This is the time to buy EA stocks. If I had real money and not just money in my practice account I would totally buy shares now. Theyre at a 1 year low and will almost surely go back up after the release

These streets in NYC rarely go over 15 and 25mph. Cyclists can easily hit 5-10mph and still be safely within traffic limits. 

The bad part about that speed is bikers start swerving in and out of traffic though, and that where a lot of accidents happen.

Speed is not important if the rules take them into account. Keep to the right and everybody that's faster simply passes on the left. No problem.

About saddles, are you talking about a standard bike or a sporting bike? For a standard commuting bike you should have a nice comfy seat as your position is more upright, and weight is pressing down. For a sporting bike, things are different. It could be that your position is a little of, dimensions of your bike could be causing that strain or you might have to get used to it a little more.

It is over in america where the majority of city roads have no space for a biker. Think of it like a highway. A car going 80 in a 100 zone is a lot easier to pass then a car going 40 in the same zone. Traffic just runs a hell of a lot smoother

I've had bicycle seats that were perfectly comfortable and didn't get in my way. They are hard to find, though. I see the problems as a cross between people wanting the "look" and poor engineering.

 

I agree with your second paragraph except the last sentence. As long as one stays out of the way of traffic (vehicular and bicycle), it doesn't matter how fast or slow one goes.

Theres definitely some like that but the small bike seat is definitely there for a reason.

The problem with people going slow is they do get in the way. Most roads only have space for a car and maybe a bike and a slow biker just completely holds traffic up, and in my experience is much more unpredictable that a biker that is going a reasonable speed.

Side note... What is it with the people who design bicycles and gear? Bike seats hurt the crotch because they are narrow and hard so, instead of making more comfortable bike seats, they pad the shorts?

I just had to reply to this. The reason is that there should be almost no weight on the seat. If the seat hurts your crotch its not in the right spot. Ideally you shouldnt feel any pressure from the seats. The padding in the shorts is usually very minimal compared to a padded bike seat. and properly conforms to the body unlike a padded bike seat, which are usually so big you have improper form.

As I biker myself I honestly hate bikers on the road. The majority are either idiots who should be walking instead of biking because they go so slow on the road. Or entitled roadies that group up and take up literally the whole road, which is illegal in most jurisdictions. And the bikers who swerve though traffic and run reds are the absolute worst. Honestly there should be a license for being able to bike on a public road. It would solve a ton of problems with people who dont know what theyre doing and dont respect the law. There really needs to be rules about aptitude too. If you cant keep a solid 20 km/h on the average flat city road you really shouldnt be biking on it

@mr moose Some states, perhaps federally, have mandated requirements for breaks/leaves. We’re brainwashed into thinking that a wage increase is bad for the economy, yet we’re expected to spend more than we make collectively.

Youre promoting small business in one comment then saying something that is detrimental to it in another. I work for 2 small family owned business and they've both suffered heavily from the wage hike here.

While of course its good that AMD is finally catching up in the enthusiast market, this really isnt a great example for the overall scheme of things. If you counted all CPUs (including the ones in prebuilts and laptops) Intel would still be on top by a huge margin

Warren is not stupid, the idiots who follow the lifestyle of a billionaire who has shares in a company that he is pushing are the stupid fanboys.

If someone likes someone of course theyre going to try to replicate their lifestyle. Its like those people who do CEO morning routines just so that they can try to be like their favourite CEOs. Im sure theres someone you look up to that you try to replicate.

Im not saying its right, Im saying its outright idiotic to call a large portion of the population stupid for liking a certain product.

And we make fun of the normies, it all comes full circle

Id rather be liked by the majority of the population and hated by a small percent then the latter. 

Y'all really need to chill with the shit you guys say about Apple users. Its getting annoying and one of the reasons the general population makes fun of people who are tech oriented. Not everyone who owns an iPhone is a fanboy and its really annoying seeing half the posts in ANY thread referencing Apple talking about people being fanboys. It contributes absolutely nothing to the conversation and just serves for more reason for people to hate on the tech community.

Also to everyone calling Buffet stupid. This made has made billions on billions of dollars from investing. If this man says something about business, you should listen.

As someone who lives in a place where the temperature ranges from -45c to 45c (with wind chill and humidity) I find celsius easier to use because its basically a balanced scale. The middle is where society says its unacceptable to wear shorts, and is also when school starts getting cancelled so

Im not sure about other banks, but RBC has a type of investment account that simulates an actual account using the normal stock exchange, but without making actual purchases. I really like it because its using actual investment software without real money. It gives you 100,000 dollars to start with just to play with to figure out the software before you start actually investing.

False perception of reality.

Once patents arent an issue businesses will compete very hard, and in order to differentiate they will have to come up with something better/different.

Imagine if Steve Jobs patented the iPhone Smartphone design and no one else in the world can make a touchscreen smartphone with like a computer with camera and internet on it because they invented it. Something like that is what is happening to the rest of the patents nowdays, like the x86 instruction set hold exclusively by amd/intel.

 

Look at chinese companies like Xiaomi and many other that make little profit off their devices but use a different marketing approach where they sell for low prices to gain reputation and sell other products aswell.

 

I for sure know which model i prefer between Apple smartphone utopian world at 1000$ with 1gb ram, or free linux/android world with flagship killer smartphones for <300$, it doesnt even have to beat flagships, most midrange phones are so good nowdays they make flagships irrelevant for majority of users.

The end result is that there is place for everyone in a freer market without patents.

 

The best model is free economy with little government intervention and lenient or no patent laws.

That wouldnt happen, at all. Thats a very idealistic view of what would happen. Monopolies would be created because the companies with more money would just copy all the good things and make them better, without giving the smaller players the chance. The patent system allows smaller companies to come up with new ideas and keep them theirs without the big companies stiffing them out.

Actually, you'd get less performance since this has worse turbo boost than 14nm products.

This is very ignorant, you know clocks dont equal performance.

I would argue that heat output would stay the same if not be worse since Intel has confirmed that their current 10nm node is worse than 14++

If theyre releasing this its likely one of the tuned chips and actually works as intended, theyre also soldering chips which will make a difference.

NUCs traditionally cost $500+ and this for $500 is super overpriced.

You cant get anything better at the size, and it could be a lot worse.

I think youre hating on this for no reason, and making it seem a lot worse then it is, and looking at it from the viewpoint of a gamer, not someone who needs the small size

Honestly, at this low end, its usally cheaper to just buy a computer from a retailer

The title is extremely misleading honestly. Making a single transistor is much different then putting billions in a chip

Hell yeah, Im also a teenager still though so like every year brings new things for me

Doesn't Tegra X1 support PhysX though?

Not sure, but playing the game has an extremely complex Physics engine that the Switch probably cant handle well, the game would likely either have a completely different engine, or super shitty graphics to make up for it

It's possible that the Switch port was cancelled due to the perceived lack of potential for Live Services micro-transactions based games on the platform.

The game is one of the very few Ubisoft games that isnt centralized around micro transactions. In my whole time playing Steep I havent come across any need for one, not even cosmetically as everything can be unlocked by completing levels in the game. Of course theres DLCs, but they actually add more content to the game.

Might also be because all the graphical effects used to simulate snow woulda been too expensive on the Switch.

Im sure that this is why, or the physics required to simulate the way the skis move in the snow, which the game actually replicates extremely well

Is it possible to do both at the same time? Manufacturing chips at your own fabs and using "outsider" fabs as a temporary thing? 

No, because the process each uses to make chips is entirely different. Theyd basically be 2 completely different CPUs

I just have a question; why doesn't Intel take advantage of TSMC's manufacturing process? Is it a legal thing? A pride thing? A financial thing? 

Because they own their fabs and make all their own dies, they cant use TSMCs

Still doesn't change the fact it was a company and highly profited from moving shit back and forth across the seas. Being one throughout the British empire obviously helped that since they controlled a vast portion of the world, but it was still a private company for 170 odd years until the government effectively took over.

A company that did things that would cause companies nowadays to be literally destroyed by international governments, they are a bad example in every way
