Nice. I'm impressed.
Translator jobs are going to go poof! overnight.
Just sayin'.
Translators sure, interpreters no.
Interpreters also have to factor in cultural context and customs, ensuring that meaning is conveyed without offence being given in formal contexts.

Viterbi was a founder. He is an historically significant engineer.
Qualcomm once had 7 engineers and zero lawyers. They hire lawyers much faster than they hire engineers

I had to dry out my boots once with a panel heater, after a passing driver decided to enliven my rainy-day walking commute by driving through an overflowing gutter and drenching me from head to toe.
I wouldn't have liked to try it with a cat instead...
Use enough duct tape and a cat would be fine for this
It has higher energy density than Lithium, so theoretically yes it could increase the battery life of your phone. For equivalent energy the size is 33%, so one could fit 3x the energy capacity into a cell of the same size.
until phone makers realise they can shave 1mm off the thickness of the phone by cutting the battery size by 66% (and they will)
Then we're back to barely-a-day-of-charge
How? What can you realistically avoid? (edit: or rather, what do you mean?)

I’m curious now, what’s the largest company that’s clearly passing up additional revenue because they prefer to say, “nah we’re good. The current business model makes us enough money.”
Same with private VC/PE held companies. The board will replace the C-Suite if they aren't maximizing value.
You'd need to find a company which is huge but privately held by a group of people with only good intentions.
