I could name three, but they're just coordinates. This issue is human beings elevating places to unreasonable significance.

I am in awe of the hair.

Useful means of production and tangible assets of benefit, with intrinsic value.

I mean, I live in a low crime neighborhood. Thanks for pointing out the crime of having offered up "southern conservative". Indeed, I live south of the Potomac, and embrace the traditional "conservative" values of individual liberty, equality before the law and private property that are currently under such systematic attack by godless Commie sodomites. Guilty.

I wasn't quoting. I was paraphrasing. So, you seem to be espousing Evolution here, amIright? I'm still trying to work out the shift from inorganic to organic chemistry. In particular: why does it take less faith to subscribe to Evolution than any other of the alternatives (without bothering to espouse any one of them).

Wow, I think you've reached damn_registrars levels of making stuff up out of whole cloth. Everything I say underscores disregard for truth? You've moved past strawmen to a comprehensive sort of Dyson sphere of tautology surrounding me now. Let me give you a golf clap. [clap]. Does the sound penetrate this bubble in which you've encapsulated me?
Can I ask where this bubble is going, since you're doing all the driving?

So, other than strawmanning and boorish browbeating in the face of reasoned responses, and projection, do you have anything? Anything at all?

What I actually want is to constrain the Federal government to its original enumerated powers. But the truth doesn't seem to amount to much with you anymore.

> This didn't protect against such scams either however, as people did things like manually redrawing bridges on chips to disabled cores and so on.

That's because they were doing things outside the chip packaging, such as putting SMD components (jumper resistors for instance) on the top of the package. It's not hard so solder simple SMD components with a soldering iron, though it is a little harder than reflashing some firmware.

If they make the modifications on the chip die, before packaging, that's going to prevent almost anyone from re-enabling features that were disabled at the factory. Cutting a chip open, making modifications at the microscopic level, then putting it back together so it isn't obvious that it's been tampered with, is not an easy task, or something that a guy in his garage can do.

It seems the real use for SQLite (besides teaching) is for cases where you simply don't have multiple processes accessing the same database, or if they do occasionally, performance isn't a big concern. One big example I can think of is storing configuration variables for applications. That's not something you want to have a full-blown database like PostgreSQL running for, but it can be handy to use SQLite so you have more power than you'd get with flat files.

AMD does this. Nvidia does this. Pretty much everyone making complex chips does this. It's massively uneconomical to throw away an entire chip over partial failures.

Then they need to stop doing this. Chips should be able to run any software you throw at them without having problems.

If there's bad cores on the chip, there's an easy solution: don't use software to turn off the cores, use hardware. When the chip is still unpackaged, it should be fairly easy to use a laser to disable the core permanently, maybe by setting some jumpers inside the chip or something. Mfgrs should make any mods to the hardware they need to while it's still in the factory; after it's out, it should be able to run any software.

This is what they get for trying to do everything with software.

You're thinking of Sibil Danning...

What I actually think, not that it amounts to a fart in your thunderstorm of stereotype, is captured nicely here:

Let's stipulate that this is an 80/20 ratio in favor of delegation, and that when we say "delegation", we mean, "what the large-frogskin donors want".
But shag all that. Let's focus on what matters: your strawman collection.
