Which parts of India will become too hot? I think flooding is going to be a bigger problem in the near term, especially since the state isn't really capable of dealing with heavy rain or floods.

No, but the cost per transistor can keep dropping for years after shrinkage stops. Look at a lot of other things like TVs where competition keeps driving the price down. Unless something new comes up that practically everybody wants, compet

Not saying this is a bad idea, but how will reduction in ads create more demand? If anything, demand will go down because people working in ads will lose jobs or get paid less.

Dynamic libs on the file system are awful. It's OK if the kernel wants to conserve RAM by sharing code pages that are identical, but saving hard disk space with dynamic libs is so painful.

It wasn't just the death of communism. Globalization also hurt labor unions. Capital could credibly threaten to move production to low wage countries and often did so. This greatly weakened the unions.

Libra: Not a currency board and (maybe) not a stable currency(antoniofatas.blogspot.com)

Developing countries aren't going to be too happy about this. If a large number of a country's citizens adopt this, it forces that country to lose its independence over monetary policy. Since Libra is not controlled by the local g

by deafcalculus 7y ago
The TC article says that every Libra issued is backed by USD and other currencies in reserve. So, no independent monetary policy. This looks a whole lot more like full-reserve banking than a cryptocurrency. Are they calling it a cryptocurre

by deafcalculus 7y ago
How does Libra work? It sounds more like a traditional currency, except it isn't issued by a nation, but by a bunch of companies. The peg to a basket of currencies suggests that it'll operate like a currency board regime. Do they

I've been a Firefox/Safari user for a long time now because of concerns about Google, but I don't really get what this outrage is all about. As I understand it, Chrome is moving to the Safari rules-based model? Can someone ex

They are limited to 4 cores. In the new lineup too, when G series comes out later, they'll be limited to 8 cores (one cliplet for CPU and one for GPU).

Yep. Intel iGPUs have good open source Linux drivers too. I had hoped that AMD would have some basic graphics in the IO die, but it looks like that won't happen.

Will it be possible to use 8 cores effectively given the thermal limitations of such a thin device? I wouldn't be surprised if the 6 core model gives about the same level of performance for most workloads as the 8 core one.

The graphics API isn't that big a deal anymore. It's often a pretty small part of the engine codebase. Many games, especially those built on the popular engines like Unity, support both DirectX and Vulkan (and Sony's API too)
