Nand flash is pretty dense, but way too slow. Sram is fast but not at all dense, needing 6 transistors per bit. For reference: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor_count lists all the largest cpu as of 2019 amd&

Sure, that makes sense! Having a fast and slow cycle isn't a bad idea. The problem is rather that the slow cycle has too much power, and additionally uses a different electoral system from the fast cycle, so it's not just an extr

Let's be clear this is all an extreme hypothetical, right? And there are all kind of reasons not to do this; to be sure - I don't want to claim it's somehow a good idea to do this; just that in the context of discussion a

I don't think anybody reasonably believed president Trump would have actually not relinquished power if he formally lost the election. What he was accused of however, is trying to play nasty with votes, and trying to undermine t

... and senate above all; definitely. In fact, I'd argue it you had to reelect any one seat of power in the event of a failed impeachment, it should be the senate above the president or house. I mean, it's never going to happen

Like many things in a presidency; this is clearly partially - probably largely - guided by external developments. Sure, the president gets more say that anybody else, but I'm skeptical you can ascribe too much blame (or glory) to the

Even here, if they reaaaaalllly cared (and had good reasons to, other than "we want to lock in customers"), they probably could take the feature away - they'd just need to play the CYA game much better, and be willing to ri

Also, the article makes the weird jump from the fact that it's possible a VPN provider might log you, and possible a government or similarly powerful entity might request those logs, and possible that they might then get them - t

Might as well simply block IE users outright at this point; it's just not worth the risk (and classic edge is close). It's probably better user experience to be upfront about issues than pretend you actually test and support all

Supermarkets aren't nearly as monopolistic as app stores. A supermarket "user" is free not just in theory but also in practice to use competing stores (and many people really do). Not just that: in most places, there are c

That's not my experience. Plain old SIMD code ages fairly well - but if you port to a new arch, you will need to look at it again. This isn't a question of precise instruction timing, it's a question of compilers being prett

No way; not at all. First of all: there's lots of software that's not the OS. The OS is the easy bit: everything else: grindy, grindy horrorstory. A lot of that code will be third-party. And if you think, "hey, we'll

Wow, but that cost - it's not a small thing to transition ISA, and don't forget that this transition is one of the simpler ones (more registers, fairly few devices). The risks of transitioning everything away from arm would be

Consent must specifically be freely given; it's not a valid basis if it's "forced opt in" in a TOS. I'm not sure if there's any jurisprudence here (on exactly what freely given means). Even if consent with a

I don't believe there is such a no objection rule - or perhaps I'm looking at it from a different angle - can you be more specific? Products and services aren't the issue; it's how you use+process users' data. Many

I can't quite parse your sentence (typo?) but I think you mean to ask whether it's possible that LinkedIn shared the PII when the user used their LinkedIn account to login to Scribd? Doing so would in any case (I assume) violate t

The current stock market in any case is a surprisingly short-term focused beast; which surprising because that's superficially at odds with the fact that the majority of investments are long-term. Something's off there, for sure.

The article clearly implies that some or several of involved parties are ripping off taxpayers when instead the actual costs per ventilator are quite low, and not only that, the deal they're referring to wasn't even due now. That

If anything, being constantly connected is a risk factor for batteries, not a boon. If your laptop is constantly connected (mine usually aren't anyhow!), your battery will likely degrade faster due to the interacting effects of higher

That's too simplistic; you can't pin the blame on a singular effect like that nor choose to disregard other factors to conveniently support some conclusion. It is incidentally clear that low density zoning requirements are not t

Fuel taxes don't cover pollution related costs; they certainly don't additionally also cover road costs and indirect costs to the neighborhood. Infrastructure is funded as an investment for similarly indirect gains. Comparing phys

You're looking at those memories wearing rose-tinted glasses. The amount of battery degradation was not clear (to this day AFAIK apple has not admitted by how much it typically decayed), but it was enough to be noticeable quickly - in

That excuse by apple (it was so old!) is nonsense; Li-ion batteries should not degrade nearly as quickly as they did during the whole apple-battery saga (less than a year to less than half capacity sometimes!) Clearly apple had a design d

Well, if you assume that an Apple Store cares very little for it's experts, then the story makes sense. Which isn't implausible, right?

If your company is structured such that there's no recourse in the event of squabble between a manager and his reports, then your company is bad. If indeed this was just a personal issue with the manager: that's not exactly a rin

That is, however, exactly what you're doing. We can see if apple responds, but until then, I'm assuming he's telling the truth.
