Broadcom is a predatory leveraged buyout giant formerly known as Avago. The real chip maker Broadcom was one of its victims. It took its name, too.

Hallucination refers to a sensory effect. The psychological term that matches this well-known phenomenon best is actually âoeconfabulationâ which refers to making up stuff while believing it.

âoeHallucinationâ is the word that caught, though.

Thatâ(TM)s just an abbreviation. The full name of the company is xn--xa-12-sra.ai

It was really convenient to use but suffered an untimely death. Acquired by Google.

12C (10F) is the normal serving temperature for Italian gelato. Perhaps the US has come to its senses?

I guess it would be too much to expect them to start making coffee that doesnâ(TM)t taste like s**t, too.

Israeli startup Flytrex has been operating in the US since 2020. It seems that Amazonâ(TM)s resources did not quite help it be the first to get an FAA license.

For anyone worried about drones dropping on their heads: you should be more concerned about that delivery guy driving a two ton vehicle through your street, and this is reflected in much lower insurance rate.

Ironically, small general aviation aircraft are NOT required to carry an ADS-B beacon that transmits their location. Only in America.

At current prices, $30k would pay for 22 years of Starlink service, not accounting for interest or reduction in prices over the next decades.

Fiber definitely has its advantages, but beyond a certain distance there is no point in connecting an isolated house.

After the dramatic announcement in 2013 by Bezos, how come the first company approved by the FAA to do commercial delivery is a small startup from Israel that probably spent two orders of magnitude less money than Amazon?

I suspect this is a behavior of propagation in the unusual medium they studied that is in some way an analog of the Higgs boson. That not the same thing as an actual particle that can exist in a vacuum. Just like a phonon which is the description of sound waves as a particle.

And that would make the speculation about it being a dark matter candidate very unlikely.

A trucking corridor with overhead electric wires is like a train that can accommodate railcars from multiple operators independently joining and leaving in the middle.

Just copy-and-paste a couple or lines of JavaScript to convert it to WASM using Leaningtechâ(TM)s CheerpX for Flash.

I am not affiliated with them in any way. Just a happy user.

Huge data centers are getting decentralized into smaller and more distributed âoeedgeâ locations that are closer to users and can serve them with millisecond latency or even less.

What happens if the external GPS antenna or its cable is disrupted? The miniature atomic clock on this device can maintain microsecond accuracy without external reference for days until a technician can be dispatched to this edge location.

While most of us donâ(TM)t need to meet such requirements, the cost of doing this relative to the cost of downtime is small. Having a distributed database fail is not an option and shutting down the mini datacenter to prevent it is also expensive.

The Spirit rover was also designed for a 90 day mission. Lasted over 6 years.

There is actually little an engineer could do differently for something designed for 90 days that they would not do for something designed for years. Only a vehicle with a mission length measured in hours or a few days at the most would be done differently.
