These tariffs might actually reduce employment in the US. Think about it, US factories aren't going to employ that many people because they cost too much compared to robots, and anyway robots are better at this sort of thing (no hair/skin contaminating the panels, higher precision and consistency etc.)
The jobs are in installing solar panels. But if the panels cost more there will be fewer installed. And less on-going maintenance. And less work upgrading the grid to handle the transition. Manufacturing is really the tip of the iceberg when it comes to solar jobs.
This effect is well understood in politics too. By constantly talking about certain things and framing them in certain terms it is possible to move people's frame of acceptability, which in turns makes it easier to sell them more and more extreme ideas.
As you say, it's not like playing Street Fighter makes you want to go out and dragon punch someone, but there are more subtle effects in play (excuse the pun).
Well, my granddad was a Nazi-puncher back during the great SJW invasion of Europe in 1944, so maybe I'm biased.
That's not an assumption, it's observable based on your comments, your stances, your views. You've gotten a happy little taste of the paradise that you want, and suddenly you don't like it.
So all this protesting about not wanting any of that stuff is actually just cover for me really wanting it, except that actually it turns out I don't want it... This is getting more confusing than Pizzagate.
Precisely, he is reacting to an imaginary SJW claim that I find it extremely unlikely was made in the Google training. We shall find out in due course in court. Hopefully Google will enter the course materials into evidence.
In any case, it's still a misunderstanding of what the study says. It acknowledges the differences, but as the author states they are 90% social, and in any case doesn't think that they are even relevant to job performance or career prospects.
You actually mentioned the other big thing that Intel competes on - enterprise management. The ME makes managing large fleets of computers much easier, and they push it heavily. Intel CPUs cost more and for typical office stuff it makes no difference, but companies still buy them because of the ME or just because their vendor has a deal with Intel.
As for performance, they were already so far ahead of AMD that they really didn't need to make that optimization. By the time AMD caught up it was with Ryzen last year, which doesn't have this problem.
Glad you've come out and labeled yourself an authoritarian that believes in political violence in order to further your ends.
Yes, I definitely wasn't joking. Nothing gets past you.
The UK is your progressive socio-commie philosophy wrapped up in a happy little blanket, it's everything you want.
That's why I'm leaving, I have everything I want and am completely happy with the UK, it fits my personal beliefs perfectly. That makes complete sense. Your assumptions are, as always, spot on.
Hay, I didn't notice that you worked an accusation of racism into the post title. Well done, exemplary.
So yeah, I'm still punching Nazis and all that, but I've given up on the UK. It's fucked. I went to China and noticed that the mass surveillance is pretty much the same. So anyway, I'm leaving, going somewhere that suits my leftist progressive socio-commie philosophy better. Also they won't let my wife immigrate, but it's mostly about the other stuff.
On the other hand it's easy to know what Mashiki is thinking. It's the usual straw man argument, paining the "left" as being paranoid and calling everyone a Russian/Nazi. Ignore the evidence, decry the investigation before it even starts, deflect defect deflect.
Barak Obama not only made very pro-Brexit comments, but also made it very clear that if Britain elected to vote to leave, then Britain would be put to "the back of the queue" when it came to negotiating a trade deal with the US.
It's rather different for POTUS to respond to questions from journalists, and for Russia to create a clandestine propaganda operation to create fake social media accounts. One is done in the open with full knowledge of who is speaking and in what context, the other is deliberately designed to mislead.
And as it happens Obama was right. Despite what Trump later said, he seems to have little interest in the UK and any possible trade deal is likely to be a low priority and extremely shitty. In fact he mentions France about 3x as often in tweets as he mentions the UK.
This vote, which was operated on 100% democratic principles [i.e. of "one person, one vote" - and not the "first pass the post" method used for UK General Elections], was a significantly stronger vote in favour of an outcome than any UK General Election in living memory. For example, when David Cameron [who was Prime Minister at the time] won his second term in office, he secured 44% of the popular vote.
Those things are not compatible, because in the referendum there were only two options and in the GE there were at least 3 options in every constituency, often more.
Since the decision was made the EU has gone out of it's way to try and bully, cajole, frighten or threaten the UK into having a second Referendum to overturn the first decision.
That is flat out untrue. The EU has been incredibly conciliatory, but also consistent and firm in sticking to the rules that both the UK and EU agreed. The main issue for the UK is that the EU has presented a completely united, consistent front from day one, agreeing a position and sticking to it. They had the rules and principals laid out decades ago. Meanwhile the UK cabinet can't even agree on what it wants, and doesn't even appear to know what it wants.
May is out of her depth. After the Brexit vote no-one wanted the job really. They all knew it would be a disaster and were just figured that now was their one and likely only opportunity to be PM. May won by default as everyone else self-destructed, and then found herself with no plan and no idea what to do.
All she could do was repeat meaningless slogans like the infamous "Brexit means Brexit", and set up other ministers to take the fall when the inevitable happened.
The election was a huge misjudgement. She vastly over-estimated her own popularity, her own charisma and ability. She vastly under-estimated Corbyn. And ever since then she has been trying to delay the inevitable, making promises she knows she can't keep.
At this point half the Tory party is trying its best to drive the bus off the cliff, and the other half is trying to desperately limit the damage to avoid being unelectable for a decade. Unfortunately Labour isn't offering much of an alternative on the Brexit issue specifically, and the only way to halt this disaster is to somehow force another election or referendum in the next few years.
The only effective response is to draw attention to it. If people get notifications from Facebook saying "this post you liked and re-posted to all your friends was actually Russian propaganda" it might alter their behaviour and views on the subject. It might make them think twice next time.
It's not a normal design compromise. AMD isn't affected by Meltdown because they did it right, Intel cut corners to get a small performance boost that they didn't need.
Worse still, Intel's botched microcode fix can brick systems. Apparently 7 months wasn't enough to properly test it.
JPEG uses RLE for entropy coding. Some compression tools, e.g. StuffIt and paq8px, improve on the use of RLE with specialized Huffman coding and by doing some re-arranging of the data. That allows them to losslessly compress JPEG files by 30% or more.
Of course, JPEG files do use Huffman coding, but it's much simpler and no used for entropy coding.
Take a look at the source code for some of the best performances on this list for details of how this is done: http://qlic.altervista.org/LPC...

Photoshop saves artists time. They are familiar with it, there is a huge amount of support from the community, thousands of plug-ins etc. Changing would reduce their productivity and the quality of their work.
So Adobe can get away with a lot, because like Windows it has to get really bad before it makes financial sense for most people to switch.
A format that can be losslessly converted from JPEG would be handy too. JPEG can be compressed losslessly to save about 20% on average, because it uses run-length encoding that can be replaced by Huffman. Archivers were doing that back in the 90s, with StuffIt on MacOS being the first I think.
If you only look for meddling by Russia in only decisions you dislike, then you can only find meddling by Russia only in decisions you dislike
We know that a lot of fake Russian accounts were just sowing discord, not targeting particular issues. In the US they have pretended to be BLM and AntiFa on one hand, and neo Nazis and Trump supporters on the other. They understand that a heavily polarized and divided country full of misinformation tends to break our fragile democracies, which are basically winner takes all.
A lot of the fake UK accounts were just spouting xenophobic rubbish to stir up anger. A smaller number advocated for Brexit directly, usually pretending to be people from outside London in order to push the "out-of-touch political elite" narrative.

I don't think the Russians have goals that specific in mind. They just create division and anger, and let it do whatever damage it ends up doing.

And how much power does Jill Stein have compared to Donald J. Trump?
Trump: 46.1%
Clinton: 48.2%
Stein: 1.0%
I'm not surprised an also-ran irrelevance isn't getting as much coverage as POTUS.

Intel has billions of dollars in cash on hand, let alone their yearly profits. They could spend some of that compensating people.
But no, Intel is a corporation, and consequences are for little people.
