Not that big: impact: https://www.pcgamer.com/cyberpunk-2077-amd-rx-6800-xt-vs-nvi... So, in lower resolutions/level of details AMD wins. In 4k Ultra NVidia leads by 4/5 fps. But you for 4k you probably want 6900X

If 40% to 60% of population gets fined then that means the law is stupid* and should be abolished. Backlash on law enforcement is totaly understandable. *"stupid" is relative term. Laws are made for particular society, if almost a

That's not how it works. First: US make a lot of promises to a lot of countries. If they are not willing to go to war over Taiwan, that makes most of those promises (like NATO pact) basically worthless. So US has to defend Taiwan. Seco

Another misconception that has to die is that governments can get away with printing money indefinitely. The concept itself is not new: Roman Empire also did the same, shortly before its fall. Soviet block countries did that before 1989. Ve

That isn't as big problem as you paint it. Yes, Trump was particularily "lucky" (for the lack of the better word) that during his single term in the office 3 Supreme Justices died, so he could appoint replacements. But Obama,

Also, please keep in mind that bail is not punishment, it's just means of ensuring that the defendant will attend their trial. That's why it's refundable at the trial's end. Good bail should be low enough that defendant

"Value created by you" is not necessarily dependent on your skills alone. You might be the best Java programmer in the world, but if you get hired to write some boring CRM system for internal use in a bank, then the value you crea

Yes, but you have to live with the consequences of your life choices. If you just "work to live", then you'll be just an average employee, with average salary. High salaries and other perks are for high performers.

Most people in the Polish software industry works on B2B contracts, for 30-50% better pay. And we typically don't need employment protection, since there's a line of employers eager to hire us. "Normal employment contracts&qu

Access control is not the same as logging - the first time an application tries to access the API the OS checks permissions, asks user to approve/deny, and then stores the user's choice. No need to log the actual API calls at all,

Yes, formally the win was fair, on the surface, but it wouldn't happen without some preparations. The deal made with communists in 1989 made sure that: 1. Communist party members never answered for their crimes, and were free to contin

Truth is, only 4 years after supposed fall of communism in Poland communists went back to power by winning democratic parlimentary elections in 1993. Two years later they also won presidential election.
