So far, the fines have been solidly in the "acceptable cost of doing business" category. If anything, the fines are at least an order of magnitude too small. For a sense of scale, VW North-America (~38B) is of a comparable revenu

Politics isn't some formulistic emotionless process; having access to supportive media, which in turn influence public opinion and pressure politicians, who in turn are not entirely free from bias and have agency to pick and choose whi

Of course it does - as a well known British business, it'll get the kind of attention and care from its home turf it won't elsewhere in the form of some small subsidiary. And the guy isn't exactly known for being timid or res

Well, so he claims. Is that actually true? But regardless; even if he had reason to dislike certain regulators - that makes for a really poor reason to argue to remove yourself from the equation when it comes to influence over those regul

The court apparently agreed that the standard was flawed - it scrapped the standard! The court simply held the commission did not "manifestly and gravely disregard the limits [...]" to the point where dyson deserves hundreds of mi

They don't actually need your passphrase to unlock your phone - they just need somebody with the passphrase to unlock in for them. And if there's any doubt about who that is, then having that passphrase counts as testimonial; but

Do you have any link or data to back that up? Obviously, Samsung isn't entirely open about who's paying it how much... Another large customer (that will be jumping ship to TSMC) is Nvidia, and clearly Samsung isn't supplying

Risking the future of your business for a 20% customer sounds like a tricky proposition, and moves like this have real risk for TSMC. It's hard to predict the future; and the whole point of a foundry and why TSMC has been so successful

While I agree that the CEO's pay seems unreasonable, let's not pretend it's a singular factor that's going to make a significant dent overall. The best thing people can do is simply use firefox; the longer we avoid a chr

The idea that cancel culture isn't effective isn't limited to cancel culture by conservatives; many of the cancellations decried by conservatives seem ineffective too. Still, I wouldn't have wanted to be the person on the re

Which is why many parsers support that. I'm positive you'll find one that does so in pretty much every environment.

Another anecdote of mailgun issues: we recently had an issue where a staging environment of ours started sending mails to real people. We use this staging environment to do as-much-as-possible end-to-end dry-runs of real work, and thought t

The devil is in the details - laws like that can have tons of exemptions, and likely will. If there's both a plausible alternative fuel on the horizon _and_ a plausibly problematic law, _and_ a political unwillingness to grant exemptio

IIRC DW is a german public broadcaster, so it's focus on Germany here is probably representative of their overall focus, not necessarily anything specific to the story.

Nothing like a good winter of blackouts to... energize political momentum. Even this winter, clearly still pre-EV dominance, is going to be interesting - if it's cold in europe for long, and if Russia decides to use their current pos

Could you clarify how it's meaningfully different? Because just because F1 might be able to afford a certain kind of fuel in the future doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be economically relevant. If somehow alternative

Reading those threads makes those decisions seem pretty reasonable to me; this doesn't look like a petty vendetta at all. And while chris sounded optimisitic about including LLVM, he didn't offer to; he offered the glue code to a

I sure hope apple has a better reason for shipping unnecessarily impractical software than some pet peeve by a now-deceased CEO. That would be kind of insane.

Apple refuses to ship gpl3 software for seemingly no sane reason (judging by the fact other commercial software vendors including e.g. windows don't have this issue) probably explains the command line issues; apples' tools are an

There are multiple ways to satisfy the requirements, but that's hardly Kafkaesque. It's simply convenient for the ad business to pretend the rules are incomprehensible, because they'd really rather not understand them. I&#x27

I mean, it's not the same thing as an entirely unrestricted license, but then again, neither are open source licenses entirely unrestricted. I understand that people want to look at this like a kind of slippery slope (if you can define

While I agree wholeheartedly, since the overly-clever invention of copyright that ship has kind of sailed. The vast majority of IP is owner controlled, because a few people hundreds of years ago thought it would be cheaper to just throw th

Well, for one, it's a scarily huge scam by now... if it's a scam. It's worth almost 50% of apple or MS at this point, and growing much more quickly than either the past year - if it were to crash, that's going to reverbe

They also regularly reiterate that the index is meant partially in jest, and that you shouldn't expect it to generalize in any kind of highly accurate way. Also, the leap from forex to inflation is a big one; AFAIK they haven't ar

Right, but you're specifically referring to energy price inflation - and a quick bit of googling find widespread (and mostly worldwide) agreement that energy prices are spiking faster than other prices. But energy, while crucially i

All of these suggestions are a right step. The fundamental issue is that the current system is designed to issue when in doubt; without considering the cost to society from inhibiting progress by pointlessly throwing everything through the

The claim I've heard is that intel 7 (previously 10nm) is approximately as good as tsmc's 7nm (but which 7nm?). It sounds like most reviewers seem willing to accept that it's at least a good enough match that you're unl

I still think it's not clear how relevant the whole x86 story is. The closest comparison I can find is the apple A13 bionic vs. the amd 5850u pro - both on TSMC's N7p process I believe (but I'm no expert in all the various f

Given the lack of unified memory and the inferior process node, the expectation is that this would be much less power efficient (and the article points this out too).
