Exactly. All you need to do is build a $10 million balance system and regularly maintain and calibrate it in a clean room and you are fine. I wonder if you guys have even seen a Kibble balance. I guess it keeps the NIST budget going though.
Don't ask too many questions. After all, real scientists have declared it is quantitatively better. And they even voted on it, so you know it must be better.
And what about manufacturing variances? Yeah, don't think about it too much. The new way is "quantitatively" better. If it wasn't, it would be a total waste of time and money.
I understand: newer is always better. After all, your first computer had only 1 MB of memory. I've always thought the big problem with the world was that we had too simple a system to measure a kilogram. Why not replace the hunk of metal with a complicated balance that only a few standard bodies can afford to make and maintain? It is accurate to 0.000001%, unlike the old method, which was 0.000005%. Total genius. Plus you get to have a party for the scientists, so it is all good!
Any individual Kibble balance will also deteriorate and be out of range of the others. There will also be differences in construction since no system is perfect. You might as well use the current method.
Individuals, businesses and the government. Individuals are the retail customers and sellers and business/government are the AWS customers and retail sellers. Not complicated at all.
Same thing. He is saying they need to delay the beginning of the end of the (inevitable) demise. The author simplified it to they need to delay the demise. The difference is pedantic, and I don't know how you come up with the idea that the headline is the "exact opposite".
That's pretty amazing too! 7000 satellites! 8000 would be even more amazinger! What if you could launch 10,000 satellites? That would be truly impressive. And reusable rockets? Who knew that was even possible? We truly live in a golden age where we can launch 7000 satellites. Just what we need.

Yeah, because no one else hires CS graduates. Only Amazon. Sometimes I wonder if I live on another planet than the typical Slashdotter.
Oh, no. They are going to take theodp's jerb. This guy is so fixated on CS education.. Ridiculous.
Hope they manufacture enough for the holiday buying rush. I think about 14 should do it.
She was also one of the founders and CEO of VMWare. No idea what BeBop was/is.
Whats a Windows?
Who still runs Linux on Intel CPUs?
You must be kidding right? Have you seen the top 10 best seller list? Hint: Harry Potter books were most of them. John Grisham. Pure junk.
Who says I am human? I could be one of those "AI's" you technonuts babble on about.
I don't know which gender Brian McClendon or Jen Fitzpatrick identifies with.
The answer is that Brian McClendon, who was vice president of Google Maps, was replaced by Jen Fitzpatrick. Period. People matter.
Dark matter is the Aether of the 2000's. But it must be there.
Yeah, but with a Kibble balance you KNOW it is precise. Sure you do. Unless it is wrong.

I know exactly what they did. But apparently you don't, based on your "explanation".

Sure. Like I said, genius.

This is the James Dyson award. It just needs to look clever, not actually work. He has made millions off of that.
Yeah, it is really revolutionary. There are factories pumping out the new designs as we speak.
This is as impressive as last year's winner. It was a foldable paper biker helmet. Genius.
