This is the type of "research" Big Pharma often does that needs all of those billions of dollars and 4,000% price increases of life-saving drugs, according to some.

They don't even have a CEO now. But the troubles started years before. They got fat, lazy, and greedy, basically. And then they started messing up the technical stuff, too, as we're seeing now with their 10nm node.

They also "predicted" Intel's delays and ultimate failure with Broadwell (basically a 6-month product), too.

We're still nowhere close to Intel "declining too far". AMD used to be quite popular in the Athlon era, especially when Intel screwed up big time with Pentium 4 and Itanium. But, as we know, Intel recovered, then used anti-co

In other countries, speeds continue to increase, even as the user base grows over the years. So this is kind of a BS argument. ISPs should be investing more into their infrastructures. Instead they use the money for buyouts and to pay sha

Intel has been doing this for ages. It may even be the primary reason why they came up with Turbo Boost. It's gotten a lot worse these days, as Turbo Boost can add another Ghz on its own to the base clock, which allows Intel to keep ba

Buying votes in Congress seems to be quite cheap. I think the average is less than $10,000 per vote. So that would buy them quite a few votes. There have been multiple stories in the past few years about this company or that company making

I had a strong gut feeling Google has one or multiple ulterior motives for doing this - motives that aren't very user-friendly (as they claim) but more Google-friendly. I thought it may be so that it can track every link you type in Ch

Both the EU and US groups have called for breaking Facebook up. More specifically, they want WhatsApp and Instagram to be separated from Facebook. Facebook should have never been allowed to buy Instagram, just like Google should have never

If there's anyone who's been trying to do that in the past few years, it's Bernie Sanders. That's where the "$15 minimum wage" idea came from. But even most Democrats aren't on board, let alone Republicans

They've already sold the division. They don't care and probably never did.

Those "features" seem minor compared to the fact that you won't even need to change the oil, and as well as many other components in an EV.

I wonder what is Google's real reason for this. I have a suspicion it may have something to do with Chrome adding tracking variables to all the URLs you visit, or something along those lines. And they don't want most people to k

The US has too many monopolies. This is bad for everyone except those monopolies, including workers, consumers, and smaller competitors. It's time for a new wave of trust busting.

Toyota kept the Prius and the RAV4 virtually unchanged for more than a decade. They were in no hurry to "kickstart the EV market." None of the carmakers were, and they still aren't: https://electrek.co/2018&

About 4x cheaper to charge/fill up, and about 3x less maintenance costs. Plus all the "nice" features of EVs like rapid acceleration, no noise, feeling super-modern/futuristic, etc.

It may be different but it doesn't mean that it's impossible to achieve. Building the EV infrastruture is relatively cheap (compared to say building a gas-powered or hydrogen infrastructure). Tesla has already built its own (not p

I'm sure the OPM hack through which they got all sorts of private blackmail-worthy info on federal employees helped.

Wouldn't that lead to vendors starting to buy off the "gold reviewers"?

Well, we already know that U2F comes "built-in" in some laptops (which I think defeats the purpose of U2F, but that's another issue). And phones makers are starting to adopt "hardware security modules" (just Pixel 2

Is there no way to provide some paper backup for U2F at least?

$50 for a U2F-only Google-branded Feitian key? What's their markup on it, 400%? It could be worth that much if they would guarantee 100% of the components and supply-chain to be secure and verified, but I doubt that's the case (es

Feinstein has almost single-handedly pushed for two renewals of FISA 702. So I wouldn't give her too much credit on that.

I wish open source projects would stop being hosted on the Microsoft-owned GitHub.
