This is just more anecdata, but I notice a small minority of Bloomberg articles, including the server hacking piece, where it seems that some competent journalists tried pretty hard to break a real story. (edit for clarity- Clearly they got

It also common that marketing material that says "Japanese caps" means capacitors made specifically by Nippon-ChemiCon or Nichicon which are brands known for selling good quality high end capacitors.

What? Maybe the Epoch Times is biased, but the Falun Gong is nothing like scientology: it has no fees and isn't trying to coerce anyone to join. It's a minority group that is persecuted by the CCP.

it's really a pitch that starts with the hardware companies and the media companies buy into it because more DRM has no downside for them. You better believe some "HDCP-certified 2.0" badge or whatever is on every hdtv and gp

Most of the above, with a couple caveats. For HDMI, specifically: A is true, as HDMI requires a pretty ugly IP core on an fpga or an asic to process or produce the phy. B is also true, as to sell a device with an HDMI port you have to join

I think the point they're making is that you cannot literally do fractional reserve banking with gold or bitcoins, because there is a physically or technically limited amount of them. In your example, they can fractional reserve with l

Can we get a true "one-shot-file-edit" command line switch, that bypasses hot-exit, without disabling hot-exit? For example I want to use sublime for git commit message. I juggle large repositories, and so I use about 3-4 differen

$4k/cpu/year is really not very expensive at all for industry-leading niche software. Good comparison might be Synopsys VCS. Prices are not published but I believe they are over $30k/cpu/year and for larger designs you r

I'm really not sure something like ptx is really the answer. PTX isn't really native and is JIT compiled into native by the gpu driver. In many high performance apps like games native compiled versions are included for several ar

They have a system where the receipts are married to your account so you also need to give your phone number to your friend. It's a maniacal system.

I attend UT Austin and it's pretty well known the CS school is particularly overcrowded, especially wrt lack of professors. Its ranking went up a lot somewhat recently, so I think its a growing pains thing. ECE is a bigger major but we

I'm curious, why do you believe Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria is a good one? I support the eventual withdrawal from Syria, but packing up now will place a large burden on Kurdish minority groups in the region, who deserv

Latency is a concern on the native apps too, but as tradeoffs go, cell OEMs care about mag/site reviews and "it takes a little longer to take a capture" buried deep in the text will be worth much less than better-looking exam

Depending on the apps you're clicking links on you might be able to drag the link onto the incognito window. Still more annoying that it default opening incognito but nicer than copy/pasta.
