It's all the chipsets fault. There are lots of motherboards for AMD, what is lacking are good chipsets.
While AMD updated their APU chipsets,they did little for the chipsets that was built for their then flagship CPU's since 2008. Not updating them for bulldozer or later for piledriver, and not since. No PCIe 3 or USB 3, shrinking of die, improvements to hype-rtransport.
So their should be some serious talk about the chipsets to support the Zens, hearing nothing means nothing new, minor update to existing...
Much of California(Cali) is great for growing plants. It's land is futile unlike a desert. What it doesn't get a lot of is rain, it depends on water shed from mountains, sometimes causing floods.
Most of Cali's water is coming from watershed not groundwater. This water rather than being allowed to flood, or head strait to the ocean, is being diverted, stored, and used differently, optimally. It can even grow better than the wetter states with more sunshine and great soil and milder winters.
As an old Cali native, let me enplane a little of what's happened.
The Good farming areas prosper and grow. Little of the farming land slowly turns into homes. Jobs happen, the bay area growth explodes as people move from across the country, the cost of living is skyrockets where people are willing to commute 1-2hr from the cheaper faming places. Those farming lands turn into suburbia even though they are built in flood zones. Then silicone valley happened and and the above happens times 10.
Faming still happens, but making use of less fertile land, further away from the riverbanks, as those area's became cities. Farming was already employing flood irrigation for much of the land anyways, so it's just more of it. The flood irrigation is practically a controlled simulation of the natural flooding that's suppose to happen.
Those Almonds that use so much water is where I grew up. I watched as areas that experience yearly flooding get turned into track homes from the 90's to the late 2000s faster than new schools could be built. This development wasn't just the valley, but further up the hills too. I even saw creeks turned into roadways, and springs capped with pipes leading out of them heading to who knows where.
There has been lots of turmoil from North Cali and South Cali, a lot because of water. but also because the people are so quite different. The big cities of LA/San Fran and their area vs the rest of Cali are very different too. I, and others I knew, where in favor of splitting Cali every time it came up. Much of southern Cali is desert, and is also where much of the population lives with their well watered lawns and swimming pools. Either pumping up the water or taking it from the north. I remember during the 70's when the north was under strict water usage "if it's yellow let it mellow if it's brown flush it down", but the south, where our water was sent, was not.
Think I've lost people, this long post was suppose to be about much of Cali is a great place for agriculture. It lacks rain through out the year, but that doesn't mean it's all desert and the way agriculture uses it is very much like how Cali naturally used it.
I'm unaware of anyone getting 50% from government rebates, and even then its tax rebates(but I'm not seeing expired...).
And that $7500 is a tax credit, most people with families and owning a home would take multiple years to see that back. That's a hidden cost of $500-$1000 depending on interest and number of years.
You're also purchasing a cheap one with very limited range, up to 100 mile range, that will work as a commuter car, would have to be supplemented by use of another vehicle for anything more than 1 hr away. So you're hiding how cheap that car is with another that can do what it can not. The addition of insurance alone will eat up any savings.
Stupid is a bit extreme, but does fit well with a large portion of them.
But along the lines of what others are pointing out. 1. They are what makes it possible for you to even buy used cards only a few years old. 2. Standard of living includes the car. 3. I will give the cost of the loan could be lowering their standard of living, especially those always in new cars....
However, I am with you in buying the few years old, but hold on onto them longer than you. When I've been asked about getting an electric car, I tell people not until there's a good used market. Same with the LED/LCD TV's and other luxury items.
Since raspberry Pi 2, the CPU hasn't been the weakest link, but then my use of the device isn't classroom, but home server, or connected to a TV. But I was very disappointed in the improvements in the 3 as it addressed non issues.
The single USB 2.0 bus really limit things. All IO sharing ~35MB/s . Even a single USB 3.0 bus would be 10x increase. After that it's RAM. I know these are constraints based on the chips you can get cheap, but any chance of seeing an upgrade?
Unfortunately not everyone is as luck as you with their commute, and some people do things on the weekend. 40 mile range is laughable. If it didn't also have gas engine it would sell as well as electric bikes...
What would be cool, is a quick way to add batteries. 150 mile standard, and add/remove battery where you can add multiple 25lb batteries under the back seat to get up to 300.
300, which isn't high(comparing to gas) is respectable and 20 min charge times are not much longer than normal fueling.
I wish the add block and host files communities would work more on the problems than blocking everything under the sky.
If we only blocked the abusers, then the add companies would have incentives to not be abusing things. As it is right now, they abuse everything they can to get a chance to get things seen, or do tracking.
No flash, scripts, no sounds, no pop ups/unders, no cookies or other tracking. And no hosting of scammer, trick, or malware stuff....
Knowing it's Florida, I'll bet against it without even reading it. A more wretched hive of incompetence and malignancy, you won't find than the Florida Capitol.
I must be miss something please clarify: My understanding is Theranos product/services are not as good as marketed, not fully vetted, accusations of using the older tech to do much of the testing, and some mistakes found in the lab work. Further, not disclosing secret sauce information and not being very forthcoming with outside requests.
So far, that just sounds like a normal company, so whats the fraud, crimes, etc?
They also lost a lot of business with companies backing out from all the bad press, feeding the spiral downward. It's worth dropped from $9 billion to $800 million but is still more than what's been invested. And now its under criminal investigation.
So this has to be more than it's Edison tech isn't panning out right?
per your article, it kind of says they do, but it's not the only thing they look at...
The Australian Classification Board (ACB) has confirmed to Somebody Think Of The Children that a persons overall appearance is used by the Board to determine whether someone appears to look under the age of 18 in a film or publication.
Asked whether breast size was considered by the Board when determining age, McDonald said he had no further comment to make.
But really it's disturbing that they ban adult females just because they claim they look young.
I use dnsmasq and rather than 127.0.0.1 it points to a local web server where every request returns a zero byte file.
The hostfile is auto updated from multiple sources, some white listings, and the domains with many subdomains are parsed out and added to dnsmasq.conf to block the whole domain.
True, and I do rsync via rsyncd to increase speeds, but getting data from the network and then back onto a USB drive(or two) results in double dipping of that USB pool. And 100mbs has been slow for LAN since 2000. USB Gig will exceed that with out double dipping.
Which is why many was really hoping to that limitation address, by USB 3 or other means. I don't know anyone needing the wifi or bluetooth to be onboard. But I know plenty of people that hit limits of CPU, RAM, or the single USB 2 hub. (oh and quite a few wanting flash w/ hardware support)
I'm thinking the same. If all they had changed was USB 3 and Gig Ethernet I would be buying to replace the old. Even with it still being limited to 1 root USB port would be 10x improvement. (480MPs vs 640MBbs)
Even better would have been Ethernet not going through the usb, more multiple usb root ports. (or the ability to add on higher speed devices like SATA/eSATA/Firewire/More USB 3.x ports )
*sigh* Maybe there will be another revision with it, or next release . . . .
You're both right. Returning fingerprints that are not as unique and changing. But then you still have cookies and your IP.
But I'm conflicted, as data like User Agent (OS info) and the window/screen sizes are very useful, and making them useless hurts those creating the sites.
EFF's tool also shows so many bits of information, even getting rid of a dozen wont change much. I would assume trackers would take into consideration browser version changing and methods to track that can also over come random.
I kind of of thought of dark matter as, the matter of light that we cant measure at rest, but there is so much out there it adds up.
Stars send it out, but when it strikes celestial bodies such as earth it collects. But most of it it falls out as earth moves along it's orbit as it's low interactive to all things including gravity.
Not more damage, more effective. The.45 has a little bit more energy and leaves a little bit of a bigger hole. Slightly bigger holes means better chance of hitting a vital structure and faster bleed out. More energy bullet could penetrate to hit those targets.
FBI came up with tests to find effective ammo, Ammo manufactures engineered good bullets that reliably penetrate, expand, and are barrier blind. But this also holds true for other calibers.
So why is the 9mm more effective, and why are police flocking back to the 9mm? Shot placement, more rounds, and Good information.
Good information that came from real research and learning things like: 1. One stop shot and knockdown power are myths. 2. That caliber don't mean a damn if you can't reliably hit the target. People are much more accurate with 9mm, so much so they give 9mm shooters a small caliber penalty when competing. 3. Using good bullets that penetrate, without over penetrating and expand. 4. Followup shots are important, see #1, twice the rounds.
(They may harm THEMSELVES, but suicide rates don't change if guns aren't available: Instead the suicidal switch to less effective and usually more painful means, averaging more tries before they succeed.)
That is very false. Suicidal rates drop with measures preventing people from obtaining guns.(see the book More Guns Less crime) It's really the only statistic that gets better after passage of gun laws.
In fact this is true with all methods people use for committing suicide. Even minor inconveniences like chain link fences on bridges have lowered the percentage of jumpers(taken into consideration increase population, etc)
Studies have shown that well-designed suicide barriers not only stop people from jumping at a particular site, but also decrease the overall suicide rate in the surrounding area.
Look at our moon. I believe it's the biggest reason we still have a liquid core and thus a strong magnetic field.
Our moon is large in comparison to earth, and exerts a lot of force on the entire planet as we rotate together. If the moon wasn't tidal locked it would have a liquid core as well. basically as the moon and earth move/rotate the force direction changes, causing movement/heat.
Also there is a theory that long before life there was no moon, and we captured it after it collided losing it's core with the rest of it's mass trapped in orbit. If this happened it wouldn't invalidate the moons tidal forces keeping our planet hot and gooey on the inside.
Well it depends, I have a Raspberry Pi 2 that I bought for the purpose of replacing the 10 year old computer I had attached. Only thing is, it couldn't replace it.
No Hulu, No NetFlix, and no Web/HTML/Flash video's. Which is ~2/3's of the media watching now days. Kind of sucks having a bit of "new" hardware that can't do what it was bought for. If this windows 10 can do those things it might have something.
It doesn't help that stock prices are more about perception of the company than it has to do with value, so the value of a stock is a bit of an illusion, but I wouldn't call stock by back as an illusion of growth.
Yes it helps manipulate the stock price to a very small degree, but that's at a real cost, not just an accounting trick where you move numbers from one column to another. It's a cost to the company yet it's value remains the same, only Earnings Per Share change. Some companies often do this to offset EPS dilution from employee stock options.
It's more like a rechargeable battery. You need cash to expand, sell off company stock. Have cash and stock is valued low, buy back stock.
Planning a flop product/Press Release so that they can buy back stock at bargain prices would be a different beast.

It's all the chipsets fault. There are lots of motherboards for AMD, what is lacking are good chipsets.
While AMD updated their APU chipsets,they did little for the chipsets that was built for their then flagship CPU's since 2008. Not updating them for bulldozer or later for piledriver, and not since.
No PCIe 3 or USB 3, shrinking of die, improvements to hype-rtransport.
So their should be some serious talk about the chipsets to support the Zens, hearing nothing means nothing new, minor update to existing...

BCM43438 is the Wifi, which connects via the single USB bus BCM2836.
That's one of the problems, IMHO, with the raspberry Pi's is the single USB 2.0 bus.(so does the Ethernet, not sure for the SD card)

Ok, there is only 1 that doesn't look atrocious, the "Moz://a". The rest look like what I would expect from what grade schoolers class assignment.
