Can someone explain to me why in Section 4: Functions they compute Twice by multiplying the number by three then subtracting the number once? Is it just to showcase more math, or is there a detail I'm missing?

> /* Computes double of a number. Works by tripling the number, and then subtracting to get back to double. /

   static int Twice(int num) {

      int result = num * 3;

      result = result - num;

      return(result);**

Is SNRR different than PSRR?

You don't remember the "Palcahol" debacle?

If it's 240W, that's 48V @ 5A. The same current as today's cables (100W: 20V @ 5A). Most likely won't get to melt any cables :)

Have you seen Dave Jone's video on quantum computing?

What's ToS and IB?

Isn't the counter-point to this the stock price of PG&E? Look at its performance over the last 5 years, it's down to ~$11 from ~$50.

If the the whole market looked like this in the next year, people's 401k accounts would probably be demolished.

Is the hardware open-source?

Looks like NVLink is 25GT/s while PCIe 5.0 is 32GT/s (per pair of electrical "wires").

Anyone remember the Facebook phone?

Have a link? Searching "Arm RPG" brings up a lot of non-relevant stuff.

Relevant Chappelle's Show clip?

> In 2015, [...], so we immediately banned Kogan's app from our platform,

> Last week, [...] We immediately banned them from using any of our services.

Can someone explain how they banned them twice, or what the differences are between FB's "platform" and their "services" ??

"Due to the telecommunications landscape right now, it may not be possible to seamlessly maintain your primary number for all instances, for example it is not possible to forward messages with most carriers we have explored."

This pretty much kills it IMO. When someone is trying to reach you they have to message two numbers?

Please do not encourage more political discussion here.

Don't forget the 'Pittsburgh Left'!

It's one of the few tech sites left on the Internet where there doesn't seem to be an underlying narrative driven by politics.

I'm looking at you TheVerge/Recode/Reddit.

> I don't get what they're plan is.

"This launch is a giant step forward in our efforts to bring rich content to Reddit, following last year’s release of native image hosting and our introduction of native video ads earlier this year."

Which means having to watch a 30 second ad before a 15second video clip.

It's easy to be cheap when you subsidize each ride with VC money.

It's hard for any competitors to compete with Uber subsidizing each ride with VC money.

Which, from my experience, isn't the case anymore. It's people selling cheap Chinese charms on some string.
