Does anyone believe there's another core duo type massive leap out there to even be had this time around though? AMD is going to slowly pull a bit ahead of intel, especially in bang for buck, but i don't see how they can catch back up.

As it is, last time intel jumped ahead it was by repackaging and souping up an a mobile arch that in and of itself was based on the old pentium 3 arch. They can't really mine the parts bin that way this time around either.

The comment you replied to had nothing to do with whether or not inequality exists, only that articles that unnecessarily bring up race, gender, etc. are pandering to the identity-politics crowd.

So this is kind of a complex question. Neither of us have hearing problems (I have tinnitus but it is more of an annoyance than an impedance) so we exclusively use them for the active noise cancellation (reducing world volume) and not for the world volume boost. The directional noise cancellation and microphone directivity works quite well for us but I cannot really speak to how well the world volume boost works since I don't have an easy way to measure its effectiveness.

My only criticism is that they use HSP during phone calls, then switch back to A2DP when music/audio resumes. This means that audio quality during phone calls is significantly worse than normal audio output, but this occurs with every bluetooth headset I have tried.
I think you can and should, make an effort to infer the desires of the non-conscious part of the brain, because it's essential to happiness. It's easy to say people shouldn't deny what they truly want, but I think it's even more important to realize you don't know what you and your subconscious want until you explore possibilities and consequences.

Because brains are jury-rigged by evolution and not a clean integrated design by an intelligent engineer, I think it's natural that there should be a lot of co-dependent modules and redundant cruft that leads to conflicts.
Google was solely responsible for YouTube's ultimate success and they deserve the credit accordingly. It was a dead company if they didn't buy it, they were rapidly bleeding to death financially and the legal picture was disastrous. It was viewed as a stupid mistake of a purchase in part because the argument was they would be a giant red ink pit forever. The sole reason YouTube survived the legal attack was due to Google's enormous resources and market position. Without that, the music cartel and Hollywood would have made sure to kill it or buy it (same difference).

The mobile picture is a lot less clear. Perhaps a dominant open source solution would have emerged. Samsung has shown itself to be mediocre at producing competitive origination platforms, so I'm highly skeptical they'd have produced the big leading platform. Apple's iOS would have never held the dominate market share, because they're universally the high profit small share player. China only came on in the last few years in terms of their ability to originate such a platform, and the rest of the planet is simply not going to adopt a Chinese platform as the 85% global market solution. The Europeans have been entirely absent post Nokia's implosion. So who else was going to fund the expensive creation of and shepherding of something like Android? Nobody. Google deserves vast credit for that accordingly as well.
Or at least selecting for the heavy user/expensive customer. I rarely go to the movies for reasons that have nothing to do with ticket prices. They’d love me as a customer but I’d never sign up.
Congress grilling a CEO makes it appear to their constituents that they're fighting on their behalf against a corrupt and otherwise unchecked corporate establishment - CEOs are easy targets and celebrities in their own right; just having "Jeff Bezos" in the headline draws readers, and attention to the lawmakers themselves. Congress grilling some random engineer, meanwhile, would make them look like abusive bureaucrats, if anyone cared, which no one would.

These hearings are rarely if ever about fact-finding as opposed to politics and optics, and being seen "taking action" on "relevant" issues.
>Ok for multi-tonal, but what is "symbolic" about Chinese?

I think they are referring to the Chinese writing system being very loosely coupled to the pronunciation (in contrast to languages like Spanish or Korean).
I agree completely. It would be amazing if everything wasn't so money-focused (though I understand why it has to be) and people could just pursue the job they wanted to do, such as doing study in the humanities if they found it interesting.
Would you mind sharing more about the content/format of your letter? Verizon has hiked my rates a few times (with no improvement in service, naturally), so I'm wondering what to write if it happens again. Does needlessly increasing rates violate some law/statute?
That is a claim the Warmbier's made, not Trump. That may sound like a meaningless assertion but don't you think it's a stretch to say that he exploited the situation for political gain because he did not correct their story(from a live interview I might add) esp. on Twitter?

Even using the word 'torture' at that time doesn't seem unreasonable or part of a conspiracy. What is the proper motive? To get people to label DPRK a terror sponsoring nation?

It seems like a very high expectation to place on a president to correct any false narrative being perpetuated or else be party to promoting them for political gain.
I suppose for the same reason people still create movies, despite the fact that they are easily copied and expensive to produce.

Every single time an article comes up about this someone says this, and every single time someone refutes this saying that 7nm is a lie. Intel 10nm is supposed to be more dense than TSMC 7nm (if they ever get there).

A lot of them are Marxists because they’ve studied it.

I’m not exactly Marxist but I’m more terrified by those who judge his works without having legitimately studied it critically and in depth under supervision.

He’s a lightning rig for prejudice and too many people equate Marx with Stalin, or believe him to have caused Stalin.
My complaint with English is how there is often no difference between a noun and a verb. Sometimes several words that could be either are stacked and it really trips up my parser. It's also common to see badly translated software where what should have been a verb is translated as a noun, or vice versa.
From Homeless to Startup Founder
I was homeless. Here is something I wrote in 2015 published in the Pavement Magazine (for homeless people) about my experience with soup runs http://www.thepavement.org.uk/stories.php?story=1872
Through sheer determination and positive attitude I got back on track in 2014. Following a depression, I have experienced months rough sleeping on the street, night buses and seven months at Heathrow airport with the police and night cleaners letting me stay by turning a blind eye.

I haven’t forgotten where I come from, so I want to make the world a better place by empowering people to lift themselves up with our “giving back” program.

I was trying to find a way to help underprivileged around the world with a crowdfunding platform. The cost was too much. So I thought let’s create a cool product that will also give me the opportunity to help others.

I like street wear and fashion accessories. From there I ended up creating a cap with a difference. A cap peppered with words for fighters!

For every cap purchased, we “invest” (we do not take any interest) £5 into micro-loans that help people in developing countries support themselves and their families by developing or expanding small businesses.

For every cap purchased £2 goes toward the purchase of take away pizzas that will be given to soup runs. Because everyone deserve a little treat.

Our baseball caps bear punchy messages about being ready to fight for your goals, dreams and passions.

Any feedback on my website much appreciated https://shilkool.com/
Also if anyone know about any lifestyle/fashion journalist or influencer interested please don't be shy
Those topics are intrinsically harder and more intractable. They deal with far more complex and chaotic systems. This is the fundamental issue.

Looking at it this way, it isn't surprising that humanity has a much less productive grasp of such subjects. The topics are of great interest, but it is difficult to make substantial, concrete progress.

This doesn't mean we should give up. It just means we should expect to struggle greatly as we seek to move forward in these areas.

Another important lesson is the value of the indirect approach. Progress and changes from other domains can have a massive impact in the long run, sometimes even dwarfing the majority of efforts from those who are working directly on the thing. I think we need to study these dynamics more.

I am on the same plan too though they raised my rate to $20. Such a small world - I didn't think anyone else in the world had this TW legacy plan. AT&T has been really evil to me so I will avoid them as much as I can - Spectrum by comparison has been 'reasonable'.
That's survivorshop bias. Yes, occasionally a fork takes over. It very rarely succeeds and usually only in cases where the original is so toxic that it cancels out its own network effects. node.js is a good example of that. And then even there note how they eventually unforked.
There may be only a handful that are well known, but that doesn't mean that there aren't more possible issuer numbers available. The first six digits make up the issuer identifier, so there are 10^6 possible issuers.

Sure, it's not ipv6 level address space (2^128), but ~10,000,000,000,000,000 possible card numbers seems like it should last many lifetimes, especially if you consider that card numbers could be recycled/reassigned, and if we ever approached the point where running out of numbers was within imagination, we would come up with a new scheme that allowed for a few new digits. My guess is the credit card itself as a concept will be long gone before the numbers are all used up.

What's there to explain? There's two parts of the brain involved in speech generation, damage one of them and you suddenly lose the ability to work with words. Depending on the extent of the damage, you will lose various comprehension abilities.

Like I stated earlier, I don't think all cognition is linguistic in nature, but I think you'll definitely lose 'something' if you break your language part.

My argument is that without language, we'll be present-focused and unable to appreciate conceptual subtleties, due to the inability to name and remix thoughts. Like other nonverbal mammals.
Sure, but "password protected website" is a weird synonym for "RAR file".

I think verbal vs. spatial or other kinds of thought play different roles with different people. I find converting a problem to words helps even if it's an abstract programming problem that's no more inherently verbal than packing your car. Other people might prefer visual or mathematical approaches. I find written input to be an extremely good method of converting information to thoughts, but spoken words are far less effective for me.
>A gym user attending a gym doesn't incur significant additional staffing costs. The work required to clean the gym may increase a bit but that'd be nowhere near the price of even the cheapest gym memberships.

But that's not the right way to gauge "cost per member-usage". If you get a lot more usages, you will have to pay noticeably more for staff, maintenance, replacement, etc.

For comparison, how would you gauge the actual cost of sending a letter in the mail? Naively, you would say "well, you can't detect the cost of sending it in labor or fuel costs, so it's zero".

But that would be wrong. The right way is to say "how much would it cost to send a million more letters? The cost of one letter should be treated as one millionth of that" because, in the large, your marginal costs will scale that way as letter transmission goes up and down.

So yeah, the gym is, for all relevant purposes, bearing a small cost each time you use the gym.[1] It's just that, for the vast majority of members, all those usages cost them much less than the membership fee.

You're right, it doesn't say that. But it says that sociology has 25.5%.

And, in my opinion, it's a shame it's happening at universities and not being built up in trade schools for various subjects. Likewise, though, I do agree that it's not a good thing.

It is interesting to see the divide. It really does go both ways between the two, though I think the issue lies more on the focus on focused-specialization over a well-roundedness. Obviously, you're going to have to be specialized for your job, but there's still room for a well-rounded individual. I think part of the problem goes back to secondary schools, and how many just push through them instead of actually learning to become well-rounded and find other things interesting.
When asking the difference between Shockwave and Flash, you'll often get the answer that they're two products that have nothing to do with each other. That is almost true, but not entirely true.

Director was originally meant for creating CD-ROM games. However, in the early 90's, it began finding a new home on the web. "Shockwave" was Macromedia's term which meant "compressed for the web." The first entry in the Shockwave line of products was Shockwave Director Player - so called because it could play Director Movies which had been compressed for the web. Because it was, at the time, the first and only product in the Shockwave line of products, Shockwave Director Player was often shortened to just "Shockwave."

Enter Flash. Again, Macromedia wanted Flash Movies to be able to be compressed so they could be downloaded quickly over the web - so they made the Shockwave Flash Player plugin, so called because it could play Flash Movies which had been compressed for the web. So there was Shockwave Director Player, to play compressed Director Movies, and Shockwave Flash Player, to play compressed Flash Movies.

The problem is, by this point, everyone already knew Shockwave Director Player as just "Shockwave." To those uninformed, it seemed that there was now both a Shockwave AND a Shockwave Flash. Shockwave Flash Player was more often referred to as just Flash, to avoid confusion with what was already being referred to as Shockwave.

So when we say Shockwave, we're referring to the first word in Shockwave Director Player, but when we say Flash, we're referring to the second word in Shockwave Flash Player...

Or at least, this was the case until Adobe acquired these names from Macromedia, at which point they just decided to rename the plugins to what they were being popularly referred to as. Now what was Shockwave Director Player is officially just called Shockwave, and what was Shockwave Flash Player is officially just called Flash. In order to further undo the confusion, SWF was changed to stand for Small Web Files instead of ShockWave Flash.
Amazon, let’s be honest - nobody reads documentation about how to set a knob to get a good result, not police, aclu, or most developers working for these. They’ll use 80% confidence happily and “sort out things later”.

So cut it out with your justifications about ovens and other nonsense and acknowledge that you are just a corporation releasing a product that tries to make a buck and/or not get left behind some other competitor of yours.
True, but Apple releasing a truly desktop-class ARM into a MacBook might finally kick Qualcomm and PC laptop manufacturers into gear to releasing something that doesn't suck (like when Apple released a 64-bit ARM CPU and Qualcomm first made fun of it then quickly released their own)

> I thought India [...] has the highest rates of engineering graduates.

Where did you see this? Weirdly enough it doesn't even seem to make the top 10 in the stats I can find, though they say "engineering/manufacturing/construction", and I'm not really sure we should be separating them for the purposes of the current discussion. (Though this is a bit weird considering how big India and China are? Not sure what's going on.)

[Edit: Seems they're not part of the World Economic Forum, and hence they lack data on India and China.]

But to address the question of what other such countries might be: the top 3 seem to be Russia, USA, Iran: https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-with-the-most-...
The consensus the last time there was a delay was that TSMC's 7nm process is roughly comparable to Intel's 10nm process.

They're still ahead, but only until Intel finally ships 10nm.

I'm not sure how much this affects the industry in general, but I bet there are some interesting Intel vs Arm discussions being fueled in Apple's product roadmap meetings.
I find words are my most effective path to concepts and connections. It might be related to how early you learn to read or innate brain wiring.

This owns. It's important to realize that a lot of at-risk populations that would most benefit from medication are often the most economically disadvantaged, and that our current healthcare system often excludes them from the help they need. Obviously, lab-grade medication is less risky than stuff that's been produced in a mason jar, but when the choice is between having access to life-saving medical equipment or not, the choice is pretty clear. If you have concerns with how this could hurt people, then the best solution would be to make sure that everyone has access to the care they need, rather then allocating care on the basis of how much they can afford.
Actually, it's still being updated, but only on Windows. Director (the authoring tool used to create Shockwave Movies) was discontinued, but Shockwave was not.
i think it depends upon the reader.

It's a damn shame that HTML5 implementations of Flash, like Shumway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shumway_(software)) and Swiffy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Swiffy) are no longer being actively developed. I would have thought running SWFs in the JS sandbox would be a good way to get the compatibility of Flash, without the insane security bugs that it comes with.

And in case anyone is still in doubt about Flash's security woes - take a gander at the Flash CVE page at https://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-53/p.... There were FIVE CVSS 10 bugs (total and complete remote code execution with minimal user interaction, i.e. visit a malicious page and your computer is owned) published just two months ago. The author of Flashpoint is absolutely correct in his assessment that Flash will be overrun with security bugs as soon as it hits EOL in 2020.
