I prefer FES (Flywheel Energy Storage). Either place it in a reinforced structure, or bury just at or below the surface so that in the event of catastrophic failure, no one will get hurt. In addition, a FES unit might also be economical to purchase cheap energy at night, store, then bleed from it during the day.
"The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers."...right after he pulverizes any and everything in said star systems first. The fine dust makes it easier.
Because your average Chinese citizen are brainwashed ignoramuses. Worse yet, it's not even a Chinese trait, rather a universal human one. Please see American and their consumption of MSM fake news. Oh Oh!!! But lookie what do we have here? Richard Pan, a California Senator, is introducing a bill to kill free speech as it requires state-sanctioned fact checkers to approve online content . Ministry of Truth!!!
You T it up, I'll knock it out of the park. Batter up!!
H1B was supposed to be about getting the Wernher von Braun's and Albert Einstein's of the world to be a part of the American all-star team of talent. But, that's not what it became, let alone used for. H1B is specifically about driving the cost of labor down. It's not that America has a shortage of STEM workers. It has in fact a shortage of cheap slave-wage applicants willing to take the job. For that kind of stress to pay ratio, there's better forms of employment that pay the same with a lot less stress. Meanwhile, the Fed keep printing money to pay for the benefits needed by those either under or unemployed. So the top 1% investor class reaps the rewards of slave labor, while the national debt payoff gets thrown to the middle class. Essentially, most American's are getting financially fucked in all orifices.
Exactly because of Enron, we have SOX compliance (Sarbanes–Oxley Act) for publicly traded companies. If they're doing what you think they're doing, SEC will move in, and people will be behind bars! I shit you not!
Facebook is many things, but they can't be that fucking stupid....or can they??
LOL, yeah, right. They wont fucking care. They'll still farm out development to the cheapest H1B staffed bidder. It's a risk assessment. They will simply pay the fine, and pass the loss onto the consumer until the next time. Lather, rinse, repeat.
IT is a cost center, and consumers of the services are treated like mushrooms - keep them in the dark and feed them shit!
If I had to guess, they've got lawyers on salary. Effectively, they've already been budged in advance. What do you got? Even if you win, you lose. They could financially bleed you dry until you give up.
because advertisers realize that they are throwing money at sites, and their ads are not landing on the popular good content, but all the shitty content that they neglected to filter out beforehand.
There should literately be nobody advertising on shitty channels like "infowars", and "the amazing athiest" yet somehow the algorithms think these channels are the same as teens getting kicked in the nuts.
It's metric based, statistics. Advertisers aren't "ministries of culture", nor should the be. They will match proper advertisements to specific markets however, but in the end, it's about making money.
Clickbait is a problem? It's symptomatic of people just being stupid. If it didn't generate so much ad revenue, you wouldn't see so many of these sites everywhere. That costs money to host and upkeep.
People who were in the 250k-500k sub range with 30-40% engagement were making $500-2500/mo a few years ago, and now make under $10/mo.
I'm blown away by this. You know, the competition to serve this market is unlimited. If I had deep pockets, I'd spool up a competing service as a "Youtube replacement" for members to flock too, then market the hell out of it with marketing and social media.
If free market principles are to take their natural course then all this crap going on with Youtube should be a temporary disruption. It might take a year or so (or less), but this wrong will be corrected on its own, and hopefully, content creators can get on with their lives doing what they love to do, and get paid for it.
"Doing" is not the same as "understanding". Gaming requires repetition, consistency, and often per-mutative testing and isolation to meet the goal most efficiently. But that's not at all the same and understanding how it all works in abstracts. Honestly, you'd be far better served hiring an automotive mechanic than a gamer for cyber security. At the mechanic has the foundational knowledge for troubleshooting and isolation.
Starfish Prime, you can look it up. It had a yield of 1.4MT.
From Wiki - "The Starfish Prime electromagnetic pulse also made those effects known to the public by causing electrical damage in Hawaii, about 1,445 kilometres (898 mi) away from the detonation point, knocking out about 300 streetlights,[6] setting off numerous burglar alarms and damaging a telephone company microwave link.[7] The EMP damage to the microwave link shut down telephone calls from Kauai to the other Hawaiian islands.[citation needed]
Spider mines - Because Starcraft was prophetic. No, I'm very serious. Imagine very fast crawlies (spiders) that ambush, jump, latch, then detonate. Or, how about a swarm of drones that inject a substance via needle that either debilitates an enemy combatant, or outright paralyzes them to death. That ladies and gentleman is the future of ground combat.
While GPGPU's are marketed for graphics, at some point, there will hit a law of diminishing returns. There's even talk of them blowing past all raster and into ray tracing; thought I'm not sure if and when that would be feasible. However, certainly easier to program for. Also, given their use in physics and other forms of computing, wouldn't it make more sense to call them GPSPU's (Genera-Purpose Specialized Processing Units)? Or would that acronym be reserved for FPGA's?
Why not both? I like the take on Huang's law. It's essentially the measure of performance that leverages all hardware/software advances that go into a single product, bench-marked over time. It's not a replacement, just offers a different, useful, perspective.
Wha...hold on there cowboy!! Apple (Tim Cook) has NOT been involved in the current scandal of violating customer privacy. You must be confused. It's really Google and Facebook whom are to blame. The only thing Apple is guilty of is charging obscene amounts for what otherwise is stock-standard Intel hardware for the Macbooks and shitty-ass Beats. But again, when it comes to privacy, Tim seems to be the lone crusader against Google, Facebook, CIA, and FBI.

Only if Obama was force to MAGA. But no, he answered to a different master than the one I worship.
Not me. First two sentences were supposed to be quoted from the parent AC, but I messed up in the code. Sentences 3 and 4 are mine.

Who cares. Bring back LAN play, and finally we can have LAN parties again.

A day of reckoning. We're all going to get our due. Meanwhile, I've got lots of popcorn ready, just need more butter.

Bath salts. Just avoid them.
He's not. Zuck is a hypocritical little shit. He's actually doing something Trump hasn't been able to - building his own wall
It does, right up to the point where it doesn't.

I dunno man, I'm sure someone out in the desert is just waiting to catch spacejunk to hawk on E-Bay :)
Props to anyone that catches the reference :)
