Also, nova is a Latin word, so obviously it means nova is Spanish. Saying it gets read as "no va", is like saying English speakers read carpet as "car pet".
Spanish "new" = nuevo, nueva . "nova" is not a Spanish word. You are right that the connotations of any non-word may not be determined by the most obvious decomposition into syllables. But "Honda 0" (car) hits entirely differently from, say, "Coke Zero". (btw, "honda" is Spanish for "deep".)
Club seating is pretty controversial. A large percentage of passengers absolutely will not accept a rear facing seat. Chrysler had Swivel 'n Go seats in the center row, that could optionally rotate to club seating as an option from 2008 through 2010, but dropped it due to low interest.
Also, accessibility requirements are about compliance, not market interest. Obviously, they don't matter to most users, and generally the extra usage from complying isn't cost effective. Theoretically, a company could do market research on users who would use accessibility features, but the results won't generally match legal requirements, so it's a much safer option to ignore accessibility needs and instead defer to accessibility regulations.
Clearly Zoox hasn't done the market research, or as is more often the case, did the research then ignored it, so any party of more than two is far more likely to use their competition.
I'm going with a group of friends to go see Project Hail Mary. It's the first time in years that most of us have planned ahead of time to see a movie, because it's mostly been garbage. I think the last time was Avengers Endgame, but we were all pretty disenfranchised in the series by that point.
Having a good home theater does mean I watch far more movies at home than in the theater, but almost none of them are new releases, and the ones that are are usually released straight to a streaming service.
Content protection and accessibility are in direct conflict with most approaches. Working on making the a11y layer something I handle properly rather than just hoping CSS ordering is enough.
I agree wholeheartedly to the first point, but then why undo that by using a set-top box that only works after phoning home? I'd rather the manufacturer not even know my IP address, let alone get a full login.
I have that on my LG tv but it's kinda pointless, it doesn't remove the adware from the home screen and hunting the ip addresses down it connects to is a pain in the ass so the tried and tested method was to not give it Internet access
How is no one noticing that the whole release-a-rewritten-codebase-under-a-permissive-license has happened before, with BSD Unix? This methodology predates clean-room rewrites.
There's definitely enough transistors in there for a microcontroller. It only takes a few thousand. If you're building a custom integrated circuit in the first place, the cost of a microcontroller core is relatively low, and often the cheapest option. The alternative is to write the logic in a hardware description language (HDL) like Verilog, and implement it with logic gates.
The microcontroller approach uses a fixed number of transistors, with cheap mask ROM scaling with complexity, whereas the HDL approach scales its transistor usage with complexity. The HDL approach usually runs much, much faster, is far less error prone, and takes longer to develop.
Which approach is better depends a lot on the application.
