Not buying a laptop doesn’t influence practices. What does is buying a laptop from a manufacturer who prioritizes labor conditions. No such major manufacturer exists. Which is why this isn’t going to be solved by individual choice but eithe

If they did that, they’re not going to talk about it if they couldn’t figure it out. The US government is not going to announce that they took a billion dollars of their best equipment down to Havana and still can’t figure out what’s going

Watching these guys argue is like watching mud-covered pigs argue about which one is dirtier.

Yeah, I guess I never thought about putting multiple dies in one package. How are they wired up anyways?

The interracial relationships of the Bay Area are purely a result of the numbers. If you’re in the Google employee socioeconomic class, your social environment is about 30% Indian, 20% Asian, 20% American born white, and 20% other. The chan

There is no “Pro” user story. Every “Pro” is different. Some sales dudes just need to make calls, take notes, and manage email. An iPad is plenty for that.

That will take several years. AMD could happen in months.

How are 7nm and 14nm mixed? Are they made separately and then... attached together? Isn’t a die made from a single wager “burned” with a single wavelength?

No sympathy for them but Google completely trust-fucked them and the DOJ is too incompetent to care.

The problem is that most serious computer users use a laptop docked, so it’s useless 70-90% of the time, which means the software can’t rely on it, which means it’s an afterthought in all apps.

Surprised to see Cuomo go on record with that quote given how it will be used against him when he runs for President.

Yeah, what I meant by “ever heard of Texas Instruments” was expecting that people knew more about the company than the calculators that are literally 1% of its revenue.

LOL. There are tons of educated people who move to Texas. Ever heard of Texas Instruments?

HQ2 was never going to be a true second HQ but now it’s not even going to be close. Cities just fellated Amazon for a satellite office.

You may overestimate the demand for taking the pregnancy completely outside the body. I offered to pay for a high quality surrogate for our kids, but my wife didn’t want to. She went through a brutally complicated delivery and then a more r

Not exactly. I work with some people who are huntin' fishin' rednecks from rural areas all over the country and are in the Bay Area because really, where else can they make $450K writing code that ships to 500 million people? They

What are open loop and encoder based motion control, and why is a regular Teensy etc. Insufficient for it?

It was not paid for and it was not public domain. I do try to support the main producers of this content where I can (buying BBC Blu-Rays even though I have them already downloaded), but am not super strict about it. I do pirate.

I know that I can easily guess the age of a person calling my business based on whether they can actually talk properly on the phone. Above about 35 they can all do it. Below about 25 they use the phone so little that they cannot place a pr

I downloaded 6TB of wholesome kid's content for my kids when they started to want to watch screens. Animal documentaries, Mister Rogers, Sesame Street, etc. The TV in our house can only access this content until they go to bed. When we

This isn’t enough because DRM is actually winning and lots of devices are approaching “unjailbreakable.”

A ton of places do this. Cities, shopping malls, company parking lots. Some towns are so afraid, justly or unjustly, of "undesirables," that if you drive into them with an unfamiliar car, the police will swing by and see if you ar
