Totally. I’ve always gone w/AMD because of the value they provide. Even during the bad days of 10 years ago, I’d think that I’d make my next build Intel. But as soon as I priced out CPUs at Microcenter or Newegg, I’d think nope. Sorry.

That’s relatively standard product binning. Lower priced CPUs are often produced from flawed dies of higher end parts, with the flaws cut out. Once a process matures, yields go up (meaning fewer flawed dies), and production costs go down. Which makes it cost effective to sacrifice the good dies to fill that product…

OK but no. I’m done with Intel and their 14nm processors, I’ve been reading for 4 years that the new architecture is coming out “soon” so it’s getting ridiculous at this point. It’s like you see an advertisement for a brand new BMW 3 Series, but when you get to the dealership it’s actually a 2005 Toyota Corolla with a…

WITNESS ME!

We must know as well that the present average monthly wage in Brazil is 2,130.01 Brazilian Real, that equals 579.66 US Dollar.

Problem is not absolute fuel prices, but a steep increase in price over a short time period amidst a overall economic crisis. Truckers were suddenly paying to work.

this reminds me of a time when rich people were against a sbway station in their neighborhood because “it would degrade the area” and “bring undesired people” stuff.

Meanwhile you have companies like Riot games or even worse Trendy. Can’t count the number of times Trendy openly lied and got caught even on their own streams mere hours later.

This is almost certainly the right answer. Corporate CYA at its finest.

“The moral imperative not to discriminate cannot pragmatically be put into practice absent diversity.”

I think you missed the point. If you offer a bunch of people pizza to choose from, and you notice that only a few women are eating the hawaiian pizza and it’s mostly being consumed by men, there isn’t an inherent issue of women systemic discrimination of pineapple loving women. More women could have chosen not to eat…

Like I said, you are just describing discrimination. Not implicit bias. I’m not asserting that people aren’t discriminatory, I am asserting that we should stop discrimination. You seem to be asserting that instead we should get enough diversity in place so that even though everyone discriminates for their in-group,…

You understand that the writer of this piece is a social justice warrior with a specific agenda and perspective, so any other viewpoints that do not support the narrative she is pushing are not acceptable, right?

Precisely...this Chevalier guy is a moron...he’s trying to say that Google should embrace and support people who push back against racisim and gender equality regardless of how they push back...his response to Damire was extremely offensive and he was rightfully fired...his take essentially says that if a person…

“It’s 180 degree reversal of national morality in less than a human lifespan. And you’re trying to tell me morality doesn’t change.”

Well, you ARE a racist

I’m not a post-modernist so I don’t accept the “everything is subjective” horrible takes of Foucault and Derrida.

You are conflating two things. We both agree that discrimination is morally wrong. There is definitely a pragmatic argument for diversity of opinion and viewpoint. What you claim to be the justification for diversity, is just the moral justification to not discriminate. For instance, if your organization doesn’t…

56% of the Google workforce is white, 61% of the US population is white.

‘Chevalier argued, but their words were similar. “The effect is the same: to intimidate and control women, whether an individual wife or girlfriend or all of this person’s female coworkers”’
