   Well, why wouldn't it make sense? People were governed and had different levels of say through the history. Perhaps the most extreme example would be the French Revolution where the aristocracy had more votes per person than the common

   Allow me to shine some light on the title: What does the general population think if aristocracy is about to buy back it's way to power?

   It's not, anybody can write a bullshit paper today. There is a reason this hard won democracy exist and why we dealt away with lesser systems where less people are in power. The author of the papern should go visit North Korea or Saudi

   You are comparing i5-3470 @ 3.60 GHz vs i7-4510U @ 2.00 That U on the end says it's ultra low voltage CPU. They are not similar. One is a very limited few watts CPU for mobile devices, the other one is a desktop variant allowed to pull

   I am fluent in c, c++, c#. The performance level difference in implementations in some cases is over five orders of magnitude. I envy people that don't have to worry or use pointer management. I imagine them coding in rust with one han

   You are ignoring the fact that many problems can't be solved in the higher level languages. Also, for some, having the c/c++ level of control is prefered.

   No incentive beyond personal satisfaction these days. Most people write and jump ship, which is so sad.

   Nature of things unfortunately. I did my internship at Nortel. A decade later and having worked from small shops to IBM and beyond, nothing comes close to the quality of people/code that I saw at Nortel. From another perspective: It is

   Outside of the crazies, for the rest, ever considered that maybe you are just uninformed? Ten years ago, the ones telling people that agencies are storing everything by default, and Skype was bought/centralized to help with that were l

    As time goes, that won't be your only problem. Every business will try to tie you down as much as possible. Fb just has something very nice and heavy knots.

    7700k is an awesome CPU. I just prefer 4 more cores at the $400 mark price, and was willing to risk it :)

    I wasn't taking about the lid. The raw thermal output is different under a full non-transient load. Why the cynism?

    On another hand, in the cpu space, I went to top of the line Intel CPU overheating and throttling, to 8 core Ryzen, doing 45 celsius at 100 percent load and almost 4ghz across 8 cores. Stuff like Intel unable to perform below 80 degrees on

    Are you referring to http2? The binary standard they pushed to help them crawl better and make things less debugable for the rest of the network community that's mostly small entry developers?

    And then you have Bill Gates going: this year, I'm going to eradicate disease X from the planet for all humanity because I have the money. That's altruism. Research into self driving cars, on a closed platform, is a PR move.

    We can go into an amazing yet pointless semantical argument of what "privacy" means. But let's look at this from a different perspective: I like your faith. However, if this change goes in, and the capability is there, it wil
