Actually it's not. A body's name by its nature has its importance dictated by the group representing its users. The USA isn't an exclusive user of the body of water in the ocean so the naming convention falls to the agreement of an intergovernmental body. If they wanted to rename a lake within its borders more power to them, they are the only authorities on that, but outside the USA is irrelevant, the only important people in this scenario are the International Hydrographic Organization who are the internationally recognised authority on charting of oceans recognised by maritime organisations and governments the world over.

And they call it Gulf of Mexico.

As do we when we do projects there, except when we have to submit any documents to the US government. Then we run the documents through a CoPilot agent that simply looks for all variations of Gulf of Mexico and changes it to America to make the world's least secure prez feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

You're not important. Even when we need to work with you the world treats you with distain. It's a shame. I do recall a time you were respected.

No the US is a majority of the people living in a country with English as the official language world. They are a tiny portion of total English speakers in an official capacity. It's important to remember that the USA doesn't dictate the English language beyond their borders. There's well over a billion people who do not live nor are they governed by any country that recognises the English name "Gulf of America".

No I didn't. I'm following the OP's logic. Intel is no different, that's despite their product listing being higher, cadence being different, having acquired Altera, Habana labs, Mobileye, just to name the ones in the billions.

I didn't write the rules, I just made a comment following the absurdity. By the way Xilinx doesn't remote account for the increase. They weren't a company with twice the employee count of AMD, so even with your rules the point stands.

It's great that you can remember every example you've read in your life in a way that precludes you from ever repeating that mistake elsewhere. Unfortunately the rest of us are human beings.

We've seen what these mega studios shit out when they try and be original. Be thankful they are simply trying to recreate something that is known to be good. Mega game developers are like my niece, when she draws a picture for you it's completely unrecognisable, but she's not too bad using a colouring in book.

Yes that's the state of the industry. Thank god for indie studios.

What makes you think I'm not doing it?

The answer to your first question is: I don't respond, because nobody says that to me, because it's not a thing I do.

Couldn't make sense of the rest of your jumble.

Burn baby burn.

You missed the difference between electrical energy and heat energy from burning things.

EVs use much more electrical energy than ICEs which use none other than what they generate themselves.

Electric stoves use much more electric energy than gas stoves. I had a gas stove once, it didn't even have an electrical connection. The electric stove is rated at 11.3 kW if all the elements are on. To use natural gas to generate electricity to be converted back to heat is downright stupid, but here there is no natural gas service.

And again, the heat pump takes far more electricity than a gas furnace which only needs to run the blower motor. The heat pump has two fans and a compressor. It might be energy positive today when it's 40 F, but at -5 F it's done and the resistors come on.

So replacing all these fuel-based thing with electricity power equivalents is greatly increasing the electrical power demand and the generation and transmission capacity isn't ready yet.

That's the point.

Solving today's isolated event doesn't solve the underlying problem. I think virtually all people would say treating the underlying very high base level of air pollution is far more important than solving what is a very short lived smog problem. People aren't going to get healthy by banning Diwali firecrackers, not when the average year round Air Quality is 2x worse than the recommended short term daily peak healthy exposure from the WHO.

It's sort of like telling someone "don't go swimming, you'll get wet" while you're both standing in a torrential rain.

How? Those are easy words to type, but not so easy to convert into a policy addressing a city of 35million poor people with little capital to invest in change.

I want to point out to you that California is not only extraordinarily wealthy, but that despite everything they've done they still top the charts in air pollution, and that despite 40+ years of efforts to get it under control.

The problem isn't easy to solve for a rich state like California, try take away all the wealth and cram the entire population into one city and see how far you actually get with "pollute less" as a general policy.

How? No seriously please workshop this for a while. When coming up with your solution see how it factors into a city with an unfathomable population of $35million people, the majority of which are so fucking poor that any attempt to get them to change their practices will need to result in direct capital injection into the practices of private people.

Not as easy when you see the boundary conditions is it? Paris got rid of its smog. It's a city with a tiny fraction of the population, a far better starting position, a far more wealthy and more easily adaptable population, and yet it still required a huge injection of capital along with resulting in riots at virtually every proposed change.

When you figure out your idea, ask yourself how it will be received by the people and how long you will be in government? Even America can't install a damn windfarm without the country going far right fascist in the process.

It sounds like you never should have had intel stock in the first place. Investing in a company means understanding what they are doing. They have had a division focused on AI Server Chips as part of their Datacentre group for nearly 3 years now and have been pushing out AI specific products for that period already. Intel had divisions dedicated to special purpose industries for a long time now. It's why they purchased Altera 10 years ago.

Sidenote: Jan 2024 the head of the AI and Datacentre Group at Intel left to become CEO of the Altera Spin-off. So not only has the AI group been around for a while, but it's gone through multiple leadership changes in its time.

You selling based on this news shows you haven't been paying attention to the company the past 5 years.

Uh, no. Center of gravity isn't related to how high the driver sits.

Ah, I see, you think they should use low-floor buses. Those are a lot more expensive, have higher maintenance costs (especially the kneeling ones), require flatter terrain (buses don't go offroading, but where I live they can't stay on the pavement all the time and also have to contend with deep snow), and give up seating capacity because the wheel wells and rear engine intrude into the seating are. Their only real advantage is accessibility. City bus systems can't predict where disabled people will be, so all buses have to be accessible.

School districts, on the other hand, do know where the disabled kids are so it's much more cost effective to buy and operate less expensive buses for moving the 95% of the kids who can climb stairs and to operate a separate fleet of smaller buses equipped for accessibility to pick up the disabled kids. So, they save the money on buses and spend it instead on teachers and classrooms.

As a taxpayer and a parent and grandparent, I think that's the right choice.

Which section was that? What was it called? You should be able to look it up, the posting history is public. Here's a page from 6 months before announcing her presidential campaign and there is no mention of a section dedicated to her scandals: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/ind...

Yes there were a lot of edits prior to her presidential campaign, that generally happens to all leaders all over the world on every corner of the political spectrum when they announce their presidential run. That is basic information management, people are going to look up who you are. That isn't bias against one or another side.

However your comment mentioned something specific, so please [Citation Required] because right now I can't find a corroborating evidence for your claim of a coverup.
