I don't think you're a silly billy. It's a legitimate thing to confuse, because they use the same words.

Ray casting and ray tracing used to be used interchangeably (see Wolfenstein 3D) until ray tracing became a different thing.

Mini computers used to refer to merely fridge sized computers.

I'm sure theres more examples

So if c is easier. Why are we using JavaScript???

Who is this 'we'?

The vast majority have this foisted upon them by a minority of managers/shareholders.

Technically it would depend on the colony.

The US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all ex colonies and all use the cent. I'm sure there are a few more, we did get around a bit.

True. The other side of 'fair' in this situation is what was the company earning.

Busting a gut to make some shareholders/managers loads of money isn't exactly fair if you aren't also being rewarded.

On the other hand, in the UK the NHS has traditionally paid people extra on the understanding that these things happen. But when it did happen the staff were asking for even more. I know this probably comes across as right wing, but my point is how we reward people for black swan events.

> Busting a gut to make some shareholders/managers loads of money isn't exactly fair if you aren't also being rewarded.

Exactly. But it's not a matter of “being paid more than the marginal value of the additional work” as microeconomics tend to frame those things.

Symmetrically, people routinely accept pay cut or degraded work conditions when the company isn't going well, even though it makes no sense from a game theory perspective (it's basically a prisoners' dilemma yet people cooperate most of the time).

By the same token, if the AM radio is receiving something other than AM, it isn't an AM radio.

Or we could just use words that are useful for communicating things.

Don't forget the trade war with the US.

Don't know why it took so long though. I knew they needed this when wikileaks was cut off from everything.

I'd rather have a tracker to show how close the Orange One is to his coveted Peace Prize.

He stole María Corina Machado‘s and has the much coveted one from FIFA too.

Am I the only one disappointed they didn't settle for 286 cores?

During the 8th gen they made an i7-8086... Hopefully Intel hasn't fired that person.

8086K, actually. I still run one inside one of my PCs!

I wonder if they can bin out ones that have a dead core or two specifically for this purpose.

At least you got the Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 386H :)

It's relevant because everyone is saying this is government censorship. The parent is pointing out it's the government in the same way as a HOA is. Ie not.
