The majority of factory work was/is not skilled... people simply moved from one low skill/education job to another low skill/education job, the kind of jobs which most people have always had.
Also we are running into natural resource limits on consumption of physical goods... so productivity gains in the production of physical goods are removing jobs. The service and IP industries are the only viable alternatives... the latter won't employ a significant amount of people, so the question becomes... how many servants do the rich want?
The problem is that simple reflections can change the orbital momentum of a signal (in fact the simplest way to create a signal with orbital momentum is with a spiral reflector antenna). Which doesn't matter for line of sight or fiber, but the cross talk means you won't get linear scaling with the number of OAM orientations for something like WLAN.
Reminds me a bit of Reiki practices (cultish quack medicine some relatives are caught up in). They word it in pseudo-scientific crap, but trying to change the emotional baggage associated with memories seems to be an important part of Reiki (but again, I only have tangential experience).
In a gas discharge lamp the effect is actually elemental, not dependent on quantum confinement within a particle. You have an elemental discharge sign.
How long before others do the same? Who cares? This isn't rocket science, the actual work going into software and usability research simply isn't expensive... it doesn't need absolute monopolies over basic ideas to make it worthwhile. Simple first to market advantage is more than enough to earn it back.
I don't have GoogleVision, I have a sense of history... we've been through this before. I know that I couldn't even use KDE if Apple (and Xerox) had not lost the first time around... and I know that if Apple manages to make look and feel copyrightable this second time around it's going to make all our lives worse going forward.
Yeah sure, the 30% cut being exactly the same as Apple wants on everything else sold through them is a complete coincidence... the fact that items sold through other venues can't be offered cheaper exactly like their policy for apps in their appstore with in app purchasing... all a complete coincidence.
The agency model has DESIGNED BY APPLE all over it...
Synthetic natural gas (sic) is the more likely intermediary storage of the future (using atmospheric CO2 and H2 from electrolysis). With the added advantage that petrol engines can be cheaply modified to run on it.
The Euro zone is in lousy shape... but hey, at least it manages to pay it's way in aggregate (ie. running a trade balance). When is the last time the US could actually afford it's consumption habits?
The GPL has never really been the issue, LLVM was offered for GPL-Next... but the GCC maintainers have always insisted upon a monolithic compiler without standardized intermediary representations to prevent other compiler builders just using GCC as a front end and thus refused, but that's on the maintainers and not the GPL.
The only reasonable thing was said at the end... by all means off with his head, it's a fucking good start.
That's why the 0.1% is using the media to defend the undefendable, it sets a dangerous precedent... being held accountable even the smallest bit must never even be on the table for them.
Can't really mark up MSAA to anything AMD did, more what they didn't do... they didn't throw as much money at devrel as NVIDIA.
Because of Tim Sweeney's anti-PC stance and the universal adoption of his engine DX10.1/11 truly portable MSAA implementations have been hugely delayed and most devs have chosen to go with NVIDIA's free on site developers and their DX9 MSAA hack. AMD has been able to get this to work on their hardware, but it's artificially restricted to NVIDIA hardware without hacked binaries (which is NVIDIA's right of course, even if it isn't very nice).
Now this is no excuse for customers... if you value MSAA in unreal engine TWIMTP games NVIDIA is unbeatable, but I don't think it's right to say AMD was stupid. Devrel as an anti-competitive force came into force rather suddenly and it simply took them time to adapt, they have been able to get some pretty high profile games away from TWIMTP recently.
Obviously feudalism came first... that said, capitalism is just feudalism with a more even distribution of ownership of productive assets.
Only exponential growth and socialism can keep capitalism from devolving back into feudalism... and exponential growth has hit the wall of peak fucking everything.
Long exposure is not natural motion blur... natural motion blur is what occurs on the retina... something could move across the same angle as a movie screen in less than a second in the natural world and I could keep it unblurred on my retina. When you try looking at something which isn't being tracked by the camera there will always be a mismatch between the recorded motion blur and what the natural motion blur would be.
On top of that you have the problem of judder... 24 Hz is too low a framerate to flash the video strobe like, you would get flicker. So you have to keep the image on the screen for a longer period of time, during this time it's motion less... but if your eyes are trying to track something moving on the screen they don't expect it to be in stop/motion... if you read those books your talking about this is called judder.
Both these problems are diminished at higher frame rates.
Video is not like audio at all, audio engineers have to worry far less about the sampling process... a good binaural recording is virtually transparent with just two channels of 16 bit 44 kHz... video doesn't do that level of transparency period.
Sweden has a progressive tax system which pays for the move... in Russia if you aren't connected to the government you're almost irrelevant, other than to be a moron to be manipulated to give Putin a shine of legitimacy.
Real life indeed is tragic... exactly why the majority of people don't want that shit in their entertainment. As for DEEP, that's just an excuse to not have to fabricate an internally consistent story and introduce needless complexity while letting the audience try to paper over the holes. (Want to bet the epilogue just concentrates on the rest of the crew and leaves the clusterfuck near Earth without closure?) Which is of course bad enough in and of itself, but doing it 15 minutes before the end makes it go from bad to atrocious.
I don't understand the reference to the Matrix... it ended with Neo essentially becoming superman inside the computer... it's open ended rather than tragic ended.
The original ME writer wanted to end the games essentially as TTGL... this was a much better plan... better to rip off something good than invent something bad.
George Lucas succumbed to himself, just like Mac Walters succumbed to himself... the idiots in question are the writers... who paid fuck all attention to what their audience wanted.
The majority of the ME3 "idiot" audience wanted a simple feel good ending... if they had listened to them we wouldn't have had this mess...
China needs Australia more than vice versa (natural resources and agricultural products trump consumer goods). So no, China would not start a trade war with Australia. Just like no one would start a trade war with Saudi Arabia (or with Iran for that matter if it wasn't a prelude to a shooting war).

The problem is that the real thing destabilizes society, the workers resent the non workers ... and the social mores of the non workers deteriorate.
Much better would be a reduced work week, so everyone can get a job ... fat chance though, so destabilization it is.
Scientology doesn't have a whole lot of power except for the unfortunates caught in their web either ... that's not really the point he is making.
Heh, the Masons really came out in force to prove you right ...
Social mobility in the US (and everywhere else) is decreasing ... there are a lot of golden spoons.
Having a paper print out which can be checked by the voter works well enough.
They aren't talking about non planar FETs ... their 3D NAND requires a far higher anisotropy (the whole 1 km deep 3 m wide bit).

IMO L2ARC is just a little too primitive for subset caching for permanent storage ... what is needed is a mix between MFU and Superfetch.

It's worth it for people who develop code under it (DUH).
