Given Apple's continued work in chip design, along with the existing pool of chip design talent in Texas... I'd have guessed more than 25% would be locals (if not born in Austin, already present, educated, and employed;>). Sounds like a good move for Apple, and good for Texas as well.
About 4 years ago I started biking to work on an ebike. My commute was a hilly 7miles (1 way). What had been a 15 to 30 minute commute became a 20 minute workout). Now my commute is closer to 13, and I do it in under an hour. My schedule can accommodate an hour long commute...especially since it doubles as a workout.
Or at least seriously suboptimal. Instead of flying empty planes, Heathrow should charge a "non-usage fee" which is a few thousand dollars less than the "ghost flight" costs.
More or less cost neutral to the airline; raises some income for Heathrow... and saves the jet fuel, wear and tear...
Unless AI robots get vastly more flexible rapidly, seems to me that large armies of nasty humans are still a much bigger threat (albeit one we've lived with since time immemorial).
Years ago Bill Joy warned everyone about self replication ("grey goo"). Self replicating *and* self improving seem like much worse ideas than simply arming them.
Use case; Consider some sort of waste repository (nuclear, biologic, something really, really bad to let free..zombie virus perhaps?). Say we've designed the facility to last for thousands of years. Folks have already worried about what happens when the language is no longer known, etc.... would a "killer robot" as a last line of "defense" be worse than allowing the genie out of the bottle?
English is seldom as precise as we programmers would like to make it. "Bread" is defined as "flour, water and yeast"... but various breads are made without yeast... and bread is used generically for food (dating back to hebrew/biblical usage), not to mention using the term to describe money.
Given that the various soy and nut milks have been in use (and named) since the 13th (other sources, 17th) centuries, it seems to me that the horse left this barn a long time ago.
Spring (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(operating_system)?wprov=sfti1 ) beat many of the performance issues. Chorus too, but with different solutions. Linux is not the beginning nor the end of OS development. Kudos to Google management for making the investment

Patents, implementations etc. Not that there isn’t room for innovation as well as popularization.
Standards efforts (IFIP, IEEE) are ongoing. Yearly conferences in reliable computing, so both the original article and most likely the patent itself gloss over engineer-decades (if not centuries) of work.
Once upon a time, we would expect fact checking, follow up questions etc. The difference between first and second tier news organizations was the former would do background research and the latter would breathlessly repeat Marketing sound bytes. Now that the NYtimes behaves more like the latter... Just who are the first tier journalists?
For many classic industrial processes, we select a statistically meaningful units and test them to destruction. If the FAA is trying to fit these "one off" parts into that sort of algorithm the problem should be obvious. Each part is a "one off" and statistical reasoning about batches produced the same way don't (necessarily) apply.
For example, perhaps the Argon supplier accidentally left in some impurities (or worse, the original testing was WITH impurities which happened to help; and the new supply is actually pure... that sort of thing has happened in the past, and it's hell to debug!).
All new Hw/sw can be upward compatible if the organization puts in the effort....but are we really better off ? Compare and contrast the mainframe and PC marketplace evolution.....
Aside from making it easier to port software TO the mainframe, IBM has priced additional capacity *limited to running Linux* much cheaper than native z/OS. So IBM mainframe shops have a strong incentive to add incremental workloads on Linux.
I appreciate that its necessary to adjust the clocks to celestial bodies as appropriate. But why do it all at once, and suffer from the aftereffects.
When a leap second WOULD have been declared, have the NTP stratum-1 servers bias things a bit until the -1 and astro-time match, and let the world catch up over the next few hours/days (one tiny increment at a time).
No software glitches. Tiny differences between systems, but we always have those anyway.
Astronomer's and other's that really care, use -0 time adjusted directly... or adjust their local clocks for a bit.
" I assign papers that must be typed, I have papers turned in online, and I plan to freely refer to texts, videos, and other resources that are available online."
Typed could be done with a typewriter. The onus is on YOU to scan if you need electrons. While it certainly is harder, having to think before typing can provide the student with some benefits as well!
Provide pointers to offline texts that should suffice (books, libraries, etc. still exist).
Videos and other resources can be viewed, when they have access at school, library, or tablet (Amazon is rumored to have a $50 one in the wings).
Since you aren't teaching at an elite private school, make sure that you aren't depriving your students of the chance to learn!
While one can use distilled water, often it sits around potentially growing something (but probably nothing brain eating) so making it fresh has advantages.
Yes, these pests are rare; but the results dire enough one should take reasonable care before putting water up one's nose these days.
Well... yes... it does say arms. But it says it in context "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
so the arms it speaks of are those that would be employed by "a well regulated militia". Other than military police, what militia related activity would involve stunning an opponent?
But the posters who have commented on the insanity of permitting deadly weapons (viz. weapons whose normal operation is to kill) and forbidding non-lethal (when used as intended, have low risk of killing) made a very sound point.
Aye, this does seem to the crux of the dispute. Many researchers have always acted as if the PI is the owner... but that's not what the grant language typically actually says.
So I conjecture that is what the Court(s) will have to decide "is the grant language (and germane government policy documents) to be read as written, or reinterpreted as has been the custom?"
Once upon a time, Courts gave a lot of weight to the language as written. Sometimes they still do. Other times, they seem willing to pretty much turn the language on its head. IANAL and its unclear to me just when they decide to set aside the language as written and when not to.
Given the $$ in play (both directly and for downstream royalties) I'm sure neither Institution is going to give up easily. The implications for other researchers will be far reaching... so I will be surprised if a bunch of amicus briefs aren't filed.
Of course, Apple has been pushing Swift... by the time this tool gains traction, how many of the newest sexiest IOS apps will not port because they aren't Objective-C?
kext signing is a GoodThing for security. Making the system less secure so that lazy implementors are protected isn't a good trade off.
Apple *should* have provided a better upgrade experience so that users wouldn't be surprised, or end up with unbootable systems. Users that don't want to have kext protection CAN turn it off see http://www.cindori.org/trim-en...
To me this is akin to Apple's desupport of WPS ages ago. It took everyone else a while to figure out that WPS was a major security hole (indeed, its still there for most consumers).

Using a Neti pot, NealMed or homebrew .... it seems still sensible to either:
1) Boil water, and hold at temp for several minutes (a "hot pot" e.g. http://www.zojirushi.com/app/p... typically holds the water at a boil for 4min) or
2) UV sterialize http://www.steripen.com/advent... as an example
While one can use distilled water, often it sits around potentially growing something (but probably nothing brain eating) so making it fresh has advantages.
