Dark Matter is merely the name given to the observation. It's not a theory stating that the universe is full of black stuff that's hard to see. There are many competing ideas on what exactly dark matter is. The possibility that we just have got gravity wrong again is one of them. Once we can account for the observations then it will no longer be called dark matter. It will be called something more appropriate.
This is something that layman reporting on physics often does a poor job of explaining. It's often presented as Dark Matter is a specific thing and scientists have been spending years trying to find data to prove it. That's bad science and not at all how it works. The reality is, dark matter and dark energy are just placeholder terms for observed behavior of the universe and there are many possible causes for those observations. They've been spending the last 30 years going down the list and crossing the possibilities off with clever new experiments and ever better observations.
Its undocumented to anyone who isn't an Intel partner clearly. The motherboard manufacturers obviously know about it because its made for them. But its existent was kept under NDA so anyone who did know about it wasn't talking.
The reasoning there is kind of obvious, if it really is a full logic analyzer then you could learn a lot about Intel hardware with this thing. Would be very useful for competitors to reverse engineer Intel's products without much effort. What doesn't make sense is why it isn't permanently disabled before leaving the factory. Security through obscurity is not valid.
No, custom has little to do with it. The lack of standards is the issue. x86 has a standard for everything, layouts, power delivery, card form factors, the way the system boots. It's all a spec that can be referenced and built to. Parts interchangeability lowers the cost. ARM doesn't have that. Some of the x86 stuff they can adopt, especially the physical and power standards but others like the boot process need to be done on their own. And they all need to agree on it.
You can't solve lack of hardware options with virtualization. Virtualization allows you more flexibility with your hardware but you have to actually have it first for that to work. If you dont have the PCIe lanes for 10Gbe cards then you just dont.
Defensive? No. But its hard not to be annoyed when all of the news agencies and half the internet have been screaming about a conspiracy theory for two years. At this point you're starting to sound like flat earthers.
ARS literally posted an article yesterday about how Huawei's management software in windows was using a technique the NSA developed for injecting instructions at the supervisor level from an unprivileged program. Their justification for it also didn't hold water because windows has built in functionality that can achieve what they wanted.
Not necessarily. Its no secret that the purpose of SLS is not to actually go anywhere but to provide political pork. They have milked the program for over 15 years and have nothing to show for it. I think they could get it up and flying very quickly with proper reform and motivation. We were able to get Apollo 11 on the moon within 10 years and at the time we had no idea what we are doing. Making a moon rocket aint cheap but it should be much faster and easier now. The lack of pace isn't due to lack of funding, its corruption.
NASA would have plenty of money if they weren't forced to throw it down the hole into the money pit that is SLS. They've been at that for 15 years and have spent billions playing with shuttle spare parts and have nothing to show for it. They cant even get an upper stage put together. Its not a funding issue. Its a corruption issue.
They do that by design. If LED lightbulbs don't have an MTBF similar to old incandescent bulbs then the manufacturers stand to lose a lot of money. So they are intentionally made like crap. Everyone thought that with LEDs we wouldn't have to change lightbulbs anymore. That was naive. Incandescent bulbs can last much longer than what we were used to as well. But there is no money in it
Corporations are always going to take the path of least resistance. Whatever makes them more money. YouTube has region blocking because its cheaper and easier to implement than it is to deal with the alternative. The question of whether this is a similar case is yet to be seen. I think it all depends on just how aggressively it is enforced. We've seen in the past that Google is more than willing to just cut out an entire segment of content if following the new rules is less profitable, see what happened when Spain tried this. If obeying these new laws proves to be too difficult or expensive then you can expect the large internet firms to drop Europe.
Read up on the East India Tea Company. Was very much an international corporation with a standing army and navy and successfully subjugated empires on its own. Their downfall only came about when they bit off more than they could chew. People look to SciFi for hypercorps like Tyrell and Wayland-Yutani that have more power than nations but they should look to the past. They existed once.
There is also a limit to how much they will bend to local laws. Tech companies, like any company will take the path of least resistance whatever it may be. For GDPR it was simple arithmetic. Beyond a certain size it made financial sense to follow the regulation to keep doing business in the EU. For smaller companies however, often times single person or mom and pop affairs, it was impossible to take on the overhead so they stopped selling to the EU. Stuff like this makes me wonder what the path of least resistance will be and how far are both sides willing to go.
The Australians and Kiwis are clearly no friends to the liberal ideals of freedom of speech and thought. These social media companies at a low level rely on user's ability to hold those freedoms. Threatening jail time is a major escalation. I see the companies pulling their physical offices out of freedom hating countries long term. There isn't really any need to have a physical office there anyways unless its a geolocated data center. What then? Will Australia seize the datacenter for storing "objectionable content"? Will they issue arrest warrants for Larry Page and Mark Zuckerberg? Are they willing to damage diplomatic relations with the US over that?
Not to say that Google, Facebook or any of the other tech companies are good guys. Plenty of things to criticize them for, and their own inconsistent application of freedom of speech is one of them. But I take a hard stance when tyrants try to censor. New Zealand has an official censor. No western country should have a censor. WTF.
We all know how this will end. Google, Facebook et al are going to just drop all EU content and depending on how aggressive the individual laws are may even just block entire countries outright. They aren't going to give up their business model over this, it will be Spain all over again and soon Euro IP's will be blocked from/. Its been fun Euro users, may we meet again some day.
Dark energy is just the name given to observed data that we yet don't have an explanation for. Once the actual nature of dark energy and dark matter are determined they may have broad implications for every day life but they also may not. I don't think anyone really knows enough about them yet to really say. What we do know is all of this mass and energy interacts very weakly with the rest of the mass and energy we can see.
You are thinking of CNN which was innovative at the time for being the first cable only news network. ABC, NBC, CBS are all broadcasters and are licensed.
And all of those indictments had nothing to do with Trump. It was all dirty and shady things those people did on their own. Trump hired a lot of veteran beltway types for his campaign. It should come as a shock to nobody that anyone who has spent more than a week working there is dirty. If you dug around in any campaign you would find the same kind of stuff for everyone. I'm willing to put money on it.
As for why Trump fired Comey and why is isn't obstruction, I'm no legal expert. But if I had to guess, it may be because as Mueller's findings show there was nothing to it and it was a waste of time. It was also built upon a lie, the dossier made by Steele, a foreign agent by the way. Session's had started a major push to crack down on human trafficking and Comey was working on a sham investigation. He didn't get with the program and had clear political motives. I'd fire his ass too.
I love how you hypocrites were worshiping Mueller and now that report doesn't say what you want it to say he becomes a pawn of Trump. You never will stop moving the goal posts will you? You decided long ago that he must be guilty of something so therefore no matter how many professional law enforcement officers, lawyers, judges and other legal experts tell you he didn't, you still refuse to believe it.
You are not smarter and more qualified than Mueller to make that decision. Neither are you more qualified than the team of lawyers he had. Give it up already. Let's get back to talking about policy.
While its going to be bad for Boeing in the short term this isn't going to kill them or the 737 in the long run. These kinds of things have sadly happened before and inevitably fines will be levied, some people will go to jail and they are going to have bad financials for a few quarters. This isn't even the worst scandal about an airliner I've seen nor is it the worst one Boeing has been involved in.
Yes but a car or paintball gun isn't useless in a few years. Video cards depreciate fast and hard just like most PC hardware. I am less willing to spend $450 on something that has a shelf life.
I remember there was a time when the high end model GPUs were about $350. Now Nvidia wants over a grand. Now you can argue that things like Tensor cores and RTX are value adds that make it worthwhile. But frankly I don't care about ray tracing right now. I've seen the demos and it doesn't really change enough to matter. Sometimes I even get the RTX on and RTX off renders confused and prefer the normal one. They are charging professional workstation card prices for a consumer grade gaming card. It's greedy BS.
You could not buy the cheap chinese crap. I had to get a new battery for my laptop last month. Lenovo stopped supplying batteries for my model thinkpad some time ago but I was able to locate a new-old stock Sanyo battery originally made for my laptop. Has 100% capacity and shouldn't explode.
It can be hard to make sure that all subcomponents in a part are well sourced of course. At some point you have to trust the supplier. But keep in mind that even in new products most of the parts come from China already.
Indeed, if the giant several thousand ton automated smelter only has Win95 drivers then you are using Win95. Its easier and cheaper to deal with the support overhead than it is to replace massive industrial equipment.

I see what you did there.

Your joke is so last week. Besides, its Congress that approved NASA the funding to buy seats on Russian rockets, not the Trump admin.

Amen. This just sounds like another attack vector and another reason for Chrome to gobble up even more memory.
