a historical usage in this sense.

Right, but the word 地球 can only mean the planet Earth, it’s not synonymous with anything else and there’s no room for confusion. Soil, or ground (on any planet) is a different word…

Interesting, it’s always been my assumption, and unless everyone is operating in good faith, if don’t have board control (and/or >50% of equity) it’s a possibility that I might wel…

In Japanese there’s 地球 which means Earth (this planet), and 土 which means soil. 地 can also mean soil, but it’s a different word from 地球 meaning the planet earth. I don’t think it’s…

While the OP has said they have 20% equity. Given the other two founders have a controlling interest, to what extent could they push the OP out and take/reduce their equity? I’m no…

First author should be the person who did the work, that’s pretty strandard. Corresponding author doesn’t always need to be first author. Honestly this does sound pretty terrible. …

Can it completely satisfy our current energy requirements? Last I heard, nuclear was the only non-fossil fuel way of doing that. Is that still the case?

That’s fair enough, I don’t think that process would work here though? I also don’t understand why you would do that. Given the ceramic part in question doesn’t look like anything …

If you find evidence of discrimination, you take action. What action exactly is up for debate. You could even go so far as replacing the board. But not all, all male boards will be…

No it wasn’t? They used to use gold caps. You could absolutely use a novel manufacturing technique to make something that looks like the picture in the article. It wouldn’t make mu…

It’s reasonably clear that the chip shown in the article is very unlikely to be any kind of microcontroller/semiconductor. It’s embedded in ceramic. Such devices need to be fired a…

Your profile says you cofounded Industry Dive. A company cofounded by 3 men. If you really believed that all companies should have a more balanced gender balance at the board level…

If a fence is knocked down you fix the fence. Quotas suggest an approach that works more like “we know some fences are damaged in various ways, one way many of the fences are damag…

Let’s say you expect boards in general to be 50% male/female. In case where this is not the case, and where it has not been the case for a number of years you might launch an inves…

I find quotas in bad taste, and somewhat lazy. There is clearly an issue, but if we attempt to fix it with positive discrimination, we just create more issues. A better way to appr…

How much comes from China or Russia?

I don’t understand this comment. The USA has a strong semiconductor industry. Probably stronger than China’s. China is traditionally not very strong an semiconductor fabrication. W…

It’s not how things work everywhere I’m sure. But it seems likely in this case. As such, the content doesn’t surprise me, and I would put the blame solely on the author in this cas…

That maybe the case, but bad enough to get fired over? That’s not clear to me. The way modern writing works, I would expect he got paid very little for writing this. You’re kind of…

I guess we read the article differently. Because he didn’t seem to be saying 5G was dangerous, more that this was the public perception, and that vendors are doing little to manage…

Given the size estimation, it wouldn’t cover the whole footprint. But... why put it on an unpopulated footprint. Why not just replace the original Quad SPI IC with a backdoored dev…

If that’s the case, I guess Banksy will be laughing even harder...
