So can we drop the act now? The media is completely corrupted, it is 100% a tool / weapon to be used against you.
Welcome to gamergate. Here's your complimentary patriarchy card. You'll receive your shrieking harpy attacks in the next 2h-4 weeks, with claims that you're a sexist, racist, misogynist, racist who's worse then ISIS and Nazi's. And in the next 2 weeks, you should receive the first attempts to have you fired from your job for not following the narrative and speaking out against the system.
Why? That would put more people out of work, we will have less competition, less access to unique content and more reliance on just a few monopolies that simply copy one anothers content. Let me guess you work for Facebook, Microsoft or Google?
Because the entire dotcom industry needs a massive correction again. Uber being valued at half the valuation of Intel? More then Ford, GM, or Chrysler? Not seeing a problem here. It's pets.com and their ilk all over again.
The same way London, Ontario lost two major manufacturing plants to Woodstock, Ontario. Sticks up their ass, humming and hawing, wanting special "handouts" to particular groups/organizations and so on. In Woodstock's, case it's how they ended up with 4 Toyota manufacturing plants, 3 Toyota Engineering plants, and a place called Sysco. Sysco manufactures processed food for hospitals/prisons/restaurants and so on. Or semi-processed(i.e. raw, but flavored requires cooking). It's the same bullshit that nearly cost Ingersoll, Ontario the CAMI manufacturing plant to Woodstock. Until the council there saw that it would really benefit them.
So now you're saying that in order to use green energy, we should run thousands of km of wire to sources where there is no population in order to produce it. Which of course then becomes a prime target for terrorists/thrill seekers/etc to cause damage to the equipment. FYI, in most of the "cold parts of the world" most green energy sources rank between terrible, no good, useless, or fucking useless. Unless you're in Iceland then geothermal works great. In Canada, most of the country has some form of hydroelectric which works -- unless the winter becomes so cold that it freezes up(does happen every 5-8 years). Top that out that if you want to build any of that stuff, those environmentalists are going to start crying over the death of snuggly bunny #1278 that some activist told them would lose their home.
The absolute stupidity of the entire environmental movement can be discovered by looking at Line9 in Ontario. Where a pipeline that's been moving product from south to north has operated for 30 years. But the second that they want to reverse the flow because a better, safer, and newer pipeline had been build. And the old one would be used at less capacity. The environuts break from the woodwork decrying manmade disasters of all kinds, and the deaths of thousands.
Solar works really good when you have 83 days in a row overcast, and lots of snow. Or 3-5 hours of direct sunlight in the winter too right? And tidal works very well in landlocked places like Manitoba or Alberta. And geothermal works very well on those chunks of Canada where the rock is 3.5-4B years old and is nice and geologically dead. Hell geothermal is incredibly and hugely hit or miss even in the rockies of western canada. At least with nuclear reactors, you can have that replacement fuel sitting there.
OK, so just WHERE has nuclear actually worked long term? Ignore Chernobyl and Fukushima for a bit - even with various and disparate types of governments and payment options, civilian nuclear has gone exactly nowhere. Well, not exactly nowhere, but hardly to the point where it was 'too cheap to meter'. IIRC, that was precisely the terminology that nuclear power adherents were spouti
Canada? South Korea? Take your pick. The medical reactor near Ottawa that supplied around 50% of the worlds supply for specific radioactive isotopes used in cancer treatment is over 60 years old. The new reactor that was supposed to replace it has had multiple problems...almost all of them due to NIMBY's and environuts complaining about the new reactor. Even about the old reactor -- when they wanted to upgrade and have a 4th safety pump and storage fallback...environmentalists were protesting that. So that old reactor keeps chugging alone. Then there's places like Bruce Nuclear 2nd largest nuclear generating station in the world. It's been in continuous operation since 1977 at one reactor or another(8 reactors total), and they're looking to expand and build 4-8 new reactors to go along side the existing ones. It's also the 2nd cheapest operating per kWh plant around, including referb costs for B1 and B2, it's around $0.07-0.08kWh(base price is around $0.04kWh). Compared to solar which has an initial cost of between $0.52-1.50kWh in "recuperation costs" for the deployment.
Well my ~6 year old smart phone could run as a PC too. Not a very powerful PC, but still all the same. The entire premise of the article is that their phone is supposed to be some uber-powerful pile of shit, but it likely won't even reach the bar of a PC from 5 years ago. It's just the same marketing bullshit that console makers like to try with PC's, when current market PC's could beat the "next gen" consoles right out of the gate and for $300-400 -- the same price that those consoles were selling for.
AMD in 90s? Once i586s came out AMD was nowhere to be found.
Thanks for showing you're very young, and have no idea of what you're talking about. AMD were the ones who created a compatible CPU at half the cost and worked on the same boards as intel...in the 90's. Then there was the Slot 1 and Slot A bit.
Don't think for a minute that AMD wouldn't do the same were they in Intel's shoes. They play nicer because they're the underdog right now.
Their past history seems to show that this is their corporate policy. If you're young, then you don't remember the AMD of the 80's and 90's when their CPU's were king and Intel was the one on the verge of bankruptcy.
It was a shitty movie, but that was no excuse for the way Leslie Jones was treated by Milo and his alt-right army of online goons.
You mean all those anti-white things that she was spewing? Or the part where she was a primary instigator in it. Strange how she's still on Twitter, but people who posted exactly the same things that she did have been banned. Just a FYI though, Milo is as much of a "alt-right" as you're a nazi.
Funny story. A company I used to work for back ~10 years ago, had multiple failures across machines(heavy industry) where the PLC would wipe. Wasn't caught in engineering, wasn't caught in QC. The problem went on for months, the only solution in the short term was to send out new eeprom modules when it happened(expedited overnight). The problem ended up being a design/part issue, where in certain power-down cycles, the primary relay would backfeed. Ended up having to dump the company that made the relays and go to another brand. This only happened on 600V-3ph machines, didn't happen on anything using 208V, 360V or 480V.
So your complaint is that that those groups have good taste in movies?
Nope. My point is that the media, reviewers, flappy headed socjus, and other assorted fools believe that it's "anyone's fault but ours" as to the reason that something has failed. Instead of people simply looking at what they're producing/saying/etc and saying NOPE. Not gonna deal with any of this bullshit.
That's because we're hitting multiple problems. We have heat, die size, and electrical limitations(bleed over in the substrates). It means in the end, that having multiple physical cores on one chip is the only direction that things will be going until those other problems can be solved. There's also the other issues with memory across the system bus being too slow and causing problems. HBM solves some of those issues, but it's still too cost prohibitive to use on CPU's at least right now. Where in the case of GPU's it's not.
What's the difference between AMD and Intel? Intel believes that information should be patented and sold. AMD believes that it should be patented and used as a industry standard -- while giving that patented information away. Keep in mind that it was Intel who was also sued successfully multiple times by AMD for antitrust violations, price fixing, operating an illegal monopoly and fixing benchmarks(both simulated and real world). Pretty sure there's a few others I'm forgetting, just a FYI Intel has lost every case. Not just in the US but in the EU and JP courts as well.
Or...it could be that it was just a shitty movie, and the entire marketing idea was to release shitty trailers, attack your audience, then double down. I'm sure that's a winning strategy, it worked against Trump, and for Brexit right? It sure looks like it's a winning strategy in the NL and DE elections coming up too.
White knights can often appear a bit creepy. That said though: #NotAllWhiteKnights
Considering the ones who've attached themselves to the anti-gamergate stuff? It's #allwhiteknights. Then again, I could never understand the point. They're the first ones who will say that "women are strong, independent and don't need men for protection!" And be right there, defending women and hoping to be praised for it. Virtue signaling at it's finest.
Its you who are talking about two completely different things as if they are the same. Not that I blame you overly. Reading through that other Fox link, it looks like some people have gone through a lot of effort to frame things in just that way. This is why good brain hygene demands that you avoid Fox News.
No. You seem to misunderstand that the context is the election -- that this entire premise the article itself, the context of the discussion is based around that. Not going back to 2008. So you of course then caught the part in the article where it stated that they're refusing to offer any information to intelligence committees? Yep, very good. This is why you read more then one source and step outside of your echo chamber, usually more then once every 5-8 years. And it's also why it's so easy when someone is a partisan hack, and starts whining over only one source of media. Or uses things like "faux news."
Notice the part where they're refusing to disclose any information to the house intelligence committee which has those security clearances? Enjoying that gigantic red flag yet?
Please look at what they provided. There is literally no evidence given in the document, not even an attempt. They make up some names, put them in a diagram and say that is proof. They didn't even try.
Yep. It's 13 pages of absolute garbage containing no proof of anything. If people need an example of propaganda and fake news though? That's the bullshit being pumped right there.
And since we're running dry on the news cycles right now, you're likely going to be spot on. The flappy heads in the media will push--and push hard that this is proof. You're also likely going to hear the various progressive groups trying to use it as an attempt that "Trump is illegitimate" or some other steaming pile of BS. The kicker? Part of the source is a 3rd party investigation...from an outside group, that was paid for by the DNC. Not actual intelligence analysis, not actual attributable information.
Easy. They know it's not the Russians, rather it was likely actors working within the US, Canada or Europe that were behind the phishing attack. The entire thing screams "I'm going to fuck shit up so much for Trump, that he'll spend the first 2 years trying to un-fuck my mess." Of course, Russia will likely do nothing since Obama is out in ~23 days or so and wait for that actual political reset to kick in.
Yeah, except he didn't. The difference between Stalin and Hitler was their definition of the "ism" much like how the difference between Mao and Khrushchev was the difference on the best form of "ism."

Yeah, it sure worked out for Iggy when he was trying to run as the PM of Canada too. He sure put Harper in his place..right?

That's easy to answer. Virtue signaling and oppression points.

Ah, you mean the fake tweets that got Milo kicked of Twitter
No I mean her real tweets. You enjoy that boundless hypocrisy in action now. Bonus: Someone else repeats her garbage word-for-word gets banned.
It was a shitty movie, but that was no excuse for the way Leslie Jones was treated by Milo and his alt-right army of online goons.

Ghostbusters (2016) disproved this.
Well that's because the trump supporters, misogynists, racists, bigots, homophobes, sexists, gamergators, alt-right, nazi-kkkers were all raging against it don't ya know. Don't take my word for it, take it from the directors, actors and some more stuff and movie/review/news sites mouths--among others. That it's all their fault that it was a failure.
