> This is much different than the BBC which attempts to maintain independence. Independence? That's just your opinion. They are clearly better at marketing than the Saudis.

The GP felt it is okay to disparage Arab News solely because they are funded by the Saudis, which evidently they don't like. By the same standards, the BBC is literally funded by another state, the UK. Both are state funded media, thu

BBC is UK propaganda and fine; Arabnews is Saudi propaganda and not fine. Who are you to judge?

Does FB not have the equivalent of GoogleGuest SSID which is open to public unauthenticated where reachable? I've certainly downloaded Ubuntu over torrent on that wifi.

Notably VMware and alike in pre-hardware virtualization era did something like that to run x86 programs fast under virtualization instead of interpreting x86 through emulation.

Thanks for the clarification. I was surprised to learn it is not a single chip; thought they did something akin to Apple Silicon integrating some ARM cores on their main chip. Kind of disappointing: they basically asked MediaTek to build a

You're weasling your way out of the core point. I'm in no way advocating for such ideas. Quite the opposite. I'm just saying unless you have data about this you shouldn't rely on your instincts. There are many nuances ar

Is that so? I have not surveyed the Chinese, but will not be surprised if the approval was higher than you'd imagine. If anything, the core ideas of communism have clear demand in the west and people are voting for them when they are s

It's delusional to think the default OS would be replaced by anyone more than a few percent of niche users. It's your desire to have open OS just say so. Doesn't really tie into avoiding oppression by communism. The Chinese n

Where does MediaTek come into the picture? Don't they take some ARM Cortex IP directly from ARM just like MediaTek and many others?

Fair enough. On the other hand you have more thunderbolts to make up a clique mesh of seven point to point Macs.

You should not be using an adapter to get IP over Thunderbolt. Just connect a Thunderbolt5 cable to both machines.

How is it different from their consumer GPU marketing? They have Founder Edition under NVIDIA brand initially, but the ecosystem is supposed to mass produce. It appears to be the same for DGX Spark where PNY has produced the NVIDIA branded

Sure it’s free when connected but they had scheduled blackouts over the summer in Tehran to make sure IRGC Bitcoin miners keep working.

Don't wanna be killjoy, but specifically since "sleek" and "native" is mentioned many times, I'd say that's not what one expects from a sleek macOS application to say the least. I'd expect something l

Modern iPhones? iTunes/iPod sync still works just fine. However, you have to question if that’s what most people who use iPhone want. For one thing, mobile users don’t necessarily have a PC. Mobile is the main device for most users not

Fair enough, though I still think even there the headspace of the author was more in line with proving single-threaded C virtual machine model does not map to how CPU actually behaves, not that a natively parallel language would be best s

The referred paper C isn't a low level language - your computer isn't a fast PDP11 [1] was not really addressing multicore parallelism. It was discussing instruction-level parallelism , which is done within an execution thread a

- Infinity is not a number. "To infinity" means grows without bounds (under the current underlying system; now I do agree the system will at some point adjust.) - Politics operates in reality, not ideals. There would never be such

The way you describe it as if a widow is reaching out to interest from a nest egg to get by and I got a little tear. But since I do know better: - some of these endowments grow over time to infinity. - that's tax-free gain/interes

A good thing from whose perspective? From the perspective of US it would always be a bad thing. Why would you ever want to concede something and limit yourself without proportional concessions.

They may never have had the chance to beat Apple but they could certainly have bet on Android instead of Windows Phone and today they probably would have been in a different place like Samsung.

There's a way to do that. Don't call it free beta with no pricing attached. Call it "free trial for X period" and ideally advertise the price ahead of time as it was always done in the past. Not calling it a "trial&

I think you are misinterpreting what the voters mean by "economy." It refers to the incomes and expenses and economic opportunities of themselves and their family and friends . It does not mean macroeconomic metrics. I do not

Right and you simply break even there so there's not much upside in terms of variable costs unless your electricity is somehow cheaper and not mainstream California prices.

Technically WSL1 is superior, sure, but is that what users want? Seems like users are happily using VMs to run Docker on Mac and many don't even know it is VM underneath. I suppose max compatibility with Linux kernel is more of a desir
