Yes, the kid is most likely wrong (and the idea behind it is kind of... crazy in the first place, but entire civilizations can be crazy sometimes). But you can point that out while not sounding like a condescending ass.

It is a wonder we have any of the sociable, friendly ones like Neil deGrasse Tyson around. Even if he isn’t the brightest man around, he sure is friendly rather than rude and condescending.

How, exactly, do you expect a fifteen year old kid to verify the existence of a lost Mayan city? His best option was to do exactly what he did, get the info out there so someone capable could verify it or show it to be wrong.

I hope the kid is right only because the experts were kinda... well, dicks in their response.

Which has a vastly higher fuel cost than this will.

Yes, but far greater speed makes up for both lower passenger counts and lower freight amounts. If this can make a dozen trips in the same amount of time a normal method does, while carrying half or a quarter the amount... isn’t that still a net improvement in throughput?

Like... what?

This is just a test. The actual products are supposed to hit around 1,220 km/h, I understand. Though they may limit passenger units to a lower speed, around maglev levels, with non-passenger cargo units going as fast as possible.

All of their NT-based OS’s have been competent. Some have been more competent than others, namely 7 and 10, but they have all had some degree of competency.

That is an awful lot of hate for an assertion.

Not like there is anything else to do in Brazil. It is either this or soccer... and, come on... soccer?

Yeah, he just meant the “Pascal” tech (and probably some tech not available in these cards), not this particular set of video cards.

Outside of potentially a Vulkan or DX12 built game, you will bottleneck so hard that you may as well replace the 10 with a 6 or 7.

Can’t help but feel that the lack of HBM2 is pretty damned lame.

If it makes you feel any better... AMD is somehow even worse in the driver department.

It might just be a bias... yours. Which would be your problem.

Vivaldi identifies as Vivaldi.

Vivaldi is just a custom version of Chromium, why wouldn’t it identify as Chrome?

Wouldn’t it be “all of the popular ones”?
