Damn, now I'll have to expand the RAM and get an HDD for my Smart Doorbell. Frankly, I think it will look a bit goofy with that stuff hanging off the doorbell, but if that's what it takes to run MS, then sign me up!
Social credit? Hmmm....in the future, the major credit score mafia will keep social credit scores as well as money credit scores. There'll be several categories: Mindless Single Source Buying, Obsequious Flattery, Abnormal Social Attitudes, and Inappropriate Suggestions Towards the Emotionally Unstable. Entry to restaurants will be accepted as long as certain Social Credit minimum levels are met. Scores can be locked but you may experience decreased functioning or access to social gathering places. Social credit will also be stolen and misappropriated for impersonation.
In Maryland, the property values are computed every year, but the taxes only go up every three years (I think it is three). I actually saw the value go down after the Great Recession when the Bush administration decided to not regulate the banks, or Wall Street, or just about anything that could screw us.
...we send Richard Branson to space on his magical rocket. "Let us know how it goes Richard, take your time, take a few trips, show us it's safe and then we'll think about it. Write soon!"
Just remember Trump destroys everything he touches. And the U.S. is has gained nothing except the animosity of its allies and the contempt of its enemies. Most countries know what Trump is. Any "nice" things they come out with are mere to pump his ego, they will agree to nothing substantially good for the U.S.
China's been willing to talk all along. The Trump Administration couldn't find anything like a coherent policy position from themselves. And anything they have floated amounted to telling China to stop advancing to a super-power, which went over very well with the Chinese, as you can expect.
So with RISC-V, I need to create all the other stuff that goes into an ARM SoC. I presume that grows on trees? For one thing, you'd have to get the parties pushing RISC-V to settle on I/O standards between all those other widgets on an SoC, as well as the widgets themselves. So keep dreaming of pink unicorns, they're out there somewhere.
Ditto. If anyone wants to see part of the difference, contrast ASIC designs with FPGA designs. You have to do a lot more work for ASIC and you need chip design experience. There is also a lot that goes into any SoC that isn't part of the ISA. RISC-V is just the ISA, that's it.
Because Obama fell for the Arab Spring and, after it was sprung and turned out to be no match for the dictators, decided that cowardice was the better part of valor and agreed to support the Saudis who see an Iranian behind every grain of sand.
Yemen has been in turmoil ever since I can recall, to support one side over the other was dumb. Trump is supporting the Saudis for different reasons though. He receives money to his shell companies from them. Trump's motivations start and stop with his loot and his press, he doesn't have any thoughts beyond that. To attribute Trump's support for the Saudis to fighting al Qaeda is ridiculous. He has the U.S. military for that. If the Saudis win one against al Qaeda, he gets nothing. If the U.S. military wins one, he'll be demanding a parade of mythic proportions to celebrate HIS win.
More revisionist history, Saddam long figured he could use Kuwait to pay off his debts for the Iraq-Iran war, which he started. Ignoring a 6 months build up was monumentally stupid seeing as the U.S. had all those lovely bombs left over from the cold war in Europe and wouldn't mind unloading them quickly as opposed to the expensive process of deactivating them.
Ah yes, the Deep State. Known to be behind all nefarious designs, and have super-earthly powers to do anything they please, even repeal global warming and the laws of gravity. Then, get this, they offed Bush Sr. to cover their tracks. Yes, yes, it all makes sense now.
Bush Jr. invaded Iraq, Bush Sr. invaded Kuwait. He made two big mistakes. Telling the Iraqi Shi'ites to rebel against Saddam and then didn't back them...they never forgave the U.S. for that. The other mistake was giving Kuwait back to the fat boys in the robes. What should have happened to give Kuwait to the Palestinians. It would have removed the biggest threat to Israel, paid the Kuwaitis back for being such fuck ups, and given the Iranians and Saudis their own private Palestinian problem. It have been an easy sell to the PLO, Arafat was always a sleaze and it comes with its own oil supply.
Chair: This Bloomberg report, what do we make of it?
Board Member #1: Nada, complete bullshit.
Chair: Will it affect our sales?
BM #2: Nope, no one who buys our stuff gives a flying rat's ass about Bloomberg. Besides, Bloomberg sounds like a voice in the wilderness among all the rest of the news noise.
Chair: So not worth spending our expensive legal counsel on?
BM #3: Not unless you want piss off a lot of money advertising Bloomberg's claim and inflating it out of proportion.
"Our military industry complex has a track record on it: claims of WMD in Iraq leading to the trillion-dollar Iraq War that's still not quite ended."
No up with news, eh? The intelligence agencies were not claiming WMD. That was the neo-cons in the Bush Administration. The military-industrial complex is spending most of their effort on commercial technologies and have been for years. In fact, it has reached the point where the Pentagon is worried they won't have American suppliers for critical systems. Jesus, go back the 60's, you'd fit right in.
Hmmm...I've contacted all those same people and organizations Bloomberg did. They all deny categorically they had anything to report on gene editing to produce pink unicorns. They all have an incentive to lie because it would look badly on their companies.
Conspiracy!!! And I'd have expected the government to deny it also, what with the price of pink unicorns these days.
That's a fool's errand. The only way to put the American working class back in manufacturing is to raise the cost of everything in the U.S. drastically. That would cause an inflation. Interest rates would rise, government deficits would rise even faster than the King of Debt, el Presidentie Tweet ever hoped for in his wildest dreams.
Manufacturing in the U.S. is roughly north of $2 trillion a year. 2nd to China out of a roughly $19 Trillion economy. China's manufacturing is roughly $6 Trillion. Theirs is about 42.6 % of their GDP, the U.S. is roughly 10 % of GDP.
So the U.S. has lost manufacturing, I suppose you could argue it went to China. But the SE Asian countries are attempting to do to China what some argue China has done to the U.S. That's one of the reasons China is swaggering around the S. China Sea claiming to have the Biggest Dick. The U.S. seems to be mired into "don't call us, we'll call you" brand of Republican Isolationism...yes, it didn't die even with WWII (if it were up to them, the U.S. would never have fought). The U.S. is retreating without putting up a fight. Trump's pinpricks are useless and probably self-defeating.

Relax, MS will only screw it up so it really won't be nix.

Yes, you can debunk a theory based on testability. It happens all the time in physics. It has happened several times due to the results from Cern.

So you are saying he's bucking for a position in the alleged Administration?
Pence is a carbon copy of Quayle with better media handlers...although I tend to think Pence is more of an evangelical nutjob than Quayle.

Check the deficit figures, it ain't the military busting the budget. It is the blue hairs and I-have-to-get-mine mentality.
