Alternatively, Microsoft could acquire the x86 business from Intel and then invest in Intel as a dedicated foundry. Although, that raises the question of whether MS would be better off staying married to x86 long-term or moving in the direc

Agreed, that is an important distinction. As written, the button might discourage users from ever clicking it except in the most extreme cases or until after observing a pattern over time. Which isn't to say that Google's actions

But, I am definitely not returning to "normal" pre Covid behavior. What would this look like, in practice? Of course on a macro scale we'll see changes like increasing adoption and acceptance of remote work/meetings, b

Yeah, seems like a bad idea without significant R&D into formulating a plant-based meat substitute suitable for a particular animal's diet. What I'm potentially more interested in is whether cultured meat will be appropriate t

I haven't worked with a recruiter, so this is pure speculation, but it seems to me that a recruiter's greatest incentive would be to close any deal at all as quickly as possible, because they're competing against the altern

Fair enough, and I strongly agree with the general point about the need for a solid cross-platform framework either way. I don't see why you couldn't write your entire business logic, state management, etc. in C or Rust and trea

I'm not commenting on any other platforms, but I maintain a few C/WebAssembly libraries and they work exactly as expected without being unreasonably large. C-in-JS has been viable for a number of years now.

I'm aware of things like the LLVM based C to JS compilers, but they're not really viable for anything non-trivial. emscripten/WebAssembly is pretty viable.

Rather than nationalize Intuit, if we take for granted that TurboTax is indeed too complicated a product to efficiently replicate, couldn't the government simply strike a deal to acquire the TurboTax IP? From there, we'd just shut

I know nothing about the F-35, but it sounds like it's basically the Servo of aircraft? As in, it hasn't evolved into a complete product that can wholesale replace its predecessors, but its innovations will be incorporated into th

I haven't R'd TFA, but if I ever wanted to cancel my NYT subscription I'd just close the associated Privacy.com card. It really makes daily life a lot easier.

No. Olive oil is great, but don't put it in your deep fryer. I like to use ghee, personally.

We had a similar initial thought, but I was concerned about something like morse code being both too slow and vulnerable to "timing attacks" (professor noticing that the amount of time it takes to recite any digit is directly corr

That's a fun idea. Sounds a bit like the chuunin exams. From experience, just memorizing the numbers would be way easier (I did 250 in middle school), but here's my idea: * Wear pants * Wire up 10 coin-button-type vibrating motors

Is there any reason the Mac Pro couldn't or shouldn't combine an SoC with upgradable components? So you get a certain baseline level of specs, but also have the opportunity to tack on a beefier GPU (which may or may not use UMA),

That's a fair take. Before this year, most of us might have said 9/11 was the defining moment of the start of this century. I'm not going to try to predict what history will look like 80 years from now, or whether 9/11 o

There's nothing grammatically wrong with that. It's a standard subjunctive clause.

That's pretty interesting. Is it due to the taste, i.e. can it be replicated with any non-caloric or low-calorie sweetener, or is it an effect specific to xylitol (or sugar alcohols in general)?
