How will this work without the patents? The trouble with open sourcing it is that it's almost guaranteed that AMD has stepped on a few nVidia patents. Hell the patent mess is half the reason nVidia never went whole hog on open source.
Also this does smack of desperation:(... Good luck AMD.
When they own nearly all of pop culture. Unless your going to go live under a rock you're gonna be giving then some money. They own ESPN for Christ sakes. I know your already rattling of in your head all the non Disney stuff you watch and read but try keeping your kids away from it without them seeming weird. Media consumption is a social thing for most people. If you keep your kids away from all the stuff everybody else likes they'll lose a huge amount of common ground that helps then relate. That goes for you too. A lack of common interests is one of the things that isolates nerds...
was that their biggest creditor was because they couldn't weasel out of paying for a terrible wreak caused by one of their drivers. $8 mil of their $20 mil in debt is for that. I wonder if this is just the first step in folding the company and reforming it so they can skip out on paying the poor gal who got hit. This is why folks in the know hate Uber. It's all about externalizing your costs onto somebody else.Uber's doing the same damn thing but "with an App" so it's OK.
but that doesn't mean there isn't one. There are lots and lots of people who just want to stop working at the age of 65. There are lots of people we really _need_ to stop working at the age of 65.
The other problem is what these people do to wages. It's funny how discussions about supply and demand go out the window when we talk about wages and standard of living going _down_. The phrase you're looking for is "The hollowing out of the middle class". They're driving down wages for drivers, which in turn means folks who might have been happy making a modest living driving are now desperately trying to find a career that pays them enough for food/rent. A few of 'em make it in other professions, like computer tech. Then the computer tech's wages go down and a few of those end up pushed into becoming programmers and systems analysts, driving down those wages. Here's another good phrase: "Race to the bottom".
This isn't the sharing economy. It's not the gig economy. It's the same old song and dance that happens when there's an over supply of labor without social programs to compensate. If you're one of the winners, bully for you. You got yours, fuck me (another popular phrase). But it's a winner take all economy. Like a lottery. Statistically if you're reading this you're not winning.
I'm looking forward to some poor sap in Utah going to jail because they didn't report a pic of a 17 year old girl. What happens if it's her laptop and she forgets something? The potential for abuse is epic, and prosecutes are always happy to put another notch in their belt.
here in Arizona when I started seeing these ads on youtube with a bunch of old people talking about something scary, ending with a passionate plea to vote for such and such law, which turned out to be a law that let the power companies stop paying for the electricity folks with solar panels put back into the grid.
The whole "net metering" debate is just the power companies fighting solar. As time goes on it'll make electricity _too_ cheap. The reason we have public utilities is that businesses are in the business of making money; so for anything more important than a twinkie you're going to get price gouged sooner or later...
Because gun owners are, by and large, single issue voters. Politically you can do anything you please to then so long as you don't touch their guns. They're also a highly motivated and well organized voting block. They swing elections in our two party system. People in favor of gun control, by contrast, are much less likely to vote and if they do have a host of more pressing issues.
If you care about this country then please, drop the gun control issue. You've lost. Focus on improving folks access to food, shelter, education and health services instead...
Seriously. Or or just a troll. Or a shill for some PAC or another. I can't decide, maybe you can't either.
Here's a radical, crazy, batshit insane idea. Why don't we pay their parents enough so that their kids don't have to work in dangerous mines? Now _that's_ socialism. Preserving species from extinction is Environmentalism. They have absolutely fucking nothing to do with each other except sometimes socialists happen to be environmentalists. We're also humanists first and foremost.
When someone criticizes things that are just plain right it's OK to call them on it. If you're just trying to point out that _other_ idiots can criticize things please stop. You're spreading infectious and nasty ideas.
Jesus, the stuff that gets modded up on/. these days...
because if you don't it becomes a quick wink and a nod situation. If you look at bank laws they focus on intent so that you can't say one thing and do another. But then again bank laws matter to the rich, laws against child labor? Well I guess they matter, in so much as they actively oppose them.
anywhere it's been tried. What you were probably thinking of is the many, many Fascist Dictatorships that happened to use Karl Marx's books for rhetoric (Russia, China, North Korea, etc). Democratic Socialism works just fine, thank you very much.
That want an i5 or better. Arkham Knight, Just Cause 3 and some of the Ubisoft games (Far Cry 4 et al) have troubles with lower end CPUs. There's strong evidence that the reason is that the problems are due to the newer DRM encrypting the entire game and decrypting it on the fly but I haven't heard a 100% confirmation of that from anyone.
Intel's next CPUs are suppose to have hardware support for decryption. I think you're going to get stuck with a powerful CPU at some point to run games for just that reason.
when they're probably all owned by the same 50 or 60 people? I mean, you're stuck buying the tool anyway, and a cheap tool breaks and has to be replaced.
I like AMD and all, but we're talking about a company that ships water coolers with their i7 competitors ( the 9xxx line). My brother's running his i7 with a stock fan... I'd love to be proven wrong but right now AMD just doesn't seem like they can hang. My A10-5800k is nice and all but in games it's about the equivalent of a mid range i3, but I can replace that i3 with a 5 or a 7... With the AMD the best I could do is an 8350...
$8 billion is piddly squat next to their profits, and they benefit handsomely from Europe's robust social programs (health care for their employees, education, roads, the Internet, etc, etc).
here in America who believe in all of that. They're mostly white male Christians living in Texas and the American South.
The "culture" your referring to is mostly a byproduct of America meddling in Middle Eastern politics to prevent the spread of socialism. Iran was a secular nation until we decided we didn't like their democratically elected gov't and helped eject them. There are pictures of girls in skirts from the 50s before we stuck our nose in. Iraq was, for all of Saddam's faults, going the same route and Modernizing.
If you going to say their religion lets them do bad things that's true of Christianity in spades. Whatever horrible thing I might want to do to you today there's a line in the bible that lets me do it. Hell, you don't even need to be an Infidel. Oh, and I'll remind you that Christians are not, in fact, infidels. Atheists and pagans are.
AT&T & Verizon are working hard to kill POTS because it's burdened by tons of consumer protection laws that require them to offer good service to unprofitable customers in exchange for monopolies. Mobile has a lot fewer regulations. VOIP has almost none.
It's really hard to eliminate existing protections for consumers, but it's easy to prevent new ones from being created. Nobody even notices when they new stuff doesn't have them. That's what the "Sharing" economy is about. Getting rid of those pesky labor rules. This is the same thing.

They were never an employee of Uber to begin with. Uber has no employees, they're strictly an information service, right? Right?

With federal grants. Now a days we just sorta abandon folks to their fate...
Is a lack of funding after 30 years of minimal tax cuts for workers and massive tax cuts for the folks at the top. Look at Flint Michigan.
I can't spell "You're". Feel free to point that out.
Seriously. Or or just a troll. Or a shill for some PAC or another. I can't decide, maybe you can't either.

Went up in flames due to a problem with after market coolers...
I like AMD and all, but we're talking about a company that ships water coolers with their i7 competitors ( the 9xxx line). My brother's running his i7 with a stock fan... I'd love to be proven wrong but right now AMD just doesn't seem like they can hang. My A10-5800k is nice and all but in games it's about the equivalent of a mid range i3, but I can replace that i3 with a 5 or a 7... With the AMD the best I could do is an 8350...
you've already lost by calling it "Intellectual Property". It's always nice to pick the terms in a debate...
$8 billion is piddly squat next to their profits, and they benefit handsomely from Europe's robust social programs (health care for their employees, education, roads, the Internet, etc, etc).
but I'm still going to have to replace it when the power jack dies :).
You're a slave to your car. To the payments, the maintenance, the smog and the wars fought to keep gas cheap.
Who thinks this reads like a "Netcraft Confirms" post? Besides, Bitcoin's not going anywhere as long as folks are using it to buy drugs
