Lockdown/wfh related perhaps? I would definitely say I've become significantly more sedentary, likewise for many of my friends and coworkers, given we're all in tech.

I'm inclined to think a lot of people only live near cities because 1) they work in it and have no choice but to live nearby, otherwise suffer a nightmarish commute and 2) it's the only city near them. Why isn't building new,

Japan has been framed as weird and backwards since the 80s and 90s when the US took issue with their rising economy and encroachment on western industries

It's a better ballpark, but it's still an ideal number measured by the manufacturer using their own tests. Problem is, companies rarely if ever source the exact same design to multiple foundries, so it's not easy to compare i

I think this is it: https://www.newsweek.com/why-visa-mastercard-being-blamed-on... It seems the feminist angle was more of a general anti-porn thing observed by a lawyer in the field. NCOSE, an evangelical group, apparentl

It should be ahead of Intel 4 ("4nm"). Samsung 5nm density is approximately 127M gates/mmsq on paper. Samsung 4nm will scale to around 0.75x area according to their China conference earlier this year, to a transistor density

Iirc onlyfans was actually because Christian special interests and feminists pressured financial institutions to drop them. I'll try to find the article that discussed it

Japan also had to sign the Plaza Accord which inflated the yen against the dollar. Pretty sure china is continuing to do the opposite and shows no signs of stopping.

Everyone says that. But it's pretty clear that healthcare services themselves just cost an obscene amount of money no matter who's paying.

I think that's just a result of trying to be more inclusive towards a general audience.

It's impossible to make a case to right wingers because 2nd generation immigrants tend to be strictly left wing, and more progressive to boot. And imo, as a 2nd generation asian american, they tend to have a more overt racial identity

The lithography is just a step of the process. I'm just a layman but there's a lot of chemistry involved in just the processing of materials like coating and etching the wafers, particle bombardment, etc. Even the conditions and e

Public school was probably the most miserable part of my life, especially as one of the only asians in a black and white heavy school district. The few years my parents afforded private school to get me away from the violence was only a lit

There's a certain irony that the urbanists who advocate high density big city living are also the kind of people who escape at the first sign of trouble or rising cost, which they themselves contributed to, and run off to suburbs, smal

I think the problem people are getting is that "peer reviewed" has become a badge of expertise or authority in itself, inflating people's trust in it and weakening skepticism.

They didn't kill openCL. 2.0 was evidently unpopular with everyone. Not sure why you're trying to pin it on nvidia. And afaik Nvidia's only stated position on CUDA is that it's royalty free.

Nvidia never did that though.

Honestly, a lot of Americans don't even seem to be aware of massacres committed by former enemies like North Vietnam after they won the Vietnam War. It's not a surprise they're not aware of what a distant ally did outside of
