Hah, I see where you're coming from. If your SOC has CPU, GPU, PCIe routing, and networking all packaged up, then the "main" board isn't doing anything all that main anymore. Unexpected sign of the times.

Agreed! We are eroding the meaning of many words that we use to describe ownership and the exchange of goods + services. My sophomoric interpretation has always been that when your economy is shifting to being more service-centered that tr

Or it means that naming something that clearly implies it does more than it actually does is just false advertising... I'm looking at you "autopilot."

Baring some grand miscalculation on my part, I'd likely win the wager that you don't actually know their mother or the comorbidities she might have that lead them to that conclusion. They are likely overestimating her odds of deat

I do believe Kanye West had something to say about that. It was quite some number of years ago, and I don't remember what he said, but I do remember it made Mike Myers visibly uncomfortable.

First of all, deaths are on the rise[1]. That said, if the populations for new cases stays about where it is now, the relative rate for new cases vs deaths will likely still be lower than we saw in the "first wave". This is becaus

You're actually going to have to sign an NDA about not releasing the draconian, ahem, I mean brave, err... forward thinking... terms of my actual NDA. You see, I don't want you reusing those ideas without due compensation. It just

Don't the professors who are not always healthy young people also deserve to not get sick? (My mom instructs chemistry at a university and she almost 65)

I idolized Torvalds growing up and respect him to this day (I still sometimes randomly say to myself "Hello, this is Linus Torvalds, and I pronounce Linux as Linux!"). I also applaud the strides he's made to improve how he tr

While I'm 100% against the supreme courts ruling and hope there is eventually some movement on it, I cannot get behind the writing of this article. It is two superlatives short of pointing people to a pitchfork store.

Is that not better? Serious question. As long as the rule is not surface deep and people can't just turn to coded language where x_code_word always mean some_person_of_color. People will be forced to reconsider their language and hopef

Most dark patterns have a non-intuitive way of circumventing them (the small-font faded-color "no, thank you" button comes to mind). That is Ebay's. Other examples here: https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions&

For people saying this to calculate the final price with shipping and tax, it's not (or at least not entirely). It is for this new sales conversion dark pattern where prices aren't listed until you add to cart. Ebay sellers are pa

Apple would buy GF long before they ever get the chance to buy TSMC (which I'm sure they would do if they could). GF has a decent 14/12nm node and they've basically said they have given up going smaller. That slashes their lo

Being on the side of Turkey in the Syria conflict cannot be the right side of history. Especially because they are now in control of Kurdish occupied lands in Syria. Saying that the Turkish government harbors a century-long paranoid animosi

Your right, it's insensitive to every people group that's been enslaved for any period of time. Yet somehow that doesn't encompass all people groups in the same way that kill does. Maybe we should be considerate of all people

There is always another good reason.

Perhaps, but isn't that akin to saying "Do you have any real evidence that social inequality is lower under an elected president vs a papal appointed monarch?"

The premise is not wrong. If you believe that the police force attracts certain kinds of unsavory individuals, then remove what makes said unsavories interested. If police officers don't need to carry firearms as SOP because they are g

This is my greatest fear at the moment. My grandfather is 93; my parents, aunts, and uncles are all over 60. They keep asking me to drive home and WFH with them, but I keep making excuses why I can't. Really, I'm just worried. I w

I try to avoid these discussions on HN as I'm a petrohead and find myself often on the wrong side of the greater audience here. That said, no car is really loud sub ~3000 rpm, at least not in the way I imagine you're implying. Tha

Yes! So yes. But also no. When Microsoft released Windows Phone 7, it really got people excited. It was a shot across Skeuomorph UI's bow. Big fonts, dark mode by default, flat and chromeless to an almost fault. It was a serious depart

But if a claimant does send a letter and that letter gets ignored, what's their recourse if they can't sue? Send another, more angrily worded letter? That will show the defiant business owner what for! They'd likely have to f

I can't say I understand the continued interest in RPI emulation. A few years back it might have made sense, but small board options are much more varied now. The Nvidia Jetson Nano seems like a no brainer in the emulation space. It&#x

Finder is bad, no argument, but modern macOS (vs OS X) has way more to be ashamed of. I'm not going to rattle off some list grievances, but sometimes I really am floored by how much of my mac workflow is simply working around macOS bec
