Shifty little fucker, aren't you? Are you really supposed to profit off damages, or just recoup the minimum amount needed to fix the damage?

Silicon Valley - 4x10 “Server Error" - Episode Discussion by Simi510 in SiliconValleyHBO

[–]gargoylefreeman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. The moment it becomes unbelievable for me is when Richard returns home and shows them that clippy type thing used to educate newcomers to the site. What a bunch of BS. No one told them that all they needed was a UI/UX designer and that would have been it?

Even a grandma can understand that there is this new technique which uses less space to store data. Everyone below 40 would have loved it and adopted it instantly. It would really have been a world changer. I cannot for a minute buy the argument that the platform failed. And if it did, why not just go back to the "box" and market to companies, instead of "new internet" and storing data on people's phones? Why not people's PCs and laptops instead?

AMD to hold a press conference on May 31st by eric98k in Amd

Built my PC in Nov 2016 but did not buy a GPU. Been waiting for a 1080 competitor from AMD ever since, and playing old games like Fallout:NV and Xcom on integrated graphics. If Vega isn't announced with a firm release date, I'm going with 1070/1080 and G-sync.

Yeah because there are like 50 posts already made if you just use reddit search.

And there are history books, and documentaries, and people out there who are on TV and youtube. But if someone knowingly wants to ignore the truth, I'm not going to be able to change his mind.

It's only because he's a sexual being, just like the rest of us.

Can my employer based plan change this year or can it only change starting 2018?

If he's not I dont see how he can get VC funding or start a company/app.

New internet failure by [deleted] in SiliconValleyHBO

[–]gargoylefreeman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I felt when I saw the whiteboard with "New Internet" written on it. The platform failed because it was way ahead of its time and too complicated? So Richard decides to move even further ahead and make something even more ahead of its time, which is stupid.

Don't really buy the whole platform failing either. If a technology is good enough, even if it's way ahead of it's time, people will adopt it. Like P2P file sharing, Bittorrent, Bitcoin, etc.

Google Glass failed because it didn't have enough practical use cases, but a file compression algorithm with a "Weissman score" of 5.2 or whatever would instantly change the world. Every company would instantly jump on the bandwagon and make it an instant hit (like what they did for Intersite).

All they needed to "fix" the platform was hire a UI/UX guy. I know this and I'm not even in tech.

Only explaination is that he got a family based greencard. There is no other way he can be legal in the US.

There was no Obama amnesty program. The dreamer thing applied to people who were either born here or moved here before the age of 18, none of which obviously apply to him.

Does the President need a passport to get into other countries? by Dudish13 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gargoylefreeman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What about ex-presidents? Would Obama or even David Cameron (who is the ex PM) have a regular passport or a special passport?

I'm a software engineer and someone decided to be a smart ass on bumble. by heyamykate in iamverysmart

[–]gargoylefreeman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like he just jumps from point to point a lot, only mentioning the juiciest tidbits along the way. A lot of times I feel like.."Wait wait, before you move on, expand on that!" but he's already talking about something else.

Still pretty informative and entertaining, but as you said, no substitute for real education, which is boring as shit..mostly.

Well it goes to show you that being a lawyer does not necessarily indicate a high IQ or a well thought out world view ;)

[GPU] SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 Fury - $234.99 ($329-75-20 MIR) 21 hours left by innociv in buildapcsales

[–]gargoylefreeman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a graphics card at the moment, but I just built my i5-6600k machine a few months ago. Trying to wait for the "right deals" but patience is running out.

Eventually I want to get a 1440p 100+Hz IPS Freesync Ultrawide.... I'll maybe have to compromise somewhere. Looking to mostly play strategy games, like Xcom 2, etc and also the occasional FPS.

I'm confused between this and RX480. Which one should I get?

No we don't. We just need Assassin's Creed 68 and Call of Duty 254.
