How would FLIR prevented anything? Analyzing temperatures of outside surfaces doesn't do much. Not even the current "grail" of terahertz imaging wouldn't have done much, at best it can penetrate thin walls or doors.
Don't know of a group of people with an average IQ of 85 so I'll assume that all people outside the western world are to be considered very very stupid indeed (that's a racist and completely untrue assumption but so is your idea). If I did my numbers correct that would lead to a decrease of 3 IQ points, that is by taking the number of immigrants not from western countries and multiplying by 85 adding the rest of the population and multiplying with 100. An IQ of 97.
So even if your idea was correct it doesn't explain this phenomenon. But your idea isn't correct, Norway isn't mass-importing low IQ people and those people they "import" have a higher average IQ than 85. In fact some of them come from countries with a generally higher IQ which skews the equation in the other direction.
No they do not work the same unless you mean that they all are "von Neumann" computers with sequential semantics, using binary*, byte addressed with 8 bit bytes, using two's complement arithmetic etc.
A modern processor presents an interface that looks somewhat like the old type of computer but internally is quite different, in fact most modern processors are using a limited type of dataflow processing in order to extract parallelism from sequential programs. They also use statistical modelling (speculative execution, caches, data prefetch, etc.) to reduce the speed of light problem inherent in the computer model we know how to build.
Modern processors also exposes multiple instruction streams as CMP (Chip Multi-Processing) and SMT (Symmetrical Multi-Threading) taking ideas from parallel computing. They also provide SIMD processing, yet another alternative design incorporated as a part.
While current processors do not provide real vector processing it will arrive later in AARCH64 and RISC V.
TL;DR a modern processor provides parts of almost all known alternative computer designs, the 1978 one did not!
And you don't see yourself doing the exactly same thing? You choose to take something incredibly disgusting and using it to paint all your "targets" with the stench.
This is the tactics idiots use to target feminists, take someone that is clearly a deranged man hater and say "see, this is what feminism is about". Same of the leftish attacking the right, the right attacking the left, religious fools attacking those not, atheist shits attacking anybody not. It just goes on an on.
It isn't debate. It isn't real. It is a manufactured strawman that you can easily hit.
Simple: overclocked = clocked higher than specified as the normal operating range. Specified is the important part.
So if Intel said that their processor could run at 5GHz when kept at (let's say) 20 degrees Celsius maximum and still be within specifications it wouldn't be overclocked.
That's what everyone was thinking this was about, cherry picked processors from the very top bin deemed reliable if coupled to some extreme cooling system. The difference here is that Intel failed to mention that despite their heroic cooling efforts the system wasn't guaranteed to actually work at that clock speed.
Not obvious to me at least. And very dishonest _even_ if the presenter was expected to scream of the top of his lungs that the system was overclocked.
No that's not the claim, where did you get that idea?
It's the first Intel processor with a specified 5GHz clock frequency (turbo) but of course not the first 5GHz processor (see IBM POWER 8 for that). So what is claimed that this is the first Intel processor at 5GHz clock frequency - which is correct.
This. People does all sort of crazy things when they are about to lose X (X = life, sight, reproductive ability,...).
For some types of cancer when the doctors say there is no chance in hell to fix it one should seek a second opinion. And perhaps a third. And then accept that things are what they are, try to minimize pain and suffering and try to spend the remainder of ones life doing whatever one like to do.
For most people that "like" wouldn't involve paying through the nose for surgically inserting monkey balls and injecting oneself with (diluted) hydrogen peroxide.
That's not the major problem and your B&W description doesn't match reality. People have complained about the targeting practices and the more developed the methods become (and information about them get widely spread) the more there are to criticize.
Most complaints now is from the realization of how easy the existing systems can be abused by a third party (mostly claimed to be Russia) combined with the ease another third party (Cambridge Analytica) could gain access to user data even if it was through deception.
Most people doesn't complain about the Trump campaign as much as they complain about Russia having a say in the internal politics of the USA.
non-govermental: not created nor controlled by the Chinese communist government. non-supported: not an external group with extra support from the Chinese government, that is not above that given to all free enterprises. non-controlled: not in any way controlled by the Chinese government above that of law enforcement.
It's very unlikely that an entity under control of the Chinese government is the culprit, this would make them lose face and be seen as unreliable when it comes to international agreements.
Very likely that someone in China it the culprit though, the country is huge, law enforcement spotty. Corruption is still high even with active campaigns to eliminate it. It have a mixture of communist ideas and anything-goes capitalism. That people can do anything to make a fast buck have been illustrated in the news: counterfeit parts including safety critical ones for passenger airplanes, lacing of baby milk products with poison etc.
AFAIK the one time MS was caught distributing GPL contaminated software they verified it and re-released the software under the GPL. But you obviously have something more recent in mind?
Are you stupid? Are you aware that not are there a lot of non-govermental non-supported non-controlled corporations in China? Many that are shut down by Chinese government for abusing laws and regulations?
A little bit of sugar can make flavors develop (try making tomato sauce or soup with and without a pinch of sugar and compare). Perhaps the manufacturers take that idea to the extremes and use cheap sugar in their products in order to reduce quantity/quality of other ingredients?*
It isn't a flaw as it is a fundamental design choice. Text is king in Unix, for better and worse.
Personally I think a modern system should use typed binary data that is transparently converted to (and from) text when needed, but it's not a popular idea.
I made a silly comparison with another device not working as it should. Replace car with whatever else as long as it is buggy.
Because the device in question DIDN'T work as it should, the developers fucked up.
Blaming users for expecting things to work is popular in "nerd" territory but it's crap, OP was blaming a consumer for buying a device expecting it to work properly.
I'd like to say I feel bad about this, but I'm afraid I can't.
You brought this thing to your home, in the case of this lady apparently a bunch of them. You chose to have cars in your garage, you chose to use them.
I'm over feeling sorry for people who buy this shit and then discover its brakes not working, being a deathtrap.
Boo fucking you. If you want sympathy, go someplace else.
Yet another reason why I will never own this kind of shit, or any of the automobile garbage being peddled to us.

TL;DR you are an idiot and also very, very wrong.
It's also extremely obvious in hindsight, ...
Many genuine inventions are, this simply isn't relevant.

LOL! Too bad I remember earlier "arguments" from you otherwise this had been moderated funny, now it's just tragic. But funny too!
Come on, this isn't even trying.
Yes it is Microsoft, I'm wondering why they need Git to manage their BASIC interpreter?
No that's not the claim, where did you get that idea?

I think you have an addiction.
Yes unique and costly. Hopefully we can have automated (relatively) inexpensive solutions soon.

Chemo works. It in conjunction in surgery or radiation therapy saves a lot of lives.
Leeches don't do much in the normal case.

That's not a factual description of the situation.

China as a state? Unlikely.
Someone _in_ China not following the laws to earn more? Pretty damn likely.
Observe the difference between the two choices.

First you talk about the idea behind Unix. Then you mention proc. Is it only me that finds that ironic?
