They died when inkjet ink became their core business the rest of the company revolved around.
Also Carly fiorina, she ruined it for women ceos for a while.
Cups was due, too much functionality on too many systems, it needed to be more limited and secure by default.
This sounds entirely reasonable.
For larger applications you don’t use agm, you often go back to flooded batteries with even replaceable, high cycle cqthodes: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/B9781782420132000030
No, wouldn’t be news.
It won’t, the market share is generally complementary, not competitive, the sectors tend to be different (more or less until recently).
Mostly, if people are really scared into might fold (unlikely, but we don’t know everything) then the ftc will roll out the red carpet for a player like Intel.
Doubt it will happen, qcomm is too smart, but it’s not unthinkable, and it would give qcomm domination over US cpus, save hyperscalers.
It only happens if people are truly terrified.
A miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion. Well, not entirely.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy, spontaneous abortion is the termination by the body of the mother.
The exception is cases where the fetus dies and is then ejected, iirc that’s considered a miscarriage but not always an spontaneous abortion.

What we colloquially call abortions are technically induced abortions.
Molten salt sounds like a terrible design for modular, the whole problem is if it loses power it freezes solid, you’d want a huge one with tons of backup imho.
I’d imagine a tiny pebble bed or traveling wave, something fairly inert and safe.
Edit: I guess that’s the point, give someone a reactor, if they screw it up it safely freezes dead. Problem solved.
Basically you save money on tech/support because of scale.
So you triple and quadruple your sales and marketing spend to get more business.
In the end it just doesn’t work, except the smaller guys and a lot of them are just hanging on as the stacks get more complicated.
Aws and gcloud are thickening the stack and driving everyone else out of business.
We really need them for boomers, for the world’s sake.
Nobody wants it, they just want brighter lights for themselves to compensate for being blinded by the brighter lights of others, but actually to retaliate, nobody can have brighter brights than me!
We’d need regulations for this, which we’d never get, especially after the Chevron doctrine was reversed.
Poles: “Don’t invite them over for beer…”
Yeah, so we’re still what, 10k behind China this year?
Hello.
As someone who’s in the space and has been around Qcomm and their deals before.
It won’t happen.
They will flirt like you can’t imagine, they will propose, make offers, etc.
But closing the deal? No.
They are very smart, and Intel is too big for them to dismantle and exploit with value.
Their interest is not in Intel belonging to them, but in a large, Intel shaped hole in the market that they can attack, and their discussions are more likely about Intel’s roadmaps so they can understand how they could best exploit Intel’s fall.
They are unlikely to even hire some of Intel’s spoils, maybe a few strategic VPs, but… they’re just smart and ruthless and Intel is the dregs and bloated nowl.
The only way they’d do it is if the government sweetened it such that Intel was basically free, and they could fire as many as they want in a reasonable period, basically letting them own Intel without any cost at all. That is possible depending on how desperate the government is to prevent their fall, but I don’t think anyone can make the right promises in time.
Oh, my bad. That makes perfect sense and I have no objections for purely thermal storage.
It said steam to customer, my brain filled that in with turbine.
I can buy all of it, near perfect heating, but 2% for their forced air circulation combined with turbine and generation losses? Seems too good to be true.
Chatgpt (because we’re all lazy) :
Total Thermal to Electrical Efficiency
The overall thermal-to-electrical efficiency of a power plant, often referred to as plant efficiency, is the product of the steam turbine efficiency and the generator efficiency. Typical overall efficiencies for fossil-fuel-based steam turbine power plants (e.g., coal, natural gas) range from 33% to 40%.
In more advanced configurations like combined cycle power plants, which recover waste heat from the steam turbine exhaust to generate additional electricity, efficiencies can reach 50% to 60%.
Calculation Example:
If the steam turbine has an efficiency of 40%, and the generator has an efficiency of 98%, the total thermal-to-electrical efficiency would be:
\text{Total Efficiency} = 0.40 \times 0.98 = 0.392 \text{ or } 39.2%
So, for every 100 units of thermal energy input, 39.2 units are converted into electrical energy.
And that’s if you’re just heating the water before it hits the turbine, including the air circulation and basic entropy (there’s a limit to how much you can pull out via heat differential), it seems like it should go down from there.
They use hot air warmed by gas burners.
Since we’re using electricity here, and this was mentioned in the study linked elsewhere, they used ceramic heaters.
Meh, you’re not wrong, but I had the older gpd win2 for years and it was just incredible, nowhere near the power in this thing but full windows and a gamepad made steam rpgs endless fun.
But this is a walkable, plus full gaming pc with an egpu (becomes a monster actually).
