Nobody who's actually wealthy would describe a Hummer as "nice".

Privacy? They don't allow you to opt-out of Friend Emojis...

Hopefully this is true. We need to have competition in the high-end of the CPU market again.

Good luck trying to make an electric car last 200+ miles at F1 race speeds. The technology for an electric F1 car just isn't there. Formula E is making advances in that regard but it's just nowhere near the level of F1 ATM.

Rote memorizing algorithms is definitely not the same as understanding why and how they have their specific properties. When you can just use them as-is, it'll work, but without that understanding, tweaking for your specific use case will be hard.

Magic is great, until it stops working and you have to figure out why.

It wouldn't be if it were legal and the women in question had access to legal recourses to protect themselves from exploitation.

Plus, in the event of a huge Earthquake, you'd probably have access to FEMA funds anyway.

But you can have streets which are far narrower as driverless cars can coordinate on how to make it work well.

I missed it too and I came to the comments to complain about it, I guess the author didn't make it very clear.

The problem with the Kardashev scale is that it ties the advancement of a civilization with its energy consumption.

In order to qualify as a Type III civilization, you pretty much need to harvest ALL of the energy in a galaxy.

There's nothing unfair about your descendants (or other heirs) acquiring your belongings once you pass away (assuming proper tax was already paid on said belongings).

Land value taxes are called property taxes.

Maybe sprinting?

Definitely this, it's ridiculous how early stuff closes around here and how early people go out. Moving from Mexico it was a big shock.

It'd be more interesting to see a test with more branching as that is the one big area where x86 CPUs tend to shine compared to "simpler" architectures (or things like GPUs).

Also, I don't think this exercises the Floating-Point units for these CPUs (haven't looked at the code though).

At least it'll discourage people from crawling at 45mph in a highway.

The high-end market is mostly gamers, which is 95%+ Windows.

As a grown adult, having roommates is not really an acceptable situation.

What kind of work-issued device is not put on an enterprise management policy? (a.k.a. the employer should be able to unlock it)

iOS makes it intentionally much easier to just use Apple Maps and deal with the badness than to use another map App.

40 replies in a minute? The app is so slow it takes like 3 to 5 seconds to even display each snap, and this is on a top-of-the-line phone.

Clicking on an address defaults to fucking Apple Maps... Let me say that again: Apple Maps...

DAE M$?

Most of their articles and videos seem to be quite objective. Might be run as a way of raising awareness (every once in a while) of Middle Eastern progress, but I certainly wouldn't call that propaganda.

Why would you use the screen real estate on a "conversation" then instead of just showing the data?

This relies on you actually remembering the text commands though, as opposed to just seeing the different buttons and taping whichever one you care about.

Wow, an honest, zero-based Y-axis for once!

Why would I migrate from Mint to this?

One of the key points that is not covered as widely is that the workers were also demanding the right to unionize. This is a general right in Mexico but a lot of employers use a loophole where it's possible to have a "planted" union that's friendly to the company as the default union, I believe this allows the company to prevent the creation of another union.
