Indeed but the question here is did the autonomous vehicle even drive as safely as a careful and considerate driver? It wouldn't surprise me if uber cars were not as well programmed as google cars, a reflection of the companies programming those vehicles.
Ray-tracing doesn't seem necessary, games have impressive looking lighting already, they've gotten good at faking it. I'm skeptical about real time ray-tracing being able to handle high polygon counts and be able to output at 4k.
Do you actually support Trump? A compulsive liar, a global warming denier who claimed to want to 'drain the swamp' and then puts the worst of the swamp in charge, a man who put Ajit Pai in charge of the FCC, a man that says 'grab them by the pussy'. A clear racist who's made obviously racist comments. A man who is trying to decimate the EPA. A man who fires anybody who says anything he doesn't like, a man who has been called a fucking moron by his own staff. etc etc. He's a dangerous idiot.
If admin's are too lazy to configure their servers correctly after it's been all over the news for weeks that their servers are being used to DDOS other servers then they really deserve to have those servers kicked off of the internet. 1 white hat hacker could stop all of them within an hour in this particular instance because they can all be stopped from ddos'ing with the 'flush command'.
I don't know about the US but in the UK you don't have to buy much gold before it gets registered with the gov probably for anti money laundering purposes.
The UK was trying to (checked - they did) criminalise glorifying terrorism, but to me that's exactly what the government and media do constantly. Want to be (im)famous? - the more people you kill the more glory you get, the media love terrorism, the government also love to ham it up to the max. Want to be even more famous - then kill people in some more novel way, add a twist, luckily for us all, terrorists have no imagination and tend to be pretty stupid.
Nah, somebody copied someone else's post and copyright infringement claim was lodged.
Seriously though, lumping in copyright infringement in at the same level as terrorist content and child abuse, WTF? Copyright is starting to be a dirty word and it sickens me to see how corporations have even managed to twist public opinion of it, I even saw a dictionary refer to copyright infringement as theft fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. It makes my blood boil.
In my anecdotal experience, older people who were encouraged to use PCs by their children but typically let them get dusty much prefer tablets and smart-phones and are much less technophobic about smaller gadgets.
I think they're still holding back, I got a call from a scammer who knew my full name and telephone and mentioned debt. It's just a hunch but they likely got my info from the Equifax data breach. (UK)
With respect you're talking complete rubbish, first off, you haven't been following AAA news because if you did you'd know that they spend as much as 2x as much on marketing as they do on actual game development. They're not introducing loot boxes because they need to, they're introducing them because of the massive profits they get from this gambling mechanism which is cheap to implement. And secondly Indie game companies have been releasing some great 3d games and also some AAA companies have still been releasing games without lootboxes, day-one dlcs, platinum editions and all of the rest of it.
You sound like an industry shill.

No, several companies have been kicked from Steam store, Digital Homicide, Silicon Echo and 'Matan Cohen's Studio' are some and there's more which I can't remember the names of. Indie developers get caught writing reviews for their own games regularly.
Financial companies (mostly) don't buy 10s of thousands of graphics cards and run them full throttle 24/7. What you're calling short term is long term for these crypto miners, There really is no comparison, apples and oranges.
But it does look like it can only be offset against vat charged to customers, so I guess these companies would simply have to buy from vat&sales tax-free regions like some areas in the US. They'd likely be paying sales tax based upon where the company making the hardware is based, they mostly won't be using middle men. Gamers Nexus was told by a GPU card manufacturer that the crypto-miners avoided slow shipping times by filling jumbo jets with gfx cards in order to reap early-bird profits.
People are already taxed on the profits they make from selling bitcoin...
Get real, they will be tax haven based.
Taxes are already levied on the hardware purchased for mining bitcoins,.
Not all locations have sales taxes, you don't think they bought their custom ASICs or GPUs in Iceland do you? Anyway I don't know how it works in the whole world but in the EU corporations don't pay sales taxes.
and the power consumed to operate the hardware
But will they be around for long enough for the generating capacity to be paid for?
There are MANY financial trading companies doing exactly the same thing, and have been doing so since long before bitcoin came into existence.
Financial companies tend to be in it for the long term and their server power usage is nothing like that of bitcoin miners.

Its not dark its just a crap camera, see news footage, the road is well lit.

Because they're not human, they drive as they are programmed to drive, they don't have a choice in the matter.
No, I'm saying the tech probably isn't there yet, I doubt they can do real time hi-res ray-tracing on consumer level hardware.

He's made over â2 million already, he's won, that's a nice retirement sum for anyone who's not majorly greedy.

Then they will have to apply for bankruptcy just like any other bankrupt firm that's too incompetent to run it's business properly.

I agree it is a symptom rather than a cause. I wouldn't say I have a gaming problem but I certainly do use them as a form of escapism.

Who do you think has pushed the price up so high? Who is now selling futures for cryptocoins? And the big banks even have their own crypto-currency.
Who is playing who here?

Ok I just made that up but it's actually a thing O_o

Shouldn't they be using WebGL compute ;-) GPU power for the Crypto-miner-hacker win.
Pretty much yes, it's slightly more complicated, some companies pay the tax and then claim it back.
