Margin accounts. You buy the stock for $200 but of the $200, $100 is money that you've borrowed. Because the stock is now at $350 your assets cover the margin easily. but if the suddenly becomes liquid and gaps down to $2, you owe $100

ah, that would do it, I was trying to figure out what the issue would be with it. Is it possible that they just don't sell 4:3 screens very much anymore? I can't imagine why. (Google tells me this is the case, 4:3 is the old stand

So, I looked on the AMD shop online and it looks like the MSI Bravo 15 satisfies all of these requirements, it is surprising that there was only one laptop in the AMD store that seems to satisfy this. I'm in the USA, maybe that makes

Sure, internally you will store it in something less ambiguous... but you still have to display the correct time & timezone and be able to set the time correctly (and note when the clock has been set). Time is generally set by humans ac

Anything safety critical with strict reporting requirements (clock must be correct so logs are accurate). Honestly, most things that need to be air-gapped also need to have correct clocks. Most other things also need to have correct clocks

ah, I guess I'm the only one who makes things that are air-gapped and don't take updates on the regular. It's hard being in my own little bubble.

I'm against this because it will require software changes.

I'm definitely not knowledgeable enough in this area (old video game implementations), I was referring to the FPU on the 486 (386 didn't have one), it seemed to me that it might be a useful thing. Interesting it is all fixed point

That would be interesting, I'd guess the floating point(and being twice as fast) were what really made a big difference. It is also interesting to think that smart refrigerators and automobiles end up with significantly more capable pr

most likely, you could run doom on a 386 in the 90s (this seems to surpass that).

Of the ways for a species to go extinct few of them have to do with aging. So on an individual level, yes it would be a strong selector, but on a species level, it could be neutral or negative. So agelessness isn’t a 100% win by any means.

It's not clear the other founder actually owns any more than TCF does. What makes you think TCF can be so easily pushed out or that the other founder has significantly more leverage? It isn't clear to me that they have different d

It sounds like you own 40% of something fairly valuable and now that it's 11 months into your contract other founder who needed your help is getting greedy and trying to push you out before you are owed anything. You said it yourself,

My question is how someone can justify paying $550 dollars for headphones from Apple. I can get mid-range studio quality headphones for that price, from a company that is actually focused on producing the best headphones. Apple has a huge R

that is a really interesting tidbit of unix lore.

by ohyes 6y ago
This is clearly because 1970 is the Unix epoch when this version of the simulation began. It took about a year for things to get sufficiently out of whack so that stuff started to diverge in a noticeable way. I hope our implementors are pro

you need to run your ship on iron fuel as well. I guess that is the test though, can it ship itself?

I would contest the notion that this is simply marketplace efficiency. We’ve burned through millions of years worth of stored solar energy in the last 100 years, and not yet paid the full price for that. That’s essentially a massive injecti

Kinda depressing that marketplace efficiency is more compelling than moral/ethical good, but I guess it is a sign of the times.

I've never been paid extra for 'on call', always been salaried and had it added as an expectation after the fact. I'll admit I've quit over it.

But frankly, it doesn't matter if we're the cause or not, we're the only thing around that could potentially do anything to save ourselves. So ya know, we kinda should regardless of whose fault it is.
