This page has a section titled "Cups, Not Calories". It hurts my soul that anybody producing a table such as that is using something as vague as a "cup" in their calculations.

Fair enough, that is on me. What i actually meant was there is little to gain for individuals who aren't already relatively wealthy. For those living at or below the poverty line, 8% of nothing is nothing. It isn't until you get t

GDPR works within a legal framework. It requires investigations and evidence and it metes out fines for non-compliance, eventually. A fine doesn't reverse stolen/hacked data, nor does it work particularly well on the megacorps who

Just checking here but are you comparing a macbook with 96GB of machine RAM to a GPU with 48GB of on-card RAM? Because if so you can get a good pc with 96GB of machine ram for significantly less than $4000. Unless the claim is that an M3 Ma
