  • You can sue the federal government. Qualified immunity keeps these assholes from facing any consequences at all.

  • That's a platform dependent change. Overflow is undefined behavior. I'd rather have my code portable so it can run on my Univac 1101.

  • Yup, the band is already littered with 6g devices. It'd be a stupid purchase.

    But also, 6GHz is somewhat of a useless band for carriers. It's high enough frequency that it'll get absorbed by most things yet low enough frequency that it'll struggle to really carry a whole lot of data.

  • Walmart’s Billionaire Heiress Buys Full-Page Ad Urging People To ‘Mobilize’ At June 14 Anti-Trump Protests

  • It's remarkably cheap for a billionaire to do this shit. Bezos bought wapo for $250M

    It'd frankly be dead cheap for a billionaire to setup and run a progressive newspaper and/or fund a hundred YouTube progressives and progressive politicians.

    Heck, they could setup and operate a general union fund and support union campaigns and union relief funds. They could indefinitely support striking workforce. Doing that just once would completely change how companies interact with unions.

  • TIL the original drummer of The Offspring is a gynecological oncologist who was sued for malpractice. The judge called a mistrial when he saved a juror who had a heart attack

    Jump

  • Exactly.

    He could have seen another trial, but it'd be with a new jury.

    Arbitration is usually faster and cheaper than setting up a brand new trial.

  • Walz Calls on Dems to ‘Bully the S**t’ Out of Trump or Risk Becoming ‘Roadkill’

    Jump

  • They don't have the votes to pass a law, they do have the votes to stop laws from being passed. Further, the Republicans just killed a rule that allows 30 senators to block all bills by challenging executive decisions. The Republicans killed the rule to roll back a Biden admin decision to allow California stricter emission standards. Every challenge requires a mandatory 10h of debate. There are about 100 years worth of Trump admin decisions Dems can challenge to block the upcoming budget bill.

    Will they do that? Probably not, because they rolled over on the CR when they could have easily filibustered it.

    And yes, Schumer knows about this, he wrote an open letter warning Republicans not kill the rule.

    This is what I hate about the Democrats. They'll happily roll over, yet I guarantee you the Republicans will abuse the hell out of this rule if a Dem president gets into office.

  • Walz Calls on Dems to ‘Bully the S**t’ Out of Trump or Risk Becoming ‘Roadkill’

    Jump

  • Exactly.

    The senate is particularly bad. Schumer is basically MIA and is effectively rolling over because thinks letting republicans get everything they want somehow looks good for him.

  • Is 8GB a lot? Depends on the context.

    Jump

  • Slow? Not necessarily.

    The main issue with that much memory is the data routing and the physical locality of the memory. Assuming you (somehow) could shrink down the distance from the cache to the registers and could have a wide enough data line/request lines you can have data from such a cache in ~4 cycles (assuming L1 and a hit).

    What slows down memory for L2 is the wider address space and slower residence checks. L3 gets a bit slower because of even wider address spaces but also it has to deal with concurrency issues since it's shared among cores. It also ends up being slower because it physically has to be further away from the cores due to it's size.

    If you ever look at a CPU die, you'll see that L1 caches are generally tiny and embedded right into the center of the processor. L2 tends to be bolted onto the sides of the physical cores. And L3 tends to be the largest amount of silicon real estate on a CPU package. This is all what contributes to the increasing fetch performance for each layer along with the fact that you have to check the closest layers first (An L3 hit, for example, means that the CPU checked L1 and L2 and failed at both which takes time. So L3 access will always be at least the L1 + L2 times).

  • Often, some of the dumbest people in the company. Unless the CEO literally founded the company, chances are really high that they are a know nothing nepotism hire. Their only skill was being born to a rich and well connected family.

  • I really wish people would stop idolizing business leaders as ideal government leaders.

    The principles that make a good business are fundamentally different and often in conflict with good government leadership.

    A business would say "oh that rural farming community? let's ignore them. They'll never make up more than a tiny fraction of our profits".

    A good government, on the other hand says "oh that rural farming community is the breadbasket for the population. Let's keep them happy so the people in the cities can continue to eat cheap produce".

    And this doesn't even touch the corruption aspect. A business leader won't likely have the morals to properly regulate their own business.

  • And, to be clear, 2019 was under the trump admin. I can't stress enough how crystal clear and dire someone's case would have had to have been for Trump's immigration judges to grant asylum. They were giving that out to basically nobody during his first term. Except for I guess this guy.

  • Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) just began a filibuster - Live Stream

    Jump

  • I need you to explain why you think it’s a better choice to give Trump the ability to indiscriminately terminate non-essential government employees than to have control of the budget.

    AN EXECUTIVE ORDER IS NOT LEGALLY BINDING.

    TRUMP SIGNING ONE DOESN'T MAGICALLY GRANT HIM LEGAL POWER TO INDISCRIMINATELY TERMINATE EMPLOYEES.

    Your opinion that an EO is somehow more scary than a bill that grants the powers of the EO to the president is what's entirely insane.

    You aren't concerned with facts as you've been corrected not just by me but multiple other people throughout this comment chain. You just want to believe schumer didn't do something stupid.

  • Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) just began a filibuster - Live Stream

    Jump

  • FFS I've already covered this while talking about the bill. It had riders ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider_(legislation) ) that gave the admin addition discretion over the budget. Those riders are not temporary.

    And I already covered EOs if you bothered to read.

    You are now purposely being obtuse because you don't want to accept that schumer did something moronic.

    He helped the republicans pass a bill that Trump wanted them to pass. End of story.
