I don't think anyone in that situation is claiming a right(which would indeed be preposterous), just an interest in using their political power to deny, degrade, and disrupt the process of getting these sorts of projects approved if th

Anything that close to shore is going to cause, and in this case has already caused, a lot of NIMBY backlash. I can't say I really blame them for it either. We're going to have to find locations suitably far offshore to put these

Wow, that was an incredibly unsafe thing to do. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they weren't at least doing it outside, much less under a vent hood or at least wearing good masks.

shrug I don't have these issues at all. I just tried "food near me" and it worked perfectly fine. Like I said I might be the best case scenario since I speak in a basically standard american broadcast english accent.

This is interesting. The most compelling use case IMO is protection against cold boot attacks rather than virtualization, at least until SEV has been proven empirically to do what they claim. Virtualization security is hard to get right in

Do you have any articles/books detailing construction practices during that time period? Also any numbers on what percent of housing in America was built during that time period.

Probably anti-trust, otherwise I think Intel would have bought them a few years ago just for the huge discount on their graphics division, which Intel has never seemed to be able to do well.

Any acquisition of AMD will be seriously complicated by potentially needing to re-negotiate the patent cross-licensing agreements with Intel. There are lots of companies that could have been great buyers for AMD in the past that have passed

You're right, I don't know what I was thinking.

Cache coherency might not necessarily be an issue if they treat each Cores->L3 pair as a NUMA node. I don't think they are doing that since we probably would have already heard about it if they are, but AMD has done crazier things b

I don't think they are in any danger of bankruptcy. Whether they return to profitability is still an open question but it seems likely that they should be by some point next year. How profitable, and what happens after that, is anyone&

It could even help with low threadcount workloads since the L3 will presumably be able to be fewer cycles away from each core than a unified last level cache would be.

I feel like that is more a product of the fact that the effort put into most other languages is greatly lower at this point relative to English, rather than English is particularly easy or other languages are particularly hard. It will all

The timeframe is slightly disappointing since I think a lot of people were expecting Q3/Q4 2016. The architecture itself sounds pretty much like what everyone was expecting, a traditional fat and wide core. Their power management and f

Burning natural gas is among the cheapest forms of heating we have, and it works 24/7/365 and at all latitudes. Solar heating using a slab as a heat reserve requires re-engineering houses completely and may be impossible in a lot

Even assuming that's the kind of Saudi Arabia Mohammad bin Salman wants, it will take generations to lift the people off the oil teat and into a productive western, capitalist economy. It might just barely be starting to pay off near t

There are other uses for oil besides gasoline that are not going to be displaced anytime soon. Jet fuel, home heating(could be if solar gets exceptionally cheap, but unlikely anytime soon), asphalt, plastics, etc. Those uses alone probably

Tesla battery packs have active thermal management, and improper thermal loading is one of the greatest enemies of li-ion cells. You are also not likely to cycle the pack nearly as much as in typical cell phone or laptop usage scenarios, wh

A version with whey or pea protein and less carbs would make me a convert for two out of three meals a day, if not all three during the work week.

There's plenty of evidence in the links I posted for a large effect of high concentrations of circulating soy compounds in the body. I don't doubt that it is a non-issue for most people consuming normal amounts of soy. The issue

Even easier, just add 1 cup of Fairlife Whole Milk to two scoops of a whey protein isolate protein powder(such as Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard) and mix. The macros are way better than Soylent(less carbs, more protein) and it tastes way b

I don't have a source off hand but I remember the heart-healthy effects of soy being quite small in magnitude. Personally I try to avoid anything that has the potential to be a strong endocrine or hormone disruptor like soy and plastic

I meant in terms of protein content of the product, which is where the negative and beneficial effects of soy come from. If you eat Soylent for every meal nearly all the protein you are consuming is in the form of soy protein.

Well that makes me feel a lot better about some of the high readings around me, since I already carbon filter most of our water.

I completely agree, I don't think it will end up being a massive disaster in the long-run, precisely because people will be thinking about how to solve them. Quick dismissal of the potential problems that could result does not help us
