You think that's bad, visit Washington DC. We have thousands of scooters and dockless bikeshare bikes littering the sidewalks. The companies literally dump their scooters and bikes outside the Metro entrances.
Riders just dump the scooters and bikes wherever they are done with them. It doesn't matter if it's in the middle of the sidewalk or the street or even on the grounds of a national monuments.
DC Council still thinks dockless scooters and bikes are the greatest thing since the "Taxation Without Representation" license plate.
You can't do business in China without sharing your IP with the government. Everything is fair game for them. Their supercomputers are based on MIPS technology with questionable intellectual property licensing. Now they're moving to "license" AMD x86-64 technology.
Not really a non-story. I have adjusted the settings multiple times. I still get nagging emails from time to time telling me about someone's profile picture change or new photo posted. They are always links to posts that are already 3 to 5 days old.
Wow. Completely missed my point. I'm talking about broadcasting from mobile phone towers to devices in cars. This has nothing to do with BlueTooth or MP3 players.
Consider re-reading the post again. I won't be responding any more to this kind of trolling.

Hahah, wow, you completely missed my point. I cannot understand where you got this interpretation.
I am specifically talking about the wireless data connection to mobile devices from the mobile phone towers.
What I'm talking about has absolutely nothing to do with MP3 players, FM transmitters, BlueTooth. I am talking about wireless data networks from mobile providers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint.
Verizon has given up on FiOS. There is a reason that there are no new builds except infills and government-mandated projects like Washington DC and New York City. There is a reason Frontier owns a huge former Verizon FiOS plants in 15+ states now and why Frontier's stock value has been flat since then.
They originally planned to earn profits after a decade or two but the time horizon is so far out past two decades they fire-sold to Frontier and sued to be allowed to halt builds in DC and NYC.
The way I've understood this policy is that they use the term "unlimited" to mean that you have an unlimited data allowance but you are throttled when you pass a threshold. This is exactly what AT&T does. Verizon is letting you pay more for a higher threshold.
Consumers have to face it. There will always be a limited amount of bandwidth available. For example, you can't have each of the cars on a busy highway get individualized, personal audio streams simultaneously.
I came here to mention this. The article is wrong, though the i740 came about when Intel licensed the technology from the Real3D division of Lockheed Martin. Intel later purchased the intellectual property after Real3D was closed.
I am shocked that these firms don't yet offer to bill by CPU usage. I come from the end of the age when CPU cycles were charged per contract and were planned using budgets. It wasn't for rationing but to help pay for the resources.
We can only imagine how many fewer datacenters we'd have if these pure RISC implementations with superior multiprocessing capability were used instead of x86-64 emulating crusty old instruction sets.
In the US, no transportation mode earns enough in fares to pay for its costs. Interstate highways are free or tolled . Airlines use airports owned by the federal government and unprofitable routes are subsidized by the government, too.
One helpful treatment on this subject is The Economics of Public Issues (16th Edition) by Miller, Benjamin, North.
We have cooperatives that already do this and already serve vast areas in West Virginia.
It's not access that's the problem. It's the cost. There are two satellite internet companies and one of them can be resold through cooperatives. DSL can be universally available now that we have g.Fast and ADSL loop extenders at very low cost, again through cooperatives.
Even more seriously, though, Amtrak station agents need to remain.
How about proposing a bill making Amtrak serve all states, too? Amtrak Thruway Motorcoach service doesn't count. Nobody wants to ride a bus for any long distance.
The new generation Nissan Leaf drives itself. My local dealers are selling the top trim for under $30K. That comes to $22.5K with the tax benefit.
It also now has a more powerful battery pack and 30-minute fast charging and, thankfully, electric vehicle warning sounds, the lack of which has been a pet peeve of mine with electric cars.
First, on the IRT, now called the "A" Division of the NYC Subway, the feeders are 11,000 at 60 Hz which is converted to 120 volts AC and also to 600 volts DC. The lights in stations are 120 volts. The lights in the tunnels run on 600 volts DC. Near ticket booths, stairways, and other critical areas, there are lamps lit from the 600 volt DC track circuit.
All of the Northeast Corridor south of New York Penn Station is 25 Hz. So is SEPTA, but the former Reading Railroad side of SEPTA which has its own converter. There is an ongoing project to unify both formerly separate SEPTA systems because they're slightly physically incompatible.
Most of the NEC is now powered by static frequency converters and there is a declining number of motor-generators still in use. A large part of the southern portion uses power generated by a 25 Hz water turbine at Safe Harbor Dam.

Nope, Tampermonkey et.al are supersets of the functionality provided by Stylish.
Most of us have been using AC pigtails for decades.
I have been using 2-pin and 3-pin pigtails to avoid this very problem for over twenty years.
To defeat the "Plugspreaders," carry a multi-socket pigtail and plug the Plugspreader's offending adapter into it.
Stylish still exists? We moved on years ago to Tampermonkey.

The feature has been added to all Intel CPUs released since 2002 and has come enabled by default.
My Intel Pentium Anniversary Edition CPUs and Intel Atom CPUs are proof that this carelessly researched statement is simply dead wrong.

I don't get why people don't understand what I wrote.
At least people here are better than Reddit.

And, remember, MacOS itself kept graphics from ever running even close to the performance of the same exact hardware on Linux or Windows.
For YEARS.
"Suddenly"
"individuals have died, or at least their oldest parts/stems have collapsed and died, over the past 12 years"
Pick one. It can't be both.
No, the i740 had its own, dedicated VRAM. Therefore, this is not Intel's first discrete graphics chipset.
You don't build fighter jet systems or railway control systems in Agile.
Software quality is not a crime.

Azure is competing in this space along with AWS.

IBM POWER and PowerPC get short shrift.
