I hope you're right. As long as home values don't drop -too- much below existing prices, damage would be minimized. Big second order effect of a potential housing crash: There's a non-negligible part of the population that us

There's a few contributing factors to down payments being lower. Like with FHA loans, you can have a very minimal down payment, however unlike a conventional loan, the 'MIP' (the insurance comparable to a Conventional's

I will honestly state I don't know the terms you buy a Tesla on, but it wouldn't surprise me if holding on to the vehicles impacted cash flow somehow.

Cross licensing definitely had a part in it. Some of that was necessity, either practical or contractual. In the 70s, before Projection Masking as a fabrication technique came into play, more complex designs could have yields as bad as 10%.

It's also possible they were fishing for a connection to 'cover-up' corruption in a Religious institution. In which case they'd be right.

Yeah. A Religious Private School.

Because the school has been gone for somewhere around 15 years, and the administrators involved are all retired or passed away. Sometimes, you have to let go of anger over a situation... but still remember it as a compass of empathy.

Having learned Elixir, there definitely were a couple interesting gotchas, what kept me sane was at least already understanding the Actor model and message passing. Having to learn a new language alongside a new paradigm can be very challen

Schools that do that sort of thing are the fucking worst. I'll go ahead and admit that I got bullied a lot at my first high school, for being a combination of gullable/fat/dorky as well as, for most of my time there, the only

Not just for interviewing. When I bought my first Car, a fraternity brother of mine was able to get me a GM Friends and Family Discount. He wound up having to get my SSN to give to his Father so that his father could get it put 'in the

If a developing country handled all environmental regulations, etc. there would -still- be a profit to be had, unless shipping winds up negating that profit. Logically speaking a less developed country will still have lower overall wages. W

Not just m43s. Sony/Nikon/Canon, I'd assume the rest of the major brands as well nowadays; most frequently for Pincushion and Barrel distortion. Such corrections are all but essential for affordable zooms, but I'm still

It's difficult to say why AMD's implementation has held up better. One interesting thing I noted looking at wikichip's info [0] was that Zen calls out that Cache is tagged by thread. I wonder whether Intel's HT did/

As others mentioned, Pipelining resulted in scenarios where Other manufacturer's CPUs had a lower clock rate but 'comparable' performance. There's two main Eras of this; During the P5/P6 Days, AMD, Cyrix, and NexGen

Specifically, the memory -latency-. By going on-package there's almost certainly latency advantages in addition to the much-vaunted bandwidth gains. That's going to pan out to better perf, and likely better power usage as well.

Heck even consumer goods like toilet paper were impacted. JIT is useful when the end-product has a high depreciation rate and/or you forsee yourself frequently changing the part out for a newer version. Another tendril on the issue; mo

This doesn't sound bad on the surface, but my worry would be that we would wind up with Wiki-style moderation instead of SO style moderation. i.e. 'guarded articles', edit wars and power-mods overriding outside consensus.
