Maintaining fabs is expensive. AMD got to push debt onto Globalfoundries with the deal, and Globalfoundries could focus on other opportunities, not just AMD. Globalfoundries has since fallen behind in process node, with TSMC and Intel leadi

So the insurance company is the bookie.

Not really. I don't think the insurance company thinks of themselves as a lucky winner when they have to payout a claim. They lost the bet. However, in theory insurance is more about pooling risk, where payouts from claims do not excee

Corps don't just get to magically do whatever they want without repercussion. The purpose of corps is to better humanity, and they should certainly fear "the people" if they are are doing the opposite.

If they don't want to be political, then they don't need to be political. That means: - No lobbying. - No campaign or PAC contributions. - No bandwagoning onto political social causes for marketing-only purposes. A lot of corporat

Sexuality is getting closer and closer to being a fully-protected class, so they are going to have to suck it up, just like the bakers who didn't want to serve black people decades ago. They can deny service to anyone, so long as it do

Do they really hand out severance when you're voluntarily leaving? Typically that's for layoffs or "soft" firings.

Yes, you look to be right that the Samsung-designed Mongoose core in the Exynos SoC had 128-bytes cache line size, while ARM designed their generic Big cores to also use 64-bytes like their Little cores. Still though, seems like ARM did not

Barter is "natural", but so is tribalism/centralized governance, and monopolistic practices. Yes, it does have to be "we'll do it better/smarter this time" for both governance and the market-based economy(

Most countries run on fiat to exchange wealth. Fiat already takes a huge leap of faith in the state issuing it. To think that the current economy is anything like barter is bogus. There is too much blind trust that the current economy is mo

The worst is when you do write up docs, there are links to the docs, but then people ask questions answered in the docs, and then fail to even really attempt to read the docs after you tell them it's in the docs. Often people want a qu

Why do you expect better docs from free projects? You could certainly try to be the change you want to see, but you'll find it is not easy to create comprehensive documentation for these projects, and then dedicate yourself to keeping

Because SIM identifies subscriber, and IMEI identifies equipment. They are not the same thing.

Are you sure this would not cause problems if two devices with the same IMEI were on the same tower, or even same provider? It might look fishy having multiple dups floating around on your network. If one of these devices gets IMEI blacklis

"You are not smart" is an insult. "Your plan will never work because of X, Y, Z." is direct/blunt. "I'd suggest you make changes X, Y, Z to the plan, because I don't think your plan will work as it st

Wouldn't this mean the networking interface is now Layer 7? It has to understand how QUIC works. Sounds like Smart NIC, though that seems mainly enterprise focused.

I automatically assumed this was a ploy to dodge unemployment/redundancy benefits for employees. This also happens in the US. Much harder to get benefits if you voluntarily quit versus get fired or laid off.

An idle computer clocks down and sips power. Going full bore mining coins results in significant power usage increases. We're talking 10 watts vs 100s of watts.
