Is Chris Drury still in an axe-swingin’ mood?The New York Rangers general manager has already moved Jacob Trouba and reportedly mentioned stalwart winger Chris Kreider as available for the right offer. With the Rangers still mired in a horrid slump, let’s examine who Drury might move to try and shake up his chargers.The longest serving Ranger, Kreider, has three years left on a very tradable $6.5M deal. Whilst he’s on track to score around 30-35 goals, Kreider’s solitary assist (He’s never been a big helper guy, but sheesh!) through 25 games is embarrassing. Kreider’s still a handful in the crease…

Early Christmas It’s the holidays, or rather it’s not, because, owing to the way print schedules work, Feedback is writing this festive edition in the first week of December. We have ordered presents for Mrs Feedback, we still haven’t figured out what Feedback Jr is going to get Mrs Feedback (with Feedback’s money), we have put up precisely zero decorations and we are staring down the barrel of multiple school events in which we will be required to feign festiveness for the sake of the children. In short, Feedback is feeling grinchy. So this seems like a good time to…

The semiconductor industry’s long held imperative—Moore’s Law, which dictates that transistor densities on a chip should double roughly every two years—is getting more and more difficult to maintain. The ability to shrink down transistors, and the interconnects between them, is hitting some basic physical limitations. In particular, when copper interconnects are scaled down, their resistivity skyrockets, which decreases how much information they can carry and increases their energy draw.The industry has been looking for alternative interconnect materials to prolong the march of Moore’s Law a bit longer. Graphene is a very attractive option in many ways: The sheet-thin carbon material…

Do you remember Sean Spicer? He was Trump’s first White House Press Secretary in 2017 and the left loved to hate him. Saturday Night Live mocked him on a regular basis and journalists accused him of being a liar. Spicer is back in the news this week because something the Democrats did to him a few years back set a precedent that Democrats and the media are going to absolutely hate. If any of Joe Biden’s people insist on keeping their jobs, Trump is going to be able to fire them and Democrats will have nothing to say about it.…
