Today I learned that California has more of a direct democracy. Is what you described maybe a side-effect of that? Where a tiny minority can out-voice a majority?

So then you would conglomerate farms, reduce retail (and replace with what? Edit: Oh, you must mean the shift to online retail.) and I suppose also work on changing what is taught in classrooms, so that the next generation willingly sells t

What prevents said structures from being built?

So what's the solution?

> Please show me this CPU with a higher transistor count. That was my question to you. You claimed, "It's 2018 and the top chip on that chart still has the highest transistor count of any CPU on the market." Which I take

Okay, so the comment is then that you believe Moore's law no longer holds because for the past two years transistor counts on CPUs have not increased. On that basis, I might agree. Not (as you were stating earlier) about the sizes of t

When I saw the lead sentence of the article I pictured puffins wearing sunglasses. "Scientists have even made special sunglasses for puffins..." SlowBro may be slow, but he's a bro B-)

Agribusiness that is run by families passing down the family trade. I just updated my comment fleshing out my thoughts more, please have a look.

I'm just the messenger. Apparently there is some sort of criteria for what a "dense integrated circuit" is for the chart previously pasted, and apparently all of the listed processors passed the required criteria for charting

So if they're scraping by maybe due to lean years such as during the recent drought, you would be comfortable with the family business being shut down? Farming is typically a low-margin business. Over taxation is one of the primary sta

> But the die size didn't grow at nearly that rate, large dies remain very expensive to make. But again, did transistors double in count on any processor, not just GPUs? If so, Moore held. Yes, according to this chart: https:&#x2

> On top of this, you can continue to give large multi-million dollar estates down indefinitely to your children without the estates being reassessed for tax purposes. Correct me if I’m wrong. Doesn’t this scenario also describe handin

To repeat: Moore’s law is about transistor count, not size. From the Wikipedia article linked in the comment above yours: “Moore's law is the observation that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles approximatel

Could this be a boon to the ReactOS and WINE communities? Or is the code too disconnected and old to be useful?

Lots of people love the Lenovo X220, which can be upgraded with simple screwdrivers to the latest and greatest processors and motherboards using fan-made motherboards. (That’s how popular they are, fans are making newer motherboards for the

+2 for namecheap. After an unbelievably horrid experience with 1and1 I switched over to NC and their support has been simply a breath of fresh air. Fast support, knowledgeable reps, everything (usually) works, at a good price. Pry NC out of

I recently turned 40 so I’m thinking about old people stuff. But I know it’s not too late to reinvent yourself. Despite years of chronic fatigue (hence my username) I decided to start a manufacturing business and go after all those dreams I

Yep I am aware. And there are even easier methods: A $30 keystroke logger could be inserted on my keyboard USB plug and I’d never notice.

I’m so happy to see this. Keyboards allow me to have private conversations in an office setting, which is great because I am shy in person :-) It’s one reason I suppose that we will have keyboards around for a while longer, despite advances

Oh I actually wrote a fairly complex expect script once, many years ago, and forgot most of it :-) It wasn't bad as I recall, but I'm on a timeline so not eager to pick it up again right now. Thanks all the same.

Bottle looks like the answer. I read through the entire Tutorial in about 30 minutes and understood almost everything without even needing to try it out first. Got to the end and, "That's it? Wow that is simple." One can le
