Then again, if you're cynical, you might see this as "stop, or I'll say stop again". Seems unlikely major telcos will really move in earnest if merely asked to do so, without actual regulatory requirement to do so. Seems likely the FCC's desire to curb this problem will become actual rules under our current administration.
I see this every day on social networking from my liberal friends.
Historically, conservative leaders took the moral high road and measured their words carefully. But now the conservative standards bearer is saying crap like "If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise".
Many more statements called "dog whistles" have been made, such as "If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks... Although the Second Amendment people â" maybe there is, I donâ(TM)t know.â
Now you can say this is all just political hyperbole. You might even try to say it's merely coincidence that violent hate crime is up dramatically over the last 2 years.
But the point isn't about "proof" or causality. The point is trying to understand the opinions, rather than merely dismissing them as "must really really despise conservatives". This sort of speech which is likely to incite hate and maybe leads to violence is reckless. Until only 2 years ago, far outside the norm of what anyone would consider acceptable from the president or other elected officials.
Then again, maybe you'd prefer to believe Republican leaders have acted ethically or may be above questioning. In that case, I suppose the only explanation that fits is some folks must just really really despise conservatives.
I wonder if Bloomberg is publishing these long-swirrling rumors as a news article as a response to Apple uninviting them from the event next Tuesday?
Presumably Apple uninvited them over their shoddy reporting of the fictitious hardware implants in Supermicro's motherboards and the unsubstantiated claim Apple data centers had been compromised.
To say this memory technology is only interesting in terms of IOPS is thinking highly constrained in terms of today's PC architecture.
Long-term Intel's grand plan involves many gigabytes or even terabytes of such storage actually memory mapped, as actual memory. The idea is access not involving traditional I/O operations at all.
The long game looks changing the architecture of software design, or at least giving software developers a very different set of trade-offs which will allow software to be designed in ways not really practical on today's PC architecture.
I personally believe that's extremely interesting.
But if your mindset about computer hardware revolves around shopping, and your usage looks like most consumers who would never reach even the endurance limits of normal NAND flash, then yeah, I guess the only thing interesting about Optane would be the ~3X higher IOPS or ~8X lower latency.
Any chip that's old by "several years" would have at best pcie2, at roughly half the bandwidth per lane of pcie3.
Your 40 pcie2 lanes could still be considered better than only 16 pcie3 lanes, but really not by very much, certainly not enough to call the I/O capability of these newer chips "EXTREMELY low".
If we enter a recession within the next 2 or 6 years, and especially if Obama-era stimulus isn't feasible due to already low interest rates and increased debt & deficits, will you assign any of the blame to Trump?
I'm guessing it'll all be democrats fault, even if they control only the house and can't pass legislation. Even if Republicans manage to hold onto the house and senate next month, will you somehow still try to assign the blame for any downturn to wild conspiracy theories involving Hillary Clinton?
If this current ~3% annual growth, which began back in mid-2009 during Obama's first term, continues with interruption for 6 more years, then Trump will indeed deserve substantial credit, regardless of how distasteful his personality and how childish his Twitter rants may be.
But at this moment, when the USA is most able to pay down its massive accumulated debt and put itself on a financially sound course, Trump and republicans (who repeatedly called for a balanced budget when democrats held power) are racking up huge deficits that are just piling on more debt. They're deregulating the financial sector, which has allowed massive buildup of consumer and student debt. Massive consumer debt, overly leveraged by the deregulated financial "industry" is what caused the great recession 10 years ago (near the end of Bush's tenure). Collectively we all should have learned a lesson, but sadly it seems we didn't.
Has anyone else noticed how journalists seem to love the words "slammed" and "blasted" when quoting sources. They can't write "said" or "disagreed" or "objected" or phrases "offered a different opinion".
No, "Texas ISP Slams Music Industry".
"Slams" and "Blasts" are now the words for simply speaking against anything!
This World Wrestling Federation style language now seems to permeate all manner of mainstream journalism. What's up with that? Maybe it's simply what sells these days? Or maybe journalists copy each other, without critically thinking how their new affinity for these overly aggressive terms really sounds?
> isn't science supposed to be about where the data lead
Yes. But which data?
> instead about what we want the outcome to be?
If you want the outcome to be a certain way, perhaps you'll discard 40% of the data if you discover that 40% tends to give the outcome you do not want, and the other 60% gives the desired outcome.
That's what happened in this study. They intentionally filtered away all the big companies who were required to pay $13.50/hour and only looked at employment from small companies required to pay $11.00/hour. At face value, the study seems to imply these $11 workers lost out on wages. The data does say they worked fewer hours, at $11. But the study doesn't say what those workers were doing with the "lost" employment. Odds are very strong many of them moved from $11 to $13.50 jobs.
No, what we have here (your message) is a hyper partisan upset the one study that confirms his pre-existing bias turned out to be deeply flawed. Of course this article must seem like a liberal conspiracy! The one (and only) study showing job losses just has to be true.
This same thing happens with anti-vax and climate change denial. People who really want to believe these things cling to a small number of discredited studies and insist the large number of others contradicting their views don't exist.
Numerous states and cities have passed substantial minimum wage increases. Most are still gradually phasing in, many reaching $15 around 2020 to 2022. Plenty more studies will be published over the next several years.
I have a feeling you're going to be quite busy denying more and more of them as liberal conspiracy.
People who don't use Macs love to compare tech specs. People who do use Apple's computers tend to compare their overall experience, which includes software, support, and aesthetics and many other human factors.
I'm sure the notion that Macintosh offers *MORE* bang for your buck seems absurd to tech spec oriented folks. But indeed millions of people do indeed buy Macs, iPhones and Apple's other products, because they feel a better product is worth spending a little more.
Rather than "immediately post suggestions", perhaps a slower & more deliberate approach would be better?
Or maybe you're convinced you really do know best, perhaps even reject this comment as merely the uninformed suggestion of someone not fully familiar with the specifics of your suggestions made to open source software projects?
I run a fairly successful forum for tech issues. Indeed, the biggest challenge is getting newcomers to ask better questions. Even small improvements lead to greatly improved results for everyone. Questions demonstrating a sincere effort, even from the most clueless newbie, really bring out people's best, most helpful spirit.
Perhaps I've just been lucky so far to have a relative absence of trolls. There have been a few problem cases. So far, I've found simply speaking from a position of authority like "That's not how we do things here", together with many forum regulars chiming in constructively with strong support has been incredibly effective.
GPU increases can be measured multiple ways. Indeed performance has increased dramatically when you measure by frame rates in AAA games running on Windows.
But what matters greatly for Apple is OpenCL performance. No matter how much you may love certain GPUs for Windows gaming, the reality is Apple build Final Cut Pro on OpenCL.

But you'll have to take it to an Apple Store to have that fresh battery installed.
Didn't Trump promise $4000 to $9000 average pay increase due to the tax cuts?
Anyone notice how much the worded "Blasted" and "Slammed" are used by modern journalism?
Does everything have to read like professional wrestling commentators?
Oh, they can authenticate caller identity. And the FCC is trying.

Two monitors are a deal breaker when you only have desk space for one.

Kinda sounds like comments of the early 1990s when Linux was considered a toy that nobody would ever use "in real life".
The author admits he has shorted nVidia's stock at the very end of the article, on the 3rd page.
The first ~10 years of Macintosh used the Motorola 68000 series microprocessors.

In Capialeest America, za bank robs you.
20,000 jobs is pretty skinny for 350 billion "contributed" to the economy.
Even if all 20,000 of those people are paid $100,000/year, their pay would be only 2 of the 350 billion, or just over half of 1%.
A lot of money will be going somewhere, but probably not to workers.
So I shouldn't upgrade and just stick with my 6 core Sandy Bridge E ?
I paid $600 about 5 years ago.
How poetic that you say "cherry-picked example" ... "proves nothing", in the comments about the flaws in a study that examined only 60% of the data.
Then even better, numerous broad assertions not supported by *any* data or citation.
> isn't science supposed to be about where the data lead
Yes. But which data?

The tone gets even better when the question changes to "I'm trying to learn xyz, and here's what I've already done and where I'm stuck".
Effort matters.

But what matters greatly for Apple is OpenCL performance. No matter how much you may love certain GPUs for Windows gaming, the reality is Apple build Final Cut Pro on OpenCL.
