I agree that dealing with Covid is the way to go forward, but we simply cannot drag our feet with restrictions until summer/fall of 2021. If politicians choose to do so anyway, they should know that economic devastation can be a very r

Not a study but the COVID Symptom Tracker App has registered one in 200 with side-effects 90 days later. Source: https://news.sky.com/story/coronavirus-more-than-half-of-cov... So anywhere from 0.5% up to 2% seems to b

Avoiding the atomic war in 1983 is a much larger historic event without a doubt. If anything the current time marks the point where politicians were given too much control of otherwise free countries.

Critical thinking along with rational data-based analysis is not that easy to do it seems. I feel like the Corona situation has made this worse, so its good to see some sensibility being applied. One case in point, the Corona situation in N

A solution could be to flag a post as suspicious or even fake news. Though that will open the floodgates to all sorts of scrutiny that I think won’t help. So a post like yours seems to be a good enough solution for the problem.

Hopefully this deal will be stopped in it's tracks by regulators. If not then it's very likely that NVIDIA will do everything in it's power to increase prices for ARM designs.

Some excellent points on the challenges of a manager. I would think that managing the people side of things can be hard as well, unless its a matrix organization. As an engineer I agree that "time spent in a role" does not say any

As someone who is again at a company doing SAFe, I am genuinely curious as to the relevance of story points. For estimation, hours is a good measure, even more so when there are external consultants that get paid by the hour. Developer velo

I was under the impression that it was the power draw alone that decided when the fan kicked in. But it makes sense that the temperature also matters. Based on that info and that the system will draw about 430W for CPU+GPU, it seems that th

Great story nonetheless, as a parent this is the kind of imagination that it's hard to come up with as a parent. I do understand that your parents acted the way they did. As someone who grew up with games, I would have gone the extra m

Great to hear that PCIe 4 is not a necessity at this point. About the PSU, for me the only reason to go with a 1000W PSU is that the fan will remain quiet with a GTX 1080 when idle and gaming as well. At least thats what I hope. If the same

Am in the same situation, the 1080 is still holding up well, but the 3080 looks very tempting indeed. Looking forward to some benchmarks that evaluate the difference between PCIe 3.0 and 4.0. Getting a new motherboard with PCIe 4.0 along wi

My thoughts exactly, games matter to buyers. If users know they save on in-game purchases then they will sideload where it matters, e.g. Fortnite. Am getting an Android phone the next time, which is about the only effective thing a consumer

At least Citibank is trying to upgrade their ancient systems, but it sure looks as if previous or current CEOs failed to exercise due diligence. Doesn't look like good risk management at all.

Not using the designated pedestrian crosswalk is a very unsafe practice. Still, we should expect autonomous vehicles to cope with that, which is certainly not the case yet.
