Credit cards have strict laws regarding handling of fraudulent transactions. As long as you report it in a timely manner, your liability is limited to $50. The burden of proof is on the bank.

So the question isn't how they merge, but how they do it so quickly.

Even 15 years from now?

Oh yeah this would definitely be something like L4 cache rather than L3 like AMD's X3D cpus. The expectation is as an alternative to DRAM (or as a supplement), kind of like what Xeon Phi did.

5nm can hold roughly a gigabyte of SRAM on a cpu-sized die, that's around $130/GB I believe. At some point 5nm will be cheap enough that we can start considering replacing DRAM with SRAM directly on the chip (aka L4 cache). I wond

Mind you that's completely ignoring the opportunity cost of investing that initial cost elsewhere.

And here I am thinking the rest of the workforce needs to be treated better, rather than using how poorly the rest of the workforce is treated as the ideal example to go by.

You say that with confidence, but there's no legal precedent for whether that's true since it does degrade other device's performance by violating the standard. That's the question brought up that you can't answer,

The question is whether abusing a standard is considered a form of interference, which is covered by the FCC. At this point though, it's just something that hasn't been tested in courts yet. 47 CFR § 15.5(b): “Operation of an in

What's the legality of devices intentionally violating wifi standards and causing potential issues with other devices? Is this something the FCC could act on?

A good example is fixing massive technical debt on a service that's either rarely touched or wont be around in a few years. The performance required to do this is impressive, but it adds little business value. It's all relative, h

I think it's simpler. They were tired of their name and OS being dragged through the mud by your average user who has no idea what they're doing. So they started forcing updates, providing their own anti-virus, started adding lots

I wonder how this compares to the 7950x3d. So much cache and a high boost clock. https://www.amd.com/en/products/processors/server/epyc/9005-...

Oh I'm fully aware of that the ultra wealthy will have to sell off some of their assets. Mind you if this exists, the market will automatically build this assumption into the net worth of an asset. If anything, it will help encourage d

You set a minimum threshold to trigger it, and you set certain realistic exemptions for things that would benefit society, including giving a VC time to mature.

by Salgat 2y ago
Just to be clear, we're talking about a wealth tax above a certain threshold, think hundreds of millions of dollars to billions and billions. This has no application to anything remotely related to the "family farm". And yes,

I don't get why people say a tax on unrealized gains is not feasible. All it means is that a percent of your investment becomes "realized" every year and you sell a portion of your investment to cover it. So if you have a bil

Most carriers, especially in more populated areas, share the same towers.

What I'm saying is that if it really does interfere with LTE in a significant manner, then T-Mobile, a carrier partnering with Starlink, has a large incentive to work with them to reduce that interference.

The cell antennas are omnidirectional but the satellites are phased array. They aren't going to be that narrow, but they can avoid, for example, a city that already has extensive coverage. Remember, these are meant for out in remote

Starlink is partnering with T-Mobile for this, so they're definitely going to be careful to only send signals to areas that are actually lacking in towers anyways. And this is great incentive for carriers to cooperate to make roaming c

My understanding is that any damage to the cybertruck unibody frame, no matter how minor, becomes a catastrophicly expensive repair. There are many laws surrounding fair pricing of insurance rates, and Geico might not want to go through the

That was a fun rabbit hole to go down.

I'd say the vast majority of cases where I use a lock/semaphore is around very expensive resources, where the utilization of that resource vastly outweighs any performance overhead of the lock.

He paid a lab, he just supplied the tissue.

So he gave wild goat tissue from Kyrgyzstan to a lab to clone it, then had it breed with local ewes to produce a hybrid to sell. That's certainly one sneaky way to get around animal importing inspections.

We use something similar for our event based databases. We project millions of events into an in-memory object (usually a dictionary), and periodically persist that state as json in S3. It's guaranteed to be consistent across all servi

I think in general we're overdue for more compiler directives, and not just branch hints. As heterogenous architectures become more standard, we really need a way to tag what functions are best to run with what types of instructions. F

Counter point: that's the stuff you're shoving deeper into your gum line. And to reiterate, I do floss. However, I can see potential issues with it that may counter its effectiveness.

None of your sources are studies with a strong causal link between flossing and dental health. People who floss do have other good dental habits, so there's definitely a correlation that exists. And remember, I'm making no claims
