I see a lot of comments underscoring the possible eugenics implication of this, but I am curious as to why everyone always paints it as a negative? Even in our very diversity-conscious institutions we can generally agree that some things ar

I suppose that it varies depending on the project/person, but I agree that using timedelta is less intuitive than just using seconds (as is done everywhere in Python).

1) Management fees. A fund will usually get ~1% as a management fee. That means that if their allocation strategy gives return of 5%, you will see a return of 4%. Index funds have really low fees (<0.2%) so they don't have to perfor

I'm sure you meant it in jest, but yeah, if you are going to do something illegal at least try to cover your tracks. Naivety is not a virtue.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that they do plan to add ads in the file explorer but only in 2-3 years. They leak it now so they get some flak but they just say "oh no we won't actually do it". Then when they actually roll

If Elon had a superior he would be fired over those tweets for sure, but the rules are different when you *own* the company.

I didn't know that! Crazy to think that a business with $200M in revenue came from a side-project from CollegeHumor.

Right, but that's my point, if PICe 3.0 is not a significant bottleneck to an RTX 3090, it can hardly be seen as one for anyone running non-enthusiast builds.

I bought a 1700 in 2017 when they launched, upgraded to a 3800X 2 years ago and now I might even get to run a 5800X on my B350 board that I paid CA$130 for. This is what good competition looks like. As a customer I love it!

I see this line repeated a lot, but in practice is there any hard data that PCIe 3.0 is bottlenecking reasonably priced hardware? Doesn't seem like it (RTX 3090 is probably at the edge of what I'd consider "reasonably priced&

I wonder when the costs of scale will start to come in? This is interesting because it retrofits an existing kitchen, but it can't be much cheaper than just having something that was built from the ground-up to be an automated grill? T

I am surprised by the direction China took here. This is a European war, not a US one, to me they had everything to gain by painting themselves as a supporter of Ukraine (getting preferable treatment from the EU) than as a neutral party. Ch

How devastating were they really? The west is cutting off Russia, but China will be a good enough market for Russian resources for the next decade. Sure Russia will be poorer as a result, but their invasion of Ukraine is about as bad as it

by belval 5y ago
Indeed, it is possibly a best case scenario for the US, in the sense that now we are getting an example of what happens when a leader pushes through sanctions and it gives us a sense of just how catastrophic a Chinese invasion of a foreign

I don't like Uber, but it became popular because of convenience, not because of costs. Pre-Uber/Lift in my city you'd have taxi companies that were operating like a cartel and giving a shitty service. Drivers were borderline

I probably listen to music on Spotify ~5h a day while I work and I haven't had any downtime ever since I subscribed. As for censorship there was that thing with Joe Rogan, but as far as I know Spotify sided with him so I don't see

To be pedantic, I think the issue is more with the word itself. "Debunk" implies "expose the falseness or hollowness of (a myth, idea, or belief)" which is too strong when it comes to a study, especially when it doesn&#x

I doubted for a second but it seems that H610 does support XMP but only up to CPU max speed (3200Mhz for Alder Lake) which means that it should work as intended. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1411005-memory-speed-on-a

If you are buying a 120$ CPU for a budget build (which realistically is what most people going for an i3 are building) then you don't need those feature. You can have a dirt cheap CPU with a dirt cheap mobo to splurge on the best GPU y
