> Banks don't get to say the money you put in one of their accounts is "theirs" do they? They do. They even give it away to third parties. Legally speaking your bank deposit is a loan to the bank.

I think you are noticing it more. It’s always been a popular source here.

The Federal Arbitration act was specifically setup to provide a lower cost avenue to settle disputes as it is widely agreed that the current court system is too expensive for the average person. There is valid criticism that it prevents cla

That would make the diagnosis so common as to be meaningless.

I strongly disagree with the premise. I can’t think of any industrial titans who retired to leisure. Those who tried or were forced into it seemed to die shortly after. Henry Ford perhaps came closest with 20 years of only “unofficial” cont

You think of money as a way to buy things. Others think of it for what it really is - a way to gain influence and control.

They are in large ventilated rooms (bigger than an airplane hanger) with strict OSHA controls regarding heat exposure. A data center is a much more domesticated space and are often near commercial and residential areas not Industrial.

GPUs worked well because you could transfer all your large art assets upfront and then only communicate your mesh and shader logic as the game ran. They don't work so well if you need frequent access to system memory.

I never argued about the relative importance of the wars, just that your bar for "major" is extremely high. You also forget about Korea as the start of the communist domino theory that directly led to the Vietnam intervention. An

US had 418,500 WWII deaths, and Korea had 128,650. Both within the same order of magnitude of each other. Vietnam surprisingly had only 60,000 US deaths - it is more notable for the resistance at home it spawned. There's no reasonabl

You make this sound like an inevitability, but you discount the radical idea of rights and due process evolved over hundreds of years specifically to claw back investigative power. The King used to be able to search anything he wanted beca

This is an advanced trick, but I've successfully done this as part of a binary search to find the glyph at the visual mid-point of the string. UTF-8 is self-synchronizing so you can detect if you cut a code point in half. You still n

Steve did electronics projects with Woz as teenagers before they ever considered making a company. He was heavily into phone phreaking which is not a layman activity. He wasn't as talented as Woz or Bill Gates at engineering but I don

What does fork() even mean in a modern multi-threaded process? A lot of new kernel features have just given up to the point where current advice is to never call it unless you plan to exec immediately after. But the technical debt within t

Strange you don't consider Vietnam a major war. I won't blame you for forgetting Korea though as even contemporaries did so. For me the definition of "major war" is were civilians forcibly conscripted.

Was it wrong for the parliamentarians to fight the royalists in the first English civil war? Many lives were lost but the foundations of democracy were set and the monarchy weakened. The pragmatic view would have been to maintain the stat

Bookmarks into a string are one such example of the need for this. No need to O(n) iterate over the string again when the bookmarking logic has already done so. Computed indicies into strings are a no-go but that is far from the only use c

Microsoft in the 90s figured out how to work around that. Just silo them and have their manager do the external interfacing for them. This was assuming they really were at least an 8/10 which was required to make the whole thing wort

Things that aren't cost effective don't normally work at scale. So this is what differentiates it from a feel-good PR stunt that will go nowhere. Cynical to be sure, but grounded in historical precedent.

I've watched a number of interviews with war planners from that era. Every one has said they knew they had more missiles. Its questionable whether Kennedy would have known during his campaign (they do receive intelligence briefings a

Tax agencies argue about the fair value of assets and services all the time. Companies are already forced to do this when estimating VAT among subsidiaries. So while it is a problem, its not a new one - nor an unsolvable one.

Are they using the ICC compiled Linpack on the AMD chips too? I think its totally fair as long as they used GCC or other best in class compiler for AMD.

This should help explain Brexit a little better. The EU is about giving up sovereignty. It may or may not be a fair trade depending on your POV. But people talk about it like the EU is a no brainer by looking only at economic grounds.
