The article doesn't answer questions like whether this is unusual, if other CPUs historically have had a lot of dummy silicon, whether this is expensive or how it impacts the cost of production or how it affects the complexity of production itself. It's what I'd expect from modern journalism, but not really what I expect from good journalism.

I had a T9 dumb phone because that's all that was available. Smartphones didn't exist yet. There was no reason to be on your phone the whole time, at most I might be distracted because I'd be texting a crush during class. I wouldn't be scrolling through social media - it didn't exist yet or what did exist wasn't accessible by phone.

> Why isn't bringing manufacturing jobs back home part of the "green" strategy?

It often is. Then you have the coal/gas lobbies fighting against it, as well as any and every politician whose constituency includes jobs in these industries. Germany used to subsidise solar, then it stopped, which wiped out the solar industry in Germany overnight. It's no different in the US. This isn't a problem with environmentalism, it's a problem with nascent industries fighting change with tooth and nail. And paying the media to convince people like you that it's the environmentalists' fault.

Do you even remember what the infrastructure bill recently in the US even did to invest in green energy and manufacturing/jobs for green energy?

Stop falling for it. Stop falling for the lies and propaganda. There are people trying to make real change for the better, and they're not the ones fighting against green energy. Why aren't you able to recognize it?

Is there anything like this for Windows?

Honestly, I find the comments on HN to be generally more right-leaning and neo liberal than on Reddit. It's very weird and very frustrating, especially when today the right means things like denying healthcare to people and taking away womens' rights.

Have you lost a loved one because health insurance refused or delayed payment for treatment? I can't take you seriously when you say the system isn't that broken when I see people sharing their experiences of how people died and suffered unnecessarily because some health insurance company fought them on it. How is that not insanely broken?

Here in Germany, I've never had to worry about whether my healthcare would pay my treatment when I've had to go to the hospital and had to be operated on. The idea that this is possible in other countries is unfathomable to me. I didn't choose to have whatever illness I might have. My doctor decided the best way to treat my illness. Why does some third party get to decide "but nah bro, it can't be that bad, let's just wait and see how the patient does in a week or two". Why can they override what a doctor thinks is best?

And why are there people like you who thinks "it's not that bad/broken".

Is it just me or does this sound like a terrible bill? I've gone through the page and it just sounds like it was trying to save money by making healthcare beneficiaries worse off.

iOS has always isolated apps from your data. Android has isolated apps from your data more and more with previous Android versions where I think they're finally on a similar level to iOS (where an app doesn't just have full access to your local storage by default and also isn't able to request access to sensitive directories).

I'm sure they were very worried about their patients.

> That could only be strange for him if he doesn't understand the structure of the war or he hasn't been following current events.

Maybe he doesn't. There's nothing wrong with that. It feels surreal to me and like it came out of nowhere.

I'm also sort of frustrated that none of the coverage or comments I see go into how this happened or what lead to it. Nobody is trying to figure out or explain what's actually going on and why now.

Germany is IBM. Existing industries are too valuable and influential, and shifting something as entrenched as German auto industries is an expensive, difficult endeavour that isn't immediately as profitable as the existing business.

At least maybe we'll get to stick around as business consultants and selling mainframes to a handful of companies convinced by "nobody was ever fired for buying German".

When there is no justice for the people who have to suffer and/or die due to the callousness of management at health insurance companies like this, then I don't see another option. Suing doesn't do any good. The government can't or won't do anything. Nobody cares if you're denied life-saving care, or if it's delayed until it's too late. Until now, there were never any consequences. They have a captive market where all the competitors behave the same way at the expense of people who need health care.

Seems plausible to me. The efficiency cores seem to be clocked quite a bit lower.

I don't understand how a country like Belgium could possibly only score a 67%.

I wonder if the plot would look similar if you disabled hyperthreading but kept the same number of workers.

I thought it was funny.
