AMD has similar architectural issues to deal with. The epic EPYC PSP problem is still a mind-numbing issue. AMD has pretty much buried it under the rug, not that Intel's Meltdown/Sceptre efforts have been successful.
Qualcomm (or others) could turn RISC designs into something really useful, but there's a cart-and-horse problem that Oracle/Sun, IBM, Moto, Apple, and others know too well.
Phone and IoT/industrial IoT are still growth areas. Remember that the telcos are going to try to obsolete your entire kit with 5G replacements, more expensive phones with kitchen-sink add-ons and more-- soon.
Yeah, Qualcomm did some pretty stupid things. But AMD needs to keep looking over their shoulder. We all do.
For every new ad breakthrough, there will be a blocker.

You should join us, oh holy, revered maker of moolah. We shall sprinkle rose petals upon your path to the bus stop, and shall stop our awful flatulence so that your journey will be pleasant. May the heavens shine upon you. We are unworthy of your tax dollars. I'm so sorry to have disturbed you with my miniscule commentary. Be blessed, oh rich one! Be blessed!
1. Don't walk in the winter, or live nearby. Or move south. 2. Order online what you can't find. This is easy in most places. 3. Do stay inside if you want. That fresh air stuff is deadly. 4. If the sounds of nature don't enthuse you, do indeed stay inside. To me, they mean the environment's healthy. That's good for you in both direct and indirect ways.
IN all of the pedestrian zones I've seen across the continent in the EU and the US and Canada, trucks still get through. They have to. Even in Istanbul.
Commute? Take a train or bus. People in many parts of the world don't consider buses to be creepy. They're clean, run on time, are inexpensive, and are fairly well planned.
Pedestrian zones can be large or small. I wish there were more. Supply chain issues can be dealt with easily and readily. Visit some to understand how logistics work, and what the benefit is. Carry an umbrella. That's as bad as it gets.
This sort of plan could work very well in the US. I wouldn't mind parking on a perimeter and having a walk, even in -10F winters. I like to support local businesses because they're my neighbors, my community, and I don't have to deal with rotten online customer "support". The big boxes hold only price/selection as an advantage. I'd rather the profits go locally.
It's nice to sit in front of a family owned restaurant on a quiet day when the trucks aren't belching smoke, the coal-rollers are absent, the race-to-the-next-stoplight-on-my-crotch-rocket-children are gone, and there might be a songbird nearby, or a musician on the corner.
The politics aren't in question, rather, fealty to paying the Koch Brothers their gasoline/petrol/diesel due. I know it's contrary to The American Way to get exercise by walking from place to place, but it's certainly less expensive than alternatives, public or private.
Extroverts process externally, and because of this fact, are more visible doing whatever they do because: external processing is more visible and audible compared to introverts. This has the appearance of being more demonstrable, but is only emotive reaction visible to others because it's on display for all.
It's actions that count, and both do about the same actions in terms of sympathy and empathy, e.g. "caring". Some process inside. Others do not. They both care.
tl;dr: Extroverts can't help themselves be known, as introverts cannot help themselves be less known by listening. You can hear one more loudly than the other. Doesn't mean they don't both care, and equally.
To the point, however, more data isn't bad. It needs to be appropriately identified and indemnified. Didn't wear your watch? Uh oh. Lots of possible data points to miss.
These aren't EKG quality, and given their wearing position, are unlikely to be at that level. But they can detect a few things, and send alerts. Maybe they do blood sugar one day. Trauma. Propensity to become reactive to media currently being viewed for political analytic effect.
The boundaries are undefined, but I don't believe a preponderance of cardiologists wants to ignore valid data.
Likely true-- the mix is all important. It's easy to fudge one ingredient for a more expensive one, when no one's looking, or knows hot to evaluate the mix.... just like regular asphalt. Densities are all important.
You're concerned over 200lbs distributed over two tires. I'm talking 80,000 pounds distributed over 18 wheels, sometimes more and less.
I, too, don't want to see plastics in the oceans. Roads aren't paved in the oceans. It's true that particles are leached into aquifers. We don't have good data on how much, what kind, deterioration, and more. If you were looking to stanch plastic pollution, talk to your local grocer, and encourage products made from paper, or better still, re-usable packaging that requires little cleaning before re-use.
More effective plastic stanching is possible. It's because plastics compressed as described are so strong, that they'll last much longer as paving products, although all the data isn't in yet.
There are experimental paving stretches across the US. Some involve plastics, tires, stone mill grinds, and many more. Let's see what works best before condemning them. I want to stanch plastics pollution as much as possible. First things first, please.
You're talking about non-paved surfaces. This is about paved surfaces.
On paved surfaces, the data says that adding rubber/plastic recycled materials improves durability. Overweight trucks and plenty of them, will still erode them. High traffic volume, wide ambient environment, poor road beds, all will do their share to screw up paved surfaces. Bikes, by their nature, do not present the weight and lateral surface impact that heavy trucks present.
Worse still is the fact that Pogue made most of his loot by Missing Manual books that veritably fawned over All Things Apple.
Take his review with a big grain of salt. This is a fanboi, not a polished researcher, numerous tomes to his name aside.
Yes, Apple had great innovations, there's no denying that. Jobs won by doggedly cutting away all of the cruft that his own products had, and those of others, into a minimalist functional package that did the job. Then he built genuine customer support, where the telcos had no care at all about their clientele. The rest of Apple sins, we'll leave for another day.
I use a Samsung because I like reliability, and the ability for real heterogeneity, rather than single-vendor ecosystems. I owned a Palm, a Newton, and lots of Apple and hardware that was stuck in the Microsoft hegemony. Today, generic stuff with Linux suits me. I just want to get work done, not be stylin' and at the bleeding edge is. That's also where the bandaids are.
The problem is with this journalist, not all of them. There are quite a number of cogent tech journalists. Simply speaking, this fellow isn't really qualified in either tech, or finance, IMHO.
Journalists have outed the bad business practices of many tech companies, but as most corporations are highly focused on returns to their stockholders, they're only vaguely concerned with ethical methodologies and concerns that they believe aren't theirs: security, privacy, ethical management of data, and more.
Because regulations are so lax, and those in place so laxly enforced, it's up to journalists to cause public sway, and journalists DO cause public sway, that contains the myriad shenanigans of the tech malfeasant.
Don't condemn journalism by the actions of just one twit. This article draws vastly incorrect parallels between the financial crisis and the tech industry. YES, the tech industry has its own huge and costly problems. But there aren't the same parallels, or even congruencies between the financial meltdown and tech.
This said, tech security is its worst problem. That the spooks in gov have manipulated it into Spy vs Spy is even more onerous. Add in lack of controls on data sets, and indeed something will explode, but its' not going to bring down the economy, IMHO.
Shhhhhh. Marketing people and investors might hear you! Do you really wanna screw up months of stealth fixes (if they actually exist at all)?
Gosh darn it, it's people like you that make coders, operating system kernel fixers, and other expensive personnel work overtime-- not to mention people that must fix firmware, patch millions upon millions of hosts, and all for what? So you can have a secure system? What the hell is wrong with you?
So is your nose. You can expect that if you don't clean an object, it'll get dirty, and fun things will grow on them. Most of those fun things you had introduced via your lips. Most of those fun things won't hurt you as they're re-introduced into your biome.
If you're a habitual straw user (and many are), you can re-use the same straw many times without cleaning it and surprise, it won't hurt you! At some point, you're welcome to clean it.
The same can be said for most reusable cups, too. Obtain the size and quality you need, and just say no to a fresh disposable cup each and every time you go through a take-away establishment. Clean regularly. Reducing packaging costs is also wonderful for the environment, although it cuts into packaging corporate profits.
Look to places like Indianapolis, that had a thriving trolley system that was systematically destroyed BY GM. Feel free to look it up.
The mythos surrounding public funding problems for mass transportation are many. Yet every major city in North America thrives on mass transit, even those built in the "auto era". My favorite examples are Toronto and Chicago, but there are many more. Equally cities with enormous problems can often be identified through decaying urban areas, and enormous white flight to their suburbs (St Louis).
There's lots of history to correlate through the urban evolution. Autos were often an enabler, easily financed, and changed the US & Canada to the sprawl that cripples it today.
Suburbia is quite compatible with public transportation. Population can be quite diffuse, geographically, and have great interurban, intercity, interstate, and hub/spoke mass transportation.
The real problems are acquisition, capex, opex, but also: convenience and social attitudes about mass transportation. Once there are electric "jets" and cruiselines, I'll be a lot happier, too.
Harvard is known to fawn over successful greed, and objectifying businesses, rather than looking deeply into the trails of dead bodies.
Google completed only a small tiny fraction of its goal. It made telcos and ISPs stronger, in terms of monopolistic outcomes. Google is not your friend, unless you're a Google stockholder.
GM paid to have trolley car tracks ripped out. Some cities were built with viable ways to expand mass transportation, and if they didn't they now face excruciating costs in buying easements, right of way, with a cost per mile that's gruesome.
Trains and trolleys used to link the US in astounding ways. The airlines wanted a taste of that. So did the auto industry. Train tracks became urban trails. Who's going to vote to rip up urban trails?
Then it became a class and race crisis, where people didn't want to have to ride with the poor, the unwashed masses, and heaven forbid, white people traveling with black people and Latinos. The rich white folk could all afford cars and the fuel, taxes, and insurance. The banks and auto makers made lots of dough financing driving by yourself. So did the oil companies. Public transportation in many areas suffered, just as the poor suffer today-- no one wants to subsidize those the needs poor people or pay the a living wage.
I take public transport wherever/whenever I can because it's cheaper and I don't have to drive. I can do my phone surfing, or just relax. Someone else is driving and they're usually good. I can't see a good reason to fly on the NE corridor at all. Between regional rail and Uber/Lyft, it doesn't make sense.
Summary: it's a class/race/economics/social-shunning problem, not to mention the financing underneath is controlled by people that never use it.
Great idea.... but the pace of stock trades makes it impossible to track. The nature of a corporation is as a tracking body of pooled shareholder interests, and ultimately, the corporation has to be taxed as its constituent stockholders through a year are in the trillions as an aggregate. Nice theory, but IMHO, impractical.
A universal VAT might be interesting, but it has the same problem, which is enforcement and reciprocity.The squabbles would be endless.
Paying taxes in other countries is a fine idea, so long as profits are repatriated. Trillions are currently held offshore, piling up, being used for chess pieces. US resources are being used to sustain those profits, and those profits should be taxed by US authorities. I concede that this isn't being done currently.... which is because our legislators can be bribed by campaign contributions.
A universal tax rate only works if one can control the universe, which isn't really possible. See Caymans, Panama, St Kitts & Nevis, Luxembourg, Lichtenstein, Nuie, ad infinitum, for further tax reduction needs.
Do you currently receive any of the following benefits: SNAP, Section 8 Housing Assistance, Medicare......
If so, please deposit application in the recycling box on your way out.
I truly like the idea of raising the minimums, don't get me wrong. However, this will make a pariah out of those that need a job/gig the worst. It's my belief that another method needs to be devised to tax corporations at a higher rate, with fewer exemptions and international income exclusions-- and tax them the way out of the country when they move their assets to the Caymans, Panama, etc.
