    Also, it looked to me like the cart was following the horse as there isnt much of a hydrogen economy for challenges to manifest within.

    Politicians, seeking donations, enacted a law specifically to get donations. First they got donations from the plebs, When the pleb money slowed down, they turned to the businesses harmed by the enacted law and sold new legislation.

    This isnt complicated and its why all these young Statists are outright wrong. The government is one of the problems, not a solution. The solution is so little government power that it would be silly to lobby it.

    Try putting your phone in airplane mode some time and try doing the speech-to-text thing with the Google keyboard. It works!

    I think you are assuming that airplane mode works.

    Covington, Smollet, collusion, Kavanaugh.. and long before that, the NBC editing of the Trevon Martin 911 tape, or perpetuating the Mike Brown "hands up don't shoot lie" that even Obama's DoJ said the forensic evidence disproved. CNN wrongly tying Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund. NYT linking political incitement and the 2011 shooting of Giffords. (No link was ever established. ) That's not even the tip of the iceberg.

    It all changed after the press got caught making up documents against Bush.

    It changed because nothing happened to ABC even after their explanation became, and I quote, "fake but true"

    Lets also note that elsewhere on the internet, such as youtube, "deboosting" is also happening.

    AmiMoJo is still repeating the lie that Nazi's were conservatives, a whole fucking decade after everyone but those in tiny bubbles gave up trying to sell it.

    This is the information age. Hitlers campaign speeches are seconds away. Everyone is seconds away from seeing that Hitler said the same shit the american left now says: The rich are evil, we are here for the working class, the state should provide healthcare, fuck the russians, gotta get rid of guns, etc, etc, etc... the list isnt endless but it goes on and on ...

    And now we see the american left here, defending a corporation for censorship.

    The left isnt liberal. We became liberal long ago. It is conservative to want to maintain our liberalism. It is leftist to want to destroy it.

    The CDC website does not have any information that would support not getting vaccinated.

    The CDC admits there can be complications, and this is both (a) information, and (b) a reason not be be vaccinated

    Your problem is that you are calling the conclusion that everyone should be vaccinated "the information."

    This goes right to "we know best." You are an elitist fuck that wants to mother everybody, and somehow you dont find a problem with "we know best" being combined with "but you dont get to question this, and in fact, you dont even get to share the information necessary to know whats best for yourself"

    Let me guess... you are a coastal fuck with a 6 figure salary... we all know the type... you really do think you are better than everyone else... you really do think that you know best... you really are the next wave of fascism in waiting

    Very shortly, 8 GB will be a minimum even for low end cards.

    Bullshit. Complete bullshit.

    2GB-4GB will be the minimum for a very long time, for more than a few very good reasons. It will not magically quadruple on your authority and wishful thinking.

    Honestly AMD is still in the GPU for Gamers game. They just arent in the GPU for Machine Learning game at the moment, which I am OK with.

  20. None have showed up because building the infrastructure is expensive and they'd never make their money back.

    Taking this statement as true, are we still supposed to believe that the existing providers are terrible?

    Pick one. You dont get to have both.

  21. We don't know what the contract said.

    But we do know that if the contract does not specify the penalty, then she will win in court on the matter of not paying the penalty.

    It is that right there, with a full stop. If she has a case regarding the penalty being specified, then we wouldnt be privy to her situation. She may have a case regarding the terrible service obviating her of the penalty, but we can be absolutely fucking sure that the penalty is stated in the contract.

  22. 65816 is only a 16 bit processor. Famous for a variant used in old nintendo consoles, first appearance is actually the Apple IIgs.

    Several IIgs technologies had re-emerged after the IIgs faded, the first being the 65816 CPU used in later consoles, and the other was the Ensoniq DOC2 audio chipset which eventually found itself in the Gravis UltraSound (GUS) as the GF1 (actually based on the DOC3 chipset)

    But honestly, 16-bit... is a non-starter, and in fact 32-bit is also a non-starter.

    I would gladly trade the speculative execution die area for directly useful instructions. Modulo-2 8x8 matrix (64 bits) and 8x1 vector (8 bits) multiplication / transformation are instructions every 64-bit architecture should have, but seemingly only theoretical ones do (MMIX)
