Calm down (but only if you elect to) and head to your padded, soft-lit, safe space room in a conflict-free environment where vegan cookies and non-gmo soy milk will be served. Your daily serving of brain-neutering medication will be waiting for you of course./s
Intel has the broad scale and support infrastructure for large enterprise and government that AMD simply can't match. No matter how good their CPUs might be, they're simply too small to have the people to dedicate the way Intel does...and that hurts them most.
When you configure a $25000 server $500 in savings doesn't matter much.
And that about sums up AMD vs Intel. Same as the last time AMD had a performance edge. They picked up some market share from people trying to save money... and the large majority of corporate marched right on by the whole thing. I know I (in my corporate persona) did. I know we will again unless something profound changes.
Except H2 tech is at least a generation behind battery EVs, probably 2 or 3.
The distribution network? Equally so. Plus H2 just outright sucks to work with. Electricity? We've got a pretty robust distribution network there (yah, has it's flaws, but EVs can actually help balance that)
As far as I'm aware, there's never been a single production H2-based vehicle produced and sold for anything even remotely near breakeven price.
Yes, your anecdotal evidence and confirmation bias are absolutely indicative of Tesla as a whole. Feel free to join the people losing their shirt trying to short TSLA. I think i'll buy a bit myself just to make it that much harder for them to cover.
Not that I disagree SpaceX has the small to mid-range space launch market completely cornered on price and will own it on launch capacity shortly as well.
Nor do I disagree that SpaceX could pause today and make bank.
Nor do I disagree that they're right to fund the next generation of rockets because sitting still is what killed NASA.
I'm just pretty sure it's all means to his end of... well, mars.
Even if Tesla was actually at risk of running out of working capital they have so more than sufficient options to raise more it's laughable that anyone is seriously worried about it.
But I suppose being part of a startup about 1/1000th the scale of tesla makes you the expert on these things over the people who actually, actively, successfully do them today.
Agree, this is one of those times when there's no big evil mega corp putting someone down. It's just the differences between the genders and how they act/react to things.
In other news, the adult cam business is some far greater percent female and women earn far, far more than men on those sites. Guess we should start whining about that too?
Maybe enforce equality everywhere. You must spend equally (or perhaps blindly?) across all genders, orientations, and gender expressions while on a cam site. You won't be permitted to select which cam to watch but one will be randomly chosen for you in order to ensure everyone is represented equally. Your own webcam will track and monitor to ensure you fap to completion for each session.
Ok, moving on now...this article may have hit a nerve.
It's nonvolatile storage with a DIMM connector. Intel has always positioned "3D XPoint" as either a nonvolatile cache for slower storage or an independent storage medium; they aren't claiming this replaces RAM. Latency and bandwidth are far behind contemporary DDR regardless of what edge connector you put on it, and no one is claiming otherwise.
Maybe in the fevered dreams of some tech writer a future refinement of 3D XPoint can somehow compete with capacitors, but don't hold your breath waiting for it.
While they aren't (currently) trying to replace RAM, their Optane line is certainly not just a cache or faster alternative for flash storage. Not at all. They are looking at use cases where the quantity of memory is more important than the absolute speed. With the optane DIMMs they can populate more RAM in a single DIMM than most servers can support fully populated otherwise.
If you aren't a use case for max-RAM servers than optane DIMMs have ver little utility for you. If you are, then this is an enormous potential and cost saver.
It's definitely the acoustics. Nasdaq pretty much lost a datacenter a month ago due to the fire suppression system going off so there's recent, modern, real-word examples of this.
That hissing noise is far louder than you're thinking though. More like if you opened one of the industrial gas (welding) tanks with nothing on it. It's painfully loud and the vibrations are sufficient to crash drive heads.
Yes. Now if only people would expand their thinking outside of the previous 5 second news clip maybe they would understand that better.
Oh fine, here's an analogy... erm meme, call it a meme since that's how people thing today: Nuclear weapons can kill millions. Enough countries have them that they point them at each other... and then go work things out by other means. No one would every use one because they know they'd get one shot back at them...and the idiot who eventually does despite that is going to go splat and cease to exist.
Gun control laws don't hurt either. Venezuela and Nicaragua both passed blanket gun bans, and their violence levels are a fraction (as in 1/1000) of what they were before the bans. NYC has a blanket gun ban, and is the safest place in the US, even in rural areas.
Bullshit
Maybe a bit oversimplified, but accurate. Venezuela is frequent riots, tons of violent crime, and banning guns did nothing to make it better. Many argue it made things worse. GP is just making up nonsense information.
NYC is not the safest place in the USA nor does it have rural areas (wtf, urban and rural are completely different). Yes, i found the google search that lists it as the safest big city and then goes on to not provide any information behind the decision. Besides that, what's making NYC safer is the 10's of thousands of cops and the M4 automatic rifles many of them carry around on a daily basis in heavily trafficked areas.
Go to times sq. Pick any spot you like to stand. Look around. From any vantage point i bet you can see at LEAST a half dozen cops in full tactical gear standing around.
Guns make people safer, not the opposite. Gun training makes guns safer to use and own. Mental health and general healthcare plus a society that gives a fuck about it's citizens makes people less likely to turn guns on their own.
Sadly, making guns harder to buy wont help. That's treating the symptom, not the cause.
....
The reason gun control works in Australia and the UK (sorry gun nuts, it does work) is because the Australian and British people saw it was the right thing to do after incidents like Port Arthur (AUS) and Dunblane (UK).
Eh? Statements seem to be a wee bit contradictory.
Not only that, but it's false equivalence. It completely ignores all the cultural and historical differences between them and the US. It also ignores the politicians in the US always feeling the need to Do Something. Even after they've done something which worked just fine...and thus why no one trusts them.
There are plenty examples of it NOT working. The countries often referenced as 'examples' also have majorly difference social structures, government, and so on while plenty of countries that prohibit guns entirely still have either gun or other weapon-based crime...and lots of it.
Hell, the UK is currently trying to convince people that knives are too dangerous and to turn them in because there's too much knife crime. Examples like that are why the NRA is so uncompromising in their stance. Unlike many others, they actually see what will happen... and how it's not actually effective.
The NRA has a firm stance on not restricting gun ownership because of the endless game that politicians play making things "better" which always goes much too far.
With that said, the NRA certainly supports responsible gun ownership. Before all this hysteria many high schools had rifle clubs which, of course, taught gun safety. By restricting guns, they've equally restricted access to education about this.
I'd rather they spent $4m on teacher salaries, improved equipment for the students, and school supplies...or things like bullying and assault and quality food for the children to eat.
But nah...one politician is in bed with another and their buddy sells these systems so free government money 'for schools' is just lining their pockets as usual.
But i'm sure you've lost cash due to losing it. Or having it stole. Or fire. Or any of the things that can happen to a physical item that you can't personally duplicate.
Why in the world would you need hundreds of supercharger stations in every parking lot? You do realize that average driving habits mean a person can go about a week without charging if they treated it like a gas vehicle right?
If charging spots become more ubiquitous and people can charge where ever they go there's no need for ultra high power charging either....25 miles to the mall where you spend two hours is very easy to 'fill up' without high power charging.
It amazes me how people apply ridiculous standards to EVs and then dismiss them as impractical.
Except who has a gym to shower off in their office when real estate is so expensive businesses are building 'open seating plans' under the outright lie that employees favor that when it's simply an excuse for higher density seating? Bicycle 'parking' in a garage/secure place is about $200/month. Offices don't have bike parking...and if you leave a nice bike chained up for a day it's not unusual to have it stolen or at least damaged significantly...even in heavily populated areas.
Another person who doesn't live in NYC explaining to everyone 'how things work'.
Yah, they run 24/7/365... except when they don't. Except for the dozen or more closure, re-route, skipped station, etc. posters you see in every announcement area. Except for trains that run every 20-30 minutes on a modified route that requires 2 or 3 train changes to get where one direct train normally would during the late hours of that '24'. So that 45-60 minute trip can become 2+ hours at night. It's literally faster to ride a bicycle. Much faster.
Oh, and rush hour where trains come often...except when they don't or get stopped - or stuck! Delays are rampant to the point that people are frequently late for work despite leaving what should be plenty of leeway. Traffic is more consistent than the MTA.
Oh, and I've ridden the tube plenty in london. Their night time trains still run MUCH more frequently (granted with fewer stops, but they cover the core of london pretty well). Coming from NYC I was amazed at how much easier it was to get around on the tube. Same for Hong Kong.
Oh...and NYC subway platforms, stations and generally everything but the new cars are disgustingly filthy. Even just the dust and dirt on the ceiling (much less tracks) is appalling and simply not present on any other subway/train system i've been on around the world.
The MTA doesn't get a pass on fucking up everything just because they keep a few trains running vaguely where they should be with huge delays 24/7/365
Yeah? How about when they DO have a line shut down and STILL have warning crews (apparently 3 people on either side) doing nothing? Well, there's technically one guy holding the orange flag so that counts as doing something until they inevitably wedge it somewhere and go back to doing completely nothing.

As opposed to ticking off a box in your settings and tapping the apk in your downloads folder?
Oh wait, there is no downloads folder on Apple. Never mind.
If Steam proves popular enough on Android and/or they come to some kind of arrangement apple may eventually fold.
