Here is what they mean. Imagine logic elements are people passing notes. Except when you pass a note, the next person reads it, throws it in the trash, then rewrites a new one to pass on. Big waste, right? They are proposing logic gates that simply pass the note along based on its content. Much more efficient, right?.
The bad news? Good luck doing that at today's speeds. We lose more energy simply biasing the transistors heavily to make them switch faster than we ever do by erasing states. We have heat limitations due to this much more than charge lost every state transition. It might give incremental improvement in density, but it's not some silver bullet.
Since when has it been Hollywood's onus to portray reality? I still find it intriguing that people don't really seem to grasp it. They can have person who can survive a 1000ft fall or bend thr trajectory of a bullet by swinging a gun while firing it. But God forbid they inaccurately portray CS professionals. OH NO!
They portray unrealistic expectations for women/men/whatever. Yeah, because it sells. If it didn't, they wouldn't.
Median of all computer science majors currently working? Or just entry level? 90K entry level is pretty impressive. 90K experienced isn't that impressive considering all STEM.
"Detest America".. Anyone wanna take odds that's the single most provocative thing that they used to get attention, and the rest is pretty drab correspondence?
Good to see silicon valley is still a big fan of the "failing upward" trend.
No doubt brought about by the same attitude as uninhibited, laissez faire venture capitalism, but for people instead of business. "He's smart, he's got to lay the golden egg eventually!"
I clicked on this article and was pleasantly surprised to see the prevailing answer is "don't". And I couldn't agree more. Seriously when did we decide "coding" was the holy grail of skills and needed to be introduced as early as possible?
I learned early but kids need basics first. English, math, science. If they show an altitude then fine, but geez, give them a chance to get going.
Their website calls it a "Theater Network", which immediately conjures up the idea that it doesn't work everywhere. But there's no way to see in advance (that I could find) which theaters participate in their service. The FAQ has this specific question listed, but it just tells you to go back to the main website, where there is no apparent way to find this info without signing up for the service.
Yeah, you get a 1-month trial just like Netflix did/does, but I'd still like to see in advance if it's even worth pursuing.
I know everyone is making themselves feel good by pointing out the obvious that every generation thinks their descendants will be the ruin of the world. I've heard plenty of it.
But I'm not so sure they aren't at least a little right about smartphones and smart devices. And the reason I think this is because it doesn't just affect the "new generation". I've seen entire families, from eldest to youngest, all glued to their screens at dinner, outside, everywhere. Times when you would be interacting, thinking to yourself, using your mind, etc. It allows you to be force fed stimulation, like a foie gras of the mind. It is turning us into "push" consumers, allowing material, content, and even values and principles to be pushed on us, willingly. It seems every new invention of technology ups the ante on this just a little bit more.
The stimulation is addicting. Your mind gets accustomed to a certain level. And once it drops below that, you reach for your phone. You know there's a silly meme, a new snapchat, and goofy video, a mindless game, a funny video, all just waiting to amuse you.
Now days, if you are sitting alone somewhere in quiet contemplation and you AREN'T swiping away at your cell phone, you look like the one out of place. Balk all you want, but I'm not sure this a good thing this time, folks...
AT&T is already doing it. I have fiber in my house in Leander, and had it in my apartment in central Austin. They priced it to exactly compete with Google Fiber's project price.
The article is sort of right. What matters more is density altitude, the effective density based on temperature and air pressure.
But that's not to say other aspects of the plane are not rated for that temperature because they would then exceed some internal temperature based on temp rise above ambient.
And I prefer Central Market to whole foods, anyway. For whatever reason, though, HEB corporate refuses to build more of them.. Perhaps exclusivity adds to their allure?
Austin is definitely more left-leaning, but calling the rest of Texas insane is a bit of an over-reach I think. Austin is, after all, using taxpayer money to add lanes to one of its busiest highways to ease congestion, and then making them TOLL LANES. They pull plenty of bonehead moves, depending on your viewpoints.
Fair enough, but I think the original point was that Mayer built herself a private daycare ONLY in her office. That's next-level, in your face douchery.
Can we quit with the hyperbole, please? Climate change research is a serious matter. I know that's all journalists know how to do, but we need everyone to get on board with at least researching this stuff. Saying it's "Scorching the Planet" is inflammatory and highly unrelatable to 99% of the people of the Earth, having likely only seen nearly undetectable average temperature increases.
I'm from the U.S., and you probably wouldn't even have to cite me any sources for me to believe we have generated the most cumulative CO2 of any other country. That doesn't seem like it should be news to anyone..
I'm guessing you didn't look at the article linked... Where it clearly says Millennials actually were more likely than others to be able to cover a $500 unexpected expense. We can speculate why, maybe lack of kids or something, but 47% of Millennials say they could cover it vs the 37% overall average.
Also, as a Millennial, I prefer to have a couple months salary of savings, for obvious reasons. I have a budgeted amount that goes to savings every month, and I get quite agitated if for some reason I have to use it for something else. But that usually stops me from drawing it from savings, so it's a wash really.
And what's that about parents? Oh yeah, I pay their cell phone bill and have paid for other things that come up because they blew every cent they had.
My criteria for "affording" something is "can I do that AND still put away my monthly savings". If the answer is yes, then I don't feel bad about doing it. I've denied myself plenty of things because the answer to the question was no, but that's the price I pay for financial security.
Aside from that, I'm not so naive as to think everyone has it as easy as me. However, I know from experience that if my earnings were reduced, I would scale the savings also and my criteria would stay unchanged.
While I know the list is usually anonymous, this kind of thing seems like it could potentially morph into a trial by mod situations. I'm not sure allegations alone are enough for something so serious. I'm not sure any serious HR org would discipline an employee on a single accusation.
To everyone thinking people are suddenly going to be blasting around in the Dodge Demon, it's quite obviously a car designed to be capable of fast drag strip times while also being street legal. And yes, I'm sure some dunce will wrap one around a telephone pole, but they are not going to be hugely prolific cars.
And as someone who is involved in both drag racing and oval dirt track racing, I prefer a car with good mileage, only modest power, and very good handling for a daily driver.
There ARE pretty high performance cars that get mileage I never even believed would be possibly, usually to displacement on demand technologies where cylinders are literally shut off when not needed. This was tried many many years ago with little success, but now they have the ability to actually collapse the lifters and keep the cylinder sealed so pumping losses drop to a minimum and you can realize the full benefit.
And as for the "squishy" torque converter, that was solved years ago with a lock-up converter. The converter only acts as a converter during necessary transitional states. The rest of the time, a clutch inside it locks up and turns it into a direct drive mechanism, removing most of the fluid losses inside.
One of the big gains to thermodynamic efficiency can be had with compression ratio increases, which has been seen. Historically, due to only crude control over the combustion process (carburetor, mechanical/vacuum based ignition timing curves), an increase in compression ratio pretty much necessitated increased fuel octane. Now this isn't as true, given the much more precise control over combustion with direct cylinder injection and individual coil per spark plug . So compression ratio can be increased with advanced control to prevent getting into knock, then detonation, the pre-ignition, then ultimate failure.
EGR is good for efficiency in some cases, but is a horsepower killer. Racing engines intentionally keep the exhaust valve and intake valve open simultaneously (known as overlap) to pull fresh air and fuel through the cylinder on every cycle to "scavenge" out and clean all combustion products out from the previousl cycle. The downside is that some raw fuel is discharged out the exhaust.
Bottom line is we have cars now with horsepower ranges from a 4 cylinder that would have been tough at times with an 8 cylinder engine and getting 2x or 3x the mileage (sometimes even more!). We are on the right track. High performance cars have been ingrained in auto industry DNA for a long time.
The issue is now the outside world is competing for kids attention. The days of walking around and finding that "perfect stick" to be your sword or staff or whatever, then wielding it with friends for hours of fun has to compete with killer graphics and MMO gameplay essentially doing the same exact thing.
Except one of them teaches kids socialization and gets them active while one keeps them sedentary and exposes them to a twisted version of socialization with no real cause and effect dynamic.
Yup. I live in the Austin area. You would be laughed at for offering the amount shown as the "Zestimate". I've never seen it accurately predict the sale price, as it is always significantly low. I guess maybe it gives people false hope they could get into a house they actually couldn't afford?
I have no idea who is in charge of the algorithm, but it's about as useful as using the tax assessor's value for your house as the market price, and I've never seen it get any better yet.
The problem is the bad ones have made it about revenge and "evening up the score", instead of making it about true equality. They have done to feminism what fanatics have done to climate change. There is still some good work being done by good people for a good cause. But jackholes got involved and let their misplaced resentment fuel a highly emotional and radical image, and here we are. On the precipice of having raving loons de-legitimize a worthy and valuable cause.
And as long as we are using data like this to try to drive some sort of flimsy "equality metrics", all you can hope to get is forcing equal outcome but not necessarily equal treatment.

That is not only not right, it is not even wrong.
Indefinite leave of absence.... Just like "we're on a break". We are through, just not ready to admit it yet.
