All the "non-free-speech", "speech is violence" advocates here: Violence, call for violence against others, and crimes that happen to have a speech component to them, are NOT protected by the first amendment. Threats ag

Except for the actual hacking part. When everyone is a hacker, no one is. But let's put facts aside, for Beto makes us all feel really good with the inaccurate "hacker" moniker attached for political mileage. I personally wou

With Elizabeth Warren's bonafide native american roots, and Beto's hacker cred, I'd say we're witnessing a very honest, salt of the earth campaign by the Democrats.

If 2% of the workforce is comprised of artists, would it suffice to cap student loans to art majors at 3% or 4% of the student population? At what point does a student loan become unviable to the lender, given real world statistics? Why isn

But the suggestion is inaccurate, based on the OP's own citation. Reactor design IP is a closely guarded secret, heavily regulated and controlled to prevent nuclearization of other countries.

Like other comments have noted, it's almost taken for granted that 5 countries can dictate who does and doesn't get access to uranium. It's fine that they collude, but legitimizing their collusion as logical or moral isn&#x2

Quoting your CBC citation: "The nuclear device was built using plutonium obtained from the 40-megawatt Cirus research reactor, a gift from Canada" Plutonium, the raw material (also) used for making bombs, was "donated".

Maybe citations would help, but language like "Canada donated a design" simply makes no sense geopolitically. No country "donates" nuclear tech

Agreed - On initial reading, I felt the article was trying to make excuses for Apple's claims, but I realize it was merely summarizing US vs EU rules. Edited it

Apple's predatory behavior is a serious threat to competition! Hence the complaint! > Apple only controls 20 to 25 percent of the European smartphone market But controls 70% of revenues and profits generated from apps. People LOVE

Firstly, congrats on shipping a virtual DOM lib in WASM. Hopefully, frameworks intent on using a V-DOM will greatly benefit from this. Having said that, is a V-DOM required in 2019, if DOM updates are optimally batched, like in FastDom ( h

This reads like rotten tomatoes changed the rules to appease one political faction. While radical intersectionalists launch mob attacks and review bomb everything from books to movies that they don't deem kosher [1], [2]..., companies

THIS is another reason to complain to EU regulators [1], regarding Apple's unfair trade practices. Never before in the history of computing, has a company so blatantly suppressed the competition and gotten away with murder. V8 should

Maybe Intel should only allow Apple to run Intel approved apps on Intel Mac's, because it's Intel's CPU running the show? And what about the modem chip vendors? Shouldn't Qualcomm put a firewall in firmware and filter al

I don't think this goes to trial, but it's trivial to prove unfair API advantages to the manufacturer. Either provide the same API to others, or concede to anti-competitive charges. NO ONE is willing to give Apple the benefit of d

by writepub 8y ago
The complaint is that Apple is withholding certain APIs from public access, though nothing technical prevents it from doing so, other than anti-trust issues. There is certainly truth to that! When Apple is both an app publisher, and API pub

FWIW, I don't believe Google was pushing a patent encumbered web, or H.264. Their VP8/VP9,VP10 funding speaks for itself. No one wants a monopoly in the browser space, and it seems like Mozilla has some other bone to pick with Goo

One reason is a trusted PKI. Even if an email is signed, how does one verify the ownership of the key? I hope certificate authorities aren't the answer here, we've all seen how that worked for the web. This is where a PKI on a blo

Mozilla has a storied history of roadblocking Google on principle. This outburst has all the hallmarks of an ideological objection, rather than technical, another in Mozilla's longstanding crusade against Google. If the proposal is a n

I think there's a conflation of client-side-SPA === rich/complex here. For all practical purposes, this may be true as SPAs have gotten reliant on complex frameworks like React, Vue, .. In 2019, with ES6, I believe frameworks to

I think the stakes are so high, and funding so deep, that eventually cache management will reach parity, regardless of the choices made to get there. I'm not an insider to dissect algorithms academically, but if in the worst case one n

Agree. But the presumption is that eventually, cache management algorithms will reach parity with the competition/bleeding edge. Any and all parameters that can be tweaked will be. All top CPU arch companies hire from the same pool of

You mean there's an upper limit to performance benefits of increasing cache sizes. The more important comparison is between a desktop CPU and ARM mobile. You'll quickly notice performance parity when cache sizes are increased on t
237.
by writepub 8y ago
At this point, most performance gains stem from: 1. L1, L2, L3 cache sizes. Since these are implemented as S-RAM, they can drastically increase chip area, and hence cost. 2. ISA Acceleration of certain types of algorithms - like encryption,
