Aren't Apple developing their own CPUs?

I thought the name was weird and found this:

The name was chosen in 2012, two years before the open source project was started. I had just gotten done with an exhausting and ultimately frustrating survey of OSS database products for the backend of a new private photo sharing service called Viewfinder. I'd tried and found wanting MySQL, Postgres, AWS SimpleDB, Hbase, Cassandra, and Riak.

I was annoyed. Why wasn't there a scalable, survivable, consistent database with transactions? I was even willing to drop transactions as a requirement – a terrible sacrifice. The frustration led me to write a manifesto. What would the "right" database look like?

I imagined it would be composed of symmetric nodes, require no external dependencies, spread itself naturally across availability zones for survival. Each node would autonomously replicate and repair data. These were the capabilities that led me to the name "cockroach", because they'll colonize the available resources and are nearly impossible to kill.

Is it overclocked though? The article says it was overclocked to 4.3GHz. But that CPU has a turbo clock of 4.2GHz [1]. So maybe a 0.1 GHz overclock at most? Or none at all? That Intel CPU has a turbo clock of 4.5GHz, so AMD beats Intel at a lower clock speed? But then I read that turbo clock only affects the two most used cores... I guess it's pretty hard to compare lol

Why not require some kind of USB-C compatibility details on all USB-C related products? So you know if you use the device/cable what will actually work/not work?

99 little bugs in the code, 99 little bugs.

Take one down, patch it around...

127 little bugs in the code.

What do you think is more likely judging by the WH and Trump's behaviour, though?

Sure we don't have proof right now as it would be Top Secret if it exists, but I'm sure we will find out in due time.

I will reserve my final judgement until the special counsel investigation is completed, but it certainly seems to point towards collusion to me, or Trump has something just as big to hide (RICO).

No? Someone just mentioned it was an upside when going to jail that would be lost if people don't go to jail.

That's why I mention sending them to jail if the test is failed. Society gave them a chance and they failed - now they go through the usual process.

Well I imagine with this in place, you would get drug tested regularly, and if you fail those tests eventually you would actually go to jail since you would not be respecting what you need to do?

Helps when you have inside knowledge of how the every part of the engine works though.

Would be fun to say something over intercom, then hear hundreds of echos answer back.

Well the example they give, Edward Woodard, is someone who got 23 years sentence for fraud, which is not really related to what happened during the 2008 financial crisis?

>From 2008 to 2011, Woodard and Stephen Fields, a former executive vice president and commercial loan officer at the bank, hid the bank’s financial condition, authorities said. Bank insiders also gave preferential financing to troubled borrowers to buy properties Bank of the Commonwealth owned, prosecutors said.

So that was after the crisis - they wanted to hide how bad it affected them?

Yeah which is too bad.

If you're reckless in your car and get into an accident, can you be jailed? Yes, for reckless endangerment.

Why is there no such thing in the financial world, especially after 2008 :(

Could also simply be a matter of browser history not being deleted. Equifax doesn't seem to have hired the best lol.

Ah yeah, I remember when people went to jail because of the 2008 financial crisis.

(sure, apparently nothing illegal was done, it was just recklessness and poor judgement, but I see why people would think wall street always get off scot-free)

>despite infecting at least 100 computers worldwide.

Really? Then why is it so surprising lol

This is why I never clean.

How does that work? If you can't store the CVC/CVV, how come I don't have to re-enter it when I re-order form say Amazon or Foodora? Or maybe I do have to enter it? Don't remember :|

Because you're missing one hour of sleep? Maybe try to ease into it? 2-3 days before it happens, start getting up 15 minutes earlier. Then 30 minutes. Then 45 minutes. Then when its daylight saving get up on time (which would be 60 minutes earlier than usual, but only 15 minutes earlier than the day before).

The parent comment says just that

What reason did they have to fire you? Other than downsizing your team or something, what possible reason could they have had to fire you 2 months into your paternity leave?

I don't think they are that similar: https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...

Maybe once net neutrality goes down the drain

Those links just point to real-time NASDAQ :(

I mean... isn't all that knowledge in books, patents, papers, Internet, etc. No need to 'steal away' anything?

There's a difference between crying "Fire!" to willingly cause panic over nothing (ie: intent to cause harm), and a mistake...

Text from your first link even says that:

> A person is guilty of a crime of the third degree if he knowingly causes such false alarm [...]

It wasn't that nasty. Might just be because I have no sympathy for people saying things like they are fact, yet don't know what they are talking about.

Oh so he just means using lightmaps. Gotcha
