It's not really solving the problem though, is it? The bad neighborhoods and bad schools are still there. And the idea that if you can't equalize it to rich neighborhods (when they can and will never be equal anyway even with this

We are most certainly not in agreement. You implied that one had to live in fear of covid in order to make rational choices about it. I mean it's okay that you were, you don't have to do the macho act to save face or anything. It&

Not living in terror and despair of things that are largely outside my control = extremist? Maybe it is you who is the extremist. Living in fear, anger, a strange frothing hatred for people who are different. If anybody would appreciate why

Fear has nothing to do with it, you can make a rational assessment of risks and reasonable decisions to mitigate them without living in terror. I sometimes drive my automobile for non-essential reasons too despite that being one of my large

That is not why we would need such a thing. It's not necessary or sufficient to prevent terrified people living in perpetual fear of things politicians and experts tell them to be afraid of. Rational and level headed efforts to tackle

Such a weird concept, I could never understand it. Why not spend effort making their local neighborhoods and schools better? Everybody grew up with richer and "better" schools and areas, I would have hated being sent out to those.

Sad to go through your life living in fear though, for covid or climate change.

First 64-bit CPU, second CPU of course after 386. Which I guess you mean.

Yep. If they believe these platforms are cost-effective ways to advertise, then actually choosing not to use them for public funded advertising would be an abuse of public funds, unless they can explain how it is different, which I'm

Going by volumes of commits and posts on most mailing list, it has been in a long slow decline since probably early-mid 00's. I'll leave others to speculate on the reasons, but it is a pity. I'm a Linux user and developer and

What do you think about spending $1k on a phone? My question is why it's $1000 and not $999.

Yes, and the question I am asking is how much better are they doing than competition there. For compute density, the real cloud racks are pushing 30-40kW per rack so even if they were 20% and oxide 0%, they don't seem to have a comput

Norway really should have their ill gotten carbon profiteering assets stripped away and redistributed to less advantaged nations. Hopefully that will come soon, and this rock deposit could help pay for some of the interest.

Well the first OCP specification more than 10 years ago specced 13kW per rack. ORv3 is up to 30kW now, some vendors are pushing 40 and more. So maybe I'm missing something, didn't really seem like density was a major point of diff

I know it might seem like it, but there's just not that much in it. All video, USB, "console ports" can be driven from a small chip using a couple of watts. Some do all that on their BMC SoC, even. And if your requirements in

No I haven't, and "easy" is not a well defined term here. What I said is that it's not a matter of being ready or not, it's a matter of choosing to or not. And lots of companies can and actually did choose to do tha
