Climate change is real. Humans have little to no role in it. If you want to point your finger at the largest cause, point it at the sun. Earth was much hotter in the past. It also had much more CO2. Life THRIVED.
I have seen no politician fight for any policy that would increase energy production and decrease pollution. Everything they do is about money. Invariably, handing more of mine to someone else, and often someone else in another country so they can keep polluting.
We need nuclear and hydroelectric. Solar and wind are terrible options. They're low output, sporadic, require energy storage, require huge swaths of land, and have huge negative impacts most people don't consider (such as mining and production impact for solar panels, and constant maintenance for windmills).
Nah, AMD let Nvidia sit on their ass that long, and all Nvidia had to do was rebrand their machine learning cards. They didn't even design and fab something new based on that architecture. They just gave people cut down chips and said the tensor cores would run raytracing (via Nvidia's proprietary, game-crippling middleware RTX) and shitty AI upscaling that's worse than regular upscaling (DLSS).
Anyone buying a new GPU now is a fool! Navi will be out, and it'll likely disappoint, but it'll at least be a 7nm GPU. Nvidia will likely trot out their 7nm offerings in the fall. These will blow anything AMD has out of the water, but Nvidia will probably charge way too much for them, so some of the Navi parts may bet better for a given price point.
Note that AMD already release 7nm GPUs in the compute-focused Vega cards and their Radeon VII rebrand. This is Vega. Vega is shit. It is hot, expensive, and not very fast. As an AMD fan I must warn the world. Do not buy Vega.
The only possible reason anyone should consider Vega is if they can secure the deal with the 3 free games (not in all markets, some retailers are already out of codes, some retailers simply never give them to you, etc.) and you want or can easily sell them. I'm not touching The Division 2 because it's just The Division 2.0. The Resident Evil 2 remake I already have (it's fantastic). I've never cared about Devil May Cry.
There's some jackass going around trying to convince everyone of that, and he's dedicated his life to eradicating all instances of "comprised of" from Wikipedia, and the shitty "news" articles that covered his efforts are almost assuredly why you "know" this "fact".
But that jackass is WRONG! The usage of "comprised of" is perfectly valid, and has been in standard usage for ages. It comes from the Latin comprehendere, and basically means to bring shit together (com) before (pre) taking it (hendere). Comprise means to collectively make up, form, or constitute.
3 books that comprise a volume are the 3 books comprising that volume, and that volume is comprised of (or by) those 3 books.
The only thing you are even close to correct on is the idea that "com" may imply completeness, as in "complete". But you're still wrong because "complete" itself refers to the fucking groups of soldiers that absolutely did have things not included. When 10 guys die or are incapacitated you would complete your unit by adding more from your slaves / subjects that weren't initially included. Hell, a unit of soldiers is also known as a "complement". Complete doesn't mean everything is included, but that nothing necessary is missing. Thus a GPU "comprised of" 1408 CUDA cores is perfectly valid as long as they didn't sell it as a GPU that should have more CUDA cores. They have different SKUs for that.
Pi has not yet been proven to be a normal number. It probably is, but we might be surprised to find it's not after the 32nd trillion digit:)
And our rules for computing it haven't been proven to true. For all we know we're making some arbitrary constructable number while the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is something else once you get to the grain of spacetime.
It takes one programmer to write a search as good as Google's.
It takes dozens of staff and hundreds of managers, PR reps, lawyers, etc. to incessantly tweak, alter, game, and censor the results in order to deliver an end result as bad and politically-gamed as Google's.
The problem with raising your own chickens for meat is you have to kill them yourself (or have someone do it for you). I'm certainly not opposed to it, and would do it if I had to, but most people today wouldn't have the stomach for it. Beyond that, there's all the mess involved. I'd rather just pay a bit extra for the hormone-free, antibiotic-free, free-range local hippy farm meat.
Your best bet for supermarket tomatoes is those with a lot of vine still attached. Otherwise, you can try your luck at a farmer's market, but if you have an actual farmer's market near you then the stuff in at least one local supermarket will be pulling from the same crop.
The problem is that Dragalia is a pretty shitty game. The best thing about it are a hdnful of the music tracks. The gameplay is completely pointless and amounts to nothing but a chore. The story is the most generic and pointless you can imagine. The draw of the game is gambling to buy sexy/cute animu girl characters.
The problem is that there are so many other games that do it better. Fire Emblem Heroes, for example, is a great game, with a better (but still generic and predictable) story, better animu girls (and guys) that actually rise to waifu (or husbandu) status, and the game gives a lot more for less monetary investment (or none at all).
Dragalia can't even get its notifications on Android to display in English.
"The right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins."
Wrong. If someone has a right to swing their fist, them hitting your nose won't remove that right. They will simply be held responsible for the individual incident if hitting your nose was deemed to be a criminal act or if they are deemed culpable for damages. They will still be able to swing their fist.
Like parents who don't vaccinate do so because they are noticing signs of autism and sometimes they are right. Or something else entirely. In either case, you can't claim both that there is no link and that vaccine cuts down on autism. If authors really wanted to claim no link, they should have said that the difference is below statistical noise at their sample size.
Correct. And it's a meta study, of course.
If you want to claim no link you need to take a random sample of n kids, give half vaccines and half placebos, then compare autism rates while controlling for other factors (like family history of autism).
That is repeatable. That is falsifiable. That is science. That will not happen.
Sure, if you also let those "idiots" sue whoever gave them the disease in the first place. And if you also let everyone sue drug manufacturers for side effects, prescribers for over prescribeing or incorrectly prescribing, etc. Might as well sue the sun when you get sunburn.

Seriously. They're no better than the people trying to film leprechauns or bigfoot.
I'm not watching that.

They should have all been grounded, worldwide, the instant the second plane crashed.

1 in any base is 1.
A number in its own base is 10.
What about base 1 / unary?
1 is 1 (or |), not 10 (or |0 or | ). There is no 0.
Whenever I install mIRC, I still go to the about dialog and type "arnie".
Yup!
I've heard tell that slapping in "0" was marginally faster (and thus infinitely superior) than "0.0.0.0". Maybe that's only on Windows boxes?

Woosh.
Weather is not climate! The entire state of CA being cold and wet for months on end does not mean a DAMN THING when talking about climate!!!
6 months from now: CA had the hottest August in the last 11 months! CLIMATE CHANGE!!!11!!
Uh, just use the "waste" in lower-yield reactors.
It's "dangerous" because it's still active. It's "waste" because it's not fully utilized.
The concept of "nuclear waste" simply is not a problem for modern reactor designs.
