Moore's law of components, "a component being a transistor, resistor, diode or capacitor", at minimum cost. Transistors per integrated circuit – The most popular formulation is of the doubling of the number of transistors on integrated circuits every two years. At the end of the 1970s, Moore's law became known as the limit for the number of transistors on the most complex chips. The graph at the top shows this trend holds true today. Density at minimum cost per transistor – This is the formulation given in Moore's 1965 paper. It is not just about the density of transistors that can be
The No Asshole Rule feeling humiliated. Sutton makes the caveat that while it is essential to screen for assholes, a company should not recruit “spineless wimps.” He believes constructive arguments benefit firms and help workers come up with better ideas. Sutton cites the Intel co-founder Andy Grove as someone who believes workers should challenge each other's thoughts. Intel teaches employees “how to fight” and requires new employees to take classes in ‘constructive confrontation.’ The necessity of the No Asshole Rule and the damage assholes do is discussed by Sutton. He relays Bennett Tepper’s research on 712 employees. Many of these workers had bosses who
