I certainly do have applications that can run on 60uA amortized. Charge a capacitor while drawing 100nA, to use during the short periods where you need to consume a few mA.

A million in parallel is a metric ton, right?

Then you probably shouldn't install the app, don't you think?

Sometimes our options are a little more limited than we'd like. As an employee, the only car hire option I have for business travel (to/from airport mainly) is Uber for Business. Which requires that I install the Uber app. And we have a BYOD policy. So that Uber app has to be installed on my phone.

Now, I typically remove the app the moment it is not needed, and re-install as required. But still, it's a royal PITA from both a privacy standpoint (I have little recourse when the app is installed) and a convenience standpoint (constantly installing/uninstalling offensive apps).

This is one place where consumer protection regulations would be helpful. I don't want to have to swim with the sharks in order to do my job.

Uber for Business is not allowed for my European co-workers because of GDPR.

Bullshit. They have no allegiance to the US. If they did, they would not have moved their HQ outside the US.

You want Commerce, State and the Navy helping you negotiate deals and protecting your hardware & IP, you damn well better help foot the bill for that shit.

Facebook's customers are international and, unfortunately, pedophilia is not universally banned.

Or universally defined.

Computers don't understand 2+2.

How does your understanding of 2+2 differ from a computer's?

That's why it says "VMware's other shareholders". But I guess you posted AC because you know your reading comprehension sucks ass. They still get to make the other 20% eat there shit, which is something.

Is this more or less a game on paper to get an infusion of cash for Dell, or could this actually have an effect on the VMWare business where I should be prepared for a chance of VMWare dying off?

If you are a shareholder in VMware, you're about to be screwed. If you think Dell will hang like an albatross around VMware's neck and you are a VMware customer, you're screwed. If you are an investor in Dell, your are about to spread the cost of your fuck-up on the public market, and specifically on VMware's other shareholders. (See stories hitting the wire that look like "VMware plunges on news...)

I met Jonathan Corbet at the Boulder (Colorado) LUG back -- had to be sometime between 1998 and 2001, back when the meetings were held at NIST. I'd been an avid reader because their news was always timely, their articles more technical and in-depth that others, and they were local Linux enthusiasts. I continue to be impressed with their technical and editorial content.

That is true of uncompressed audio. Once you compress the audio, the noise is going to look pretty much the same. Much of the phase information which is necessary to distinguish one sample from another is gone, and all that is left is the frequency domain which is pretty much the same from one white noise source to another.

Since these lotteries have fine print legalese that lays out what happens ...

What the advertising giveth, the fine print taketh away.

Polygamy in their culture isn't a disease, it's a symptom of a disease.

Oh... you're going straight to hell for that one. -- Gomer Pyle

The multiculturalists are going to be up in arms over this comment. You should respect everyone culture, no matter how abhorrent it may be.

Aren't ant-trust issues typically handled by the FTC?

It only costs 18 cents if your time is worth nothing. Way faster to go out of your way and wait in line at SBUX. /s

Engineering software is about following industry standard best practices, including those provided by orgs such a CERT. Virtually all software engineering BS programs have security related coursework as an elective, not a requirement for graduation. Until that changes, it's going to be a ugly scene.
