Having a self-contained document-type is the cornerstone of sharing/remix culture. If you want people to be able to post your neat animated-SVG infographic to Facebook or Tumblr or Imgur or wherever—or to make some derivative of it with a meme plastered on top (and you probably do)—it needs to be able to be right-click-downloaded as a single file, edited as a single file, and then re-uploaded as a single file.
Things are changing quite a bit, especially in IT and Startup world. Engineers are being paid decent salaries, although not as much as the bankers, enough to live happily in Singapore.
Engineers get paid very little. My Singaporean brother-in-law thought I has lost my mind when I decided to become an Software Engineer after my last startup. No money in it in Singapore. The reason being that tons of Indians/non-Singaporean SE Asians come to Singapore and take any work they can get at any price. If you are an especially good engineer and prove your worth then this could be different but for the average engineer it's tough.
Basically creates a pattern from your letters and sequences it using WebAudio. If you look at the Network tab, you'll see the individual mp3 files for each letter being downloaded.
Ah! But this chip only has a sub-uA sleep mode. So it will have the said decades battery life if it sleeps most of the time, which might be true in the cases of some kind of IoT application, but not if it's actually running often.
Meet marketing. I will personally buy pizza for one week to any marketing department that, when announcing a new product, publishes figures that are actually useful.
Oh look, we just launched a MCU with a power consumption so low that you can keep it powered for twenty years. As long as you don't do anything with it. Of course, every other figure that would make this one useful (such as per-module current consumption, time to sleep) is missing.
It's especially funny when everyone claims they have "the best" or "state of the art" consumption, but when you factor in everything else it turns out they're pretty much within the noise figure of the current state of affairs.
In my whole engineering career, I'm yet to see a press release or a market launch that isn't full of bullshit. Just hand me the bloody datasheet and give me a break, folks.
I vaguely remember when talking to some ICANN people that there were talks of a system to restrict the domains which the individual root-CAs were allowed to sign for. I don't remember what happened to that.
