WTH - why would they use a shitty plastic box to hold them? Drop the box, dice fall out, lose access to all your secrets?

so your trash and recycling and water would be 100% municipal if the government didn't favor major ISPs? I suggest you dig a little deeper and find out where these services actually come from in your community.

Even so - I'm reminded of the post the other day about the NYC street view photos from the 1940s [0] So little has changed in 80 years. Even given centuries of ice melt - how much cultural heritage do we lose with a 10m rise in sea lev

Well, yes, but actually not quite... It's an infrastructure game. If I need to build new fiber/cable/whatever to X homes to get N% * X new subscribers, then those costs & profits have to amortize out to at least 0. And mo

that's half the point though - the pandemic means we're all locked away as individuals, roommates, or family units, with few exceptions. I'd love to go jam with my band, but we're all in lockdown mode. I'd love to g

Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal offer more than transactions though; they have "buyer protection", "seller protection", etc. In theory, all you need is institutional trust and KYC, but as soon as you hit a situation like, &

i disagree - to me, "respect the competition" means don't grow complacent. ebay, for example, doesn't respect the competition (and has grown correspondingly complacent), and it's why sites like reverb are popping up

Students spend their entire K-12+ careers writing crap that no one reads. Why are we surprised when it should continue beyond that?

The demand is already booked at the fabs. This is an extra 50-100k on top of that. Each chiplet (core complex die) on the AMD Epyc is 74 mm² plus the I/O die, which is built on a 12nm process is 125 mm². [0] There is roughly 70k mm² of

They're a company that makes a lot of decisions from the viewpoint of participants in a high-trust society like Japan. Many times, those viewpoints don't translate well to other markets.

because the battery life requirements for recording continuous footage for a post-capture shutter button are pretty damn high, especially if you want the footage to look good. i agree though, it's a killer feature for sure.

you can issue two commands simultaneously. yes, the data transfer latency takes twice as long in theory, due to the bus size halving, but with increased clock speeds its not really an issue.

the analogy is "an environmental condition that significantly modifies 'natural' behavior". The only essentialist argument is that there was a 'natural' to begin with, which in this case ought to be obvious. Ou

Why don't FCC/FEC rules that apply to television election ads apply to Facebook ads? Or if they do, then what's the difference?

Yup - and this year's top CPUs have almost 10x the performance per watt of CPUs from even 2-3 years ago [0] Raw computation is only half the story. The other half is: what the hell do we do with all these extra transistors? [1] 0 - ht

yeah - if you place two market orders with two different brokers, you will get two different results. so what? use a limit order. with all the electronic routing that markets have nowadays, I would be surprised if retail brokerages differed

then every keystroke would be a spark, no? I've often wondered if "spark" is only considered in the electromechanical sense. Driving a tesla might be ok, since it uses brushless motors that are electronically commutated and h

The biggest reason for this is people not using headsets. If someone is just using their laptop speakers and mic, Meet will prioritize the mic if they're talking and will duck any audio that comes through the speakers.

you literally need 2 5.1k resistors attached to your USB-C connector to get 5V@3A out of any PD compliant charger. And yet, even the Raspberry Pi foundation messed this up when they designed the first revision of Raspberry Pi 4. It's e
