If you commute that much you're living in a box either way

CEOs? Ruin their career? By what, jumping ship and taking a $100M bonus?

Lol, like the previous Boeing CEO. Kill a few hundred people, planes or plane components falling out of the sky, absolutely tank all manufacturing quality control, fail a NASA contract and strand a few astronauts...

Peace out and take a $62M bonus.

I wish I could get paid that much for failure or "accepting responsibility" lol

Would the army even exist if it weren't for young, naive, and/or desperate folk?

It also reuses old 2G/3G bands to allow much much higher throughput and therefore more customers per band

Sounds like you just need to play an RTS game.

Yeah, it pumps GDP numbers up. By having more people to do work.

Not by increasing GDP per capita.

It can suppress wages.

Immigrants often are expected to work for less money. After all, they usually immigrate from an economically worse country, so they don't expect to land top tier wages.

You keep filling in minimum wage jobs with an endless supply of immigrants, then there is never a worker shortage and never any incentive to raise the bar. No company needs to compete with higher wages to attract talent. In fact, it can make things worse and cause a race to the bottom... Reducing wages on existing positions until workers quit and just filling it with less skilled workers.

Oh, 75% electric now?

I just remember when they were first announced and basically none of them were electric, despite most postal routes being low speed, short distance, and frequent stops. Sounded absolutely stupid and reeked of industry kickbacks and bullshit.

Yeah, geekbench has long been known to favor iPhones. Even compared to other mobile SoCs like Qualcomm or MediaTek, it's... uh... "optimized" for what Apple chips are designed around.

Using it on a desktop for benchmarking is... Even more useless.

On top of that:

  1. The single core number obviously only uses one big core, of which Apple's chip only has 2.

  2. The score only reflects the maximum burst speed (it's not expected to sustain that kind of performance for more than 10 seconds. Even using both big cores simultaneously would cut that score short due to overheating.

  3. Desktop cpu has 16 cores that are all identical, and is expected to sustain those workloads indefinitely. Servers and supercomputers run these things 24/7.

  4. The desktop cpu is on an older node as well, inherently less power efficient.

It's a bit like saying, "for 10 seconds, I can run as fast as the world's fastest marathon ~~runner~~ TEAM!". Neat factoid but still incomparable.

They already stuck a screen on the back

 

From my understanding, the P8P's video boost can't be done in the phone itself, but it's actually uploading the video to Google's servers, processing it there, then downloading the finished product back again. In fact, it probably uploads two videos, one at high ISO and one at low ISO to get the full HDR range.

For anyone who wants to take lots of videos, this sounds like it'll blow through your data caps very quickly.

 

Big jump for the regular 8 but no increase at all for the pro?

 

Looking at the details listed from this leak, it looks like all the previous leaks were wrong. The specs for the main sensor are the same as the P7, the Samsung GN1 sensor.

Also rumors of the IMX787 ultrawide appear to be incorrect as well, only 48MP instead of 64.

 

Still waiting for Canoo to produce a consumer version, but at least they've made the vehicles for NASA. Maybe the publicity from this will help them get enough interest for the initial production and sales?

 

I'm guessing it's still a production line test unit, but it seems like the design is finalized and volume production could actually begin by the end of the year

Can't wait to see more of these. I hope that Rivian eventually makes an RV/camper version of this, it would go well with their adventure vehicle branding
