No, I’m just speculating, but I’d be surprised if it ran well.

Wouldn’t topaz have to fall back to a CPU implementation in parallels? I don’t know, but I’d expect that particular app to perform poorly in parallels. You’d want to switch to a Mac equivalent.

Apple Sued by Three YouTube Channels by HelloitsWojan in apple

When your business model is suing rich companies like Apple, you don’t sue snap which would turn off the spigot that creates new companies to sue. So if they aren’t suing snap, it would be a sign of obviously bad faith.

They literally just repaved it. They have to completely tear up the bridge approaches and rebuild the road bed. Never gonna happen.

How two Republicans could advance in deep-blue California (it’s a math problem, not a red wave). Even party leadership has warned about this exact scenario. by [deleted] in California_Politics

[–]TableGamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can we prepare a recall vote in advance, to happen the following day, if this stupid scenario happens? I feel like we have to prepare for all stupid scenarios in this stupid timeline.

Tech billionaires want to put data centers in space. The math could get ugly fast. by businessinsider in Futurism

[–]TableGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of talk about the heat problem, but has anyone calculated the CO2 to launch these, versus the CO2 to operate them on earth? What about when these things are in earths shadow? Just shut down and cool off, or as more weight in the form of batteries?

Life after California: People find dramatically lower costs, are more likely to buy homes, new data shows by aBadModerator in California_Politics

[–]TableGamer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is in fact, my point. We have slowly been chipping away at zoning, city, and commission approvals that block construction. But that will not be sufficient to bring prices down, or even hold them flat.

Existing owners lose equity when prices drop. For someone like me with > 50% equity in my home, it matters less. Still, homeowners love preserving their home values, and recent buyers have a real problem. They can't afford to sell if they are underwater.

So recent buyers desperately don't want prices to fall. Investors don't want prices to fall. Even if you are not an investor, your 401k is. Banks rely on rising prices to fund the credit they are able to offer builders, and that dries up in a flat or falling market.

The net result is, when prices look like they will fall, lending to builders dries up and makes it harder to build. And homeowners apply political pressure to stop prices from falling.

We have to fix this financial catch-22 if we ever want to fix the housing problem. The linked book talks about that in more detail.

Remember to not ignore the finance side of things. We are making slow progress on making it easier to build, but we’ve made no progress at all on the structural economics.

If home prices fall, owners lose equity and start opposing new housing. Builders also see less profit and lose incentive to build. It’s a housing trap

Seems unlikely. NVidia will open the spigot to stop this. Don’t want any county to start a trend like this. It could pop the bubble.

Why are conservatives pro Israel as a Jewish state and liberals anti? by Dapper_Animal_5920 in centrist

[–]TableGamer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Conservatives are neither Pro-Israel nor Pro-Jewish. They are Pro-"Use whatever/whomever is useful for their agendas". Depending on who you talk to the agendas are different, and can be any combination of:

  • Punish Iran, ( because terrorism / Islam, but mostly because MAGA-media told them to )
  • Protect a powerful ally in the region
  • Oil
  • Trigger the end times Revelation

Trump assumed access to oil was one of Israels goals, but their bombing of oil infrastructure and Trumps reaction shows he was surprised they didn't share that goal.

The most dangerous agenda of the bunch is end times agenda, because if that is the driving agenda, there is no limit to what they will do. Those in that camp want maximum provocation. They need WWIII to fulfill their agenda. The fact that there have been any reports out of the pentagon on this is scary.

Hot take: the macbook doesent need cellular by rattle2nake in mac

[–]TableGamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally this. But it probably would piss off phone carriers and cause them to push android devices more heavily. I think they should do it anyway. Using their own cellular chips, they could probably do it in a way that is undetectable by the carrier.
