And you get a nice bonus that every wafer Intel buys can't be used by AMD/Nvidia.

Haven't seen the movie yet, but from reading the book I just don't see the white savior angle. Freemen were indoctrinated by the Bene Gesserit to believe in a prophesy and Jessica "lies" to them to make them believe Paul

This seems to be incentivising the customer to shop in-person instead of online and seems spectacularly uninspired, they could have simply waived taxes on books for companies headquartered in France? Or really anything that isn't simpl

Net income up 68%, that's terrifying high for a company that size. Good job everyone at Alphabet/Google.

Maybe but from the way they violate the GPL license and keep distributing binary blobs for their hardware I'd go out on a limb and say the money angle is more likely.

Just to clarify because I've failed at doing pretty much the setup that you are describing with my 1080Ti. Does this still require the vgpu_unlock changes for Nvidia cards or is this something that bypasses the need for it entirely?

I wonder if they could check the DNA of the natives that were originally from that area for any "old" Europeans markers or if there was too much mixing from the colonization for such a thing to work.

I always felt like Nintendo games are in a weird category of their own though. You don't buy a Switch to play PC game (I wonder how many copies of Skyrim they sold), you buy it to play the game you listed (I'd add Mario Kart). So

That's kind of his point though, OP did not need to post to HN, he can just contact AWS Support and get the bucket deleted at (probably) no charge. Support will routinely give forgive an account balance given a good enough reason.

Didn't think of that one, that would make sense.

I curious about the opinion of HN on the absence of 1080p (it's still 720p). Specially this part of the blog post: > The decision to maintain the original PinePhone’s screen resolution of 1440×720 was made early on; higher resolutio

That's my take as well, the guy is 88 years old, just keep paying him, for 16k$ he's a nice tourist attraction.

True but even then for $2 shipped I get an ESP8266. On top of that most sellers are really accommodating if the package is lost and will send you another (sure that means in total it takes 5 months for the chip to get to you).

I don't claim to have all the answers, I'm just a software developer. For what it's worth, Jeff Bezos should pay taxes that match his lifestyle I 100% agree, but saying "he has 136B$ in the bank and we should tax that am

Of course it is! The market doesn't have 20B$ worth of contractors to build homes so just by injecting that much money your house prices will increase, making it hard for everyone else to build their own home. To get 20B$ in actual mon

This is just another piece written by someone who does not understand how income tax works and is unable to appreciate that this problem is actually complicated. If Jeff Bezos net worth increases by 1 billion over a year, he hasn't rea

Yes! I tinker a lot (3D printing, home automation, drones, etc...) and AliExpress is such an amazing place to buy components for 10% of the price I'd see in hobby shops or Amazon.

I might be old fashioned, but if your contribution to a product is so little that you just take it from a factory in China, stamp your company's name and hand it to an Amazon warehouse, giving yourself a healthy cut in the process, the

Do we have any evidence of this? Walmart still sells non-great value products (started in 1993!) while I get why copying a niche product might cause the original manufacturer to die out and if there are examples of this I am more than willi

Spot instances are the equivalent of stopping an instance while it's running. You get a signal (30 seconds prior for Google, 2 mins for AWS) and you are free to try and handoff the work to a different machine in your cluster . Basicall

The fact that the administration didn't choose to sue them to oblivion is refreshing. I hope we'll see a trend in the future of educator being smart enough to admit that they made a mistake and to encourage the students to develop

I'd go one step further and say that we all believe in all sorts of stupid things. It's just that we are unaware of our own misconceptions because they aren't often disproven. Democracy works when the population is generally

Pretty sure that he was implying that if you already have a GPU then you should mine during the winter instead of using conventional heating. That's how I read it at least.

Oh to be clear I don't think your experience was terrible only because of the script. It's not like they tell you to be cold and unpleasant so I'd put some fault on your interviewer as well.

Signed my contract a few months ago and I am indeed 5/15/40/40 but the first two years I get a cash "bonus" that basically matches 40% of my RSU.

For what it's worth, the Amazon interview experience is modelled that way for fairness. We are pretty much told that we can't deviate too much from the script because by doing so we might advantage a candidate over another. There

Hard disagree, this article feels like it's trying to add a deeper meaning to what is ultimately a good but not that memorable Netflix series. Not that I have any proof to offer (to be fair the article is one big conjecture too) but pe
