The Cortex-A series are big processors. They're generally used when compute power is more important than power consumption. While it's a promising benchmark, the RISC-V will need t…

Sure, if your only goal is to maximize profit extraction and wealth consolidation.

The very next quote debunks the interviewers statement that you've quoted. When Netflix moved into streaming there were not competitors. Lots of people saw a market there, but comp…

The law is a bunch of words that can be interpreted many different ways. The judicial branch is in charge of that interpretation. That interpretation is based on the wording of law…

They're more analysis defeaters than killswitches. Some testbeds will respond to all dns lookups as valid. If this is the case the binary assumes its in a testbed and exits to avoi…

In short, things are fucking amazing. Life is pretty awesome, if you choose to focus on the awesome things. That only works when you have the luxury of making that choice. I recent…

Don't forget referring to adult women as girls!

My wife made the observation a few years back that anytime she thought, "fuck it" while procrastinating or avoiding responsibilities that you could replace it with, "fuck you, futu…

Every new method of radically increasing information transfer speeds is ripe for monopoly.

Um... What? You do understand that a view of history is necessary to solve our current problems right? Studying how 17th century paintings reflect a culture on the cusp of global a…

Extracting value through code is not an inherently positive moral exercise. It may improve the world. From my perspective code that is built to extract value eventually attempts ve…

We would be better off going back to the antitrust monopoly busting of the initial 1930s new deal anyway.

Maybe PC hardware vendors has some automated kernel testing. I think it's different with embedded. The SoC company I worked for a couple of years ago didn't have anything like that…

With most people, I'd agree with you that local engagement would be more effective. Doubly so in the homeless hating bay area. However, Chris' access to capital, which equates to p…

That sounds more like a systemic problem where companies profitability is put forward as an excuse for anti-social behavior.

You're being overly pedantic and on top of that you're plain wrong. Physical media here is a collective noun, so "is" is the correct word.

Echoing faebser, it took me over 20 months to get over my recent burnout. It was a financial difficulty, but with the extra time of not working I was able to cut household expenses…

Isn't that the right thing to do for truly sensitive passwords? I'd much rather transcribe my financial account passwords to paper, or not log in for a couple days than have multip…

Absolutely not true in my experience. A cell phone reminder for a one-off is easily missed during my morning routine. A physical motion and/or out-loud speech associated with the e…

And filing in Texas is the same for patent prosecution. The plaintiffs know what to expect: interpretations from the bench that heavily favor them. It's not well developed law when…

It's morally bankrupt, but legally correct.

This is Hacker news comments. Workers are just suckers who haven't figured out how to suckle from the VC teat.

Timescales are a bit off for that rule though. People are generally better off in a few years from now, unless they've been paying that extra prosperity to as monthly interest on t…

I know you acknowledged that's anactodal, but we lose an hour at the end of flu season. You're more likely to be sick during this time of the year. The clock change has nothing to …

THANK YOU. Finally someone who realizes luck is just floating around out there equally available to everyone and it's just the people who work hard enough on their bootstraps that …
