last I heard they were going to break it with version 40 sometime in August. There's a ton of work that'll have to be done to make it work properly in a multi-process environment. More or less a full re-write. To say nothing of having to redo all my UI components. Here's hoping they get cross compatibility with Chrome so I can at least get some code reuse out of it.
I keep hearing on/. that AMD has fixed their drivers (as long as you don't want SLI), but then the Steam forums are lit up with AMD users fighting with their cards on games like Fallout 4, Doom, Far Cry 4, you name it. I got burned by an AMD Card many years ago after upgrading from my rock solid 1650x. I'm a cheapskate and don't have a ton of money so I've been gun shy on AMD. My last card was a GTX 660 and I hate to say it by my next card will probably be a 1060. I miss the better image quality AMD offered and the vastly better performance for the price, but I don't have it in me to screw with video drivers on and off...
The RX480 launched around July/August. They got generally good reviews too (besides some power issues with the reference RX480) and were available when the 10XX line cards were either not available or being scalped for silly prices (I saw 1060s going for upwards to $400).
Some of us aren't so empty that we can't find better things to do than work all day. A factory job or digging ditches or cleaning house for the well to do is just as soul deadening of you ask me. I could be writing games or music or my little toy apps or reading or cycling any I of a dozen cool things besides making somebody else rich.
In this country. We can't all be highly educated office workers. What the hell do you think would happen to your wages if even 10 million more people competed for your job? What you're suggesting is that people pull themselves up by their boot straps. What you're ignoring is that is literally physically impossible.
Because their factories are making card too fast for the market to bear (and presumably dropping the price would result in lower profit overall). So yeah, it's already happening.
it's just that like folks tend to side with like folks. It's how people are, and there's plenty of studies to prove it. The defense just has to get enough of the right kind of people on the jury to keep from a conviction. And it's a lot easier when the defendant is a well to do white man. Pretending otherwise is silly.
if he had some European customers maybe (and he might have, since it'd be a great way to "launder" the goods, so to speak). But in the US if you hire a business to do a job and they kill a bunch of people in the process you're almost always blameless. You'd have to prove that a) they knew about it and b) they were actively seeking someone to break the law. Our Juries are mostly old white dudes (it's true, even if it makes folks uncomfortable to think about), especially on trials that can last a while like this. They tend to side with people and not the state prosecutors when it's other old white dudes.
Indictment != conviction. Talk to me when this guy does hard time for poisoning the water supply of the kids in whichever hell hole got the electronics dumped there.
Anyone remember when that mining CEO got some actual jail time for ignoring safety regs and falsifying safety reports? The accidents weren't what made the news, the fact that we actually punished somebody for them did.
in light of the Trump Administration. Solar is very cost effective when you account for all the externalities (e.g. pollution). But with enough deregulation that could easily change. Not that coal had been doing that will pre-Obama (a lot of it is used to make steel, and there's a glut of the stuff from China) but I could see a resurgence.
but at 6' it's uncomfortable as heck for me and it's also a death trap. My point is that Capitalism isn't going to correct for shit. I'll skip the Yaris and the Plugin. At $30k I'll take half of that, but a 2 year old entry level Sedan, save a few thousand on top of that and put it in my gas tank. I'll also survive the crash I get in (without injuries) like clockwork every 5 years when some numskull on his third week of 7 consecutive 12 hour shifts finally falls asleep at the wheel (thanks again Capitalism).
And Capitalism created White Flight (google it) and the slums that mean I can't safely live anywhere near I work. Buddy of mine lives in one of those 'cheap' houses. He had to stay home a few days this year because somebody shot up his house (stray bullets) and his wife was shook up).
a. Bullshit. The IRS went after a few Right wing 'nonprofits' because they were so obviously political they were easy pickings for lazy auditors. The left doesn't do that because there's a multi-billion dollar media machine that savages them (fox news, briebart, etc, etc)
b. So what? Every president expands the spying regimes. I don't like it, and fuck if I'll defend it, but if you want to get away from that crap then your only way out is to take away the _reason_ people are spying: money. We need this spy network to keep tabs on terrorists. We have terrorists because we have to meddle in other countries affairs so we can all have personal automobiles that guzzle gas. Build a real public transit system. Start up a UBI program so we're not at each other's throats all the time. Get some God Damned Worker Solidarity for Christ's sake and stop letting the mega corps pick you apart like that snake picture of the old colonies.
but having the arrogant so and so name it after a butler bother's me. Maybe if he coulda got the 'Jeevs' name (it sounds sillier than Jarvis).
Oh, and besides the voice activation we had this kind of crap on my C64. I remember seeing advertised in computer catelogs back in the day and thought it was awesome. I sorta out grew it though. I mean, I can turn my own lights off. Maybe when I'm 80 I can't, in which case I could see this being useful.
I'm not entirely sure how to approach legalizing prostitution, but that's not what will stop human trafficking. It's Slavery basically, and you've got to stop people from being sold into slavery. That means giving people in general more money. Put enough money in the system and Slavery isn't economical any more. There's better places to spend your capital than on people. It's why just about all slavery is people from dirt poor countries being dragged into wealthier ones. Good 'ole socialism will stop modern slavery. Nothing else.
to the company that makes the software and/or the charity that runs the anti slavery ring (not sure why we call it "human trafficking" now. Spade a spade and all that). This is how you do giveaways to your friends without getting called on it.
I can get a 4 door death mobile (Versa/Elantra/Fit/Yaris) for 1/3 that. Yeah, I won't survive a crash with an SUV, but looking at what I'm driving you gotta ask yourself, do I want to?
And your right about Capitalism. It doesn't give a rats ass. When food becomes scarce because of climate change that's just more profits for the folks who own the farms. Sure, 10% of the population will starve (that seems to be the # you can really take a dump on before you get problems) but hey, Capitalism doesn't care about anything. Especially morality and human suffering.
Obama did a few odds/ends executive orders that could have been shut down by Congress if they cared to bother. Mostly he didn't lock up non-violent drug offenders and he didn't go out of his way to deport illegal immigrants who were holding down jobs (though his admin still did a fuck load of deporting). The right didn't care that much about #1 and actively support #2 so long as they don't have to admit it to their base (they can't get enough of that sweet, sweet cheap labor).
We don't need federalism. The federal gov't were the ones that put a stop to the farce that was "Separate but Equal". They broke up the Trusts. They enabled the Unions that created the middle class. They bring in real and effective disaster relief and keep our shipping ports open. The State governments have proven themselves powerless to stand against even the smallest tyrannies time and time again. Look at Flint, Mi's Water supply (that Gov Snyder is still fighter the cleanup of) and the complete breakdown in Democracy it represented.
What's the phrase about small gov'ts? Small enough to drown in a bathtub? That's your democracy. Small enough to drown in a bathtub...
as has already been pointed out in this thread there's terabytes and terabytes of data. After the initial fervor over a new study is over It's often stuffed on tape archives and the like. Available on request and with little fanfare.
I'll put it in nerd terms: Remember the crappy port of FF7 for PC? That's because square didn't keep the data around. This is like that, but since you can't emulate the environment we're all going to die of starvation because we didn't save the data needed to fix crap.
of cars. I'm here in Phoenix, Az with very little heavy industry and a fuckton of cars and there are days when the air is dangerous for children and old people.
and India. IBM dumped almost all of it's non-Sales staff except a few researches to work on high profile projects that keep them in the news. IBM has long since switched to being an Indian outsourcer who occasionally does some research as part of a broader marketing push. They said as much around 2008 when they did their last round of layoffs.
made of skulls. I recommend lava and/or pools of sharks or piranha (whichever's in season). For security nothing beats savage panthers, but you can use tigers in a pinch. You'll probably want to invest in a pool of acid and winch/pulley system to lower intruders into. There's a pretty good guide over here.
