Sounds like a nightmare. One key aspect is also the weather. Flying will only be possible under perfect weather conditions for both take off and landing.

Consumers should be prepared to “lose all their money” if they invest in products that promise high returns from cryptoassets such as bitcoin, the City watchdog has warned. The HN title is misleading, it is more a warning against all the

One of my ex-GF had this as well, she's a pianist (that's why)and for her it got away. So I guess there is hope.

Based on my experience, If you are on the front page of HN (top 20) you will get around 1 to 5k visitors in total. I think every site should be able to handle it. Reddit brings you less traffic than that. Twitter, Facebook and some Chinese

My advise: try to open a Adsense and Adword account for the website and run some ads. If there is something wrong with your site it will be rejected and they usually provide the reason.

Reminds me of former Interpol chief Meng Hongwei. He also disappeared for weeks with every one looking for him. Turned out he was in a Chinese prison...

With Google ads you can select the countries where you want the ads to run in. If you go worldwide and chose to maximize clicks, Google Ads will mainly run them in India and other emerging countries because it's much cheaper to get cli

Interestingly mobile ads are typically cheaper to buy than desktop ones.

I think Uber is to blame here, reading the story it is obvious that they bought ads from very shady sources/networks, probably they went for the cheapest CPC. You get what you pay for.

I've read about rumors stating they could already launch their apple car in September 2021. I wouldn't be surprised if this happens. Apple has always been very secretive and the iPhone came as a surprise to many. If they rely on a

My point here is not to deny the achievement of creating your own chip design, but rather demystify how the M1 achieves its performance, and I believe it has mainly to do with TSMC's 5nm technology and the huge number of transistors. I

You are right, there different ways to measure transistors, but if I recall it correctly this should not account for more than 20 or 30% difference.

Apple's M1 basically uses the architecture used for iPhone/iPad chips. Now I don't deny that the M1 is an impressive chip. But the question is would it be as good as the i9 if it would be a 14nm chip with only half of its 16b
382.
by janmo 6y ago
Sure, the M1 chip is very good, the question here is what made the M1 perform better than a i9 and I would argue it is because of the 5nm technology. If the M1 had only 8b transistors and was using 14nm technology I really doubt that it wou
383.
by janmo 6y ago
I made the following thought experiment. If we downscale the M1 to a 8b transistor chip and make it use 14nm technology, would it still be faster than an i9 chip? I don't think so.
384.
by janmo 6y ago
I really doubt the M1 would perform nearly as good if it was a 14nm chip with 8b transistors.
385.
by janmo 6y ago
It has nothing to do with their architecture. Here are the facts: The M1 is a 5nm chip, while the i9 is a 14nm chip! The M1 has about 16b transistor, the i9 has only about half of that amount. No surprise the M1 is faster. Most credit shoul

Many people overstate Apple's achievement, in reality most credit should go to TSMC the company that manufactures the M1 chip. The M1 is a 5nm chip, while the i9 is a 14nm chip! The M1 has about 16b transistor, the i9 has only about ha

If the liquid is kept in the shadow it will be at a temperature of zero kelvin (-273 °C). I guess that at this temperature mercury won't evaporate.
