For a damn good reason too. Every single attempt at ARM server has failed, there have been roughly (IIRC) 4 server ARM chips that made it to sampling and all bit the dust shortly afterward when the performance was shown to be abdominal. Personally I believed AMD dropping the effort was a clear indicator that even with all their experience they couldn't build something that would beat x86.
The problem isn't the instruction set, it's all the stuff bolted onto it to try to keep cores fed. Multi-threading isn't actually that common in software, and even when it does exist it's often very poorly optimized and has declining per core performance with every core added, but if you did need a 48 core CPU because you had software that was coded and compiled perfectly so that you can run all 48 cores at full speed you can buy a Intel Phi right now and it runs x86 code without recompiling. The fact is that keeping a lot of cores busy is really hard, it requires a ton of cache and lots of interconnects between cores. This stuff adds a ton of transistors to the chip and eats up your silicon budget really fast.
Don't believe any ARM server is going to succeed until you see the silicon.
You are conflating two separate issues. No defendant in a criminal trial can sue the government for compensation for actions taken as part of the prosecution even if they are found not guilty by the jury. There are extremely limited situations under which you can legally sue the government and damages from a criminal prosecution are not one of them. Even in cases of gross negligence. You can sue if you were incarcerated for a long period and found innocent but only for lost wages and only in the states that have allowed that (not all have), the Fed's don't allow compensation in such cases.
The OJ Simpson case did not involve OJ suing anyone for his prosecution, OJ was sued by his victims relatives in civil court even though he was found not guilty in a criminal trial. This is a totally different thing than a defendant suing the government for prosecuting them as the OP stated.
Though technically true the creditors would have to take action and all indications are the Pebble was out of business, with excessive debt and insufficient revenue to cover costs and the indications are they shopped around for a buyer. The creditors could get the sale reversed but only under the assumption that they can locate a better offer, and one of the components of the deal are gone and can't be recovered (the employees). I read a news article that said Pebble had been shopping themselves around for 2 years.
If you are prosecuted for a crime and found innocent the government doesn't pay your legal fees, ever. There is no cause of action in a criminal trial for compensation for costs by the defendant. These types of damages are only awarded in civil cases.
That error is clearly referencing the i915 Intel drivers. I can find many similar calls in the Intel GFX Driver documentation.
My bet is you've got a hardware edge case where your monitor or something is coming up before it's expected and it's not responding to the subsequent request. As was suggested to you on the intel forums you need to make contact with the intel developers and see if they can troubleshoot it. Or if you don't want to waste a bunch of your time you can boot, then reboot after getting the error.
Except for the unpatched kernel vulnerabilities because they keep using an out of track non-LTS kernel. Maybe that's changed since the last big kernel exploit that went unpatched for 18months on Mint but the project has an atrocious record on security and no matter how much you like it you shouldn't ignore the warts it's got.
One of the nice things about solar from a long term cost perspective is that other than cleaning the panels periodically and fixing electrical problems you have almost no labor so operating costs are almost non-existent compared to fossil fuels. This often makes up for the lower capacity factor. Your average coal fired power plant has a round the clock (3 shifts) of dozens of people working in the plant feeding coal, removing ash, making repairs and monitoring the steam generators. Coal plants are massive mechanical engines and they require constant maintenance adding a significant labor component to the price along with the cost of the fuel.
$1 a watt for panel prices (not installed like this plant) was always the place that economists predicted that solar would be competitive with other forms of generation even with a lower capacity factor because their are almost no input costs to run. At $1 installed there is little other generating capacity other than wind (also no labor or fuel) that can compete effectively. The ROI on solar and wind now significantly exceed coal and other generation tech which is why so much money is flooding construction for these types of plants.
Coral cannot survive in water above a certain temperature threshold. If water temperatures sustain the coral may never recover. If the northern reaches of the BGR (those that are the closest to the equator) end up with unsurvivable water temperatures the coral in those areas will die off permanently.
The fact is the commercial launch industry is blossoming in the US. By 2020 we're going to have active competition between at least 3 separate companies to launch and reuse main rockets A reusable rocket should plummet launch costs and within a year or two all commercial launch contracts (non state) will be going up on American privately designed and launched rockets because it will be 10x cheaper than anything else out there. SpaceX is on target to start reusing rockets by 2022 and has a failure rate that's significantly lower than any of the state run and funded launch companies. Blue Horizon is right there with them but hasn't actually done any commercial launches yet and there are several other competitors.
If these predictions hold true the only things Russia will be launching will be their own satellites they don't have the money for. Without the commercial business they've been getting they will need to subsidize their rocket program even more and the funding cuts already in place are going to decrease quality and increase accidents which severely increases insurance costs which will make them even more competitive. By 2030 I won't be surprised if ULA and Arienspace are out of business and Russia is launching one or two rockets a year.
When you buy that similar phone on contract from your carrier for $200 you are paying that plus about 20%. Monthly cellular costs are vastly inflated by the monthly charge this adds to the bill. As an example, a typical no frills family plan for two people is going to cost you around $120 with all the taxes. I'm paying roughly $70 with GoogleFi because they don't add in the phone costs automatically and when you do request the payment plan and they do include the cost it's properly itemized and only you pay it not every subscriber. And though I paid $870x2 upfront my monthly bill is $50 cheaper. In two years I'll have paid significantly less then if I'd gotten the same thing using the standard pay $2-300 per phone upfront and pay an extra $50 a month for two years.
Though I would have preferred a price that was as cheap as the Nexus phones the Pixel in my opinion is worth the cost even given the negatives (no SD card). And Google Fi make it even better.
Trump can't kill the EPA without an act of Congress, just like the other 99% of things he's promised. And put right down to it there aren't very many congress critters that are going to vote to poison your water and air because they want to keep their jobs.
Your mistake is believing that Trump understands how government works. This would be a common error as his supporters likely believe he does as well. He probably believes that as president he has unlimited authority to do things our constitution doesn't allow him to do. He does have authority to change how government works a little bit, but he doesn't have the authority to unilaterally withdraw the US from ratified treaties or any of the 99% of things he's promised.
Hell he might actually understand that, but liars will promise you the moon then blame someone else when they can't deliver.
Your assumption that the Republican's would back not ratifying TPP belies the record. Democrats have been the opposition to TPP with the republican's in congress being it's advocate. Obama's and Clinton's support for TPP were actually in opposition to the bulk of the Democratic party.
Actually Trump's plan is fuck everyone, including the US labor market. Any change in trade policy creates winners and losers. The losers with the past deals were some low end blue collar jobs and the winners were the high end labor market and white collar jobs like engineering, banking, etc. The US is a world leader in engineering and services based economies and we've accomplished that by trading low end manufacturing jobs for high paid engineering type jobs.
Trade policies, like those advocated by Trump, will result in job losses in the white collar jobs. They are also likely to trigger trade wars that result in losses across the board. Even if you want to bring factories back to the US there is no way to do so overnight, by triggering a trade war you shutoff the white collar jobs and at _best_ those blue collar jobs might return in 5 years (it can take from 5-10 years for manufacturing jobs to move). Usually what actually happens is the white collar jobs are decimated and the blue collar jobs don't ever come back because the economy goes into major recession when the white collar jobs are lost.
Not that I think he'll change trade policy, he's going to be a re-run of the Bush administration. If Congress hasn't ratified by the TPP by the time he gets there he could revoke it but he doesn't have the authority without congressional action to terminate the TPP if Congress has already ratified it (the constitution holds ratified treaties on the same level as the constitution and the president cannot withdraw from ratified treaties without approval of congress). My bet is that he'll change little to nothing on trade policy and like the Bush administration he'll pursue a policy of tax-cuts and increased deficit spending.
They aren't stopping anyone from selling the phones. They are simply saying doing so violates their TOS and they won't provide you software services anymore. They are under no obligation to provide software services and by violating their TOS you take the risk that they decide not to provide those services. That's the risk you take when you aren't a paying customer, Google's customers are their advertisers, not you.
This has been pointed out a hundred times. There are MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT groups with the name La Raza. The judge was the member of a legal professional organization in California, not the Florida one you are claiming. They aren't connected and the claim that they are the same comes from the alt-right white nationalist groups.
They weren't "thrown under the bus". They allowed their credentials to be stolen and used. The rest of the banking world isn't obligated to protect a central bank from their own lax security. Those credentials should have been guarded with the highest security possible and a full time team of personal dedicated to monitoring and protecting those credentials, like every other nation on earth.
They want to blame everyone else for their own mistake, and just like every third world nation they pointed their fingers at the US for not stopping a transaction that was originated with the central bank's credentials. The fault was theirs and theirs alone. The system worked exactly as it should have, no other bank or country should be questioning or blocking transactions initiated by the central bank of another nation.
DOW Futures were down almost a 1000 points when it looked like Trump might actually win because of all the idiots voting for 3rd parties. Expect a significant stock market crash tommorow, by the time he takes office the ecomomy is going to be in recession unless he repudiates his threats to reneg on the existing free trade agreements and other economic suicide policies he's promissed to implement to placate the ignorant. He's scared the business community so badly that most companies will halt investments, within a month layoffs will start because everyone is holding back waiting to see how badly he fucks up trade and the economy. Negative views like this become self fullfiling in very short order because emotion drives the market.
The great recession that Obama narrowly stopped turning into a full depression is going to cycle back around. And just like Bush's first term when R's controlled both houses they will cut taxes, increase spending and sink the countries future. But maybe we'll get lucky and he'll start a nuclear war because someone insulted him.
Navy's don't throw lead at each other anymore because a missile can do 10x the damage with 1000x the accuracy. Ballistic fired lead can be easily avoided with standard naval countermeasure steering (random changes in direction) making it essentially worthless in naval battles. Even 16" guns can be negated with as little as 18" of reinforced concrete that the battleship could unload every shell in their arsenal into without penetrating making the big guns essentially worthless for land bombardment. Big balls of lead are worthless, that's why all the real munitions these days are missiles with shaped charges or other hi-tech warheads.
Every rape trial up until the rape shield laws of the 90's was a trial of the victim. Every single one. Often the victim was put through horrible, awful and completely legal practices to try to paint the victim as a liar. This was standard practice 101 for defending someone indicted on rape and remained this way right up until the rape shield laws changed the rules. In an era without DNA evidence the trial often came down to he said/she said and the only effective defense was to convince the jury the victim was a liar.
She NEVER laughed about the rape. She nervously laughed at a joke about polygraph testing (lie detector) being completely unreliable. I listened to it, you clearly did not. She implied her client was guilty with this joke but only inferred it, though it would normally be unethical if this statement had been public before the trial the statement was months after the trial and acquittal of rape charges. Had the statement been truly unethical by the state's standards she would have been punished by her legal board. I suspect that such implied statements are perfectly fine once the trial has been adjudicated as she no longer represented the man but I'm not a bar member.
You are clearly biased with a line to sell. Not everyone buys that line. The objective evidence indicates a young attorney who was forced to defend a client who was clearly guilty, that the state lost key evidence and as a result a truly horrible person was let off on minor criminal charges. She laughed about it because like anyone involved in things like this they use humor to cope with the awfulness of it. Cops do it, crime scene investigators do, attorney's and DA's do it, firemen do it and anyone that deals with objectively horrible things do it. You'd burn out in less than a year in any of these jobs dealing with cases like this one where you are forced to participate if you don't find a coping mechanism and humans use humor to cope. These are broad sociological actions that exist throughout all cultures that no one should be judged for, not the fireman that makes an awful joke about a houseful of kids being burned alive nor the attorney that jokes about polygraph machines clearly not working because her client passed one. It's absurd to hold Clinton to a standard that's higher than we hold anyone else to.
When the US, Europe or Japan builds a fantastically expensive new supercomputer they use it to study the high energy physics of a star or climate modeling or some other science with extreme computational needs while in China they apparently build supercomputer to link to cattle-prod bearing robots meant to monitor and control the populace.
And there are still people that think China is going to win some worldwide battle of culture.
Though drinking water is the primary concern the Tribe has also expressed concerns that the pipeline route crosses unidentified native burial and archeological sites that were not identified in the environmental documents but readily visible. Within 24 hours of filing with the court a list of over 120 of these sites the contractor building the pipeline had demolished every site listed in the document, even starting construction in areas where it was planned to begin for months.
This alone paints a very bad picture of the company and the state groups charged with protecting native remains and sites. The fact that every listed site was demolished within 24 hours should be grounds for significant damages and an immediate halt to all construction activity. See the power of the state of ND has been brought to bear on this pipeline, government and police power is being used to enforce construction because the state has an interest in seeing this pipeline built.
Given what I've heard about the environmental process and document that was prepared for this work I don't believe the state and commercial interest have acted in good faith. The tribe's concerns are valid and were ignored or not addressed. These are all violations of NEPA rules.

Trump is anti net-neutrality, this should NOT be a surprise to his supporters.
