I think that Kavanaugh is a major net win!
and : Is Zimmerman's law related to Moore's law?
Wikepedia:
Moore's law is the observation that the number of
transistors in a dense
integrated circuitdoubles about every two years. The observation is named after
Gordon Moore, the co-founder of
Fairchild Semiconductor and
Intel, whose 1965 paper described a
doubling every year in the number of components per integrated circuit,
[2] and projected this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade.
[3] In 1975,
[4] looking forward to the next decade,
[5] he revised the forecast to doubling every two years.
[6][7][8] The period is often quoted as 18 months because of a prediction by Intel executive David House (being a combination of the effect of more transistors and the transistors being faster).
[9]
Moore's prediction proved accurate for several decades, and has been used in the
semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for
research and development.
[10] Advancements in digital electronics are strongly linked to Moore's law:
quality-adjusted microprocessor prices,
[11] memory capacity,
sensors and even the number and size of
pixels in
digital cameras
