What use is the legal right to speech if your neighbors will bash your head in for it? Freedom of speech is not just the right, but also the idea of a society that tolerates it. This is what bothers me: Every time an internet corporation de

Who exactly were the establishment Republican candidates supposed to appeal to? Trump didn't attract enthusiastic supporters across party lines because they were apathetic jokesters. He may sound insane to you, but to a very large &q

Not really a problem. NVIDIA sells cards based around 32-bit (and now increasingly, 16-bit) ALUs for desktop usage, while offering more expensive ones with more 64-bit-focused ALUs for workstations and compute. Compute is important enough t
