Since Ether was made difficult to get in the 1990's, producers have been using nastier drying agents. As someone that had done the stuff made with Ether, the present quality is shite.
If China is using for example Apple's data to help incarcerate their citizens, does anyone else think Apple shares responsibilty? Would a Uigur that was detained and tortured have possible legal standing in the US to sue the American corp. that helped enable the surveilance?
I think you are right about Chromebooks and the connectivity will be tempting. Microsoft with the approx. 40% x86 emulation penalty will be a couple of years later.
In Massachusetts it is common to have two different ammounts bepending how you choose to pay. For instance, my bail was $100,000 cash or 1 million bond. Seeing as bail bondsmen typically require a 10 percent non refundable fee, you would pay the cash ammount and it is returned upon completion of your trial. The problem perceived by the incarcerated is that the courts would be likely to include a fine similar to your cash bail in a resolution to a guilty finding.
In their early days, escalator's were disruptive in that "elevator operators" were eliminated. I wonder if that contributed to the reluctance to use them at first.
I feel grateful for my old age and limited future participation in the workforce when I read these stories. Anyone that thinks North American companies will have ethical problems with these technologies just isn't being honest.
Now if the headline had said "AMD's chipmaker crippled by virus", I would have suspected Intel of industrial sabotage. Of course less people would read that title I'm guessing.
Because of the nature of humanity, I have noticed that instead of gratitude for a non permanent income. People tend to retain the memory of being stripped of a benafit, rather than the years of help it provided. My neighbor (a former stripper) has had 8 years of rent paid by a government program. She now blames all of her problems on this subsidy ending. I don't have the courage to ask her why she isn't grateful for 8 years of housing.
As an older person that has never really forgiven the commercialization of the Internet, I remember thinking sarcasticly when Facebook was becoming popular, "What a great idea, lets grow everyone's egos supersize and see what happens."
With robotic advances to deal the higher labor intensity of diverse crop farming, I think it could be cost competitive in the near future. The question I think is: Who will be behind funding and developing? I think it would take a "Tesla" type commitment to complete.
Smart phone profit paid the "lion share" of 7nm development. That makes AMD's selling of it's fabs look like a brilliant business move. At the time IIRC AMD sold them in desperation to stay afloat. So maybe just a "lucky" turn for AMD.
I spent 2 years of my life getting price gouged while incarcerated by a split between a company called "Bob Barker Ent." and the local county. Prices were 2 to 4 times "street price". My take; Too bad the inmates got caught.
It seems from this discussion that the skills needed to be successful in buisness inovation are in opposition to those I find needed to have a sucessful and happy life. Honesty, compassion, life/work balance. Is there a good exception to that rule?
Although "Hospitals are prohibited from turning patients away in the US (and I wouldn't want to live in a world where they could do so)." is technically true. For instance if you have aquired Hepatitis C and went to a hospital in the US with no insurance, they will not consider treatment to cure the disease. They will help make you comfortable with your chronic disease until it kills you.
I think someone should note that in most cases it wouldn't be possible for pressure of this magnitude to settle as a plea without the Police over charging in the beginning. Yes, as a felon I have personal experience.
While I've heard that Tesla is a responsible open source software contributor, their service manuals are the most hidden in the auto industry. This problem could be fixed without cost.
I don't have much personal insight but CBD is appearing in the news lately and other people have said it lowers their ability to ""give a shit" about stuff.
The author states "For every watt of power the CPU consumes, it must dissipate a watt of heat." It was always my understanding that that in electrical devices, (with the exception of heaters) the amount of heat produced was inversely proportional to the efficiency of the device. So is it really true that all energy provided to the CPU or SOC is dissapated as heat?
To quote Louis Rossmann, "Apple should have their discrete GPU license revoked". That was when he was repairing heat related GPU damage on like 2012 MBPs.
With the title "rockstar" used in the article. It made me think of what must be an army of engineers and scientists involved in a successful foundry architecture feature size shrink. I guess recognition is for the few.
