Whatever the merits of this case this has nothing to do with investment and Amazons comment sounds like an amateurish veiled threat. Though if all they have to offer is minimum wage warehouse jobs and water and electricity sucking data centres I doubt anyone will care.

The law is the law whatever they think of it. If you want to operate in a country obey it or get out and just because the monetary side may have been settled the criminal side has not. Tax evasion is a crime in all countries, end of.

Assuming it doesn't contain any embedded x86 assembler and just uses standard C/C++ libraries that are available for both architectures then there should be no reason it can't just be recompiled for Arm.

Not many legacy manufacturers did given the huge upfront development costs.

Quite possibly its changed here in the UK , but I don't fancy spending money on transport, food and the ticket price itself for all the family to find out it hasn't.

I'm not american but I haven't been for over 20 years. Whats the point of paying extortionate ticket prices to sit in a smelly theatre with a floor covered in popcorn and gum with the usual obligatory noise makers in the audience to watch a film that'll be out on streaming - or for us old timers DVD - in 6 to 12 months anyway?

Standard british word yankee. Try getting out more.

I find the quicksort algo way easier to understand that some other sorts. eg good luck figuring out wtf is going on with a cycle sort.

"Radio is an unruly beast, with different propagation characteristics depending on frequency"

Labelling a whole swathe of EM frequencies under the banner "radio" probably fools people into thinking they're all the same. It would be similar to calling everything from IR upwards beyond X-rays "light".

It says 1/4200 on the BBC page so it must be true!

BBC news reporting about science and technical issues these days is about as reliable as a tabloid unfortunately. But then this is the "public service" organisation that has binned most of its science programs unless it involves Attenborough and when they do show any it usually involves a lot of guff about the actual scientist, not their discovery, particularly if its a woman. It also binned its sole 30 min computer program Click recently just as AI is taking off.

Oh come on, those Gary Gygax books were pretty good back in the day for teenagers. You might as well say any game with only limited choices at any given time (most of them) are pointless because you could have written the game yourself.

They're just looking for gullible VC funding that they can blow on high salaries and "entertainment" for a few years before the money is gone, they collectively shrug and say "oh well, we tried", then head off looking for the next scam they can fool rich suckers with.

Subcarriers are still carriers and if the signal was undetectable it would also be undecodable.

"The first world countries no longer beam out carrier based television signals"

Sorry, what? If you think digital TV signals dont use carriers think again.

"The current methods of TV transmission would be undetectable without prior knowledge of the details of the modulation methods"

BS. Look on a spectrograph and digital signals - even ones with multiple carriers - stand out like the proverbial sore thumb from the background noise. If that wasn't the case the military wouldn't have to use methods like spread spectrum and frequency hopping to disquise their signals.

"we still send narrow band AM/FM broadcast radio signals, but will they be there in a hundred years? "

Probably not, but radio will still be used as its a simple and efficient method of broadcasting to multiple spread out targets.

Its not so much they like being bossed around, they're just too stupid to see through the firehose of gibberish. Remember that buzzword bullshit is spoken by and designed to fool, idiots, it doesn't work against people with any reasonable IQ but given the average IQ is only 100 there are plenty of idiots around.

... that incompetents cover up their incompetence with fancy words and general buzzword bullshit in an attempt to sound like they have their finger on the pulse. Anyone who has worked in any reasonably sized company will have met plenty of these people.
