Generally speaking, AMD get ahead when Intel screw up. Which is what they've been doing for the last few years, getting lazy with only making minor tweaks to the same architecture.
Once Intel sharpen their pencils and get to work, AMD have a hard time keeping up when Intel's R&D budget is larger than AMD's revenue.
Then Intel screw up again and the cycle repeats.
Or Intel screws up and slows down to avoid killing AMD. When AMD is in trouble, Intel is in trouble - you don't want the nice cushy arrangement with patents and market leadership to be upset because your competition dies out do you?
AMD was in dire straits running out of money. They got a reprieve in the form of Sony and Microsoft, likely because Intel pawned them off to give AMD 10 years of guaranteed cash.
Intel's letting Ryzen/Epyc/Threadripper play out on purpose - let AMD build up its cash reserves to the point where folding is no longer likely to give them government regulators and competition bureaus off Intel's back. Let AMD get some more marketshare so they appear good competition, and then keep them where they are.
Killing AMD does no one any good - not us as users, not Intel (they'd lose those nice zero-dollar cross-patent licenses, and likely have to pay others like ARM for the same patents, plus who knows how many years of government oversight, maybe even forced to break up - you can have fab side, you can have the design side, but not both). AMD where they are is good for Intel. AMD looking good is also good for Intel - hopefully AMD puts all the money in the bank for the lean times.
You must be in La-la land. Business is business, in this quarter, Intel is bleeding. Intel is actually looking to expand outside of chips and hardware. When you can't compete, you flee to alternatives.
The reason Intel was eating AMD's lunch for over half a decade was that Intel was two generations ahead on processor fab technology, and as a result Intel had an absolutely huge advantage in power efficiency.
AMD made the difficult decision to skip one generation completely and they are now fabbing 14 nm chips; they have caught up to Intel. (Someday Intel will move to 10 nm and the race will continue.)
According to a table released by Intel the top i9 chips will be rated for 165 Watts TDP. AMD's chips are rated for 180 Watts TDP. A 15 Watt difference is not a big deal, and AMD chips are so much less expensive that you will save money even if electricity is expensive where you live.
The most wasteful AMD chips would be the 220 Watt Vishera-core chips... fabbed on 32 nm, ouch. Newegg still sells them but I'd sooner buy a Threadripper.
From what I read and what AMD presents, their 1700 series has a tdp of 65 watts. Intel's is twice that amount of wattage, and with less performance.
There is nothing "mad" about NK's behavior. The Kim dynasty has been extremely successful at staying in power. Even more than the Castro dynasty in Cuba, which started later and has yet to manage a generational transition.
Let's look at the track record for "giving up nukes", the supposedly "sensible" action: 1. Saddam Hussein gave up his nukes in 1991 Result: Overthrown by America and executed. 2. Muammar Gaddafi shutdown his nuke program in 2003 Result: Overthrown and murdered by forces backed by America. 3. Ukraine gave up their nukes after being given an American guarantee of their borders and sovereignty. Result: Invaded by Russia, while America did little.
Given America's track record of betrayal, NK would be nuts to give up their deterrent.
You speak almost the full truth. The USA does not have long term consistancy. It changes every four years. I would not trust the USA with maintaining the American Dollar. Trump is letting it slide, which is bad for imports, but good for exports. Oh! besides Tropical Orange Juice and some Tomatoes, what does the USA export?
Gnome changes in 3 were UNWANTED. Fedora lost almost 2/3 of it users with that and systemd.

Pulse Audio, SystemD, browsers with multi-task sandboxing, etc. and with truly constant functionality are going to remain.

Autism rates have been on the decline, and this decline started when vaccination rates began their decline.
1) Not a decline, more like a plateau. It's also very recent, and doesn't correspond with the rise of the anti-vax campaigns, which happened years earlier. 2) Autism rates did not increase when vaccinations were introduced; again, the rise in autism only happened later--in this case, decades later. 3) Correlation is not causation.
Not that you will read any of this. You've reached your conclusion, and evidence that doesn't fit it will be ignored.
My daughter teaches autistic grade-school children. They are for the main part, very smart, gifted in certain skills. As far as my daughter believes, autism is a genetic defect. Her biggest successes are taking a child that is deep into his ownself, and bringing him/her out of it, to a more normal life. She says, every child has a passion. Some for toys, some for sports, etc. She uses the child's passion to bring the child to be attentive. It works. Passion is their addiction drug.

Responding to him in any way does nothing other than feed the troll; the correct reaction was to ignore him and wait for him to be moderated "troll".
It's too late for that now, though. To deal with facts: the actual response is that autism rates are not declining: http://blogs.discovermagazine....
Here is the deal for my jurisdiction -- Québec Canada No vaccination, homeschooling. No vaccination--no public schooling access. No college or university access (which all are greatly funded by the government) and its likely your child won't have a playmate, unless the other is also home schooled.
Fuel cost alone is EV=0.03 cents per mile and ICE = 0.20 cents per mile. (YMMV) Also, EVs have low maintenance cost. Tires are about the only cost. Brakes last forever; no oil changes; drive train has a few thousand fewer parts to wear and break. The more you drive, the more you save.
Can I operate the car in -22C weather? I need something that does not lose driving distance as the weather gets down below freezing 0C or 32F.
I'm buying a new car, and just ran the numbers for a volt versus a normal gas engine. In my commute? I save an amazing $321 a year. That's less than $1 a day. in a car which is $3K MORE than the gas car, even after $9K in gov't/state bonuses. You wannna push electric vehicles? Lower the cost of Electricity.
The original Microsoft Basic was written almost entirely by him personally. He did large amounts of work on the original Office software. He wrote a fair bit of the original MacOS software (you did know that Microsoft wrote a lot of the original Mac software, right?). There's stories of him showing up to investor presentations in desperate need of a shower because he'd been up all night coding.
Now, if you're one of those idiots who says software "isn't engineering", as someone who started off as an EE and now does software, my opinion is your full of it. There's a hell of a lot of engineering that goes in to non-trivial software projects.
No...Blame the food. Whenever I go to those so called 3rd world countries, their fruits taste better, have an aroma and someone can tell that a neighbor is preparing beef or poultry from the perceived smell.
When one visits the fruit section of some of these so called healthy food stores, not an iota of smell/scent of fruit is perceived! Something is surely wrong here.
So do we blame Monsanto for the GMFruit? In my youth, a Tomato was bright red, and juicy. Now the ones we buy (packaged on the vine), are pink, dry and bland. Pretty soon there will be seedless tomatoes. I want seeds that I can put into my own backyard and grow the old juicy red tomatoes of yesteryear.
I'm an EE. This concept is interesting to me, but then I'm left wondering how they really tackle the problem of signal limits. It's not just that ADC that limits the signal. The amplifiers in the chain also do it. Maybe I should just read about it. The whole self-resetting ADC concept just strikes me as odd. I have a feeling it was invented to improve the dynamic range or sampling rate or reduce the power usage of ADCs, but not to magically sample arbitrarily large signals.
I grew up and built stereos, hi-fi's, tuners, etc, in the diode,triode,pentode era. As the gain increased (pentodes), so did the "white noise". The noise of electrons escaping the from the cathode and getting past the control grids. We had to purchase, at relatively high cost, selected triodes and power tubes, that were hand selected for their low levels of white noise.
Priebus said he supports Scaramucci "100 percent," according to news reports.

Sure, These companies are based in the US, but they are global companies.
They should not have to pay US taxes on the profits they received via a cellphone sold in Europe.
I would say that the taxes belong to the country in which the manufacturing took place. The USA company is just a sales agency. Even if the design was done in the USA, that is an engineering cost against the commissions on sales. So, the countries doing the manufacturing should wake up and look to obtain a more fair share.
They could use that money to improve infrastructure, education, healthcare...
That's a bold claim. What makes you assume George Bush's will hasn't resulted in at least one of his staff taking out a journalist before? In the US you have to be more subtle than Russia but plausible deniability is easy. You have policies against such and then set standards that are impossible to meet without violating those policies. You simultaneously cultivate the most despicable practices while having absolute deniability and cultivate the most discrete execution of those policies because you'll act on any violation you can't pretend not to have noticed. Putin can just order what he wants.
But then I'm not actually in Russia, I'm in the US, if nothing the corruption and bias in the media has become painstakingly obvious and overt since at least the Sanders Clinton primary showdown so it is unlikely the news we get with regard to Russia is accurate and what we "know" about Russia is likely largely propaganda.
I second your comments. CNN does hardly any reporting, they waste hour after hour repeating the same crap for each announcer. And the topic for 23 hours / day is always the same drivel. The other outlets (ABC, NBC, FOX, NPR etc are a little better). I now watch BBC news about the USA for balanced reporting and for good use of the English vocabulary.
Nobody else besides Trump (and Putin I guess) is suggesting that their government should make a joint "cybersecurity" unit between their gov't and Russia to help prevent future cyber-attacks on their elections.
It was, as usual, something that popped into Trumps head (or perhaps was suggested by Putin), and Trump was mentally unable to figure out, by himself, that it was a bad idea.
We've elected a stupid, ignorant man simply because he is "different" and was on tv.
Actually, from my perspective, Trump is right on this one. I have been told that Russia insists that all government software be open source (compilable from source to the executable), and that it can be inspected for cyber weaknesses. The USA lives on closed source, except for a few of us using Linux. Somehow I believe that Russia is more secure than are we, and that the cyber government hacking is probably for the same reasons.
Certainly, attacking terrorist encryption algorithms and related hacking would be of common interest.
For fucks sake, did you actually read my post *at all*?!
Yes, vaccines *work* in the same way - I didn't say they don't. What I did say is that in quite a few cases it can be easier to produce a vaccine for a child than for an adult - and it is, in quite a few cases you can't simply use the child vaccine in an adult, it simply won't work due to the immunological response the adult body will have. There is a reason why Chicken Pox is a *serious* illness in adulthood that can cause death but not really considered a fatal illness for children - because children's bodies work differently! Which is why the shingles vaccination has to be done very carefully for older patients (its a much higher concentration than children are given for chicken pox).
Vaccinating adults is entirely possible, but what can be effective for a child isn't necessarily so for an adult - and in any case, vaccinating in an underdeveloped immune system will always produce better long term results than vaccinating in a developed immune system. That is why we target kids - for both the immediate benefit and for the long term benefits.
My wife (a doctor) is currently laughing her head off at your post...
Take a look at how Tdap vaccine is given based on age - the adult vaccine is formulated differently with a lesser quantity of antigens than the child vaccine, because the vaccine in adults can trigger swelling of the arm its given in, while that doesn't occur in children. Other vaccines require significantly more active ingredient in the adult vaccine because of the immunological response - but increasing the concentration means the formulation of preservative etc has to also change...
There are many many ways in which the age contributes to the vaccine given. Doesn't mean the process of vaccination works differently, but it does mean that the same treatments may be ineffective in an adult, requiring a different vaccine to be developed.
Is it that simply, adults weigh more than children, that's why their dose is larger.
You are ignorant about the main causes of disease in 3rd world countries: poor food, filthy water, filthy living conditions, no sanitation. Vaccines don't help this. The money on vaccines would be better spent giving them clean water.
Clean water and not living in filth are certainly important components of healthy living, but are nowhere near the only components.
Remember the Measles outbreak at Disney Land? That occurred in the United States, which has some of the best sanitation and cleanest water on the planet. It occurred because of anti-vax parents who think that life-saving medication is a bad thing.
Our public school has a requirement for proof of vaccination. If your kid's not vaccinated for measles, whooping cought, polio, and hepatitis, they can't be admitted to school. Your choice--vaccinated against the list, or do home-study. I actually think it's the provincial school ministries that impose that rule.
Its definitely genetic. My father-in-law had 13 children. The second generation children for some of them are autistic. And its from the girl's side only.
So, we see it from one family, since it was more than just coincidence. How many others noted the same situation? Wives, more than spouses were the ones bringing that genetic difference to the newborns.
