I can't support the anon-added like-a-resume tag
[edit]I promise that if anyone included the specific text mentioned on a resume, I would not be hiring them for any job unless it involved gaming. Unless there is support for the flag, I expect to remove it promptly.Shajure (talk) 07:32, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
Investor
[edit]Buddy was also an investor, checkout this source: [1] AXONOV (talk) ⚑ 10:20, 20 December 2022 (UTC)
'Bell Labs did not ship Gale a transistor until after Noyce graduated' (Berlin, p. 26, line 10)
[edit]But they did pore over some Bell Labs monographs: 'Together Gale and Noyce, who was far more interested in the transistor than any other student, pored over the Bell Labs monographs: "The transistor and Related Experiments," "Positive Holes and the Transistor," "Physical Principles Invovled in Transistor Action," "Some Contributions to Transistor Electronics."' (Berlin, p. 26, line 11-5)
So the sentences, 'Gale obtained two of the very first transistors ever produced by Bell Labs and showed them off to his class. Noyce was hooked.', is probably a little misleading. He read about it, he didn't actually see the transistor... OkayLetsGooo! (talk) 15:45, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
"Physicist"?
[edit]This seems a weird label. To quote the linked article, "A physicist is a scientist who specializes in the field of physics, which encompasses the interactions of matter and energy at all length and time scales in the physical universe. Physicists generally are interested in the root or ultimate causes of phenomena, and usually frame their understanding in mathematical terms." That's nothing like what Noyce did. He didn't make new science, he found ways to make science useful That makes him an engineer.
"Engineers ... invent, design, analyze, build and test machines, complex systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objectives and requirements while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost." I think that describes a dude who did more than any one person to create our modern wired world. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 14:38, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just thought of a pop culture reference that might be helpful: Noyce wasn't a Sheldon Cooper, he was a Howard Wolowitz. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 15:46, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
