I don't think you read my comment. I said that they're likely motivated by greed but there _exists_ a legitimate reason too. I didn't say that _is_ their reason, just that it exists.

While I agree it's likely motivated by greed, there is a legitimate reason too: GeForce cards simply aren't made to be run 24/7 in high density server environments. Put 200 of them in a rack and have them running inference or

How are they measuring top? I feel like there are really too many to judge. I for one am a fan of the ODROID C2 and HC1.

Considering that MPD, which is doing the actual music playing, is only 13MB ( https://www.musicpd.org/download/win32/0.20.13/ ), yeah, it seems crazy that this bundle is 160MB. Electron doesn't even have a

Those implementations both require phone numbers and registration through a mobile app (hence lack anonymity) and are useless for many use cases. I think Matrix (Riot) would be a better choice. It's e2e encrypted like Signal but doesn&

It's not so much paranoia as a very human inability to recognise how much risk a threat truly poses. Americans seem very very concerned with terrorism. Terrorism hasn't actually killed many Americans. The chance that you'll d

Also an Australian. I have a feeling this may not make much sense to Americans. Bulletproof clothing only protects you against bullets (well it protects against knives too but you can buy less expensive slash/stab resistant clothing).

I'm not sure if the title has been editorialized or changed. The current title is "The Other Tech Bubble".

Because they haven't done enough to piss off the RIAA/MPAA and get a billion dollar lawsuit yet. They're only abusing smaller creators who can't afford to do anything serious about it.

It depends a lot on what specific aspect of media you're in but this isn't necessarily true. In video there's a lot of Avid, Davinci Resolve and RED, in photography (particularly fashion and very high end) there's Captur

Neither. Both require tying your identity to a phone number. You're better off with Matrix/Riot or XMPP. Neither requires a phone number, both offer the ability to communicate securely, even with a compromised server. Both also su

What you're missing is that these prices will converge as the Futures market develops and more professional arbitragers get on board. When that happens the gap will shrink significantly and be far less profitable.

Can you elaborate? I certainly didn't see tent encampments or beggars like I've seen in every major US city I've visited so far but it's possible I missed something.

I'm Australian but I've been living in the SF Bay Area for 3 years. I don't see much outright hostile "blacks suck" racism, at least in the Bay Area, it's more people holding the wrong expectations/biases.
