You are both right and wrong. New financial tech takes awhile to become popular enough to become dangerous. So while CDOs were invented in the late 80s, it wasn't until 2000 or so that they started to become a craze that lead to danger

I have slow Macs that I share with family. I've seen similar behavior when switching users. The full-screen password entry login comes up, but focus is still on regular apps.

Your question is spot on when you ask if the implications are well understood. History is littered with new financial technologies whose implications were not well-understood which immediately resulted in a bubble. The invention of stocks (

It might be legal. It might not. The problem is this needs to be challenged in court. Until the Supremes rule on this, it's all speculation. That said, I've never even heard a theory stated in support of why it might be lawful.

You are conflating class, as in a stratified privilege hierarchy within a society, with the more usual use "a group of items with a thing in common." For example, in a class-action lawsuit, the "class" means "people

Yeah. The question is WHY is it not protected speech.

Seems like they can still ask "what Salary are you expecting?" Then you can quote them a higher salary. Or if your salary has previously suffered due to discrimination, you can quote a slightly higher salary than you should ha

Is this Constitutional? People with a criminal history are not, as far as I understand, a protected class. So it's not clear to me why the government can forbid speech about prior convictions. Second, as an at-will state, these protect

Pointing out the obvious in a minimum of words is not lazy. Expecting people to stop pointing out the obvious is optimistic at best.

I wonder how many tulips you can buy with a bitcoin?

That's incorrect. The price of creating a thing does not determine its value. If there is no demand, then it is worth nothing no matter how hard it is to create. To be crude, human poop takes effort to create, but the worth of it as a

If you Read The Fine Article, it says that people disable UEFI for Linux. And, like you, they point out that secure boot can be disabled instead. I pointed out that they list zero additional reasons people give for disabling UEFI, so it is

There sure was a lot of "people use legacy for specific reasons" in there, but they don't mention what those reasons might be -- except for Linux support. Kinda hard to fix the "last mile" when you don't know a

Visual Studio is fine with auto. Are you using a plugin like Visual Assist? It's a great plugin, but it does have issues where it behaves as you describe.
525.
by cjensen 9y ago
That was an entirely different auto. In C89, auto just "variable on the stack". It still had a type. The new auto is just borrowing the keyword since it (a) makes sense and (b) is already a reserved word.

There was a lot wrong with Jackson's versions where he thought he knew better than Tolkien (missing half the endings, representing Sauron as a literal flaming eye in a tower, "fixing" Arwen badly because Tolkien couldn&#x27

It's only been two months since the last Intel driver was released in Windows Update on Win7. The GPU is supported just fine thanks. Also, we build systems which run our application suite controlled by a custom control panel, and we ha

That's not how bus width works :-). Bus width is the number of physical wires in a bus. PCIe 3 is 128b/130b, and it would be wildly inaccurate to refer to an x16 as a "2048-bit bus."

Skylake is supported, as mentioned in the article you linked to. Kaby Lake's GPU is not a change from Skylake, so I expect the same problems, just in Win10 instead of 7.

Disk Maker X [1] is a GUI which has been around a long time and does this. That said, it's closed source which could make a person justifiably twitchy when manipulating the installer. [1] http://diskmakerx.com

Worth noting: Skylake and Kaby Lake have been horror shows for Intel Integrated GPUs driver crashes. To add to this, some paths (like DXVA) are actually slower than Haswell. I wonder how much of this is a fix for GPU reliability rather than

In other words, his business isn't working out very well and he has a lot of inventory risk. So he's "pivoting" to self-help.

It's very weird that after waiting 7 years since 4.0, they plan on releasing 5.0 with twice the speed just 2 years later. Is that wild optimism?
535.
by cjensen 9y ago
What do you mean by "64-bit bus width"? The most lanes you can get in PCIe is 16.

Reading that, at first it's just "oh that doesn't sound good" and then later it's "oh that's bad", then "omg that's horrifying". All in very polite language. So the ship was not properl

Downvote may have been that your comment concerns itself with consumer SSDs, but the topic link is to a super-high end SSD for specific server applications. And yeah, that's some terrible sexism and shouldn't be tolerated.

That's alarming, but it needs followup. There have been rather obvious changes in Europe since the end of Iron Curtain. Would be nice to see similar data for other continents.

If you go with optimistic assumptions, and you seldom say "no" to feature requests, your project will go badly. They could have said "no" or "later as money allows" to a rooftop park, or to a beautiful facade,
