TBH, I feel like there’s an oligarchy controlling both parties. I voted for Harris, but I think I just voted for the less bat-shit crazy side. The billionaires are still going to get richer, corporations will continue to consolidate, middle-class will keep dwindling, and common people will keep getting poorer and have less say.
Same, running a E5 2697 v4 (18C/36T) (Broadwell) that I bought used about 2 years ago. Also have a server running Ivy Bridge CPU.
I don’t game much, but this CPU is perfect for productivity type of work.
The malnourished, 1 ft shorter than their S. Korean counterpart troops?
The first step in not living in a shithole is to not build a house in a shithole, e.g. swampy Florida.
Unbounded risk-taking such as insuring people building houses in risky locations will lead to bankrupting the country.
If insurance is going to cover it, then there needs to be stipulations on the home owner to reduce the risk - for example, building the home out of steel and concrete, raising the structure high enough so that floods and storm surges cannot reach indoors, etc.
Putin is also one of the world’s richest man and funds Trump.
Yep! There’s a surplus of educated women, who are too educated / accomplished in their careers to want to marry uneducated rural men. And many of them also deferred marriage for their education and career and thus became a bit too old to bear children. All of this just exacerbates the male to female ratio problem in China, which is also a huge problem for China’s demographics.
China is going to shrink in population, Japan, Korea, Taiwan also have these problems.
I’m Chinese and I am also extremely weary of hiring someone from China. Pretty scared of CCP spies TBH.
Damn, Modi can redeem himself by just doing it again, but this time, stick a dagger in Putin’s back!
Maybe the title of this post or the article needs to be updated if solitary confinement itself wasn’t the real issue, but rather that it was a transgender woman being transferred from a women’s prison to a men’s prison?
China should just replicate Taiwan somewhere like they replicate Paris, Venice, etc. and call it a day.
The irony is that Taiwan once held that UN security-council seat. I do believe the people of China needs to be represented in the UN, but doing so at the cost of Taiwanese people’s representation completely defeats the purpose of having a UN in the first place.
That something else is: Taiwan is an important geographic location. A separate Taiwan prevents China from having full easy access to the Pacific Ocean. If China holds Taiwan, China will be able to project its naval powers much further into the Pacific and the US does not like it.
This has always been the case since the KMT fled to Taiwan, way before Taiwan became a high-tech chip producing country. Way before Taiwan democratized. (Remember, Chiang Kai-Shek himself was a authoritarian asshole that has killed many earlier migrants to Taiwan.)
It’s nice to have TSMC producing high-tech chips, but Samsung and Intel can also do so, perhaps only a process node (or half) behind TSMC, but Intel CPUs are no slouch compared to AMD’s despite being a node behind. And Samsung have been producing some of nVidia’s GPUs so they’re not out of the game. But TSMC does need to be recognized and I don’t really think it can be reproduced in the US. Taiwan has a very highly educated and underpaid engineering work force. I really don’t think you can reproduce the same results in the US at the same costs. Its going to cost 5-10X more to move to the US.
Its interesting to see your post to be so controversial. People who thinks all scientists are atheists either just don’t know any scientists or never been out in the real world. There’s really no difference between scientists and any regular population. I’m a engineer and in my group of about 40 engineers, many of us are Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and some Atheists. We don’t let religion interfere with our work, and there’s no conflicts with each other. We do a mix of R&D in our work, and we build software and hardware that gets used by millions of consumers daily.
A Pi4B 8GB is like $75. Add a power supply, case, heat sink, storage, and you’re at like $150.
Recently I purchased a used Dell USFF PC with a 4-core i5-4590S, 8 GB RAM for $50, shipped, from eBay. I mean it does use more power, but it is also more powerful than a RPi. I know, not an apples to apples comparison. But if you don’t need to do stuff with the GPIO, and your machine is just plugged in to the wall, and is just running apps in containers, then a USFF PC (e.g. STH’s project tiny mini micro machines) may be a much better option than a RPi.
I really don’t understand the RPi4’s price point right now. But glad the Pi Zero W exists, that makes so much more sense and at the right price point.
He’s a victim of his own purging culture. I’m sure he is afraid that when he is out of power, he will be purged, just like how he purged his competition.
Same with Xi of China.
Maybe a Ford Maverick or a Honda Ridgeline. The other trucks are just unreasonable. $80K for a Tundra, or $60K for a Tacoma? WTF!!!
