I feel for you...
So, imagine a beowulf cluster of these things!

I would imagine that interconnect with these things would be an issue. Usually computation is cheap while bandwidth is expensive, so you might have to use a huge number of extremely small computational cores to get the kind of linear increases in speed we'd expect. That would have to result in a RISC arcitecture, and apparently you can build a more or less complete computational core with just 70 transistors.

Not sure if anyone has ever tried to make a parallel processor out of those, but Maxim Integrated has a microcontroller called the MaxQ in this category of exotic architectures.

The excellent coding has been around for a while. It's asset creation which is uncomfortable. Large studios with big budgets go at it with the sweatshop approach, so there is little demand for procedural workflows.

It's mostly fine art in concept and Z-brush, and then a series of atrocities conducted against the artists' vision as the assets get shoe-horned into a console.

So good luck Sony... You'se gots problems.

I know Apple hating has its merits... but for fucks sake you're taking rhetoric too far.

Sounds like something Jason Scott might be interested in.

Charity doesn't need to be reminiscent of mortification of the flesh.

Juxtapose, grocery stores still dump edible food into locked trash containers so that hobos won't be able to benefit from society's excesses. - Apple is simple not participating in such an absuredly evil practice, in this case.

"Don't be evil" is often good enough.

I don't know where home is for you, but when considering the general state of most of the world it would seem that even though you clearly are better off now, and most likely you bring experience and funds back to your home country, an issue does remain.

There exists a real sense of morality, an instinct for solidarity, and foremost a sense of equality among people who are naturally different from each other. Large parts of Western society are wealthy enough to dabble in such philanthropy, and that is probably a good thing. However, philanthropist of any economic background become conflicted when we observe that our unfair treatement is better than what you are accustomed to anyway. It highlights the inequality which is delieated by national borders.

Perhaps the hope that remains is that even though you came for the money, some of the good parts of the culture rubbed off on you. Finding the good parts of Western culture is a tall order in the corporate world though.

From what I have read on A5, the newer versions made a strange mistake which actually leaves A1/2&3 slightly weaker against brute force attacks than A5/1.

It is possible to use rainbow tables against A5, which seems to mean it isn't salted. - There should be more than enough performance in modern devices to support stronger encryption.

#fusion. I meant #fusion.

Oh hivemind, don't you ever rest...

Have you heard what fusion people are saying about fission though? It's almost as bad, as if they don't realize that we needed better-than-fossil yesterday.

Nevermind that you can burn current long-term waste in LIFTR so that it becomes only a minor problem. Reason need not apply.

That is why #lockheed #fission matters. It's political, populist, and a Big Idea which makes small people hiss and bark in fear. I think the Skunworks being in control is the best thing that could happen to fission, because they need and have opsec and lobbyists.

That was always expected. What was unexpected was the cottage industry of investing in indie games and promoting them through back channels.

That is probably what the quinnspiracy is about. GamerGate should be about journalistic ethics.

Simpler, according to 20140301517 that flopsquad found. The magnetic coils remove heat through liquid, and that same liquid is what transfers power.

It appears to be the spiritual successor of the airborne reactor.

If it has a name, it is not AI.

AI is forever at the horizon, but that is also what makes AI research great.

The problem with the haters is that they are irrational. They say and do things by impulse, but provably those impulses seldom come to fruitation. It is an unsightly reminder of the ape-like instincts in man, and it can not be solved by talking about it on the internet.

Journalistic integrity is a completely different class of problem. The problem here is rational people who misuse their intelligence. It is a problem we can do something about. It can be given focus and the correct emotional response and proper action can be recognized, like one would do in group therapy.

Yet, while this therapy is being administered, the session is being interrupted by confused emotional remarks about gender, equality and security. We know that the journalists don't want to participate in 'selling out', but they feel they are in lock-step with what media companies demand from them.

There is a Streisand factor involved too. GamerGate would not get this much attention if it wasn't for the headline-making death threats. - This could have been intentional as the community of game consumers concerned with the integrity of their journalists is thoroughly versed in insidious plots. - If so, we are facing a strange breed of genuine extremists who will resort to emotional blackmail for the purpose of keeping independent game makers on the straight and narrow.

Conventional wisdom says 'follow the money', and in this case there is $60 billion of it annually. By the standards that accompany these figures, it is a good thing no one has actually been murdered yet.
