Comment Use existing hardware? (Score 3, Insightful) 97

I can't answer your actual question, but I get the feeling you'd be better off trying to leverage existing hardware. Video encoding/decoding processes are broadly similar and you could probably leverage existing hardware acceleration built into video chips already by using the appropriate API's.

It seems exceptionally unlikely any OEM would add an extra ASIC to any sort of media player just to get hardware support for your particular codec without it being a revolutionary change, and even then I have my doubts

Musk is on record as saying that out of everything that could have been recovered, those two side boosters are the things he most wanted back. They have the upgraded titanium grid fins on them which can and will be re-used, and are seemingly a) very hard to make and b) expensive as hell.

As a side note, putting a nose cone on an F9 core drops the grid fins performance by 30%, so those grid fins may actually be the only 2 in existence since they had to make them larger to account for that

Pray you never have to use one of these things with a 5400 drive in it. They are so slow you really do wonder if there is something wrong with it. The fusion drive should be the minimum spec, and even that is only just useable

In the days of every laptop coming with an SSD they still can't manage to put it in every desktop.

Good work Apple

Why do you think it stigmatizes anything?

Everyone putting food on the shelf in that state will be required to do this as far as I understand, so _everyone_ is in the same boat.

This gives consumers the choice. If they want to buy more expensive non GMO options they will be able to make that decision.

The fear the companies have is that there will be non GMO products available at the same price they have been selling theirs at, and everyone will buy that instead.

If everyone is using the same base GMO ingredients, then no one has anything to worry about and everyone will keep buying exactly what they are already buying
