    Yeah, but if you're only staying for a year or so as an H1B, who gives a fuck, right? Think of all that money you'll save on living, then sock the rest away and send it back overseas when you return.

    Why invest at the personal level in H1Bs when their birth-rate (and graduation rate) out paces job growth in the STEM field? I tell you, loyalty is only a paycheck away. Actually, I'm rather shocked 'coffin homes' haven't been a big hit in the valley yet like they are in Japan and HK. That's a motherfucker money maker!!!! You want to talk about packing bodies in planes, nothing beats the revenue per square foot as a coffin home!

    When dealing with an adversary - NEVER project your own morality on them. It's not a given that their values are the same as yours! Proceed on what you know to be truthful, not what you want it to be.

    It's making good with the 2020 Clinton administration via providing an a peace "offering" in the form of Assange's head. That's right, this will NOT be a speedy trial; specifically because Democrats know Trump would pardon him prior to that time.

    My point is that the electric grid is already overloaded; specifically in California and the North East. The infrastructure upgrade project would be a massive undertaking not like the interstate highway project. It would be very costly too.

    I'm sorry, but I don't see ever happening. With baby boomers retiring, nationalized healthcare on the horizon, wars, unfunded liabilities, more frivolous pork spending.... Yeah, just don't see it happening.

    I suppose the only thing that would get congress off their ass to do something would be from the aftermath of an EMP or CME event. Maybe then there will be a grid "refresh" and the scope included to handle future EV.s

    Do you have any idea how many amps it take to charge an EV?! The gauge and amount of copper or alluminum would be astounding in the infrastructure needed to allow everyone to put a load on their EVs after rush-hour coming home. And we're not even addressing the typical brown-outs that occur in the summer time from everyone turning on their AC.

    There's no nice way of putting it, so I'll say it - you're a fucking moron if you actually think EV is the future. NO FUCKING WAY!

    Personal automotive EV transportation will never go mainstream. It's delusional to think so. If anything, renewable sources of energy (solar, wind, nuclear, hydroelectric) will go into the making of synthetic hydrocarbons. There's already the transport infrastructure (pipelines), and hydrocarbons offer the densest form of energy per volume. It's also quick to refill. With electric, you're looking into a complete overhaul of the grid in addition to a societal change of accepting long recharge times as the "new normal". And then there's the whole range aspect which is crucial for rural transport.

    Who needs a tariff when you control the exchange rate?

    You mean like China devaluing the Yuan like they're doing now?

    Well, it's causing banks in China to go on a run. And, their real-estate bubble is about to pop with massive over supply and artificial scarcity by limiting how many can be on the market. There's already been conflict in the news with prices being slashed shortly after previous buyers paid full price.

    In short, China is about to implode into a black hole. Question is, will the event-horizon ensnare the rest of the world?

    Good. Maybe then all those immigrants from South America will STAY in South America. Why pay for a wall when the same cost would be better spend on spending on products over there will employment and jobs will benefit them directly. Win/Win the way I see it.

  18. I truly believe that the next version of Windows for Home and Professional will be a Linux based platform that's only compatible with the App store and Office 365 apps too. For Win32 compatibility and hardware configuration flexibility, that will still be available but only in Windows Workstation (that's what gamers will use too). And of course, Server will still provide all that you need.

    I'm not upset, I'm stunned and frightened of your ignorance! Please tell me you're trolling. I'll freely admit you've got me if you admit it. If not, you have NO CLUE!!! Rural can live (and have lived) without cities. But cities can never existing without agriculture and industrial production --> which pretty much exclusively requires rural landmass. Any such actives done in the city would be limited and would not scale to meet the demand of a densely populated metropolitan area.

  21. ME is just that, Management Engine. It's not for gamer, it's for enterprise to manage the hardware over the network. Believe it or not, there's value in that. If there wasn't, it wouldn't have had continued development.

  22. Despite all the shit Intel has received (and rightfully so), I'm seeing this from a different angle: Intel has some amazing talent to squeeze so much out of 14nm, or they've been holding out on us keeping this in reserve for such an emergency. I'm torn.

    To ascribe a sense of meaning can only come about a sense of consciousness. What the mathematician was *really* asking was based on a dangerous career-ending supposition - 'when will machines harbor a soul'?. And that's even if he wasn't aware of it himself (ironies of ironies) . To attribute meaning is to have a sense of self-awareness as introspection that contrast to the environment around you.
