But you have to admit, there's an obvious need/desire for there to be other/more tech hubs. As cool as it might be for some to have a single tech hub, that kills affordability, hence distributing the hubs to numerous spots around the world. Let's face it: if you happen to be a tech employable person, wouldn't it be cool if you COULD spend a few years in tech hub A, then be able to move to tech hub B, etc.? Instead of really only having one (or too few) options? I think so anyway.

It is far, far worse than that. Algebra was transported across islamic territory by the muslim slave trade. That is the big contribution of islam. Some Hindu priests got kidnapped by muslims during the conquest of India, and after got knows how many abuses got sold to Venetian traders in Northern Africa. Venetians set them free, and gave them a platform in a monastery, and after a few decades of writing books and a number of false starts, algebra spread (in the sense that the current digits started replacing Roman numerals).

Sure, there is going to be a lot of new silicon content in a car(but less, or much less cars ), but most of that silicon content would be in new areas - AI and machine learning, LIDAR, Radar ? , Vision - areas where nxp doesn't have any advantage, on the opposite - where startups and other companies like Google and Nvidia beat it.

To get those capabilities, wouldn't it be better for Quallcom to invest in R&D or buy startups ?

Another skill NXP has(via Freescale), is knowing how to build failure proof chips(via redundancy, etc). But my guess is that isn't that terribly hard skill to ackuire, and if not ackuire , there are already probably 3 companies with that skill(TI, NXP/Freescle, Renesas), and at least on startup - so enough people to partner or hire. And in any case , that knowledge is just the start , applying it to the complexities of AI is the real challenge.

And the third skill is of course - access to the automotive sales channel, possibilities of cross selling , etc. But will that be a big issue for the new tech ?

I curse every time I accidentally click iTunes or Photos, as it means I have to wait minutes for my computer to stop lagging before I can close it. Worse, if you exceed physical memory, it seems to have a permanent slowdown until you restart. That's a feature back from the Win XP days.

The latest updates to iOS seem to make things laggier as well, to the point where the keyboard might pause after I hit a key.
I used LaTeX a lot in university, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Even a minimal (and good looking) document requires a lot of (La)TeX knowledge.

You can of course use one of many existing templates, but you will quickly feel lost when you have to customize things.

These days, just go with Markdown (or the like) and just include assets (say graphs) as SVG and be done with it.

For scientific papers (especially with two columns layout) you probably have to go with LaTeX though.

Edit: By the way, my take at minimal LaTeX templates: https://github.com/renke/latex-templates
Yes, like Jobs alluded to in his quote, the marketing people ("toner-heads") end up running the show by getting promoted.

Then, they abuse their leadership capacity to make mis-guided calls regarding product design because they do not truly have the customers' needs at heart (e.g. no headphone jack).

To take it one step further, there is plenty of marketing justification for removing that jack, given Apple's ownership of Beats.

There is literally not a single major that does not value or grant these things, to a greater or lesser degree. I have no comprehension of why people list these factors as to why "degree X of no obvious immediate value" has value. I always assume such conversations are about marginal value, insofar as any higher education will confer the above.

Good nerd-sniping question. Just spent the last 5 minutes looking around for an answer, and it seems like the grape/raisin comparison is actually quite apt; both (raisins, prunes) are made from a specific cultivar of (grapes, plums) that is particularly well-suited to drying. Prune juice is made from the same cultivar of plum used for drying, so it makes sense to call it "prune juice" because it's more specific.

-- conjecture below, 0 facts contained --

Grape juice is (I believe) made from different types of grapes than raisins are, so it wouldn't make sense to call it "raisin juice" because you would never make raisins from those grapes.
The money doesn't just vanish when you raise the minimum wage. People who make less than about $20/hour are going to be spending pretty close to 100% of any additional income they get. It's fair to suggest it might raise the price of goods and services. All real-world examples of minimum wage hikes I've seen show real wages going up even though inflation does eat some of the gain.

But as far as reducing the amount of goods and services available, that isn't really backed up by anything. It's crazy that we're still relearning the lesson that we learned in the first half of the twentieth century, which is that when you raise the wage floor, consumer spending rises, which drives economic growth.
Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. That still doesn't change the fact that if you keep aggressively lecturing people about it, they'll stop watching your network.

I've done the same transition. I used to love my keyboard with Blues but it never quite solved the problem for me and is too noisy to use at work. I then also realized that the position and angle of the hands and wrists is probably more important then the type of keys.

Which part of that is how much I am willing to pay requires additional clarification?

I mean, I agree with the point you are implying, that people won't be overwhelmingly excited with solar until the payback goes below 2 or 3 years,

That's exactly right, and more: I am not willing to amortize their research and development costs outright. That's something Tesla (or any other company, for that matter) will have to do over years, at least as far as my wallet is concerned. Amortizing research & development costs outright is just pure greed; I won't support it.

I think they are still a thing because of the following:

1) One SIMs are a bit harder to tamper with than the OS of a phone which I am assuming would be the alternative to a SIM card i.e storing the same information on NAND flash accessible to the OS. SIMs have some threshold(it used to be 3) of unsuccessful attempts to read the card. A lock is activated and can only be unlocked entering the unlock code.

2) Carriers can talk directly to the SIM - A "SIM" is basically a Java applet that runs on UICC(Universal Integrated Circuit Card - the smart card itself.) I think a lot of people don't know that SIMs run Java - well Java Card. This mean that they can remotely lock a SIM card to prevent it from further accessing their network. If someone stole my phone or even just my SIM card I could call my carrier and they could lock the SIM remotely and consequently unlock it. They can also use the SIM to push new PRLs - preferred roaming lists. This is generally called OTA or over the air provisioning.

3)Convenience, if I use a pre-paid services with an MVNO or travel to another country and buy a pre-paid SIM while on holiday, I don't need to do anything else except insert the new SIM and power on the phone. What would the non-SIM card alternative look like? Its hard to imagine it being easier.

4)Carrier-locked phones, such as what you get when you are under contract to a carrier. The way phones are locked is by having the phone only accept SIMs from the carriers network. An unlocked phone will accept a SIM from any carriers network.

If anyone is interested this DEFCON presentation - "The Secret Life of SIM Cards", is pretty interesting:

In other words, he's 100% wrong.
A form of this has existed for a while but never caught on for fairly understandable reasons.

Quite a few years ago (2005?) a family member purchased a Samsung-branded dumbphone on a contract. (Monochrome LCD (something like 128x64?), polyphonic ringtones, 3 fixed games, a (really slow, GSM data) WAP browser; that was it. Model SGH-something, I vaguely recall.)

It had no SIM card slot. It was locked to the network (Orange - in Australia FWIW) via software. In order to unlock it we had to call up the telco and go through some process, which we decided not to do in the end (whatever it was, I don't recall), since the phone had less capabilities than the Nokias that flood India and similar places, so we concluded there was no point selling it by the time we dug it out one day and tried to figure out what to do with it. (It's still buried in a box somewhere IIRC.)

I think this is why SIM-less phones are reasonably rare - it's really, really hard to de-contract them, unlock them and put them into sellable (or whatever) condition. Then once you've done that the recipient has to go through some equally arcane process to get the thing linked to a plan/contract too. And considering the ability to pass a phone on is a fairly major selling point - phones aren't solely purchased [preconfigured] on plans, then disposed - I think this was explored somewhat by the industry but ultimately left alone.

Some of the other things I've found in this thread are really interesting, although I wonder how difficult it is to "unconfigure" such a device to sell or pass it on.
I'm a big fan of Asciidoc. It's nice to have the option of advanced features, while still dealing in text.

"If I had my way, anyone of faith would not be able to use any product of science."

You have heard that it was said, "You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy." But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others?
I am not really into LaTeX but i write all my letters with it and like doing so very much. I get nice looking clean documents that have a very professional appeal and are much more convenient to create than in any full fledged editor.

I just use templates and fill in the blanks. I once showed my not so computer affine sister how to do it and she likes it too.
From various tutorials I feel my knowledge of latex is very top down, and not very deep. I just recently realized that {} are not needed for singletons, so I may for instance write \frac12 for 1/2.

Can anybody recommend a more bottom up guide? Something more similar to learning a programming language, where you start with the basic syntax and build on features iteratively?

> In that case, it would be a no-brainer for the Big Defense Contractor to buy him out...which leads me to believe that the BDC has a better version already and doesn't need this guy's model. So he's in a tough situation where he's designed something that's better* than anyone else's in the world, except for his direct U.S. competition.

This is very likely a big part of this guy's problem. Either the tech isn't as good as advertised or he's unwilling to sell. Maybe he doesn't think he'll get fair value, I don't know. Now, one could argue that it's unfair that we have a system that forces the little guy to sell out to the big guy, but that's a different argument.

I have been thinking about the following lately...

Myth: Student loans are not dischargable in bankruptcy.

Truth: Student loans are dischargable in bankruptcy, albeit at a higher standard than other personal debts.

Now the myth, or what one might call the propaganda, is generally attributable student loan debt holders who don't want debtors knowing and worse availing themselves to their rights. However, what I find most odd is the myth/propaganda is now actually perpetuated more by people who know the truth but want student loan reforms. For example, they will generally ignore the ability to discharge student loans in bankruptcy at all or other methods of forgiveness such as "total and permenant disability". Also I notice when confronted with the truth they perpetuate the myth by exaggerating how many people actually qualify for relief.
Christian missionaries get expelled, put in prison or even ransomed or killed out all the time...

Muslim countries don't allow missionaries, China also has a very big problem with them especially Catholic missionaries because the Catholic Church and the Pope would "supersede" the universality of the central government.

you changed my perspective with this comment.youre so right. essentially everything espn creates to fill time between live events is garbage.

only issue for leagues distributing content themselves is local/regional tv contracts are a huge source of revenue for most teams. Tv is still the path of least resistance to consuming content. local deals might not be as lucrative if not on Tv. customers in a given region might not be 'stumbling' onto a local game to watch as often if the game isnt on a tv channel
