Our new near Sube has this too. It's missing something crucial though - long distance awareness.

if you're cruising on the highway and come across a traffic snarl, the Sube will not slow down in time, as it doesn't look far enough ahead. (Of course, i haven't quite tested this fully, just a fair amount of driving - even in city traffic it doesn't seem like it would slow down fast enough when you come across stopped traffic).

Netflix is loosing all of Disney content, that's HUGE and a very good reason for parents to stop subing to NF. Disney is making its own channel and what i said was going to happen is now happening. DC made its own network 7.99 a month min,Disney will soon too, bet 10.99 a month or alot more. Cable TV was once Disney bread and butter everyone had to subscribe to cable TV higher tier server to get Disney or pay a sub like they do for HBO. Since people are leaving cable and went to Netflix well looks like disney,dc,and yes marvel is making their own too now add those to your internet bill and hmm starting to look alot like the cable TV bill isn't it. lol we ....will...never ...win
Dare Devil was canceled,Luke cage was canceled.Iron Fist was canceled by NF because Disney pulling their content cant really blame them but now i don't have a reason to subscribe to NF except for maybe a month a yr. YT is no comp to Netflix, the content is very different nuff said about that.

Adobe support was demanding I give them a new card for payment and canceled my sub even though the card was still good for 3 months and didn't care that the bank wouldn't send me a new card until the last month the card was good for. kept saying my card was expired every time I talked to them. Be nice if I could just buy the product instead of this stupid subing crap now.

Was it you who posted as AC about SATA and USB from the CPU?
At-least it mentioned here.

Can you link some information.

You are forgetting SATA ports and USB 3.1 gen1 and gen2 is also coming from cpu

On Ryzen?
I saw he said that.

Care to link or explain it in full instead of just dropping so little information?

http://www.amd.com/en-us/produ...
List 2+10+6 USB on X370 chipset, and 6 SATA + x2 NVMe or 4 SATA + x4 NVMe + 2 SATA express.
But that's listed on chipset, not processor.

What you mean? Suck that you posted as AC.

Ryzen has 24 lanes of which 16x will/may be used for graphics and 4x for the chipset and then another 4x from the CPU and Intel have "20" of which 4 (DMI 3 8 GT/s) is for the chipset right?

So yeah, a lead of 4 for Ryzen.

But if you NEED more PCI-express then Intel have HEDT and AMD have Threadripper. But sure, more would be nice, and Zen+ people speculate will have PCI-express 4.0, that's of course nice. I feel you're right pointing out this flaw and it one but I don't really know what I should be doing about it. Sure Ryzen 7 may be a bit better because of this, even though I feel connectivity is pretty limited there too.

AMD always had vastly superior integration, e.g. the memory controller on the CPU half a decade before Intel.

I keep seeing this angst about PCIe lanes, but what do you actually need them for?

16x from the CPU, with 2x8 and 1x8 + 2x4 modes for dual or triple SLI is perfectly fine for the vast majority of workloads. (You'll be limited elsewhere before the GPU bus speed matters unless you're doing something very specialised)

Then on the z270 and z370 platforms there's 24 lanes down a shared 4 lane equivalent to the CPU. You may argue you need it for NVMe RAID0, but you probably don't. Flash drives are already effectively RAID0 devices, with few NVMe drives able to saturate a x4 PCIe3.0 link. In many cases buying a larger drive is similar to running two smaller drives in RAID0 already, as they spread the writes amongst more flash chips. eg: 2 x 250GB drives Vs the 500GB version of the drive.

If you really need more PCIe lanes, you probably really want one of the HEDT platforms anyway, because you also need more memory channels.

DMI 3.0 is trash tier. Fucking 4 PCIe 3.0 links for all that I/O (including USB)? bottleNECK!

need more pci-e lanes (DMI is over subed) + need new chipset is a joke with no pci-e boost.

AMD has more pci-e and usb on cpu die.

On the other hand, most contractors are allowed to subcontract.

The key is most. You can contractually prevent a contractor from subing out work; doing so does not mean they are an employee.

In any case, the IRS has provided reasonably clear guidance in the area of limousine service. If the employing company is a pure dispatch company (e.g., it doesn't control how the drivers drive and the driver is not accountable to the company), then drivers can be considered contractors. If however, the employing company is a transport service (e.g., the company provides detailed instructions to its drivers and monitors their daily performance and the driver doesn't maintain business like doing advertising or keeping logs), then the drivers must be considered employees.

That's the crux of the question - is Uber acting as a taxi dispatch company that uses smart phones instead of land lines and radios to match fares with drivers or are they doing more than simply dispatching rides.

I don't think that's an apt analogy. I agree that subing for an OS is idiocy (I thought the same back when my shop still rented HPUX for ungodly sums). But Adobe CS sub was a fantastic way of getting people like me, who want to be honest and pay for the software we need, to be able to do so without resorting to piracy. Even better, after a full year on my CS sub, they gave me a full license to the latest version that I can keep in perpetuity. I don't know if the new Creative Cloud pricing model continues that; probably not because they've dropped version numbers, but all told I am paying much less per year than I would have spent shelling out for the CS Master Collection.

As far as I can tell the "plan" has been too almost completely kill NASA and/or cut funding and just let the next administration deal with it. HSP and Science programs alike.

Dont get me wrong, NASA is just about as bad as any .gov agency when it comes to money management, fixed cost spending and subed work to oblivion
NASA subed too->
Lockheed subed too->
Brand x Management->Too x number of small, no name companies, started by former NASA execs and senator sons/former astronauts.

The only real benefit has been the inclusion of new blood commercial entities (most people I dont think understand that COTS is really competition for soyuz, always has, always will.). The only reason they get the fan fare is because...this TAXI service is the only thing NASA has to show for itself after 10+ yrs (Through faults of there own and the govs, I dont plant blame squarely on NASA, there is more then just a linear story to explain the state of things today ).

Clear Subscriber in ATL since day 1. All I could get in my 'hood was AT&T and Charter. The speeds for ATT were just 1.5 and Charter was charging me out the butt for 5M speed so I jumped at getting Clear. Not totally unhappy but...

Clear has been a pretty good ISP but (and it's a big butt) the speed I get with a home modem changes drastically. According to Clear I am about 500+ feet from the nearest tower and within the range of three so I get 5 bars all the time. I did a three day test to see where my bandwidth was at different times of the day. See the list below and you tell me they don't have issues with over-subing the service. All speeds are in Mps averaged over three days. Also these we average speeds to three servers one in Cali, one in NY, and one in WI.

The last time I had the misfortune to have my brain polluted by a Daily Mail story was when sitting bored in a physio's waiting room.

Flipping the rag open at random, I see a headline something like:

    87% of Britons now members of a persecuted minority

this little nugget of wisdom had apparently been assembled by taking the percentages of various "minorities" and adding them all together.

The groups included:

    51% Women

*cough* minority?

and then:

    12% Single Mothers

[SubEd Are you sure we can simply add that number to the Women?] [Ed: yeah, no problem]

I've noticed the same thing although I've been studying japanese for a little over 2 years and can read text that is much smaller than I used to be able to. The reason is, in the context of a sentence, you don't need to see every individual stroke in order to know what the word is. You just need to recognize the basic shape. It's kind of like looking at the shape of the forest instead of the individual trees.

I'm near sighted, 20/50 or something, but I rarely wear glasses unless I know I'm going to be reading stuff far away. I can almost never read text on a TV sitting 8 feet away from me, ie for video games or if I'm watching something with subtitles. I can however make out equivalently sized japanese text even though all the characters appear "blurry" to me. It's funny cause I stream music videos subed with japanese, ramaji, and english and the only part of the subs I can make out is the japanese. Sometimes the japanese text is *smaller* the the romaji and english. I've even muted the TV to see if this was some kind of confirmation bias but it's definitely something I've noticed in several different contexts and cant be a fluke. I've studied a little bit of korean and think korean might also have this tendency, except you can probably make out korean close up at a smaller font than Japanese. The best of both words maybe?

I subed to him before he was on slashdot.

I had an episode of road rage, related to a very loud , what I learned later via the internet, called "ricer". We all know "ricer". Extremely out of balance low HP engines letting the stuff legends are made out of fly...It still aint a low rpm sube or a chevy, and I snapped. I could have hurt somebody....Bumper stickers do not phase me. In fact I want one that says "POLICE", but thats a lie....like a ricer with loud exhaust...in my FACE.
