The Intel CEO had always come from engineering fab. This kept the high level decisions made by somebody who understood the product and how it was made.

Then CEO and the head of fab was caught sexually harassing employees. They were both shown the door. So no CEO and the guy who was next in line were gone. They needed the number 2 in fab to take over fab to keep production up.

So the board decided to make the CFO the new CEO. A guy who had a MBA was running a chip company that had only been run by engines.

Profits went up for a while but then Intel struggled to maintain innovation and properly upgraded fab and chip design. Add the increasing skill of rivals and a increase in importance in chips other then server and desktop. which were the only areas Intel was king. It’s a recipe for failure.

I use VSCodium and other then bulk comment / uncomment and renaming I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

I’d love some examples to help improve.

Copyright is classified as a legally enforced monopoly. So are patents.

Personally I think both have been made overly long in duration and broad in scope. But without some exclusive period I can’t see things like TV shows, movies, books, or games being made with even 1% of the current quality or quantity.

I really dislike lower decks. I find it annoying and lacking in ideas. I feel exactly the same about Final Space the previous show by the creator.

That said I don’t think it’s bad or not very “Star Trek”. It just completely grates on me.

To contrast I really like TOS, TNG, and DS9. I thought VGR and ENT felt “Star Trek” but badly written. DSC and PIC are badly written and don’t feel “Star Trek” to me. I’ve herd the final PIC season is pretty good so I’ll give it a shot at some point.

The good news is being vaccinated and boosted greatly reduces your risk of long covid even if you do catch it.

Yeah Piper Peeri is the tiny blond from the meme with her and five big black guys. She has some dark stuff in her past that I always think of when that meme pops up.

You say it’s a non-representative performance for Biden but that’s not really true. Biden has not been doing many interviews. He does prescripted events where he can use a teleprompter.

You have to go back to Regan to get fewer press conferences. He even skipped the traditional superbowl interview that is a notorious softball.

This all suggests that his team knows he can’t handle an interview and are avoiding it. If they thought he could handle it with his polling they would have him doing them all the time.

After the debate performance he needs to do something to show he can string some thoughts together in a coherent way. I think this Fridays interview is a desperate last shot to do that.

The way things are going he is either going to leave before the election or shortly after the election.

New Who tends to run on Bugs Bunny logic but also wants you to take it seriously. Try some old Doctor Who if you can handle very bad effects. Early Tom Baker or the Jon Pertwee stuff at least tries to make sense.

Also they often have the doctor have to work at the problem and have a plausible solution. Now it’s just I pushed the radiation in my shoe.

Back then the sonic screwdriver was just a high tech swiss army knife. The doctor would use it to open panels and rewire things. These days it’s a do anything magic wand.

I think Jodie Whittaker could have been a good doctor but like Peter Davison she was a doctor with a bad show runner and bad writers.

He should do a travel show called Food Omens.

It was supposed to be a history education show. Travel through time and learn about history. They dropped that by story 2 where they go to an alien planet and meet the Daleks.

Here is an 8 minute video that goes into more depth on how this works. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FjjJha7HMI

Actually no. Batteries and thier inverter adapt in the about one second to half a second range. The massive inertia of a turbine adapts in the millisecond range.

To maintain 60 hz you need to be in the very low milliseconds range. Remember at 60 hz you do a full sin wave cycle in 16ms.

Turbines act as a tremendous power smoother in the grid.

Partially. Inverters providing virtual inertia is good but has the problem of still being active and reactive. It helps and is cheaper and more efficient than flywheels.

Flywheels and turbines however provide a very sticky frequency. They help out a lot with stability and give inverters time to respond.

Think balancing a stick on your hand vs anchoring it in clay.

If we take enough turbines off line we are still probably going to need some mechanical power stabilization no matter how inefficient.

But yeah I think we are going to see a blend using as much electrical and as little mechanical as possible.

It’s not just base load, turbines also provide grid stability. All the quick fluctuations as people turn things on and off are hard to load balance with solar, wind, or battery. A big spinning turbine has a lot of inertia. That helps keep thr grid at a constant frequency. As solar gets bigger and bigger we might need big solar powdered flywheel generators just to stabilize the grid.

Yeah he was 17 at the start of Next Gen. He is 51 now. A lot of time to get better at acting.

If you are trying to steel credentials from people with power and money passengers in first class are a good target.

Where else are you going to find a cluster of people like that that are using the wifi and are going to be there for hours. It’s about as optimal as I can think of.

Even better if you are targeting a spefic company. Just pick flights out of the headquarters for that company.

If you want to attack say Microsoft pick a flight from Seattle to DC. Pretty good odds of a Microsoft high up being on the flight and wanting to use the wifi for work.
