The difference is that with GPUs nearly every model has a different layout of components around the actual chip, and those components need to be cooled too, so making a universal cold plate for them can be really challenging. The AIO I bought for my last computer could be used with any CPU, AMD or Intel, released in the past decade. The water block I bought for the GPU I put in my desktop two computers ago could only be used with reference designs of the AMD R9 290 or 290x.

There are models of GPUs with AIOs, EVGA makes their Hydro series, Gigabyte has their waterforce series. They just usually aren't worth the cost since you have to design a new full cover block not just got every generation but also usually for different cards in the same gen too.

Lastly, TDP is not a defined standard and each manufacturer defines it differently. Intel for example defines TDP as the maximum allowable power draw under full load. How that translates to actual heat output depends on architecture and process node. Intel's most recent chips for example all max out at just over 100 watts TDP, but they're known to need 200+ watts of heat dissipation for sustained workloads.

There is a world of difference between what you imagine and creating a digital likeness of someone else, that will almost certainly then be distributed. Comparing the to and comparing the banning of them to thought crimes is incredibly dishonest. And yes, people do have a right to their image and likeness, those rights are protected by law.

Then maybe Facebook and Google should be taken more effort to prevent this content from making it on their platforms. How is it happening more often elsewhere a justification for it to happen here?

How does this have anything to do with REAL rape and REAL stolen video and images being uploaded NOW? Just because you can theoretically, in the future, make a fake video of someone having sex doesn't mean it's in any way justifiable to allow actual video of real violent crimes on your platform now. And even when this future does happen, do people no longer have a right to their own image and likeness? Is it okay simply because it's fake?

You're awfully confident for someone who has provided no additional evidence.

The OP claims the high CPU usage went after uninstalling chrome and rebooting their machine.

Rebooting their machine.

The thing we tell everyone to as the absolute first step in trying to solve any problem with a computer, "have you tried turning it off and on again?".

This isn't proof that chrome or keystone or anything at all caused the problem. We have nothing to determine the root cause.

How do you pay your bills? If running those websites were your full time job, would you still be okay not making any money off of them? Or have you just decided that only people who have other income should have websites?

unless you make a conscious effort to select your dataset to avoid that bias sure. You don't have to give the algorithm ALL of your hiring data. Balance the data you train it on to avoid the bias.

It obviously depends on the algorithm but if you train your hiring algorithm based on past hires, and your company has predominantly hired males in the past, your going to end up preselecting males. algorithms aren't bias in themselves but if you want to avoid biased results you have to be very careful on the data sets you use to train them with.

Dead is probably too strong but it is pretty telling of Apple's internal thoughts on the feature that they would leave it off a new phone

Make it three, mostly because the wifi card in my laptop was a nightmare to get working in linux

I have a trackpad for gestures on my left and a mouse for point and click on my right. I am certifiably weird.

Probably has something to do with that ongoing lawsuit with oracle

you don't pay corporate taxes with a pass through LLC. You deduct your expenses from your income, and the rest gets passed through the LLC to you as personal income. So you're getting taxed on less because you can essentially write off any expense that you can justify as being spent on the corporation itself.

The downside is, usually, that you get taxed on ALL profits personally no matter how much you actually withdraw from the LLC but if you are the only member and you're just using it for tax purposes that's less of an issue since you intend to take all the money anyway.

Disclaimer, I am not a tax professional, and I do not actually do the taxes/distributions for the LLC I part won. This is just how it was explained to me by the person who actually does those taxes.

The lockbox was for the packages themselves, not for the keys to the house.

I found an old laptop I hadn't used in about 3 years, fired it up and quipped to my friends "Hah, this thing is so old it's still running the beta of ST3!"
