I'm sure their marketing material said "up to 12 megabit"...

This is absolutely no-win for the Chinese government, and I'll happily agree with you on that. The problem is that the initial WHO investigation was flawed and much of the data provided was summaries, rather than the raw data. The Chinese government had vetoes on who the WHO could send as investigators and effectively had right-of-first-refusal for the produced report. Not exactly things that inspire confidence in the report itself. I expect that if the shoe had been on a different foot, and the outbreaks had first started in the US or EU near some virology laboratory, investigators would also not have had unrestricted access to the data there either.

My complaint is more that we'll never be entirely certain where this came from, even though the story in the report seems entirely plausible.

Would be great, but...

Kind of seems that the "one hour limit" is written specifically to encourage this kind of response from the corporate side. Scary stuff for sure.

Especially when we all know "too many full-time" means "too many to pay benefits" for.

The fault is with the political authority in Texas. ERCOT was given significant authority when it comes to the grid, but absolutely no teeth when it comes to suppliers.

This should be entirely unsurprising. A $40 billion price tag for a segment of Softbank that lost $400 M last year according to Softbank's annual report. Nvidia will be under some pressure to start seeing some ROI. Nvidia itself does make a lot of money, so they could deal with a loss from that segment for a while, but no one spends $40 billion to get something that will only cost them further. This either means they cut back on R&D within ARM (at the detriment to the licensees) or they save the best new ARM core changes for themselves or at a significant premium. The only thing that would prevent the latter is vaguely worded assurances.

Regardless of what you think of Qualcomm, their failed attempt to purchase NXP at the hands of Chinese regulators should give people pause. Sure, the Qualcomm-NXP deal was scuttled primarily due to political tensions, but I'm not sure I see them easing enough let them approve a deal like this when it already has posted objections from some of the large tech companies in China (Huawei in particular).

So instead of the "company store" it's now "company government"? How could that possibly go wrong?

Sure it is - at least in the sense that it isn't purely RISC or it wouldn't support a CISC ISA. I'll grant you that it isn't "hybrid" in the sense that it runs both interchangeably.

The dirty secret is that there aren't really any truly CISC CPUs any more. For processors based on x86, the ISA may be CISC, but the execution of that isn't. The instruction stream is converted to something RISC internally.

Recent-ish x86 CPUs are all basically "hybrid" processors in that regard.

I think this is a most reasonable idea, but the devil is still in the details. I've always viewed corporate taxes as the price that was paid for the preferential treatment of capital gains (lower rate, stepped-up basis, etc). Trade one for the other, and I think this works. I don't understand why labor is more highly taxed than investing/speculation, especially when there's so much more control of when you can realize capital gains.

Thank you, RIAA. I had no idea this project existed until you issued that takedown notice.

Or that Mitch is actively trying to kill said negotiations.

Definitely neglecting her office to spend a couple hours late at night to play some games.

This is a dumb article for exactly the reasons you point out.

The problem with heating is exactly the same as it was for 4G when it first came out: Processing requirements for the specification and the PAs required to do the transmission. Not the transmission itself.

"Sigh!" indeed.
