  1. Note he stated speeds in GBps instead of GB/s, which are different by a little over an order of magnitude.

    Now you are confusing GBps with Gbps.

  2. save a 5GB file in under 3 seconds

    1.8GB/s x 3s = 5.4GB

    Read speeds are up to 5.5GBps. Write speeds are up to 1.8GBps.
    Your fast reads are impressive too, but you failed the comprehension benchmark.

    fucking dumb much?

    Doesn't matter. That district will still be the target for "redistricting" because of racism in state government.

    The only racist in evidence here is PopeRatzo (965947) who not only doesn't think that blacks can be republicans, but also thinks that blacks want their own segregated voting district.

    Segregation supported by a Democrat. They just don't change.

    Its probably based on a negative income tax, which I support so long as its tied with a flat tax rate.

    Key advantages include no need for minimum wage laws (the one and only exemption is a disincentive against low wages), is automatically progressive, is dead-simple, and eliminates the need for welfare programs.

    The only tunable parameters are the tax rate, the exemption amount, and the exemption rate. This of course doesnt allow politicians to reward and/or punish, so they will never support it without corrupting it with additional shit.

    I was in Barnes and Nobles last week and passed by the children's book section. One side was labeled boys books and had books about trains, cars and plane. The other was labeled girls books and was about princesses, fashion and poneys.

    You seem to think the B&N is trying to create a divide between the genders, when in reality it is just accepting and tolerant of the differences that already exists.

    Any alarm about there being both a boys and girls section at B&N is just your intolerance showing through. You seem to be unwilling to tolerate a difference between boys and girls.

    When it comes right down to it, there are two primary reasons why a large company would not have a more or less proportional population of diverse worker.

    1) straight up racism - but we are told that corporations are greedy to a fault, not racist.
    2) cultural differences - but to change this you must argue that cultural differences (aka diversity) is wrong, which is racism.

    The idea that Apple or Google is racist is clearly absurd, so we are left with those criticizing Apple and Google as actually being the racists that demonstrably believe that some peoples cultures are wrong. They clearly are arguing that Black culture is wrong for not being nerdy enough, that Asian culture is wrong for being too nerdy, etc. So much for diversity.

    American Liberalism is racism.

  16. Re:Chirality: important. Doing (R)Thalidomide just on Dr. Frances Kelsey, Who Saved American Babies From Thalidomide, Dies At 101 · · Score: 1

    TA portrays Thalidomide as a simple case of 'superior' FDA gate-keeping in the United States that prevented a harmful drug from reaching the market, a drug company dismissing (with hubris implied) what turned out to be serious danger.

    The thing is that we did have superior FDA gate-keeping. While Europe was worried about efficacy we (our FDA) at the time only cared about safety. Thalidomide passed the efficacy test with flying colors. It worked very well. It just wasn't very safe.

    The sad thing is that it was this event that was used as an excuse to transform the FDA into regulating efficacy, the very thing that would not have prevented thalidomide from being sold (see Europe.) Since then, safety has taken a back seat. We are lesser because of it. The Statists shouted "think of the children" and corrupted another department of government. Now nearly all drugs come with a huge list of unsafe side-effects, but at least they "work."

    The FDA would absolutely approve thalidomide today.

    Some stations consumed certain items to make others so over time their stock levels would drop and they would offer more and more money to restock.

    Yet the price of what those stations produced didnt reflect the prices of the raw materials needed, and stations making what should be large profits just swallow the money into oblivion, and when stations should be out of money they magically have an endless supply anyways.

    The elephant in the room is that its not an economy. In an economy the actors are each trying to benefit from their transactions, most transactions are wins for both parties, consequences when they aren't, motivation to eliminate losses, motivation to reinvest gains, and so on. Thats just not happening in these A.I. economies. Its not even close.

    Now, I am a firm believer in duck theory. It doesnt have to work at all like a real economy, all it has to do is look like it does. But again these games fail for the same reasons I pointed out above.

    The best simulated economy in a game that I am aware of was in Capitalism II released over 15 years ago, and even that had serious flaws, but at least the competing A.I. CEO's could go broke and tried not to.
