that show Ryzen doing better than Intel in modern games due to the better multi-core. Intel will crank out higher avg FPS but has much, much worse 1% lows. If you're already hitting 120+ FPS then for a lot of games the Ryzen's a better experience, especially a Ryzen 2. Right now a passmark single-thread score of 2100 seems to be the sweet spot for everything except Total Warhammer & Ashes of the Singularity.
Now, if price isn't an object then you just go with Intel's $1000 or $2000 part and get the best of both worlds, but if you're on any kind of budget whatsoever Ryzen's probably the way to go. But you're right about "Know your workload". That changes if you're a heavy strat gamer.
and so does Amazon. Funny how nobody says "median" or even "mean". This being a nerd site I'd like to think most of us understand the difference and why it is Amazon (and yourself) use the word "Average". In case a non-nerd stumbles across it, it's because the Average is a much higher number than the median due to a small number of well paid employees.
Sex slaves. Monuments built in your name and image. Worship. Scientific advancements to improve your life and longevity. Good 'ole sadism, or maybe just the opposite: feeling like a white knight when you swoop in to save the day with food donations.
Power isn't a means to an end, it's an end in itself. If you're not smart enough to immerse yourself in the wonder of the universe like Einstein did and you don't need to work for a living there's not much else left.
marks and are forced to move away from the Nigerian prince method (so ridiculous only someone who's not all there in the head would fall for it) and into trying to scam people who have some of their senses left.
Overton window. When the Dems moved right the GOP had to follow to suit to maintain a separate identity. Trouble is that left the Dems without an identity of their own.
One thing the left does need to deal with though is the fallout and backlash from #METOO. I'm not sure how either. On the one had we need to stop this crap where powerful men can can force themselves on vulnerable women. OTOH it's scary to think that an hitting on a girl awkwardly or making a dirty joke can cost you everything (Al Franklin anyone?). We need to find a balance. But I don't now how. The GOP doesn't have this problem since they're perfectly Ok with going the other way and letting women be victimized as long as the tax cuts keep on coming...
not in a modern setting. Where gov't breaks down is when food get scarce.
as for who decides what is reasonable, there's only one answer to that: Democracy with mandatory voting and literally all citizens have a vote. And I mean _all_ citizens. I don't care if you're a mass murderer on death row, you get a vote. The only way to have Democracy is to end voter suppression, and the only way to do that is to make voting the one right we never compromise on.
There's also numerous emoluments clause violations that are so blatant that the question isn't "Is he guilty" it's "have be abandoned the rule of law". You can google them, it's not hard.
As for Trump himself, that's coming. We're taking down the most powerful man on earth. One who gave billions of dollars to the 1% who would like very much for that gravy train to continue. You can't just throw together a case overnight. He'll ignore the impeachment and the current SCOTUS will let it slide.
Go read up on Nixon. It took a while to bring the pain.
because it's not a pork barrel project. NASA money is used to buy votes for other things from the Senators who have NASA projects in their states. Well, that and the government did all the real hard stuff in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
the Dems have never had a left wing majority. Back in the 90s Bill Clinton moved the party hard right to appeal to corporate donors and get the money he needed to win election. He was followed by a raft of wealthy trial lawyers trying to block tort reform (especially laws that enshrined arbitration since if you can't sue in the first place you don't need a lawyer). Also economically right wing but socially liberal folks (e.g. people who were pro gay rights & pro-choice but didn't want to pay taxes).
This resulted in a wave of what are called "Establishment Democrats". Folks like Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi & Hilary Clinton. They vote exactly like the GOP except on social issues (and even then they're right of center, Hilary opposed Gay marriage until she was forced by changing times). They're often called "Republican Lite".
Give the Dems a majority but make 1/3 of that majority "Republican Lite" and yeah, this'll go no where. The key is to vote for people who refuse corporate PAC money. Ro Khanna is one of those. Bernie Sanders & Liz Warren are too. And Ocassio-Cortez. Look up the "Justice Democrats", which is a wing of the party that makes refusing corporate PAC money a requirement to join. I'd tell you to vote in the primary too but it's too late for that. Just remember to do it next year.
If you want change you have to vote people in that are likely to make that change.
just an excuse for rich folks with too much money to spend a day out? Crap like this is what makes me wish for the glory days of a 90% marginal tax rate. If you're gonna shred your money anyway might as well spend it on roads and schools.
but if you're on their property trespassing and refuse to leave then you're the one committing a crime. In the physical world I'd call the cops on you, but in the digital one I just delete your account.
/. is required to take down the first in virtually all countries and the second in most. It would also generally be considered responsible journalism to take down the second as giving murders a platform is considered irresponsible.
Go right ahead and post your how-to guide on/. hacking servers. They'll fix the bug and move on. It'd be a dick move to do it without proper notice though.
it has to be the _right_ 60%.... A Montanan voter has 46 times more political power than a California one, even though they get a big chunk of change from the taxes paid by that CA voter...
he lied under oath. Sometimes laughably (Boofing is _not_ a fart and the "Devil's Triangle" is a 3 way). He was born rich and spent his life as a judge siding with other wealthy people, very often to the determent of those less fortunate than him. And his in his testimony he could barely contain his temper. His rage was that of a man who's used to getting what he wants no matter what.
If you can't see that you've let anger towards the #metoo movement blind everything. You're the one doing something by anything necessary. You want this guy to win. Probably because it's a personal victory to you.
I'm way, way more worried about the ultra wealthy building a totalitarian dictatorship than a few bitchy chicks running women's studies departments at community colleges. Those are the types you're railing against. Meanwhile billionaires keep sending our jobs overseas and bringing in more H1-Bs, sending our kids off to die in their wars and making us pay for their castles. They're laughing at your failed attempts to maintain freedom even as they gourd you into a blind rage. They win, you lose. And I lose too.
If you want a platform people can post to that has those protections it needs to be government run. Make a gov't competitor to Facebook & Youtube if you want that. But generally people who deride Democrats for something they have no control over are opposed to "Big G'vmt" doing public works projects...
the employees goals aren't necessarily aligned with management, and a highly educated workforce generally knows this. That's why CA is in general more liberal. They don't trust their management.
At the end of the day the only thing big enough to stand up to a Mega corp is a central government. Yeah, it's a risk, but without organization we just get picked off by robber barons.
don't get fooled, they're in it for themselves. Big Tech spent a ton of money getting Dems in office who support anti-work politics (like the H1-B program, tax incentives for offshoring, etc). Ro Khanna is the real deal. An actual populist who refuses corporate PAC money. He doesn't fear Big Tech because he doesn't take their money.
we're all saying bad things about him, but sticks and stones. He's already a multi-millionaire. And let's not forget that Kavanaugh is the mega corporation's own pick. He was chosen but a raft of right wing think thanks funded by large donations.
Nobody's going to cancel their Facebook account over this and the behavior of exec in question is likely to go over well at the country club. A few left winger's are upset, but again, not enough to stop doing business with Facebook. Seems like this will blow over.
What will not blow over is the consequences from seating a justice who has repeatedly shown himself to favor corporations over people. Seriously, go google Kavanaugh's record. Assuming you're not yourself in favor of corps over people then you will not like what you see.
we keep electing people who are opposed to gov't regulation, which Anti-trust laws are. We shouldn't act surprised when said laws are either weakened or unenforced.
You can't have a functioning government that only functions when you want it to. Not unless you're rich enough to bribe yourself to one. If we want effective government regulation we have to start electing people who say and do those things.
to maintain Excel Sheets or Access DBs, but they'll be happy to have you work an extra 10-20 hours a week doing it.
Also, you can't really get cheap Indians to do the work because it's so basic you can't argue there's no Americans to do it, so companies can't just bring in an H1-B and stick them with that extra 20/hr week of work and not pay for it like they do for other software tools.
are all about the same and none of them will support a board much past 2 years. After 6 months all your getting is the occasional new CPU.
There's nothing wrong with ASRock but they're not known for durability. I will say I seldom see them on the second hand market which implies that's for a reason.
There's probably some server board makers out there if you want to spend $600 and you'll get your bios upgrades, but you could buy 2 or 3 good boards for that price. Plus the chips they take usually cost 2-3x times as much too.
Basically, it's consumer grade hardware. The best you can hope for is that it doesn't break in 5 years. Everything after that is gravy.
