The question is can Intel find a way to be more AMD than Global Foundries? Or can it just find its fabrication mojo again? It almost seems like take a conspiracy or sabotage for Intel to fumble such a large lead in process. But all it takes

Nice to see that Apple isn't so big that it doesn't think it has to listen to reasonable/rational public feedback that it is making poor decisions. Now, if they could empower lower levels to make these decisions before the is

You quote me yourself saying ‘some paths’- I was deliberately excluding H1B and stating so.

Some paths are quota based by country of origin, so getting a green card is exponentially harder for a Chinese or Indian citizen than an Aussie, for instance.

Maybe also part of the success of Rails? Similarly an easy to engineer veneer atop a database.

So a sci-fi arcology, but along a line? It would be an interesting thing to give a try- mix it with some hyperloops to give it an even more modern sheen.

I think a middle ground is observable in where retailers choose to focus- Walmart is targeting 'price first' customers, Costco is targeting 'quality with value' customers, Whole Foods is (or at least was, pre-acquisition

The difference is if you can get enough distance between your expenses and your income, you can completely escape the rat race in a significantly earlier timeframe. For many outside of the ultra high cost of living zones, 200k is about th

Good tips. I'm lucky enough to have a great room available for an office. I curtained the doorway off, to remind the rest of the family (and myself) that when it is closed, I'm at work. Put a standing desk in, to help maintain my

But making that 'patsy' the legal owner also increases the actual owner's risk profile. The Patsy has greater control and can redirect the money and is the legal 'owner' of the assets. That forces the non-legal owne

The title is truer than the article. The M1 will kill Hackintoshes- but only because one of the main drivers was the superior price/performance, which doesn't really seem to be an issue going forward- the M1 will provide equal or

Looked, since we just did insurance elections- my semi-monthly cost is $580 and the company's is $735 for my family HSA plan. $280 of that is the cash contribution to the HSA, which will get spent, since all costs except checkups g

I've lived in multiple states in cities that were at the top or near the top for annual population growth over multiple years- and it was fine. Where I am now is #1 [0] and while property values are going up, there is plenty of housing

So you're making my point for me? Even the most vertically integrated manufacturer, who tries to avoid Chinese dependencies for strategic reasons, can't avoid it.

So, switch to an actual Chinese phone then? About the only 'safe' phone would be a Samsung phone, but the likelihood that some parts are still sourced from un-vetted Chinese parts supplier is high. Apple is far from perfect, but t

Yep. Sotomayor will almost never vote with the conservative 'block' on non-unanimous decisions. Gorsuch, on the other hand, will hold with a death grip to what he believes the intent of the writer of the law/Constitution was,

Religious freedom (of either type) isn'† relevant in any way to Citizen United as far as I'm aware- can you clarify the nature of your objection?

Why in the world wouldn't they offer it everywhere at whatever their max terminal per square mile is?

The previous post made me want to go digging and ended up finding this gem[0]. Looks like you're both kind of right- Stanford wrote the code for their first routers to run off on top of DEC/TOPS machines, and then the code was lif

So, middle-income Americans are just like the average human being, just luckier in having a few more bucks in their paycheck?

It is the chip causing the runaway thermals. Yes Apple could have gone crazy with fans or water cooling, but just like the PowerPC to Intel Core transition, the execution performance per watt is what this is about. You can tell even more so

No more a tradeoff than something like AVX-512 though right? Or the custom instructions Intel will add for large customers like Facebook?

They've been sustaining it for many years already, that's how they've gotten to the point of being able to passing up the incumbents. They didn't just start on this path this year, its the culmination of a long play stra

The problem, of course, is that you can replicate that level of safety, if it matters to you, anywhere, by locking yourself in your house. Since the US isn't an island, anytime SF loosens up, CV will immediately spike anyway, so no rea

That only works as long as the CA trusted by the user's computer is controlled by the box trying to do this.

Makes sense- desktops are stranded at work now generally. I'm one of the few lucky ones at mine to be able to grab mine and take it back home- most everyone else w/a desktop is using VDI or moved to a laptop.

I was trying to say 'close to a recent gen discrete CPU' not 'close (in performance) to a current gen CPU.' 1050 is just one generation removed from most current discrete GPUs, I don't believe the 3000 series is out
