Re:Poor in Tech on Wednesday May 19, 2021 @11:03AM (#27209665)
Intelligence is not completely due to genetics as you are suggesting and has to do more with socio-economic conditions. Read “guns germs and steel” for why human development through the ages has a lot do with just being at the right place at the right time.
Re:My Experience at Apple on Saturday January 02, 2021 @01:55AM (#25610970)
I disagree, such an approach completely desensitizes the human aspect of work and treats the people working as commodities that are expendable. Engineering is hard, teams might need to go through multiple iterations/generations to get the desired results. A better investment would be to develop the right engineering culture rather than Team A vs Team B duking it out.
Please don't waste people's time with comments like this.

CSGO is CPU bound, I'd suspect maybe it has something to do with the CPU rather than the GPU.
Re:Why is Apple's M1 chip so fast? on Monday November 30, 2020 @03:01PM (#25258219)
Also being on TSMC5 on top of significant micro architecture improvements ; ~630 instruction deep ROB, ability to queue ~150 outstanding load instruction and ~100 outstanding stores and huge TLBs which reduces swapping the anandtech article does a great job going into explaining this.

You or I might have to privilege to choose our next jobs but for some people especially those in the services industry don’t have that and end up having to work doordash/instacart. Don’t attack the messenger when it’s probably easier for most people to stop using doordash.

What’s the RAM on the phone I tried looking at the tech specs page but I can’t seem to find it. Is it still 2GB?

The assasination was the first trigger to the war. Is that incorrect? From my understanding after the assasination Austria-Hungary gave an ultimatum to Serbia and later declared war on Serbia.

I laughed way too hard at this.
That’s what I did, bought a dumb Samsung TV in 2016 off new egg.
Loads fine on mobile.
Re:Huawei Manages to Make Smartphones Without American Chips on Sunday December 01, 2019 @07:04PM (#21678723)
I’ve no dog in this race but I feel the selective outrage to Huawei and other chines tech companies hypocritical while America consumes more and more goods produced in China without batting an eye.
Re: Jimmy Wales has quietly launched a Facebook rival on Saturday November 16, 2019 @01:22AM (#21551315)
This exact reason has helped me stop frivolous purchases as soon as I discontinued my prime membership.

I hate paying for shipping and most of the time the items in my cart are < $25 at which point I ask myself if I really need this item. If I really need it, I go to the target/Wal-Mart near my place since they always price match. Not renewing my prime membership has been by very liberating!

Whoa! Thanks for that tip, that’s an incredibly useful tip.

The Govt of KZ in this case can monitor all internet traffic over HTTPS.

Thank you for this, I could not find the follow up to the first article on the IBM webpage.
Re:Vim tricks on Sunday June 02, 2019 @04:49PM (#20078070)
I’ve discovered q: when trying to quit vim in a hurry. You always keep finding new quirky things to do in vim but I guess the same hold true for other text editors like Emacs
Re:Amazon shareholders reject facial recognition ban on Thursday May 23, 2019 @12:36AM (#19988517)
That’s the other thing that doesn’t get mentioned more in these discussion. Governments can be bad actors and suppress citizens like how China is doing right now, no guarantee your own country won’t use it to suppress citizens who they don’t agree with.
Login with Facebook, yeah that’s gonna be a no for me.
Re:Why Does My Remote Control Need to Know My Location? on Thursday February 21, 2019 @01:05PM (#19218992)
I have been on the fence of buying a Sonos because I've always loved the sound quality but I could never bring myself to spend so much on them, your comment along with comments in this thread have made my decision easier. I'm going to stick with my dumb speakers and avoid all the hassle that comes with "smart" devices.

Guess the OP files taxes as married filing jointly. That could cause a dip in the effective tax rate.
