We're withdrawing from the institutions we created because of decades of negative feedback from people just like you.
Errrr no. Actually America doesn't get much negative feedback at all for the institutions it created and the rest of the world jumped to participate in. Right now the only abuse America is getting is precisely for abandoning those institutions.
And the rest of your comment is nonsense given the stupid premise of your post.
LOL whatever you think. I don't see where he vindicated Elon for using the language that he did.
But congradulations you found one arsehole on the internet. Hurray. You're still an idiot for applying a group label to him. No go look at all those other "Musk apologists" of which there are many on that same page saying exactly what I am: Not appologising for the pedo remark while siding with him all the same.
Not quite. Data is a complex word that is both a plural and singular like deer or a sheep.
Dollars on the other hand is a plural and using "was" is objectively wrong despite it being used quite commonly. Mind you I could care less about these English debates.
People who use it differently either knowingly choose to (which is fine with me) or they are ignorant.
The funny thing about the english language, when enough people chose to do something either knowingly or through ignorance, it becomes the dictionary definition which is incorrect.
No seriously. It's obvious to me and you and probably lots of Slashdot, but the world is full of ignorant masses that can't differentiate between legitimate news and this form of what can only be described as infotainment. Furthermore there world is full of non-ignorant people who none the less will latch on to anything they believe with the unstoppable force of confirmation bias.
To both of those very large groups, access to this kind of missinformation is outright dangerous. The problems arise when the missinformation has an obvious political alignment.
The RTX 2080Ti has 19% more FLOPS than the 1080Ti... and costs 54% more money.
It has 19% more FLOPS. That's the end of it. The top end of the market of ANY PC component has always been a long tail in terms of performance per dollar. 54% more money is irrelevant if you actually need the 19% more performance. It is also how trickle down technology has always worked. You want the 19% performance but don't want to spend the money? Come and ask me about it in 2 years.

If you think that a market can implode and a few months later a new product is announced I have a bridge to sell you. It's not there yet, but I can build it for you in a week if you want.
AMD: your market share is going to be rising with these prices.
Holy shit. Seriously, Nvidia?
Why would it? In the high end the The RX Vega 64 is outperformed in both raw speed and price by these offerings. The only thing laughable here is AMD's high-end offerings and in the low end both companies are price competitive.
Yes. China is bad, right until you realise how many people live in China and that you entitled arseholes like to blame others while topping the list of emissions per capita.
Supporting e911 doesn't specify a required accuracy. The law is met by turning on location services as soon as you dial 911. I read somewhere a while back that's how Advanced Mobile Location services are implemented for emergency response in Android. TTF on GPS with A-GPS is shorter than the call setup time to emergency services.
Climate change? Who cares about that. If climate change weren't a thing we should push for this anyway. Give me lower noise, cleaner air, no dust, particulates, NOx or Ozone anyday.
Don't confuse technological development with a single outcome.
The drive on one side is to prevent rent-seeking. The driver on the other is to become the landlord. It's not a case of paying royalties or not. It's a case of paying royalties or being paid royalites. There is no "do nothing" case which doesn't involve the long term demise of Uber's business as a cheap people mover (which is also why they expanded beyond moving people).
A product is cheap, however preferential treatment to a whole series of products produced by a certain manufacturer under certain brands are quite lucrative, and the medical system in the USA is well known for kickbacks as well as other benefits given directly to GPs by the industry.
It stands to reason that eventually the charger starts to overcharge the cells without knowing that there's vastly reduced headroom.
No it doesn't. The mAh capacity of the battery has no relation at all to it's charging other than with reduced mAh capacity the same charging profile completes faster. The profile is voltage based and does not change over the life of the battery.
Plus there's all sorts of problems with the way the cells are connected. Some will fail ahead of others, but the loss of performance from them is masked by the others and the charger merrily pumps current through the bad cells on the way to the good cells.
Errr no. There's a reason why the cell includes management circuitry at the connectors, and when you use cells that don't, well that's why individual balance connects are brought out to the chargers.
tl;dr I think a proper battery engineer would have their head in their hands at most of the comments in this thread.
Yes I fully agree, but not for the same reason you think.
It's important to remember that just because the American medical industry is infested with corporatism that the basis of their argument still has some truth. Him overdosing you on Vitamin D to make some nice profits doesn't mean you should abstain completely.
The rest of the world which isn't in such a state can provide a quite sane source of information. If it's winter and you live above above the 45deg line then just take a supplement daily like everyone who doesn't see the sun for half a year and move on with your life.

Are you mad? Redundant fibres? That doubles the chance of something getting pulled up by a backhoe.
Obvious to whom?

More than 1/3 of co2 being emitted is from china.

There's no such thing as a civil engineer. We're a truly rude and nasty bunch of people.
scientists say it's microscopic which they always conveniently fail to mention when talking about the magnitude of this problem.
I think you'll find scientists saying it's microscopic IS the magnitdue of the problem.
In terms of climate change
Climate change? Who cares about that. If climate change weren't a thing we should push for this anyway. Give me lower noise, cleaner air, no dust, particulates, NOx or Ozone anyday.
Seriously - it's an algorithm.
No it's not. It is actually the exact opposite.
The metric system is worse, so we don't adopt it.
+5 Funny.

I just cited one example on this very page. A very unambiguous example. You must be thick if you can't follow it up.
I agree. You cited a very good example of your complete lack of reading comprehension.
Actually I do. There you go making silly assumptions again. You really need a clue. You can start with a basic physics textbook.

I'm so conflicted right now, do I moderate up, do I moderate down? ... This is hard.
Actually batteries work exactly that way.
It stands to reason that eventually the charger starts to overcharge the cells without knowing that there's vastly reduced headroom.
No it doesn't. The mAh capacity of the battery has no relation at all to it's charging other than with reduced mAh capacity the same charging profile completes faster. The profile is voltage based and does not change over the life of the battery.
