Of course, but have we hit that inflection point? By all accounts were only slightly behind the times in transistor count in ICs with them doubling every 3 years now instead of every 2. Still very much a large logarithmic gain.
Some pedant always crawls out of the woodwork and starts talking about "transistor density".
You mean pedants like Gordon Moore who invented the law carrying his namesake? But I mean there's no need to take anyone's word for it. errr. Except this guy's: http://www.lithoguru.com/scien... he's kind of a guru when it comes to his own law.
I've been saying that for 8 years. Of course whenever I say it here on Slashdot I get assailed by people who can't accept the truth.
Only because you a) don't understand Moore's law, or b) can't count to 7000000. Moore's law is alive and well and only slightly behind the trend line in the past two years. Even Intel is doubling the transistor count and changing gate size every 2.5 years now instead of every 2 years as Moore's law predicted.
8 years ago? Don't tell me you, a person who's nerdy enough to read news for nerds doesn't understand that the only part of Moore's law is counting transistors. I mean it's not like you confused it with single core performance right? RIGHT?
Germany is spending a ton of money, but they aren't getting results.
They are shutting down nukes while maintaining stable with emissions. That's called results when you want to get rid of nukes.
Per capita, they produce 45% more CO2 than the European Union average [wikipedia.org].
Oooh I love this game. You know watching the UEFA cup the other day I was just thinking those poor Schalke players would have won if we could move goal posts around like that. Let me try too: Per GDP they produce significantly less CO2 emissions than the EU average. There that felt good.
that number is about to get much worse
Based on? Hopes and dreams that your argument makes sense? The wonderful thing about investing in something is that you do it in preparation for something else which is why Germany was producing more green power day and night for the past week than all nuclear power combined continuously to say nothing of the sunny or windy days where they produce between 4-8 fold that amount of power. You should look at Germany's energy mix so you can see how baseless your statement is. Of course it could be really bad and Germany could have emissions as bad as a couple of years ago. I mean it would really not look good to show emissions growth on a country that has been recording negative emissions growth for 20 of the past 27 years.
but is the only way Germany can look good to compare itself to Trumpistan?
Nope, they can look good compared to a lot of countries in a lot of ways. Emissions are damn good compared to OECD average, however green energy investment and green energy growth compared to the rest of the OECD is off the fucking charts to say nothing of most 3rd world countries. About the only one who beats them is China with the massive amount of money being thrown at the problem there.
But sure shit on Germany all you want. I'm sure they'll just process that into bio energy and rub their success in your face.
No I didn't mean block a specific one. I meant block the gTLDs that are being generated or rather the reverse Whitelist the country TLDs. I legitimately believe if you do that nothing will break anywhere.
At least not yet. No doubt Google will screw this idea up so we need to get in before they start making things dependent on their TLD.
Is another man's critical feature. I thought I'd say that here since you wouldn't get the message in animated poo form on your iOS 5 device.
Comparing the floppy based apps to what we get now is absolutely daft. Especially daft considering that modern office loads faster now than anything on floppy ever did, and there's a big difference in capability between apps.
You want a text editor, can I recommend nano or notepad.exe. Personally I prefer something more capable, compatible, and something that I can drive from my couch using an xbox controller.
No his intuition is thinking of all those rail lines you see which are mostly electric. You really need to go bush or down to some nastier parts of the country to find non-electrified railways. Over 50% of the rail network in Germany is electrified. MOST of the goods are moved over exclusively electric tracks. Pretty much all people are. This is really a case of edge cases. Some whole coutnries will refuse transit to non-electric trains, and the biggest ports in the EU are all electric as well.
The German green hype machine is — typical of German propaganda — highly effective.
As it should be. Hype should be quite easy when you generate a fraction of the emissions as the USA, have the second largest wind power system in the world, and the largest solar installation while investing heavily in green power.
France sitting on a tower of nukes doesn't change the Germany's achievements.
No. You were called a nutjob for thinking that every little thing is being recorded in realtime and harvested by a company. You're still a nutjob by the way as none of what you say has come to pass.
Block the gTLD. Seriously how often have you legimitely needed to access to a TLD. Nike own.nike, but frankly I don't even know how to access the damn thing.
There are plenty of things that governments haven't the slightest interest in regulating. You just never find them listed anywhere or hitting the news. You do get some of that if you ever despressed and bored enough to watch CSPAN.
Err yes. One of my gripes is that my smartphone is slow to open 50mpxl images in Lightroom. I know seveal photographers who use their pocket computers as part of their arsenal in photoshoots. My phone is also a bit slow at playing back videos larger than 5K. It could be a bit better for streaming and gaming. When I edit videos for uploading on Instagram it could be a damn site faster. And as it's a work pocket computer and I have actual problems with accessing the schedule for the task I'm doing at the moment as it's a 600page PDF that my pocket computer can't search through.
You lack imagination if you're using it as a phone. And with your lack of imagination you are better off not spending money on something fast. In other news I don't run 100 VMs on my computer so no one cares about Threadripper or Core i9s right? Right?
An economic perfect market exists in theory and is the perfectly unstable form of a market in a capitalist policitcal system. In the absence of any regulation this market will degrade to full monopoly which is the capitalist system's stable state.
You don't need to be the only player to fall afoul of antitrust laws. When you gain critical mass you arbitrarily have the obligation to not use your dominance anti-competitively. Yes Amazon.com ebooks fall into this category. In America, Amazon.com for online sales in general would likewise. In the entire retail market, they do not. The question ultimately is: In the market in which they are operating do they have power created through dominance.
And passwords that have spaces in them would already be broken up in the index.
Why would you assume that? One of the biggest problems with handwriting recognition is the inability to recognise non-dictionary words and unexpected spaces
To be clear 4% of global revenue for Equifax is the equivalent of 25% of its entire yearly profit ($125m). I think you can trust the gut instinct that there is going to be almost no policies out there where the cost of implementation will be this much of a normally operating company's annual profit.
Why isn't everyone perfect?? I'm sure everyone at The New Yorker treats everyone fairly and this Linus Torvalds guy is a horrible monster outlier.
Well yeah. We're all sure of it. When your outbursts and arsehattery becoming the talking point of tech media on a quarterly basis then you usually are a horrible monster outlier. Now when you're done excusing bad behaviour with the strawman of SJW bullshit do come back to the normal world where such garbage is generally not tolerated.
How so? Based on past performance our chocolaty fiend has a long way to go before he oversees security dramas even remotely the size of the previous two CEOs. Sure MS doesn't have a great reputation, but to claim it has become a punchline under Nutella isn't at all backed up by any data, or any of your examples (unless you are confusing the words security and reliability in which case I wholeheartedly continue to disagree since this trend was started with Windows 8 under the watchful eye of the Ranting Monkey).
America in general will be okay with this. You have litigated your way into this corner. The entire country is run on the basis of passing blame and impact to a 3rd party. Whether it be insurance agencies, or private entities subcontracted to gain information to reduce risk.
One of the reasons you're here is due to a lack of dependence on the government to look after you. Instead you turn to the private sector. I used to quip about how America lives and dies on the backs of insurance companies (mostly about the fact that your entire safety is dependent on UL) but I had no idea how right I was.
It would make perfect sense too that insurance companies get obesity rates under control rather than government intervention.
But the EU is AT LEAST equal in how terrible it is.
Oh please do tell. All of us here living in our wonderful "socialism" would love to know why we shouldn't outrank the USA in happiness and well-being indices.

Implementing proper data security would easily wipe at one year's annual profit
No. Paying some overpriced Accenture contractor and buying the resulting equipment needed from IBM will do that.

Any person that pays $1000 for a phone, Apple or not, is bat shit crazy, or bat shit rich.
Fortunately most of us haven't bought phones for many years. Pocket computers which can make calls on the other hand...
A $200 phone does 97% of what an $1000 phone can do.
In terms of dollar per frustration with a slow piece of shit I would say it does more like 297%

No. You were called a nutjob for thinking that every little thing is being recorded in realtime and harvested by a company. You're still a nutjob by the way as none of what you say has come to pass.

Maybe not directly, but the CSDP comes pretty damn close to being an army, and it's powers are expanding.

Yeah but being 100% optional and also quite clear on that feature I don't know what else people thought ticking this box would achieve.
