Having the same currency as Greece has allowed German exports to remain disproportionately cheap
Except that Greece was buying things with money they borrowed from Germany.
I mean a phone charger, not a wireless charger for the car itself.
What's to develop about wireless charging ? It already exists. You just need to mount it in a car.
Who gave it all that money anyway?
Giving money away is easy when it's not yours.
Well, if you save up a few hundred billion dollars, someone might be willing to take you there.
So why aren't there twenty rovers sending 4k video back from the Moon every day, to millions of willing subscribers on Earth, who would love to see the Moon like that?
Once you've seen one grey lunar hill, you've seen them all.
It's not clear what exactly the piece of code does. The "instrument" could refer to the ChemCam.
Arduinos can get by with as little as 5 uA in standby:
And how much for the wifi ?
Assume the device sits in your house behind a NAT router, and you want to access it with your PC at work. How does that work, without zeroconfig, without security, wihout DNS, and without a web server ?
Assembler doesn't help you save data memory, which is going to be the biggest part in a simple networked device.
Any ARM can do TCP/IP, and is cheap and tiny. Having two chips talk to each other only makes things more complicated, and in the end, more expensive.
Nobody in their right mind is going to write rover code in assembly. Too much work, and too much chance of a silly mistakes fucking things up, while the actual code saving is not much. It's much easier and cheaper to add some extra memory instead.
A TCP/IP stack is simple, but there's a lot more to networking than just TCP + IP. You also need a web server, security protocols, zeroconfig, DNS, and plenty of other things.
enough address space to make use of that 32MB without contorted bank-switching bullshit
In other words: any kind of ARM CPU, which is fine because they are cheap and easy to use.
We have a equal opportunity Calculus class -- it's fully integrated.
