  • Thank you so much for this information.

    If you still have commenting motivation, what are the top 5 differences between x86 and ARM?

    Up until your post I had thought it exactly was the size of the instruction set with x86 having lots of very specific multi-step-in-a-single instruction as well as crufty instruction for backwards compatibility (like MPSADBW).

  • My understanding based on watching too many science communicators videos on YouTube is that such tiny black holes would evaporate quickly before causing harm that humans could appreciate. However, this would provide experimental evidence of Hawkings theory.

  • None of the answers I’ve read so far actually answer your question with basic facts.

    When you invest then you are buying a tangible financial instrument: a share of a company or a treasury bill or a municipal bond and so on. There is the expectation that over time, the value of your financial instrument will increase in value but this is not guaranteed. The lack of guarantee is the risk. Some instruments are riskier than others. The level of risk does not define gambling.

    When you walk into a casino and bet money on roulette, what are you buying? You are buying nothing more than a fleeting chance at winning more money. It is entertainment by thrill. There is no tangible thing that you own from gambling.

    Investing is one way that companies can raise capital to expand their business. Business expansion can lead to greater employment and higher standard of living. For investing to work as an economic system there must be liquidity. Someone must be willing to buy your financial instrument later at a higher price or some town must still be collecting taxes to pay back your bond years later.

    Hopefully you can see now why investing is encouraged and supported in society and gambling is either illegal or merely tolerated.

  • You know how in adventure video games the side quests are always more interesting and poignant than the main world-ender quest? I think Star Wars is gonna be like that now. Some weird episode in some cartoon series written by some guest scifi writer is gonna contain the best story.

  • Thank you! I look for more examples like this ever since someone turned down agave nectar because it wasn’t natural. I was trying to explain how agave nectar was what I always expect honey to be like (pours easy, lighter flavor).

    First, honey isn’t natural either. It’s made by an alien hive mind. A human collecting a plants nectar is way more natural. But any way, here is my contribution:

    Perhaps you’d like shots of this 100% all-natural rattlesnake venom? Not man-made at all.

  • Phishy

    Jump
  • Serious question. Why have a combination of operating system and email system that even allows this problem to exist at all?

    It’s like, what if stepping on a crack really did break your mother’s back? Wouldn’t we just build seamless sidewalks instead of constantly reminding every sidewalk user to not step on all the cracks everywhere?

  • We had our Beer Hall Putsch, now I’m waiting for our Reichstag Fire.

    And what the billionaire Trump backers don’t realize is that they will be the target of our Night of Long Knives.The puppets of billionaires do not aim to remain so.

  • Even after you do, you still have to find a definition

    LOL! 99% of people absolutely do not look up a new word when they hear it. If the listener thinks it makes the speaker sound smart then they get a vague idea of the meaning from context and then start using it – often in the wrong context. All the dummies of the world repeat this process and it spreads like a virus.

    And thus, another word with a very specific meaning gets turned into another broad-meaning synonym. If don’t believe me I’ll caveat all over your nuances until you verbiage.
