My uninformed guess is that those are chips where one of the 8 cores failed in testing, but allowing them to be used in low-end machines means they won't be scrapped completely. Seems incredibly unlikely that they produced a distinct

That's an interesting angle in the "is Bitcoin really a currency or is it just property?" argument. What would happen if the US government seized a billion dollars worth of foreign cash? Would that get auctioned off too? Se

It's possible that his family recognized him and just hasn't bothered to say anything publicly. Maybe he burned bridges in his previous life and folks would rather let it go than deal with interviews, etc.

I think the outrage around the Sacklers and the money they kept from sales of opioids is justified. That said, I think you're arguing that if Purdue Pharma were to continue pushing opioids and the Sacklers continued to profit handsomel

If the food doesn't travel well, maybe don't offer it for take-out? I'm just as likely to ding a restaurant with a bad review if I pick up food and don't like it as if GrubHub delivers it and I don't like it.

I'd be ok with it as long as the delivery platform makes it clear that you can order food but the restaurant isn't a participant in the platform, so the experience may not be optimized. I was recently lamenting that I haven't

I know there's been a lot of criticism of the details of the settlement, but Purdue Pharma was sued out of existence by the DOJ last week.

On the other hand Apple might happily accept those payments for now, but realize that they won't keep coming forever. It's quite possible that DOJ antitrust action would prevent Google from paying to be a preferred search engine i

I think I visited Wisconsin once on a day trip when I had some family in neighboring Illinois back in the 90's. I definitely don't know a ton about the state. Again, I certainly don't know which way Wisconsin will end up vo

I don't pretend to know whether Trump will win Wisconsin or not. I did recently read the NYT piece entitled The Relentless Shrinking of Trump’s Base [0], which at least seems somewhat data driven. Obviously, the characterization of &

You know what they say, armies go to battle equipped for the last war that they fought. We all take our lessons learned, and recent ones seem to dominate. So yeah, a lot of people seem convinced that since the pre-election polling showed T

I thought 538 gave Trump a 25% chance to win in 2016? Sure, he wasn't the favorite, but that's like the probability of a typical batter getting a hit in baseball. It isn't what happens in most at-bats, but it shouldn't

The idea of the Fit being displaced by crossovers/SUVs still holds true though. >> Production of the current-generation Fit in Mexico will end, and Honda will ramp up production of the related HR-V crossover as a result. ( https:

Timezones are funny because you still get a wide variance of working hours within them. I worked on a project a while back with an early bird (~6am-2pm) and a night owl (~noon-8pm) who had to coordinate a lot of changes. I (half-)joked th

Yeah, I wouldn't do any of the things I listed either. The potential punishment way outweighs the potential gains. But some people just can't resist trying to "beat the system" or "stick it to The Man" or wha

I think we'll see a lot of people try to game it: * Not updating their address with their company after moving to a new, lower-cost location * Using the address of family or friends in a higher-cost area * Renting a PO Box or cheap roo

I don't think it was that clear-cut. Having had experience with low quality home-grown software, Hayden was a proponent of buying rather than building. Rather than struggle to hire good developers on government salaries, he took adva

I don't know how Stripe's offices are arranged (what sort of work is done where), but it seems strange to me that the bonus to relocate is a fixed amount but the adjustment to salary is a percentage. I've got to think well-pa
