You're probably describing capitalism with social welfare/safety nets. Whereas often socialism is considered to be specifically not capitalism and may not allow for the idea of working to get more resources

Fundamentally you're probably happy with capitalism in terms of economy but want further govt regulation/welfare. Which I think is probably the best system we have

The point being that if company A cuts their price to compete, and company B has an artificially inflated price

Now we have company B with no sales, and are forced to match or beat their competitor

Repeat until the price is fair. This breaks if both companies are co-ordinating with each other and forcing all other competition in line. But that's a crime and would be regulated

Who are you paying? Other owners of the apartment? So they put in extra up front so they can rent to you? If so do you get to pay back their initial investment over time? If it's non profit does that mean they can't take anything in excess of what they paid or do they get payed x amount over the top?

I'm fine with co-ops generally but when it comes to rentals I just don't see how you'd make a "not for profit" rental But I mean if someone wants to set one up and prove me wrong that'd be cool. In theory nothing is stopping them

I'm not sure I'd agree that corporate ownership is necessarily bad If you want to rent an apartment because you don't want to buy into a co-op then how do you go about this? Someone needs to own the apartment to rent to you Personally I don't mind if that initial investment comes from a person or a corporation

The incentive here would be that a new company could sell far more fridges when reasonably prices compared to their competitors and take all of their market share

But yes of course govt regulation is required when there is actual price fixing going on. I'd also like to know the alternative way of pricing goods/services from people with the alternate view

This feels like a lot of hoops to avoid reading a wiki page thoroughly But if you want to use gpt this may work

What's your new work flow? Always interested to see alternatives And if they're open source could maybe be polished up a bit

Probably because it hadn't been an issue until recently Strange times indeed

Potentially suggests, but does not prove And I'm quite skeptical they they truly have an example of a game that is running 100% on all 8 cores, high maybe but 100%?

I'm a software engineer. And yes multithreading is difficult, just slapping on async isn't necessarily going to help you run code in parallel

Think about the workload a game is using, you have to do most calcs on a frame by frame basis and you tend to want effects to apply in order. So you have a hard time running in parallel as the state for frame 1 needs to be calculated before frame 2. And within frame 1 any number of scripts can rely on the results of another, so you can't just throw threads at the problem You can do some things like the sound system but beyond that it's not trivial

You'd need to look at the actual implementation, it's hard to speculate from a tiny amount of data. What game are you referencing?

And as someone who has done multi threaded programming I can tell you that for games it is unlikely that they can just add more cores. You need work that truly can be split up, meaning that each core doesn't needs work to do that doesn't rely on the results from another core

Graphics rendering is easy for this and it's why gpus have a crazy number of cores. But you aren't going to do graphics compute on the cpu

Fun fact for you. Modern firearms haven't used black powder for a very long time, that's why when people fire rifles you don't see huge clouds of smoke

There are also many kinds of gunpowder, rifles use different powders to say shotguns or pistols. Although often times shotgun and pistol ammunition uses the same class of powder (slower burn rate iirc)

They likely make him pledge something as collateral. I doubt they're just giving him unsecured loans just for fun

This is a terrible form of analysis Why would you show these assets in terms of an absolute number? The ngs analysis showed that 3.5% of their assets fell under the fossil fuel category, and some of those companies operate in other areas

If you want to get mad at super funds go ahead but I don't know what you want them to do? If you go fully renewable instantly you're not going to be as attractive as an option, meaning even less people investing in renewable super. Meaning potentially less investment in that space

I don't really get this. Swap and go gas cylinders have existed for ages. You buy the bottle initially, and then it costs x amount to swap for a full one. And when it reaches its expiry its replaced by the company doing the swapping

Battery degradation just needs to be factored in to the cost of the swap

Maybe they just haven't cooled him down enough

I played sniper elite v2 twice. Once on the hard difficulty. And then the third time around I found out the scopes have variable zoom...
