As a frequent work traveler, airport prices are always at least double what they are outside the airport. It's not a fair comparison.

It depends on what you mean by "more likely to announce things with no industrial relevance". If we are including humanities, then yes. If we exclude humanities, then no. Nearly al…

Companies lie and exaggerate all the time. It's called PR. It makes no difference whether it comes from a company or university, but companies have much more incentive to lie than …

Doesn't surprise me in the least. McDonald's is such a bad company on many levels, even from its founding roots. They make fast food (an industry notorious for craping all over the…

I was addicted to these games as a kid. Too bad they never remade them and now its some obscure title nobody can get.

It would be anti-trust if they were deliberately shrinking supply to hike up prices on their cards. For example, I know I have the best card in the industry, so I'm going to force …

It wasn't in the 2000's back when ATI and NVIDIA cards had comparable prices. Sometimes ATI cost a little more because they were better, but they were never crazy different from NV…

Microsoft delivers AI recall Everyone hates it Apple integrates AI into every facet of a device that is highly personal Everyone loves it Please make it make sense.

Yeah, it's a shame, I often have to do this type of crap in my off time. However, having a well architected app significantly reduces these types of massive undertakings. Doing it …

Output has been scarce for NVIDIA gpu's for quite some time. Often not even being able to support the demand for their cards. NVIDIA is a trillion dollar company right now. There s…

When AMD can run 95% of games as good as any NVIDIA card and you factor in that most games have virtually no ray tracing support or any other fancy feature that NVIDIA offers, coup…

I understand antitrust law enough to know that "mad I can't game on Linux" is an anti-competitive measure. As far as what I read about the driver stack, they only recently (within …

This is one successful landing. I think its robustness needs a lot more successful landings than this. Plus, its not even landing like it was originally designed to land, its just …

I'm not sure what world you live in, but Nvidia sells their cards at 1.5 - 2 times the price than AMD's on average and AMD has had strong Linux support for years.

I agree with this. In a large organization, if you have risen to a level where you are being relied upon at a regular intervals, it is imperative that you have a well architected s…

There is succeeding, then there is your company being overvalued to insane levels because of some hype boom. It also doesn't mean that just because you outcompete, then you can art…

Consumer harm = selling their graphics cards at outrageous prices by keeping supply low and reducing the OS support for them by making Linux drivers crap. Then again, it never "req…

You can always get a job as another executive, so I doubt its the "best job she will ever have". But I agree, she was most likely pressured.

I agree with your sentiments, but she was not fired. She resigned. There is a big difference. Of course, I wasn't there so I don't know if it was a forced resignation (ie. firing) …

DEI has always been in companies before the term even arose to the larger public discourse. I have to go through such trainings every year at every company I've been at. There has …

I think Claudine Gay is a bad example. First of all, she wasn't fired, she resigned. If you look at her credentials, she is more than qualified for the position. Many people attack…

Yes, lets just perpetuate mistakes in perpetuity. And I highly doubt everyone would end up with the same misconceptions. However, the fact that Khan Academy is a) not rigorous, b) …

I don't know if we are talking about the same article, I'm talking about this one "How well does Khan Academy teach?" by the Michigan University math prof who outlines, in detail, …

Considering the fact that if you apply for scholarships, get good grades is high school and good ACT/SAT scores, and you can get funding from the government, college can be relativ…
