What's really amusing about the B&N/Amazon thing is that as B&N falters against Amazon(I will point out that TradPub is as big of a problem for B&N here as anything they're actually doing wrong) the tiny bookstores that B&N pushed out of the market are starting to come back. They won't thrive nearly as well as they used to of course, but they'll at least exist.
What's hilarious is that as more societies go cashless it will make the more stable cash societies worth more since they will fuel the cashless societies.
Ahhh, proof positive that a lie circles round the world before the truth has its boots on. Meals on Wheels is state funded with a few states funding a portion(not the majority) of the program with monies from the CDBGs.
Less wage slaves and more slaves to our own desires. If you were to live a life like a family from the 1950's your expenditures would be much less as well. But everybody needs that second car. They need to eat fast food rather than cook. They need to pay for that cable and internet. They need central heating and air.
Bingo. The education establishment alongside the Department of Education in this country since at least the 80's has pushed college as the be all panacea with those unable to make it into college as some sort of fuck up. Trade schools have been consistently sneered at.
Incidentally, even assuming that the two Kaby Lakes are better, they're almost certainly not better enough over the 2699 to make up the performance deficit given the Kaby Lake chips' price difference to the 2699.
Erm, I'm pretty sure the 2699 is the top of the line for their Xeon DPs. At worst it is the 3rd best from what I can tell, and no one has benchmarks that I can find of the two newer processors that might replace it, the E7-8890 and E7-8894. As they were probably able to borrow or rent the 2699's from someone and they weren't going to blow 20,000+ to purchase equipment for a single benchmark, it's unsurprising they didn't go for the two newer chips.
Not true, a gap of about 5% exists, at least in the US. However that has to do with the fact that men are more aggressive on average and thus better at wage negotiation.
We have 1.3-1.8X knife homicides than the UK has total homicides. During the 10 years post Port Arthur, US homicides fell by 5-10 percent farther than Aus homicide rates depending on exact dates used.
Remove suicide and illegal ownership by violent felons and gangbangers from those numbers and the statistic is pure bunkem. At worst there is less than a 3% increase in suicides due to gun ownership and even that is heavily disputed.
Erm, no. Outside of gaming, Ryzen kicks Intel up and down the block outside of 2 or 3 real world applications. With gaming, once the BIOS, opcode, and MS drivers have had time to shake down and be updated it will trump everything but the 7700k. Which will probably be beaten by one of the Ry5 or Ry3 chips when they are released..
Intel appears to edge out in single core performance, but by less than 5-10% depending on processor and we still haven't seen single core performance of Ryzen 5 or 3. Ryzen multi-core performance spanks Intel like a red-headed stepchild. Moreover, this is the first iteration of Ryzen, so performance gains probably have farther to go for things like IPC than Intel's current processors. Basically, unless you're planning on waiting for Coffee lake and believe there will be a greater improvement than another 3% IPC gain, Ryzen is as good or better than Intel's offerings especially with the lower TDP.
Which sucks cause Training Day, his new show, actually had a lot of potential. Wonder if they'll pivot it in the second season to concentrate on the interplay between Law and Cornwell or just cancel it.

Training Day was actually shaping up to be pretty decent, if formulaic. Then Paxton died.

If they wanted to minimize distortion they would go with one of the "orange peel" projections.

Actual scholarships can't be more than 10, probably less than 5 percent of that total. Grants are part of the guaranteed flow problem.

Which leaves the CIA and DIA for American three letter agencies and everyone else's external intelligence agencies..
If your microwave's magnetron has access to the outside world you have more serious problems than it spying on you.
Not merely power suits. Power suits that launch out miniature nuclear weapons like grandma handing out cookies at Christmas.
More importantly, why would they blow 20,000+ for a single benchmark?

How do they sell wine or anything handmade in Oz?

He retools in 10 years when these batteries actually come to market.
NiMH batteries do not make viable electric cars. They make useless toys. Well, unless the guys at BASF can pull their 700 Wh/Kg out of their ass.
One of them being Scott Adams. Welp, all the people claiming he was paranoid sure are looking like morons.
For the overwrought Brianna Wu, Heinlein novels go in the horror category.
