Right, so the game becomes making your viewpoint as extreme as possible to shift the window of the council in your favour. What could possibly go wrong. Not all viewpoints are equally valid. Just finding the middle of the viewpoints that ex

Dropbox has (and as far as I'm aware, always has had) full Linux support?

This could just be an ambiguous wording thing, i.e: it's one 375GB effective volume, backed by NVME in RAID0. I dunno how it works, but depending on how it's sold (e.g: you choose the size you need, then the redundancy/perfor

Not ITX, but if you are willing to accept a custom form factor (which are even smaller) check out ServeTheHome's Project TinyMiniMicro, they are great bang/buck for that kind of thing. If you can wait for some company to go throug

A very good video, and goes over a lot of the points I've made in this thread in good detail, I also recommend it.

Please cite it. Every time someone claims this, they come back citing something laughably easy to disprove like The Bell Curve, which claims this, and is just an absolute mess of obvious nonsense: Using deeply culturally and/or languag

Even if we accept that (and I gave plenty of reasons above why IQ is deeply, deeply, flawed as a metric, and the link to race—both at all and in terms of amount—is deeply questionable, and just because there is some difference in early chil

IQ is a deeply questionable metric to start with (I have yet to see good evidence IQ tests measure anything more than "how good at IQ tests you are", and as a child I obsessed over them and got very good at them by learning how

I hope Intel can keep up, actual competition has been so great. It does feel like they are really struggling with their process issues though.

I disagree. I remember the hell of every phone having a different charging cable and having to ask around hoping someone had the same brand as you. Sure, it might be a bit of a pain that you can find a cable/charger that won't sup

Eh, it's a trade-off for sure, but "consumer friendly" is a stretch. Intel still have the issue of requiring BIOS updates for new CPUs, and the issue with having to remove BIOS support can be solved by just telling motherboar

In the first generation the 1600X was a 95w TDP part, with the 1600 being 65w. They shuffle around where the lines are, the numbers aren't always 1:1. They listed Zen 4 at 65w TDP being 74% more efficient than Zen 3 in their slides, wh

by Latty 4y ago
This is just obviously untrue. You can run these chips with more power, but they automatically scale, so if you limit them, they'll still outclass current low TDP options. You might pay more for the privilege and leave potential perf

It's in their roadmap as the next release with distinct SKUs.

Intel have been doing two generations of support for absolutely ages. AMD doing four generations on AM4 was the outlier rather than the norm, and it sounds like they are giving themselves wiggle room this time to do similarly, but potential

In stark contrast, I've never had a switch fail, but I've had rubber domes wear out and stop registering key presses multiple times when I was younger.

If you just want to add text in, it is even easier, no JS required. just CSS: insert an element into your text that is positioned off-screen. When the user selects and copies, they'll get that text too.

An incentive for the wealthy to split their companies up and sell them off, rather than creating giant megacorps with outsize impact on consumers and society? Oh no, sounds terrible. /s

I'm talking about relatively minor levels of taxation. It's absurd to compare that to communism.

The solution: demand taxation that works, and if that fails, general strikes until they get it right, and if that fails, historically the answer is guillotines in the streets—I would never condone violence, but the reality is inevitable if

How extreme do you want to go? - Tax capital gains and dividends that are classically the rates actually paid by the megarich rather than income tax. - Tax wealth directly rather than just income. - Tax much more heavily generally and commi
262.
by Latty 4y ago
In theory, in practice the very rich pay an effective tax rate of around 20%, because they can turn it into capital gains and dividends with lower rates than income tax. So we need to increase taxes there rather than income tax, and, I woul

The NHS is great. I've lived my life with access to it and in a society provided for by it, and wouldn't trade it for anything. Taxes have paid for it, and should continue to do so. What alternative are you offering? Not taxing an

Yes, I am relatively well off and actively support paying more tax myself. I would argue that we should target wealth as much as income, either way. Taxation is paying for a service: the service of living in a nice society. I want to pay to

by Latty 4y ago
Yes? That's why I was very specific about who should pay it. This is such a common response to any taxation. It is true that any solution done wrong can make things worse, but that's not a reason not to try and solve the problem,

I recently went to a small event for a friend, and among the 30-40 young professionals there, this was the resounding mood: the country is fucked and only getting worse, is there a way out? Just generally no one expects things to get better

Tax those who can afford it to help those that can't. At some point if the rich continue to demand sacrifice of the poor to prop up their gathering of wealth, it'll be guillotines in the streets. Historically Britain's upper

Assuming one has to be "more correct" is a fool's errand. You are talking about the dregs of an already corrupt and ideologically (rather than evidence) driven party that was further culled to only those who were willing to s

It isn't so low it's reasonable to force someone to take that risk, and often in abortion cases (young mothers in particular) it's significantly higher.

> The only sacrifice in that case would have been giving birth itself. You say that like this is trivial. Giving birth is literally life-threatening.
