Actually no it doesn't. Of the 11 Spectre Variants AMD has only been vulnerable to about 3. And two of those variants were the ones that affected every out of order processor ever made.
The problem is it won't be 30C year round. It'll be 40C in the summer and -20C in the winter and the variations will be erratic and unpredictable. Summer will start in January one year and July the next, it'll rain all year long one year and then won't rain again for two more. The worst kind of situation imaginable for food production.
Not just that, but it was 15 samples and they knew what was in the bags/boxes. Talk to me when they've done a thousand samples in a double-blind environment with real packed luggage that contains all the weird shit people put in bags like prescriptions, breast milk, vibrators, etc that the "scanner" operator has no idea what's in each bag.
They ran off and claimed 95%+ detection and they've got no evidence at all of that kind of reliability. Scanning bags for dirt simple things like guns is hard, and scanning for anything like explosives is 100x as hard.
Musk should do what any good CEO does and stop worrying about the day to day stock price. If he focused on simply executing in the end the short sellers will get their just desert.
What troubles me more though is that he hasn't filed an SEC complaint, there is something going on with Tesla stock with connected people trying to manipulate the price through placed new stories. The SEC should be investigating this as it represents a serious long term threat to the markets and with a complaint filed by Musk they would have the authority to begin an investigation.
Whether or not Musk committed a crime will be up to a court to decide. But any legal action will not be premised if the deal's details were completely worked out, but on if he's actually started the process. All information does indicate that he started the process to go private but this will be decided in court as it should be.
Fish and plant life are adapted to certain temperatures, for example rainbow trout and it's surrounding ecosystem are dependent on cold waters (below 50 degrees IIRC), you raise that temperature above 50F and the rainbow trout cannot simply survive in the waterway (the higher temp causes their metabolism to increase and for them to burn more calories than they can eat) along with many of the supporting plant life and even some of the waterborne insects and other food sources for the fish. Almost all aquatic ecosystems have strict temperature dependencies that the life in them depend on.
Installing a power plant along a river that raises the water 20F in such a situation would create a deadzone in the river where the native ecosystem can't survive, though they are typically recolonized by a different ecosystem, for example using the rainbow trout example above, the rainbow would be displaced by brown trout, bass and other warm water fish. But the big problem is this zone in the river creates a break that doesn't allow the rainbow to properly migrate and any rainbow that enter this part of the river will die if they remain.
As someone else already pointed out, 20F rise in temperature is the point where the EPA regulations kick in. But continue on with your whataboutism and baseless denial. Wasteheat can be a very serious problem.
Waste heat from power plants can be a HUGE problem to local ecosystems. There's rivers in the US where power plants have raised the water temperature 20 degrees and essentially displaced the entire habitat.
Steam generation is 19th century technology that's just plain awful in low water or high temperature areas. We've got power plants in the western US that use more water than the entire local population, water that's just pumped into the atmosphere rather than supporting the local ecosystem. Solar and storage are at the point where we can stop using this ancient technology, it's long since time that steam generation should be abandoned in any area where water is at a premium.
That Eocene Maximum also caused an extinction event that wiped out ~30% of life in the oceans including extinction of coral. The rapid change in climate also caused rapid evolution of existing life on land as climate zone shifted and animal populations changed and shifted.
Not exactly the best example of nothing to worry about.
USB-C had a rough start because Chinese OEM's simply stuck a USB-C connector on the same USB 2.0 wire and chip. The USB commission deliberately broke this layout because they were making a major change with power delivery in the spec and they needed cables to signal they were compatible with the new standard.
But back to the point, most of the USB-C stuff and cables is sorted out at this point, it generally takes about 10 years for a new USB standard to become common, were barely halfway on USB-C. By the time we get to 2023 we should be standardized on USB-C at which point they will probably need to add some more wires.
It was EU action that forced the industry to standardize on Micro-USB before USB-C came out.Phones converged because of the EU but then splintered again when USB-C showed up and Apple brought lightening to the table. Hopefully it will reconverge around USB-C but if not the EU will hopefully force that.
The EU also needs to act on combining phone/laptop chargers around USB-C for smaller laptops and a standard connector for larger power needs. We've still got hundreds of different connectors on laptops for no bloody good reason, it's frankly criminal.
Pai is simply trying to shift the blame for his own lying. He's the one that claimed this was hacking. He's the one that tried to game the comments using this line and he's the one that right up until the IG report came out claimed it was hacking. Now that the report is out saying he's a liar he's trying to deflect that to say it's not his fault.
He's the head of the FCC, everything the FCC does is his fault, even if he wasn't the jackass on TV making these claims he's now blaming on someone else he would still be responsible. But I guess because he was nominated by Trump he's in the Trump class where he dosn't take responsibility for anything that happens under his watch.
So much for responsible government administration where people take responsibility for the people who serve under them, in the new Trump paradigm the leader isn't responsible for anything, including the things they actually did do.
And just like their Movie industry it will be hobbled by government goons ensuring that everything presents China in a good light and doesn't criticize anyone in government.
Got a game that shows aliens invading? That's a no-go because it presents the Chinese government in a bad light. People like you seem to forget that those censorship controls and the thought police they use tend to destroy creative industries like this. For evidence look no farther than the Chinese film industry who can barely make a few movies a year because of all the censors and requirements that China and it's government have to be presented in a good light with the result being almost every movie they produce is a historical narrative about times before the PRC.
The NRA isn't even a gun manufacturer lobby anymore. The GOP got high level operatives put into key positions in the NRA and they've morphed into a wholly GOP organization. Hell, they've handed out awards for doing "conservative" (defined of course by the GOP) things that have nothing to do with gun rights.
They are a wholly partisan organization now, anyone that cares about gun rights and isn't a die hard member of the GOP should be donating your money to other more legitimate gun rights organizations, and there are plenty to choose from who haven't been fully co-opted by the GOP oligarch network.
I know it's fashionable right now to hate the courts and law enforcement due to the current occupant of the white house waging a well orchestrated propaganda war for his own benefit but the courts have rules and processes to follow. Judges don't hand down injunctions as you imply.
Plaintiffs ask for injunctions, then using a defined and published set or rules for evaluating those requests the judge weighs the damages/costs of the temporary injunction versus the claimed damages from not issuing the injunction if the plaintiff is assumed to win their case. They then weigh those costs and make a decision against the validity of the case (they are required to make certain assumptions about success of the case during this evaluation). If either the plaintiff or defendant doesn't like the ruling on the temporary injunction they can appeal that ruling to higher court.
There is nothing wrong with this, and it's the cleanest possible way to handle it. No one is being harmed by this temporary injunction, no company is being destroyed, not lives are being ruined. It's a relatively modest injunction. It allows things to be suspended until more thorough arguments can be heard on the lawsuit. Once those arguements are heard and decided then the judge will either revoke the temporary injunction or make it permanent.
Honestly their is very little chance that Defense Distributed won't win in the long run, the government can't ban the publishing of instructions on how to do things, it's a direct first amendment violation. If you want an example, the government wasn't able to bar the printing of books containing the source code for encryption in the 1980's/1990's when federal law specifically bared the transfer of this technology outside the US without permission. The settlement with the government was probably a good idea from a legal fee's point of view but Defense distributed was always going to have to litigate this to the point that the 1st amendment issue was found to override any other concerns, and from that point of view it was a bit silly to settle with the government to begin with.
Might be a good buy for Logitech but it will be an awful buy for everyone else. Just like Harmony they will destroy a vibrant company serving a niche market.
Harmony was producing new models and innovative remote products, then Logitech bought them and all new development stopped. The Harmony division hasn't produced a product that wasn't developed premerger. Blue Yeti will experience the same, logitech will cheap out in design products, ramp them then stop all development.
Just like harmony who was producing new products every year they will halt all new development, fire all the designers and developers and milk the product while it stagnates and dies.
What trendy circles are you referring to? Quantum mechanics?:)
I'm more curious if there was a planet orbiting this star is the star close enough that time would be dilated by the movement and proximity to the black hole.
He talked about shorting the stock, no one actually knows if he did or not. Talking about it and doing it are two separate things or are you ignorant about that reality?
If only you could point out the part where trading oil and gas stocks has any relation to trading Tesla stock. Or are you privy to information that is not public about this traders activity.
They really should move to heads up display for the critical info like speed, you could easily project it above line of sight in the top band of the windshield or at the bottom of the windshield and it would work even better than a central instrument cluster. But that's cause I don't like it to the right, I think that's a bad choice personally and that it needs to be visible without turning the head.
He didn't do anything illegal as long as he wasn't buying the stocks he manipulated.
If he did buy and sell stocks he was spreading false information about then heaven help him, the SEC will introduce him to some interesting life choices.
SG&A isn't the problem, it's CapEX, Captial expenditures for automotive are huge. GM and Toyota routinely spend a billion dollars ramping up for a new model, and that new model only changes at most about 30% of an existing design. Tesla is having to build from scratch, and each of their models is segmented so there is very little part sharing between them. Fortunately electric cars have very few parts so it's not that bad but the CapEx is the killer.
It's also why the regular car companies have been fighting electric tooth and nail, the capex for them to convert is going to about the same as it has been for Tesla, and it could even be more because they'll have to expend dollars to shutdown existing part production for the gas parts. The car industry is terrified of electric, not just the capex and not just the potential to wipe out margins as the electric can be far cheaper to produce, but the fact that a huge part of the cost for parts is the batteries that no car manufacturer produces. GM, Toyota and FCA make their own engines, but in an electric the electric motor is a nothing part, the bulk of the money is the battery that they won't be producing. So they will be sending the bulk of the margin out of house to a battery producer.
This scares the traditional manufacturers, they are being dragged kicking and screaming into electric and will fight it as long as they can. BMW and Mercedes and the other luxury brands laughed at Tesla right up until their sales dropped 30%. The model S has destroyed Mercedes sales, as a result all their top end models very soon will be electric because they have no choice, either they go electric or they go out of business as Tesla has been eating their lunch.
We won't be successful with a real AI until we return to analog computing. The brain in biological organisms is analog and operates roughly equivalent to a pokey 600mhz. The difference is the 100 billion connections with upwards of dozens of routing paths per neuron and analog communication. We are a long way from being able to create something similar. Although we wouldn't need the full 100 billion because much of the brains computing power is devoted not to inteligence but simply managing living processes it still going to be a very long time before we will ever get close to this.

Actually no it doesn't. Of the 11 Spectre Variants AMD has only been vulnerable to about 3. And two of those variants were the ones that affected every out of order processor ever made.
