They decry oppression and then decry the capitalism that is rapidly alleviating most of it.
Every country that has industrialized has gone through growing pains. The people that migrate to the factories were literally subsistence farming the previous day.
The suicide rates at Chinese factories that the left went ape-shit over just a few years ago... has never been as high as the suicide rate on American college campuses.
Today they are going ape shit over Trump telling the police to commit more acts of brutality, but are not going ape-shit over the applause and cheers that he got from the thousands of police officers that he was talking to. It was practically a standing ovation, but the left is crying about Trump and isnt saying shit about the reaction Trump got which is clearly a far more disturbing thing. The left are pretenders. Fake alarmism.
Samsung and TSMC have both already beaten Intel to 10nm production.
Other companies are skipping 10nm and going right for 7nm, Intel has no chance of being first to 7nm either.
Intel has been a generation ahead in process since the Core series but pickled themselves chasing 10nm Tri-Gates, a tech that may never be profitable. AMD is already doing 10nm business in the console space, and this desktop Ryzen is just 14nm so far.
Intel is also in big trouble due to the branding. Soon to be a generation behind in the desktop space, and no hope of turning things around before 5nm. This lasting negative perception upon the brand will be devastating to profit margins, and at a time when they will need the money the most.
All I know is that billions of people alive today have already stared directly into the sun.
There isnt a blindness epidemic in spite of this fact. Have you ever heard of an actual case of someone actually going blind from looking at the sun? I'm sure that a case or two actually exists, but I think that in general that it is very difficult to blind yourself simply by looking at it.
If looking at the sun so easily blinded people, every neighborhood would have a number of blind people.
You rarely have sample sizes large enough in the biological or social sciences to do anything at a "six sigma" level.
Crying about how unfair a standard is to your chosen methods isnt much of a persuasive argument. Some might argue that the standard should be inconvenient for the lowest common denominators Some might even argue that the standard should be inconvenient for everybody.
Intel is in serious trouble, but not just because it is no longer a generation ahead on process tech. Sure, soon they will even be a generation behind, but thats not their biggest issue.
Their biggest issue is that as a vertically integrated company they can't be part of Pure-Play and there arent any IDM opportunities. If it isnt branded Intel, then it doesn't come out of an Intel fab. All of Intels older fabs are grossly under-utilized while Pure-Play foundries like TSMC can keep all their fabs old and new running 24/7.
Being behind on the technology is a surmountable problem. Being behind on the business model isn't.
It seems to me that the support cost of keeping paint mainlined cannot possibly be enough to justify losing the foot in the door that they have, as paint is a commonly used tool. My guess is quite large numbers of people use it for a wide assortment of simple activities. Cropping, rescaling, adding text, blurring sensitive info, and so on.
In a very real way the paint program is dead as there are extremely few people actually using it to paint. But those other uses require a tool and I really dont understand why Microsoft would want to opt out of providing that tool. Seems like a no-brainer.
He apparently doesnt know that there is a difference between a civil tort and a criminal trial.
You cannot sign away your right to free speech, but you can sign up for a penalty or two.
Contract law is all about keeping people "whole".. and yes thats a legal term. If you sign a contract and then break that contract, the judge is going to try to make the other party "whole" again. It doesnt matter one bit that the thing you promised to do entails exercising one of your rights.
The judge cannot make you shut up nor can the judge cannot make you say things that you don't want to say. However the judge can and will award the plaintiff a pile of money and can and will seize your assets if that becomes necessary. If you think that the 1st amendment is all you need to get out of a contract, then you are in for a rude awakening.
See, "average effective" meaning "yeah, not the tax rate" ,br>
The point is that not everyone gets those tax deductions. Startups in this country pay the highest rate in the world no matter how many times you try to refute it with bullshit.
The presumption that all immigrants are trying to melt into the pot seems to be prevalent in the correct-speech world. However there doesn't seem to be any reason to believe that refugees in particular want to melt away into your pot. Refugees didn't intend to be in your pot.
Refugee camps are not internment camps. We used to know what to do when a million fleeing people showed up on our borders.
That isnt quite the way it is in the U.S. Above a certain size a corporation can buy into the tax breaks that are said to lower our "actual corporate tax rates" below officially being the highest in the world.
Small to mid-sized businesses generally dont get any of those breaks. America has a very hostile tax environment for small to mid-sized businesses. The highest rates in the world. These arent VAT taxes but they are quite similar in actuality. A tax on profits might as well be a tax on added-value.
The U.S. tax code is abysmal. Its just one big collection of rewards and punishments really. Disgusting.
The assertions made in their gender studies classes are facts.
Its going to be a cruel world for many of these kids. Not their fault. In a romance-style novel, the pseudo-intellectual gender study professors, aka Marxists, would be the first against the wall when the "politically correct" police are expunged.
I don 't know about any blacklist, but if it were to happen then the plugins would become the name-your-own-plugin plugins. Good luck blacklisting that sort of scenario.
Kodi needs to deal with the fact that its not like those other media kits. Those other kits are locked down at least reasonably well. Kodi can never be locked down without becoming just like all the other media kits, and you can be sure it will then easily lose the locked-down competition to the already established players.
The amount of "pirating" via Kodi is only going to increase. At some point there is going to be a legal showdown.
Pragmatically, if it is not possible to avoid infringing on Qualcomms patents, then the industry must have let Qualcomm have this position in exchange for something. It don't think its a good idea to ever let patent holders infringe on the patents of other patent holders. Can't let it happen.

I think this in general a non-issue. People cutting the cable cord dont consume much local programming to begin with. Thats why they had cable.
The lefts "view" of China is so fucked up.

I thought you said you try not to buy from oppressive regimes. USA is oppressive too.
Yeah but we turned it into an Olympics.

I suspect that you are 1 cruise missile away from being wrong.

I would like to see an effort made to make it impossible to seize the data.
Early predictions of climate change forecast drought everywhere.
The next data point will always be alarming. Its caught in the clutches.

At these levels, the coherence will be responsible for many causations.
What if you deny it? How can they prove what you believe (or not?)
You are a Muslim if you are on the List of Muslims.
If you deny it then you are a Denier that is on the List of Muslims.
Everyone on the List installs the Spyware. Deniers too.
You can be added to the List of Muslims at any time.
However they are seen as a threat as they are not part of the Han ethnic group that the current chinese government comes from.
The larger problem is that even the Han arent safe. It's not a racism issue, its a rights issue. China is still very much totalitarian.

Would it make sense to make tool(s) to do the tasks more efficiently.
The amalgam of all those tools looks exactly like a simple paint program.

Pretty sure being a Registered Democrat makes a person a Democrat. In fact, pretty sure that it is the only thing that makes a person a Democrat.

A lot of these math-heavy benchmarks use Intels Math Kernel Library which last I knew still cripples on anything that isnt "GenuineIntel"
