   Its always amazing to see web pages take 2-4 seconds of back-end processing. On a modern CPU, that's about 10 billion instructions. 10 billion instructions to send a few kilobytes of data. There's such a waste in back-end server d

   These things really should be optimized by the compiler. No reason for it not to.

   Well Microsoft is about to be fully integrated if they make their own CPUs for their PCs like Apple is about to do (and sorta like how they designed their own XBox processors)... Let's see how that plays out for them and if this anti-v

   I live in literally the most diverse area of the US, and no, people from South America and Ohio really aren't different at all. You could swap out our actual Peruvian home builders for someone in Ohio (if they wanted the job) and it wo

   Data shows the opposite of what you say. I guess that means you are arguing in bad faith?

   I'm sure we can work out a deal that'll make everyone happy. It might take some changes in our laws as well, but it can happen.

    How can they if they have to work full time to take care of their babies? Part of the problem with today's economy is that it's basically impossible for a middle-class woman to have a child and work. There needs to be a large popu

    The immediate goal of everyone in this country should be to open the borders and open trade. There is no excuse. Borders serve no useful purpose in a globalized economy. Can you imagine how terrible it would be if the states had hard borde

    Illegally crossing the border is a misdemeanor, not a felony. Besides, ethics are more important than laws.

    Yes, and you'd have health insurance.

    Every time I watch it I'm laughing my ass off. It's definitely not serious, or even satirical. Most sci-fi has the problem of trying to model a situation with limited social scope. The fact that they never turn out true is because

    I think this would be a good variable to analyze. A lot of third-world countries didn't have a large automobile infrastructure, and so they had lower lead levels, leading to smarter people with less crime. This could be the source of &

    This is like when IBM built and sold tabulating machines to the Nazis to help the Nazis record people killed during the Holocaust. Microsoft: do you want people to eventually reference you in the future in this way?

    NFL2K was easily the best football game. The controls were so much better than Madden. Something about Sega games that made them so easy to get into. I could never get into Madden. On the Dreamcast where it launched, you could pick plays o

    My understanding is that they could measure ~95% of what they wanted, but the remaining 5% needed for full accuracy certification was out of reach with the limited tests they were performing. And that this was the difference between their t

    Nothing wrong with Geekbench. It's a great way to measure actual CPU performance, since it's based on common software that's used across systems. Yes, a 3 watt CPU is better than a 40 watt CPU.

    Love my iPad Pro. Only wish it had an actual usable IDE for Django web development, including a local Postgres database & H2O web server with uWSGI. If it had that then I could get rid of my MacBook Pro. BTW get the Logitech keyboard. I

    Is NFS viable at all with untrusted clients on a LAN? Seems it requires all machines on a LAN to be trusted, with proper user IDs. It's fast though.
