Maybe if Amazon made it easier for buyers to filter out marketplace vendors, or didn't automatically co-mingle inventory between themselves and Fulled by Amazon vendors, it would be a lot easier to cut them some slack?

Not when acres directly correlate with the amount of energy being generated. The Sahara has very few people but would be ripe energy-generation space.

Per capita doesn't seem like the most useful measure here unless you're expecting people to spin the turbines by hand. Texas has (by GP's numbers) 16 times the land area and 2.5x the annual sunshine hours [1,2] (given Texas&#

Thinking about it some more, a radar altimeter is only effective to ~2000 feet so it’s probably going to be a relatively close range highly-directional beam which would make it harder for a seeker head to find but also means you’d need a tr

In a war situation, blasting out high power RF would also be painting a huge target on your antennae for an AGM-88 HARM.

I mean, when your entire post is a rant it's hard to converse reasonably ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ If your problem's with Tuskegee specifically (and at no point did I compare your alcoholism study with Tuskegee, that’s a straw man), there&#x

Treatment's a matter for a public health service rather than other researchers though, right? There's not much science in another group of researchers taking over to test how penicillin treats syphilis; that's already settled

Not really; by that point the damage was done. The subjects would’ve benefitted equally by the doctors being put in prison for the rest of their lives (or given the death penalty, per Nuremberg) if only to set an example to the rest of the

So in the same era as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study? I couldn't really care less what the judge concluded, I hope we've since established that medical ethics weren't what they should be. The better of the quotes you've dro

Does it really matter? The cost of throwing out the privacy baby along with the bad actor bathwater is much higher than that of this one bad study, even if it was mitigated slightly by the good intent of the follow-up. It would have been be

In the case of Zen/Zen2, some of the dies didn't have direct access to main memory but went through an adjacent die's memory controller and channel. This had a performance and latency effect, and required some extra work on t

You're not wrong but the Mac Pro went a particularly long time between updates.

While the form factor was cool, how pissed would you have been if it broke and you were buying the exact same machine, for the same price (give or take), in 2018? Part of the "mess", I'd argue, was that Apple backed themsel

I mean, the iMac Pro came out in 2017 and there isn't much sign of anything trickling down to the standard iMac. Rumour is that the ARM Mac Pro will be significantly smaller than the Intel one - it'll be interesting to see how (or

There's even precedent for it: the iMac/iMac Pro. The Pro model has workstation-class hardware in it while the non-Pro does not. Ideally the enhanced cooling from the Pro models would trickle down to the non-Pro. By all reports th

Because as the sibling comments point out, the price of a Mac Pro isn't just an "Apple Tax^WPremium" over a desktop machine but is an order of magnitude more expensive (assuming you don't care about workstation-class com

You can get on the order of 25 [1] M1s (i.e. 100 high performance/100 low power /200 GPU cores) in the same TDP as a Threadripper. Until someone builds a Beowulf cluster of MacBooks they're not just in a different league but

Unless I'm mistaken, this isn't about the GPUs inside the MBP but about the external ones you can connect separate power and a Thunderbolt cable to. In that case, you're not talking about a Radeon Pro 5600M but rather a deskt
