It does, thanks. So what would be a simple way to find out if Amazon, Tesla etc are getting capital. Would it be digging through their quarterly prospectus?

Cython is wasteful with lots of memory allocations, which are expensive in embedded systems. Also GC is not a good fit for real time. Something like micro python is far more suited for embedded systems Video: https://m.youtube.com

Credit cards have ridiculous interest rates (like 20%+ min.). It's far better to take out a loan and pay your credit dues since the loan will be at a far better rate (at least half). Why would any sane person do this (pay min. balance)

AMD screwed up when they decided to make something similar to the P4 arch (high clock speed, long pipeline) after they spent the previous 5-7 years beating it using high IPC, lower clock speed cores. I still don't get why they did this

Am I missing something? According to this (Link: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/31/technology/uber-limits-lo... ) Uber has $7.2B sitting in the bank, with losses reducing ($708M) in the first 3 months of

I believe Lisa Su's email is lisa.su at amds website. You should try writing her an email. She's from an academic background and may be willing to do something. Unlikely to work, but if you never ask the answer is always no.

One difference this time around is that AMD can make a good business just selling to Apple(servers), Facebook, AWS, GCP and Azure. As long as they hit their use cases they can create a good, sustainable revenue base. They also have a semi-c

Yes, but it's filled at regular price (I bought SNAP at $24), it's just that you put in the trade previous day (in the case of SNAP). It's more of a convenience feature, you won't get the stock at the pre-IPO value ($17

Thanks for the info, I think my next bank account is going to be with Charles Schwab ( I was waffling between Ally and Charles Schwab, but this is a useful feature for me and a good step up from Robinhood).

I think this article is mistaken. People are mining Ethereum causing GPU prices to spike 2-3x. Eth is designed to use a lot of memory so GPU mining is always viable. GPU prices: https://camelcamelcamel.com/search?sq=geforce+

Their comment section since last year has devolved into Reddit style one-liners (especially political articles). The articles are really average these days. The one I'm really worried about is Anandtech, the articles are still excellen
