Not completely true. Only a small portion of the power / heat comes from moving signals between transistors. The most significant amount comes from the transistor gate itself.

Z stacking creates a very real problem in that heat concentrates more in a small space as there are multiple heat sources overlapping. Not only do you have more power/heat (though proportionally lower than a 2D layout) but you also have a requirement to move heat away from the source faster as hotspots would be more severe.

We're already reached the point where even standard heatpipes are struggling to keep hotspots on chips down. Vapour chambers ala AMD's Radeons will be more common place in our future. Thermal management on silicon will be the most key topic of research going forward, ... arguably it nearly already is with the amount of R&D being poured into it.

Yes they are. Given what we know about our population related to the links you share it's clear that it's an exception.

Statistics is hard I get it.

Actually you should read the title scroll in the movies. You don't need to read the books to realise there was many years between the movies and the title scrolls detail he was training.

That's an amazing retcon. I do wonder if you watched a different movie to me. The piloting stuff I fully agree with you by the way, but the rest of your post is bullshit.

- Kylo Ren didn't engineer anything. He was fighting hard against her and despite his decades of training in the force she bested him because of feels, completely undeserved. She was able to do things out of nowhere, without any knowledge of how she did it, and in one scene had a standoff with Kylo Ren pitting her force pull powers directly against his and didn't get instantly killed.

THAT my friend is the very definition of a Mary Sue. Ultimately it doesn't matter what you think a Mary Sue is, you can actually read about Starwars in writing textbooks describing it as a perfect example. So if you think she isn't a Mary Sue you should learn a bit more about writing.

As for that moisture farmer he:
- Received basic training. Proceeded to get his arse handed to him.
- Received more advanced training under the most powerful jedi in a galaxy. He got his ass han... well... he handed his hand over during his arse kicking.
- Then he spent several *YEARS* training as a jedi before finally becoming a master and winning.

So what you're saying is there's 1000x less people to solve the problem? 1000x less money to implement a solution?

Yes it's a magical place just like Disneyland. The USA by comparison is run like a fairground haunted house, where the most haunting thing is that none of the animatronics work because they've not invested in them since the 70s.

Who said the goodness of their heart. Do you not understand that banks make money just on the process of banking itself? You simply having your money deposited in a bank nets them profit. They don't provide free transfer services out of the goodness of their own hearts, they provide it as a free service to entice you to remain their customer.

About the only transfers that cost money are international transfers, and even those are advertised as "free" (check the exchange rates you got given).

Banking isn't free. Bank transfers are free. Incidentally sending a check requires that you use a bank, so in this case there's literally an electronic option that costs less (you don't need to pay for a postage stamp).

This is the USA. You've got fuck all right as it is, you literally can't get any worse. Payments and money transfers in the USA is such a shitshow that the default (and arguably essential option) for any transaction is to pay a private company with an appropriate policy a "protection fee", e.g. your credit card company.

As it stands you've got close to no protections, and where you have them, checks isn't it. Popquiz: In this story did the 63 year old get his funds back? It's right there in TFS.

Not only are the USA's cumulative emissions much higher than China, given current Chinese trends in emissions it will forever remain USA being the worst.

And the situation gets worse when you take your entitled racist hat off and realise that China has 4.5x the population of the USA meaning you either need to accept that the China needs 4.5x the American emissions to break even or agree that you're a racists entitled fuckwit who thinks you have a right to pollute more than a Chinese person.

No, there was always no alternative. Testing is the only way to quickly at a point in time assess knowledge. Incidentally testing is not done in trade apprenticships, but I don't think most employers are willing to throw 3 years into a university educated graduate as a trial to see if they are any good.

Just a quick curory google showed that month by month the Supergirl comics fluctuated around the same sales figures as that month's copy of Green Lantern, Deadpool, Aquaman and Old-man Logan comics.

The sales were about 2/3rds as high as actual Superman, The Amazing Spider Man, and Suicide Squad.

So take that for what you will.

While those are generally funny and ironic stories, even they are not examples of any fraud that has any affect in any meaningful capacity even in districts with the narrowest of margins.

That's not a problem though. That's a business decision. I have been literally told that "It doesn't matter if our Indian office delivers a project incorrectly 5 times, it's still cheaper to this there."

The funny part is our Indian office outsource it to an Indian subcontractor to save costs, so while my Indian counterpart makes 1/6th of the salary I do (literally, I have an employee on my team with the same grade and same industry experience), the actual project costs are about 1/10th or 1/15th of what it costs to do it in our London office. So 10x longer? Sounds like a win to me.

By the way at least the work we get from India will eventually be somewhat okay, unlike the hallucinated unmaintainable trash that AI spits out.

Okay critical drinker, put down the Whiskey for a moment. The fundamental flaw in your logic is that good writing and the message are not mutually exclusive or indeed related in any way. You point to Bay and that's a perfect example of what's wrong with your point. There are movies which are objectively rubbish but filled with action packed Bayhem. There are movies that are also good and well written that are filled with action packed Bayhem. The concept of Bayhem has nothing to do with writing, it's in the production and directing. All Michael Bay films are poorly *directed*, not poorly written or incoherent.

People who watch too many youtube videos of grumpy Scotsmen tend to think that "the message" is the cause of a problem rather than a completely independent variable. "The message" has always existed in Hollywood. Hollywood has always been "woke" from the first depictions of black men, first depiction of drags and queers long before society even gave a thought to accepting it.

The difference is when a movie is competently written and coherent people don't ignore it. When it's not, intelligent people criticises it for poor writing, or bad CGI, and dumb people parrot out the only words they know. "Woooooke, Wooooooke, Messssage, Messsssage."

*Note the Critical Drinker isn't dumb, but he is a cunt who very frequently blames the actual problems he identifies on the wrong root cause.

Honestly I think the biggest problem these days is that Hollywood / Streaming giants stopped hiring good writers. There's so many objectively fucking trash but non-woke movies out there as well.

No, people who can't write can't write. People who use the word "woke" don't understand why a movie is bad. They can't explain how simple changes in writing or directing can fundamentally fix movie flaws.

Either that or a few of them are genuinely misogynistic fuckkuckles who really can't stand the idea of a female protagonist, those people do exist as well.

No I get it. The reasoning is there, and it doesn't stand up to even one iota of scrutiny.

Yes. ... I ... wrote... Sorry I don't think I am the person who has reading comprehension problems. Try reading my post again. Pay particular attention to the whole sentence where I mentioned Alien (not Aliens, though that movie would be an equally good example) and the context of why I mentioned it.
