There was some speculation back when the first Ryzen came out that Anandtech (among other reviewers) were pressured to not do the gaming benchmarks at all, or to do them last, since the gaming performance was so abysmal. I think they delaye

Is anyone else kind of skeeved out by this site and the elektrec.co? Sites that are 90% worship of corporation X really rub me the wrong way, even for the companies I am a fanboy of. I suppose there are similar sites like macrumors, but the

Some of us are old enough to remember the web and other services before they had ads. I remember quite well when the first started showing up, people called them "banners", and it was infuriating. I never accepted the change in th

I recently visited SF for the first time in like 10 years, I was surprised at how safe and clean everything appeared after reading these sorts of articles for years. I walked 40 miles over the course of a week doing touristy stuff and spent

I generally love this blog but complaining about how irresponsible your valets are is just the most tonedeaf privileged nonsense I've ever heard. I didn't own a car until I was in my 30s, I was ecstacic when I got that junker beca

I'm so tired of every corporation comparing themselves to others to justify everything. "Well GE hid losses for decades with fradulent accounting so we can too!" How about just stop exploiting a technically illiterate governm

It's the latter, 10% collapse in a 1 in 100 event. I used to do similar work in floodplain management. I don't even know what a 1 in 500 event is in earthquake terms, is it even possible to build something that withstands that lev

The fact of the matter is in a best case scenario, 10% of these buildings are going to collapse in a major earthquake. 10% of the newest, shiniest, up to code buildings. Best case, that's the engineering code, that's the spec. The

That a tech worker on a tech website knows some people at a major tech company? Guess what I know people that work at almost every tech company you've heard of, that's what happens when you get old. Try just going to eat at the Ph

So because IE6 was a trainwreck and you could dump dlls over port 80 you think Chrome needs anti virus? I don't think this is a "bubble" problem, rather a "statistical arrogance" problem. Google seems to have plenty

I know multiple people who work at Google that are quitting because of this. Lots of people have lines in the sand when it comes to violence and military work, but those lines are deep for a reason and they don't really want to talk ab

I've been wondering for a few years now what it would look like if one of these tech behemoths collapsed, mainly in the context of how intertwined and globalized they all are now. We're also not allowed to talk about how important

"And no, you can't get out of culpability by claiming statistical superiority" Every MBA student needs this tattoo'd on the back of their hand in order to graduate from now on.

When your yield moves from 6 to 8% and your debt is rated junk (seven levels below investment grade) yes it is free fall. The bond price/yield chart appears to be going parabolic in the past few days.

The possibility of financial collapse is very real, they start losing the ability to keep the lights on at that fancy plant in Nevada this year. They need to raise some serious money in a new equity offering, guess we'll see if the mar

Normally I'd think this comment is a bit too lowbrow for the orange site, but I think it's justified in light of just how fundamentally the world shifted due to the Brexit vote. If this breach was part of that then people should b

Welcome to how the internet used to be. It's amazing that people's memories are so short on this subject, if you have enough smart people pushing corporate experience X or Y then everyone assumes that's the only option. The f

The dollar number is a completely meaningless unit, it still boggles my mind that financial journalists report this like it matters. They should tell you what percentage of the company is being offered at what the total valuation would be a
