> Now in his 50s, Erp was 19 and still living in his hometown of Harare, Zimbabwe, when he got the call from a local shopkeeper telling him that a drunk driver had collided with his father, who was riding a motorbike. By the time he arrived on the scene, it was too late. He found his father’s body under a blanket. “I’m long past that”, he says in his thick Zimbabwean accent, swilling his tea. “But my feeling is that if I can save someone else that experience, then that’d be quite a good thing.”
What does 'layer' mean in this context? I'm only familiar with planar style logic process nodes which have maybe up to 20 layers (and way more lithography steps to manufacture those layers), but I am completely ignorant of how the term is used for a flash process node.
How many layers are needed for each physical cell?
Is it 1,2, or a lot more? Is this effectively 321 physical TLC cells stacked vertically and some planar style logic at the bottom of the stack.
Also, where do multiple pieces of silicon factor into this - I assume we might be up to 16 silicon dies deep with through-silicon-vias, which would mean a cross section of a package could actually have 5000 layers - that sounds crazy!
I don’t use GitHub in my day to day work, but since I don’t see any other answers: for me the main reason it to prove the tag hasn’t been changed under me feet. It’s too easy for a lightweight tag to be changed without you knowing, whereas an annotated tag has some permanence of a date, comment, sha, author etc.
Has caught out multiple people at my workplace. Feature is buried in the camera pipeline of MacOS, had assumed it was a bug in zoom that it could not be properly disabled - until same thing happened in a msteams call too, so realized it wasn't the zoom feature recognition triggering!
> Some consider the Autonomy acquisition to be the worst corporate deal ever.
> Just how bad is confirmed by the latest revelations from a shareholders’ suit over the deal: Mr. Apotheker didn’t even read the due diligence report on Autonomy that H.P. commissioned from KPMG, the giant accounting firm. Nor did Raymond J. Lane, the board chairman, or any other member of the board, according to a report prepared by the law firm Proskauer Rose, which was hired to represent H.P.’s independent directors.
> Had they read even the executive summary, they would have discovered numerous warnings — enough to have prevented the deal in the first place, or at least to have led them to renegotiate it.
> “For the C.E.O. not to have read it, for an acquisition this size, is highly disturbing,” said Charles M. Elson, director of the Center for Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware and co-author of “The Art of M&A Due Diligence.” “And the entire board should have at least read the executive summary.”
As he states near end of video, nothing else right now beats streaming for convenience.
I’d prefer a system where my monthly subscription gets divided up only between artists I listen to, but it seems in reality that hasn’t happened as a lot of the revenu goes to big record labels to persuade them to keep the big artists on spotify (and not even necessarily to those big artists!)
For at least one gen of MacBooks (maybe the ill-fated 2016 MacBook Pros?), this was actually a design fault. In the battle for thinness there was not enough separation between screen and keys when closed, leading to damage to screen coating over time.
Newer versions had a slightly larger rubber lip on the screen to increase the separation - as I noticed after getting a replacement for a damaged model
There was a general rule banning drones from Sagamartha national park, but actually you just need a permit. However if you are going over Everest, you are crossing the border from Nepal to Tibet (China), so you would have more of a challenge getting approval there.
In general though drones qualify as ‘quite annoying’, in national parks - particularly in areas like peaks or base camps where others are present.
The quotes in that page have some of the most spectacularly misleading statistics I’ve seen for a while. Might as well point out that for telling the time looking at my watch is more energy efficient than looking at the clock in my car dashboard (and then calculating energy efficiency while comparing power consumption of a car and a watch)
