One PCI slot is effectively zero PCI slots because I don't know who is seriously using internal graphics. Maybe as a temporary solution to get things up and running and buy GPU later (doesn't work with AMD, though). This, by the way, is another perk of a desktop PC - the ability to postpone some upgrades.

To expand the RAM you will have to buy new sticks first and then try to sell old ones, with the discount, of course. My ATX board supports 4 sticks, so I could start with just one 16Gb (with bandwidth penalty, but still) and pump it up to 64Gb without any reselling hussle. I am also a happy owner of ASRock B350 motherboard so it is 6 years from Zen 1 to Zen 3 all the way for me.

I don't even want to start bragging about switching from air to water cooling for silence sake, I don't think it is even possible with mini ITX form factor.

So, once again, for me the main perk of desktop PC is upgradability, and mini ITX seriously impairs that.
> Why doesn't the mayor of a city with one of America's most important ports call in experts like this the second trouble started?

(1) Because the Mayor of Long Beach is a primus inter pares legislator; as is the common for cities in California, Long Beach is a Council-Manager system, the chief executive is the appointed City Manager.

(2) But, anyhow, under the City Charter (basically, its Constitution) the harbor is actually governee by the Harbor Commission, anyway, which (like the city itself) also has appointed chief executive (the Executive Director),

So, the question should probably be “Why didn't the Executive Director of the Harbor Commission call in a experts like this..." (or, why aren’t the members and Executive Director of the Harbor Commission experts like this in the first place.)

Rent-seeking practices are not the same as a traditional Rent or Lease arrangement. They get the term because instead of buying a product that you know own and can do with as you wish, they still maintain control as if you were a renter.

A topical example is consumer electronics companies designing devices to only last so long and actively suppressing the after market through DRM, difficult or dangerous to repair designs, restricting owner autonomy through software patents and IP law and other methods to ensure you must come back to them and purchase another one.

Another more direct example is the slow conversion of all paid as a product software into subscription services. You can't buy the adobe suite anymore. You have to subscribe to it. Sooner or later you wont be able to buy your operating system either.
So when economists talk about "devaluation", they include floating currencies. What that means is that the investment demand for the currency declines, causing the currency to decline.

What are the mechanisms that would cause the investment demand to decline? It can be any of

- different tax treatment

- reduction in respect for property rights of foreign investors

- changes in interest rates

- political instability causing fears of the above

Other factors may also come into play. But at some point, some of these factors cause foreign investors to take a second look at whether they should reduce their purchase of dollar assets, and that reduction in investment demand causes a devaluation.

If the demand for foreign investment in the US falls below the demand for US investment abroad, then what happens is that the currency falls so that the trade balance swings away from deficit and into surplus. That is true irrespective of whether we need those foreign imports -- we will need to find domestic substitutes or do without. Therefore this devaluation creates hardships.

But none of the above necessarily means that the dollar stops being a reserve currency. It's enough that the rest of the world pairs back their positions, as the relevant factor is the flow, not the stock.

I've been on a similar mission over the last few years. Youtube channels mentioned like 3Blue1Brown are great for deeper understanding of a topic, channels like Numberphile and Mathologer are great for getting excited about the fun and beauty of math. I bought a bunch of texts looking for the right place to start but ultimately what's worked for me is enrolling in virtual/online classes at my local community college. It's cheap, it's fun, and it's giving me the external motivation and community I've needed to make progress.
> Only founder led companies and family owned businesses can stand up to the immense pressure from the dogmas of modern finance.

> The proposed tax on unrealized capital gains will force founders to sell larger and larger pieces of their companies to pay the tax, until eventually they lose control of their businesses and turn them over to the Wall Street sharks to run their disastrous playbook.

I agree with this argument. Love him or hate him, with a tax on unrealized capital gains someone such as Elon Musk would not have been able to drive Tesla to profits thus forcing the automotive industry towards EV's. Moreover, we would have fallen behind decades in the space race.

But that only works as long as everyone is at it. As soon as you have one brand that makes a point of not doing anything like that and just providing good quality gear, the market of people with enough money to feature in this part of the discussion has another option they may well prefer. And if people buy Apple gear, no-one is convincing me that such a brand couldn't sell a TV with $1000 hardware specs and no junk at $1200 or even $1500 to that market.

> I cannot believe people are parsing text output from other commands in the year 2021

If you're writing shell scripts, there aren't any other options.

Here's a lovely little snippet to find the current wifi network for a reMarkable 2. If it's "Aardvark", it runs rsync. :)

iw wlan0 info | grep -Po '(?<=ssid ).*' | tr -d '\n'

Ugly as hell? Yes, but what's the alternative?

Parsing text from a command is a headache, but it works most of the time. There often isn't an API or syscall to get the data you need on a specific system.

My favorite ugly hack is having a Ruby on Rails application write a file to disk so it can be processed by another program using a shell and then picking up the output file after that program finishes.

This requires a lot of cleanup and diligence to keep from leaking files... or you can set up a nightly cronjob using find to locate all of the files created more than a week ago and delete them. :)

Linux and Unix are a pile of hacks. It isn't going to change anytime soon.
Display, SoC, Camera Module. Surprisingly Nikkei has the better BOM cost analysis compared to others.

Of course there are still other per unit cost like Patent and Services not covered in the Cost-to-retail-price ratio. Roughly at about $30 / unit.

The lower margin over time isn't much of a problem with volume. Not to mention the the BOM estimate cost accuracy shift as Apple uses more and more bespoke component.

And then you pay back the loan (worth 10% of your portfolio.) So now you've been taxed for what exactly? Having access to a pile of cash for some temporary period that expired? It makes no sense to me. We don't tax you on the principal of a loan since it's not income, its debt.
The RoE analysis is decent, but it wouldn't be HN if every now and then someone really wants to sell the idea that your average business owner and your average S&P 500 business are all in this together with taxes as their enemy.

The problem is that the "maximize profit" meme is VERY fit in the evolutionary world of memes.

In American system corporations have personhood.

They don't know that... it's an anecdote, not an epidemiological study.

Well I can't speak for all CPUs but yes, at arm at least, lower-level RTL is used for the CPU design.

Combined with that will be modeling at various levels. C++ models can be used for performance exploration for instance. Cycle accurate (or close to cycle accurate) models for the CPU are useful but also hard to work with. You may well be developing the accurate model in combination with the CPU itself. In early design work you'll hack features into an older model just to see how they might work in isolation or even just stare at some spreadsheets with performance counters and make an educated guess as to how some new feature or structure will effect them and use that to calculate potential performance increases.
That’s because “&” is a ligature (2 joined characters) of “e” and “t” and represented the Latin work “et” which means “and”.

I mean this is classic moving of goals posts - the only measure of acumen the CEO of a publically traded company is that little number called the share price. whether he buoys that number by brain-genius innovations or by brain-genius acquisitions, he's still demonstrating brain-genius business acumen (the proof of this seemingly tautological claim is that there are plenty of other companies that have failed to acquire their way out of irrelevance).

Then that's too bad for anyone who tries to use non-standard shells. It's one thing to violate a vague, rarely used standard. It's quite another to violate what is most likely the most broadly supported standard on *nix systems.
This must be the same John Michell who gave Henry Cavendish his pendulum to measure the density of the Earth :

„Many years ago, the late Rev. John Michell, of this Society, contrived a method of determining the density of the earth, by rendering sensible the attraction of small quantities of matter; but, as he was engaged in other pursuits he did not complete the apparatus till a short time before his death, and did not live to make any experiments with it. After his death, the apparatus came to the Rev. Francis John Hyde Wollaston, Jacksonian Professor at Cambridge, who, not having conveni­ences for making experiments with it, in, the manner he could wish, was so good as to give it to me.„[1]

This is true, but I'm not sure that viewed from the larger perspective this is an unalloyed good. Sure we can do without crackpots. But do we really want the only voices that matter to be those belonging to persons with "PhD" attached to their names?
Sorry, guess I wasn’t clear. I’m talking about using NAT with IPv6 being the best way to set it up. Your ISP gives you a whole pool of public addresses you can use for hosting stuff publicly or forwarding or high availability. None of your devices will have public addresses. Then you use all of the private address space for your internal stuff.

> ALL works on the project are equally "illegal" (or at least many, they can't know which ones)

Those whose authors aren't dead for 70 years (because we don't have the "pre-1978" loophole the US has). Probably (but here things get vague) even limited to stuff originating from German authors, even if it was also published in the US pre-1978.

Punitive damages? In Germany?

This doesn't really fit any decent GPU at 180 mm. I think the single-fan ASUS RTX 3060 Phoenix is 177 mm and would just fit, but I'd be a bit worried about the cooling at that point.
TSA's counsel argued that the asserted patent was obvious in view of one prior art reference that disclosed scanning trays and a second prior art reference that disclosed carts at both ends of a machine processing trays. To make this argument, they needed an expert witness to say that it would have been obvious to combine the two prior art references in the way claimed. My read of this comment is that they failed to get their expert witness on record as having that opinion before trial, and so they were prevented from effectively presenting the position at trial. This is the sort of thing that keeps patent attorneys up at night.
Would you have voted for a party that spent $1b annually on mask manufacturing subsidies for masks nobody even bought?

I would have voted for a party with a program of "bring the manufacture of strategically crucial items back to the US and make it robust". This seems like it would even be Republican "bread and butter" and I don't see why either party had an issue with it.
