Look, if China placed aggressive technology sanctions on the USA, the US would respond by spending billions to aggressively develop the technology that's being withheld. Sanctions just piss people off and give them something to challenge and defeat. And let's not forget that TSMC's 5nm node plant is located in Taiwan, ROC.
Schiller has made millions of dollars and is transitioning from an extremely demanding career to retirement. Not sure why this is newsworthy.
One manifestation of this is how people who support Donald Trump are reluctant to put stickers on their cars, signs on their homes, and even wear MAGA clothing because of multiple widespread documented cases of vandalism and violence. You see liberal and leftist campaign materials untouched around the nation because the opposition does not engage in these tactics and yet they claim the opposition are fascists.
These tactics are similar to those used by the early Nazi party
MAGA is a far right wing political movement. Its opponents include moderate Republicans as well as Democrats and others. The majority of Americans disagree with MAGA policies related to taxation, health care, immigration, foreign trade and political isolationism.
The critical thing to realize is that the people who disagree with MAGA are typical Americans. They're not extremists. They're not the mythical leftists that extremists paint as the boogeyman (seriously, does *anyone* in their right mind see the USA as a hotbed of socialism or communism?). They're just normal people who want a good life.
MAGA bumper stickers, signs and clothing are offensive to the average American, in much the same way that wearing a t-shirt in support of the KKK is offensive. Americans must have the freedom to stand up and and declare, "I do not believe in your extremist policies. You do not speak for me. You do not speak for the majority."
Someday, they will die out but for now they have a use!
The same can be said for *any* technical skill.
Just walk away.
Many of the major tech sites are built around profiting from user-generated content (and the users themselves). If you volunteer your time to generate content or moderate, you're fueling their business at your expense. The easy solution is to stop posting cat videos, stop moderating someone else's site and limit social media use.
(And, yes, the irony of this comment is that Slashdot is profiting from this user-generated thread).
If you spoke English, you'd realize that Trump doesn't.
Let's test your "it's been warming since the end of the last ice age" hypothesis. The global land-ocean index has risen by about 1 C in the past 50 years, and it's forecast to warm another 2 C in the 21st Century. At that rate, the planet will be uninhabitable in only several centuries. So I think we can safely conclude that normal climate cycles aren't responsible.
Oh, fuck it. Let's put it a different way. Imagine that the planet is a fishbowl and the fish have a nasty habit of chain smoking. They've noticed that the water is getting cloudy and their gills are having to work harder to breathe, but they're convinced it must be due to silt from the bottom, not from their dim-witted behaviour in a closed system.
Why this has to be a political issue is beyond me. It's only a matter of time before the raging masses start challenging the existence of gravity and the laws of physics. Faith based engineering is just around the corner...
If Boeing went out of business tomorrow, there would be a global aircraft shortage. If Instagram unplugged its servers, the world would continue unaffected.
The US economy will slip into recession this summer, and Trump will angrily state that it's because the rest of the world is ganging up on the USA after 8 years of weak government under Obama. He'll use Twitter to single out and humiliate opposing politicians - preferably female - and use anger and hatred to ride easily into a second term in office.
We understand that there's more to warfare than cyphers. Your assumption that everyone here is an idiot is irrational, too. That said, code breaking played a critical role in the war.
Oh, the one-liners almost write themselves.
"It's fascinating to see an administration that's so anti-science enthusiastic about something that requires so much science."
"I hear the first job of the Space Force will be to build a really, really big wall to keep the green people out."
Tablets are more popular than *desktops*, not notebooks.
You're in the wrong demographic. The Amazon Fire 7 is available for under $50 (as low as $29.99 last Thanksgiving) and the Fire HD 8 is discounted to $69.99 several times a year. They don't require data plans or monthly subscriptions, which makes them ideal for people on an extremely limited budget -- just head down to McDonald's or the local library for free wi-fi.
iPhones amounted to 19.2% of the global market in the last quarter of 2017. That means that 4 out of every 5 phones sold are made by other companies, running Android. Apple marketshare is indeed a sliver.
Samsung will replace the battery for about $79. There's no need to replace your phone just because the battery's failing.
