A small battery-powered device could maintain the address of the next writable word, otherwise once the device reached the end of memory, it would no longer be useful for. writing. These devices injected a tiny electric charge into a "floating gate", an otherwise-insulated conductor surrounded by an extremely good insulator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-gate_MOSFET The level of insulation required was phenomenal: In order to store a bit of data for many decades, an effective resistance of over 10*20 ohms would have been necessary. If you assume a capacitance of one picofarad (10E(-12) farads) in parallel with 10**20 ohms, that's a time constant of 10**8 seconds, or 3 years. Erasing an EPROM with UV light activated electrons into 'conduction bands' that would not ordinarily be populated, and thus erase the entire device. The first EPROM I ever heard of was the Intel 1702 2 kilobit (256 by 8 bits) device, of which I used one: As the program store of the "Dyna-Micro" single-board computer that I built in 1977. It was extremely difficult to program, requiring very high voltages. The next EPROM I used was a 2708 device, which was far easier to program. Jim Bell

Putting on my "lawyer hat" now, I'd say that the engineer who designed this monstrosity will have to prepare to write a very large check. It is quite anticipatible that eventually a forklift would eventually strike a beam on the lowest level, leading to a collapse such as this. And even if that hadn't happened, an earthquake would likely have set it off. One proper solution would have been to armor the lowest level of shelving to ensure that the highest plausible impact could not have led to such an eventuality. Also, the lower levels of shelving should be stronger, since it is obvious they support more weight. Yet another possibility would be to suspend the shelves from beams of sufficient strength to not allow anything to fall even if any beams collapsed. Jim Bell

An internal battery perhaps or a writable crystal, but how? In the early 1970's, the computer industry went from magnetic core ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-core_memory ) to static and dynamic RAM, losing non-volatility in the process. It was possible to run a CMOS static RAM on a tiny battery, to maintain data when the main system power was turned off. The industry developed UV-erasable EPROM as a substitute, which allowed only the erasure of the entire memory chip, , and some early EEPROM.

Re: This is BS
Right now the US government is talking to the Russian government. The US team is full of people who believe in anti-colonialism. After encountering what must be thousands of hours of deep fakes, they have decided to produce amateur filmmaker quality fake videos in order to show the Russians the US knows how to do things better. And actually release the videos to the public because foreigners must think Westerners are some sort of robots with no discretion. Sent from ProtonMail Mobile

Re: This is BS
Could a nation’s leadership be immune to extortion by sheer stupidity? Telling someone to take a negative action, and watch them be in total disbelief that the negative action occurred is unusual. Telling someone to take a positive action to stop a harmful activity that it is their job to stop is something to disbelieve. This is naturally a country where if you don’t count and buy a little baggie, that’s a felony, but you can sell major decisions for little kiddies. Sent from ProtonMail Mobile
