Chuck Peddle Passes
by Razer 27 Dec '19

27 Dec '19

Like Tim May, a Santa Cruzer who really didn't give fux for moneygrubbing techie libertards infesting the industry. "Chuck Peddle, the engineer and entrepreneur who helped launch the age of the personal computer after designing a microprocessor that sold for a mere $25, died on Dec. 15 at his home in Santa Cruz, Calif. He was 82. His partner, Kathleen Shaeffer, said the cause was pancreatic cancer. In 1974, Mr. Peddle and several other engineers were designing a new silicon chip at the Motorola Corporation in Phoenix when the company sent him a letter demanding that he shut the project down. Mr. Peddle envisioned an ultra-low-cost chip that could bring digital technology to a new breed of consumer devices, from cash registers to personal computers. But his bosses saw it as unwanted in-house competition for the $300 processor Motorola had unveiled that year. So Mr. Peddle moved the project to MOS Technology, a rival chip maker near Valley Forge, Pa., taking seven other Motorola engineers with him. There they built a processor called the 6502. Priced at $25 — the cost of a dinner for four, and the equivalent of about $130 today — this chip soon powered the first big wave of personal computers in both the United States and Britain, including the Apple II and the Commodore PET. “The market needed a cheap one,” Mr. Peddle said in a 2014 interview with the Computer History Museum. In later years Intel, the Northern California chip giant, would come to dominate the personal computer business. But the market was seeded in Valley Forge, not Silicon Valley. “Chuck Peddle is one of the great unsung heroes of the personal computer age,” said Doug Fairbairn, a director at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif. “Virtually all of the early, successful, mass-market personal computers were built around the 6502, not chips from Intel or anyone else.” More: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/24/technology/chuck-peddle-dead.html

Please keep feeding the trolls - [PEACE]

Why can't we stop feeding the trolls? Latest frenzy over 'it's OK to be white' proves society desperately wants to be offended https://www.rt.com/op-ed/476520-white-supremacy-pranks-4chan-offense/ A plague of “it’s OK to be white” stickers has struck Perth, Scotland, “sickening” local authorities. The slogan’s origins in an internet prank are known, yet it’s still taken seriously – nor is it the sole case of self-trolling. The stickers’ arrival in Perth catapulted the town into a state of shock, to hear the BBC tell it on Tuesday. “It’s sickening and disgusting to know that people think like this,” an anonymous resident told the outlet, while local group Perth Against Racism claimed to have been contacted by multiple people who “felt unsafe” upon seeing the stickers. You are NOT OK. They want you dead and gone.BBC News - Perth city centre 'It's okay to be white' stickers condemned https://t.co/Zp7ljyppZz ...

Whereas previously, Europeans could be kept on-message with the project of their own demise with nothing sterner than a set of Thaler and Sunstein nudges and a palette of meaningless and generally incorrect epithets, the populations of Europe are beginning to get it: either we put grown-ups back in charge of the ship, or it is going down. ...
