Small items cost more on Prime than they do at Walmart. The costs are right there for anybody who understands the Price Mechanism as an element of basic economics.
Isn't this the point of the eGPU strategy? To offload real computational work onto a dedicated device that is properly chassied for the job?
The real question might be why spend the money on an unlocked i9 instead of an eGPU. If you want an ultrathin laptop that can rip through any video and not get hot you might be living in 2029.
Startups are the kind of place where social liberals thrive. They're really good at generating new ideas, are open to trying new things, and generally aren't good at managing products for the long term.
Big companies run on conservatives. They have processes in place, they get stuff done slowly and surely, and not much new happens. Increasingly, these places are dominated in HR by the neomarxists who are particularly concerned with tribal -dentity thinking.
If you've ever wondered why startups tend to produce new products and then get acquired by big companies that don't, this is the basic explanation. Both types are necessary for the long-term, and it's important that people with the right personality structure wind up in the right work structure as well. Neither type of person will feel comfortable in the opposite work environment.
Really, this is the sort of thing that high schools ought to be measuring, testing, and recommending. And no, we are not talking about politics here.
They can only compel you to open something locked if they can convince a judge that they have evidence proving that what they're looking for is in there. Like a cop swears that he saw you stash your pot in the safe and lock it.
The Circuit Court in Minnesota decided several years ago that the same standard applies to computers. If the cop saw kiddie porn on your screen and you shut it off they can compel you to unlock it. Though maybe you take the six months in that case.
What they're doing to this guy in Tampa is clearly unconstitutional and already illegal in that other Circuit but Florida is a different jurisdiction.
He's the kind of hero we need to survive the creeping tyranny. Hopefully ACLU will be along with better lawyers to hand this judge's ass to him.
Of course the Constitution counts (it's the Supreme Law of the land) but local backwater judges ignore it. They're not going anywhere and they don't want to waste their time thinking because T-time is at 2.
It's amazing that your.sig says that you make plugins for a product produced by the Mozilla Foundation but then your comment says that if something is to be free and useful the government has to produce it.
We had that in the 1700's. If you want 2% literacy follow that route! It's a benefit to EVERYONE that all of society is educated.
Where did you learn that, a government school?
Try going to actually look up the literacy rate in America before the US implemented the Prussian System, when most schools for poor were run by charity, and compare it with other countries around the world that had state education, paying special attention to the counties of comparable wealth.
I know, learning is hard and you don't have much practice.
Video editing and compositing is fantastic these days. All one needs is a database of make/model/year/color vehicles with videos of egregious driving and some Deep Fakes processing. Let's see how well the Sox do in the Series when their pitcher is pinched on a DUI.
The only surprise from a civics perspective is that they risked Contempt of Congress with their CEO. But he's rich and lawyered-up and apparently Congress converted their jail to a conference room eighty years ago, so from a reality perspective it's not a surprise at all. Still, lots of people think Congress is "doing their job" by grilling the Zuck, so none of the players lose except those people who are merely placated.
The current "wars for oil" is at about $8T. How does that compare with atomic energy?
At two cents a KWh the sales of electric cars start to go through the roof. But "cheap" oil (externalized costs) and high electric rates strongly favor oil-powered transportation.

I bet they had to make the bluetooth version because of their employees with macbooks.
Sure, it was definitely Macbooks and definitely not for phones without NFC (like a Yubikey uses).

Oh, wait, it's *fucking Buzzfeed* on /. again. GDI.
What are your thoughts on this? Do you think the answer varies across different file systems and operating systems?
You're kidding, right?
IBM is either prosecuting an obvious patent or not. I they are that is wrong no matter what they do with their other patents.
We may simultaneously hold the idea that IBM does good things and IBM does bad things and we may react to each position appropriately.
yeah, yeah, so thin ... but:

Well, good, we can still build infrastructure on the other moons and steer the errant one into a safe orbit when it's time.
You've got it. These "crazy-expensive" books predate Silk Road.
Also cocaine.
Somebody once claimed that it was a way for booksellers to maintain a listing without needing to be able to find the book right now, but cocaine.

So, all the good talent is leaving for a new internet-only production company that will take most of HBO's market share? Cool.
We need more safe clean power, not people complaining about useful new technology that consumes power.
People had the same bleats about aluminum processing back when the Bessemer process got going. Nobody needs airplanes!
Yeah ... anybody who has read the book can explain it; that Kubrick didn't disagree is the least surprising thing.
I told my kids to read the book before I'm showing them the movie, but I think both are worthwhile.

This answered all my questions and then some. Thanks.
Dude, you're old enough to remember Bob Cringely writing about this crap at IBM incessantly for a decade. But you weren't so old then, were you?
Go work for an American company who will value your skills and pay you more.
Goddamnit, Jim - if you engage in topical responses they will post more of this shite.
Complaints, only, man.

He's not talking about email, vacation messages, or AOL vacation messages.
Freedom to do things others find harmful? Nah son, that's being an a-hole. at best.
He's talking about the socialist idea of communal-harm. Like you arguing on /. instead of volunteering at the soup kitchen. It's harmful to society.
Get thee to a reeducation camp!
Read a book or take a class if there's something you can't figure out. Don't ossify in place or you'll be first on the layoffs list.
