And don't forget about the new Starlink flat antennas! The biggest surprise from the tearing videos for many EE I know was that the custom chips doing the DSP magic are made by ST, and not Analog Devices or TI. Undersampling in KU band on cheap silicon is not a trivial undertaking.

We (rsync.net) have several PB of raidz3 deployed all over the world.

We use conservatively sized (12-15 drive) vdevs and typically join 3 or 4 of those together to make a pool.

I can see getting nervous about raidz2 (sort of analogous to "raid6") after a drive failure ... but losing 4 drives out of 12 in a single raidz3 failure cascade is extremely improbable.

We all sleep quite well with this arrangement and have since we first migrated from UFS2 to ZFS in 2012.

I'm not sure I'm would be comfortable reading books recommended by Bill Gates.

Maybe the books are good, but I would rather have them recommended from other sources, with a mix of other books. The last thing I would want to do is think like Bill Gates. I wouldn't read books recommend from Donald Trump either. I also question any books that algorithm put together for me.

The only good book list is probably a list of books that have been banned from libraries or the government wants you not to read. I think there are 451 of those books?

Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of windows.
There is no need for advanced nodes for micro-controllers. Typically even advanced µC use 40nm, planar, where the TSMC leading node is 5nm FinFET. ST also does FD-SOI 22nm if I remember well, but that's the densest node they have and nowhere near the current state of the art at TSMC.

The thing is, micro-controllers do not need advanced nodes. They don't have a lot of logic (it's all relative, but compared to a PC CPU or smartphone SoC), so would be "pad limited" on advanced nodes: the area of a chip depends on the logic (and memory), but also on the I/O pins or pads, which take area. So if you used a too advanced node for a chip with (relatively) little logic and still enough I/O pads, some die area would be wasted as the minimum area would come from the pads. It's a situation you want to avoid, as there's no point paying for a more costly finer nodes (with more leakage) to waste it by not using the silicon area.

Another factor is that micro-controllers also embed Flash on their die, to have a very integrated solution with logic, RAM and Flash storage on a single die. This puts a limit on the node density. Flash is OK down to 40nm. Then from then one must move to more advanced, and still young and costly, alternatives (MRAM).

So if your business is driven by micro-controllers, there's no real point in pushing toward node density ("low" nodes). ST does process optimization as everyone, but at "medium" nodes best suited for µC. There's no business drive for them to chase TSMC.

It's similar for other Eurpeans silicon makers: they tend to be on specific segments where going for "low" nodes like 5nm simply doesn't make sense. The relatively advanced fabs in Europe are from Intel and Global Foundries (both US). And GloFo stopped the race to advanced node at 14nm, as it was too expensive.

More-dangerously, it is taxing theoretical money that you haven't yet made.

There is no guarantee that the current market-clearing price for a given object is equivalent to that at which a larger inventory can be sold.

Taxing capital gains at the time of sale makes sense -- there is actual revenue available for taxation. Taxing unrealized gains can be a path to really-negative outcomes. This is particularly so if the government doesn't give matching credits for unrealized capital losses.

As far as I know, there isn't any way to prevent a truly dedicated and resourceful attacker from reading data that exists physically. The only constraints are money and time.
A chip that e.g. self-destructed on detecting signs of tamper would be harder to break, but if the data exists physically, it must be recoverable in some way, no?

The article misses one possibility, which I suspect is actually the most likely: The underperformer knows they're underperforming, but it's in their best interests never to admit it.

I know because I've been there. I was underperforming and I'm also naturally very self-critical. So in reviews etc I'd be very open about my weaknesses and the need to improve.

In corporate culture there is nothing to gain from self-awareness. You've just handed your manager an invitation to use you as a scapegoat (see @czep's comment), to leave you out of pay rises and give you crappy tasks.

There's everything to gain from being permanently confident and upbeat about your abilities. Then your manager may A) be fooled by the act and think you're a great performer or B) figure out that you're struggling - but then you're in no worse a position than you would've been by being downbeat in the first place.
After a "collapse" you are still left with mindshare and a market. If you increase prices by 30% you'll still be the largest player. Maybe later investors are not making returns but you are not going bankrupt.

But folds like a wet napkin when anybody with any authority challenges him, leaving you with additional responsibilities after having wasted weeks delaying so that in addition to suddenly having twice as much work, you're also a few weeks behind on day one. Not all of us were born yesterday.
Finance YouTuber Graham Stephen recently made a big deal out of moving from Los Angeles to Vegas because the tax savings more-or-less paid for a giant mansion in Vegas. (And because of some slightly cringey comments about not wanting to see so many homeless people, but that's not the editorial comment I'm trying to make right now.)

But, he's keeping his house in CA (for "weekends and vacations"), and he's building his studio in Vegas to be an exact replica of the old one.

So, yeah, charitably, "moving" for the highly wealthy does not really look anything like "moving" for anybody else.

Less charitably, it seems like a scam. In GS' case, nobody can tell where he's doing his work from, so "oh we spent too long at the beach on this 'vacation day,'" better stay here and film tomorrow's episode from CA, nobody will ever know." In EM's case, I suspect he spends more time business-traveling than at home anyway, so it would be pretty difficult to prove which of his houses he "lives" in.

And if anybody balks, there's a huge amount of PR content proving that they "moved."

This wouldn't bug me so much if it weren't for the arrogant, selfish, hubristic political comments they always make on the way out.
>. I haven't tried it out but Apple's real-time head tracking plausibly provides the necessary DSP inputs to produce a spatial model that tracks as good or better than external speakers.

Apple's spatial audio head tracking is unreliable at best. I can fool the system easily by rotating my head at a speed that is slower than a snap rotation, side to side.

Even when the tracking is working properly, it sounds like simulated surround sound from home theater receivers of 20 yr sago.

It's unfortunate that Elon is leaving California given that the state has really lifted him to the pedestal he is on - through the talent network (highly talented employees, VCs), and the progressive policies that CA built for clean technology (Solar, EVs, Energy Storage). That was paid for on the backs of the people. Funny how short his memory is.

Elon is a talented man - I absolutely respect what he's done. However - let's call this what it is - he doesn't want to pay a large tax bill for the success that he has had (hence selling all property in CA). I get it - it sucks and you can also be much more anti-union in Texas.

Too bad he had to go along with the narrative “I think we’ll see some reduction in the influence of Silicon Valley” -- feels like a slap in the face to the market that lifted Tesla off the ground.

That's the implied threat. Our business puts serious engineering efforts behind maps, such that it takes months of effort to change out mapping clients. We do this across three platforms. It will continue working for a while, but that $250k we just spent will need to be re-spent in the next 1-2 years as the old library falls to the wayside.

The frustrating thing is that we just went through this with google. We paid a reasonable amount, but then got extorted to pay more or jump ship. We jumped ship to a reputable company, mapbox, and we paid a reasonable sum of money for how we used the software, and now the cycle continues. To be clear, I am not complaining that we are paying $0 and we should get the benefits for free. I am saying that we shouldn't be jumped up multiple orders of magnitude in cost, which isn't in-line with our actual usage. That's the shady part.
I agree. I would still recommend the book to most people, but with a number of caveats. I think the most important takeaway from that book is the concept of embracing mental discomfort to strengthen yourself.

Learning to work with intention and not just when I feel "focused" or "energized" has been hard work for me and something that this last year has really forced. His book was very helpful to me in framing mentally uncomfortable things as "workouts" and opportunities to grow.

It's a great book if you apply that concept to things like family, marriage, work, LIFE, and not just increasing your suffering personal record.
I want this for everything. So many times I go to text or email someone and then get distracted by the new messages in my inbox and forget what I was doing in the first place. It's especially bad on my phone where there might be cross-app notifications. Why did I pick up my phone again?
I was on the edge of the same decision. This move by the new district attorney in LA is so far beyond the pale that if it's not rescinded soon, I am gone too:

"NEW: L.A. County DA George Gascon has issued a directive to prosecutors that the following misdemeanors will be declined for prosecution, with exemptions.

-Trespassing

-Disturbing the peace

-Driving without license

-Prostitution

-Resisting arrest"

This is an abbreviated tweet, and each of these has some explanation and color, for example, resisting arrest will still be prosecuted if the suspect physically assaults the officer. But they can break loose from restraint and flee and not be prosecuted for resisting.

Prostitution was more specifically 'loitering to commit prostitution'.

My issue is the message this sends to those committing criminal behavior. They'd be attracted to municipalities that they know will not prosecute them. In many cases, it's likely that this petty crime is largely in support of drug addiction or influenced by mental illness. It would be more effective (and lauded by me) if this approach was paired with an effective treatment system. None is put forth(?), and we'll just see more and more mayhem, as we have seen already in San Francisco.
It's important to understand that a majority of the violence was initiated by folks that were seeking to take advantage of the protests to carry out violence:

"Rather, the [Department of Homeland Security] bulletin said that “the greatest threat of lethal violence continues to emanate from lone offenders with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist ideologies and [domestic violent extremists] with personalized ideologies,” specifically pointing to boogaloo-related groups as likely to be “instigating violence” at the protests."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/06/22/who-cause...

Does that change your reasoning about the situation at all? An overwhelming majority of peaceful protestors turned out to protest police violence and racial inequality, and a very, very small minority carried out the bulk of meaningful violence.

Does that invalidate the movement?

How am I in particular dangerous? No need to clutch at pearls comrade. Feel free to be unafraid. No one bears you any ill-will, unless you're a public servant who has murdered someone with impunity recently.

Where do you expect California to get the money for $1T in unfunded pension liabilities? California's budget is "healthy" only for as long as they ignore their long-term liabilities.

California's "healthy" finances was a lie that the state told you in order to have a hope of meeting future obligations. The legislation they keep trying to pass where they're going to chase after money of people leaving the state shows you the true picture. They wouldn't have a need for such games otherwise.

I'm sorry I was unclear. You are correct I didn't intend to imply otherwise. My point was more specific to the case at hand. If Google distributes the code to say an end-consumer, they need to be prepared to distribute the source as well. That consumer can then provide that source to any of Google's competitors and they can make use of it in their own products. In most of these cases a company like Google would probably stop wasting time and simply make the source for any consumer products easily accessible by all.

However, Google need not provide the source to people that they do not distribute the code to (well obviously there are differences between e.g. GPLv2 and GPLv3, but whatever this isn't a legal analysis). For example, if Google uses it internally they may not need to release the source to anyone at all. They're all important points that more people need to understand, but they aren't really the ones that I was making in this thread and none of them are really specific to Google vs. other companies.
