It's the price they're going to be offering to the general public to buy ahead of time, through their brokers. They get that price locked in, then once it starts trading it moves as it may. Usually the IPO buyers are not allowed to sell for some time

12GB GPU is insufficient for most purposes yes. Even 16GB is a notable improvement, but yes 32GB cards such as the 5090 or R9700 are a world of difference.

CPUs may run hotter but they have so much more protection. You can even power on and boot a modern Ryzen without even having a heatsink attached and it will not only survive, it will actually go in the BIOS and work for a while! One of these Socket A Athlons would be dead in a microsecond of having pushed the power button if you forgot to put on a heatsink. The Intel PIIIs of the time I believe were one of the first to implement thermal throttling and would crash but probably survive.

They absolutely do! Not all the way, but if you'd have smoked a pack a day for 15 years and then have given up for the last 15, there's absolutely no way you'd be saying this!

Absolutely crazy that these CVE-ridden CoDs are being sold by Microsoft itself!

A scenario explored in the prescient and excellent TV show Person of Interest (2011). We're comfortably able to build The Machine and/or Samaritan by now.

> It's not like your brain can process each ear separately.

If you've ever seen a dance music DJ (Tomorrowland is streaming on Youtube right now!) - that's exactly what many of them do.

To DJ a continuous mix as is the norm for this style - generally you'll have headphones on, but only covering one ear. You'll listen to "currently playing" though your right ear, through the venue sound system (well, it's monitors). You'll also be listening to "up next", on the other record/cd/mp3 deck, through the headphones to your other ear. And you'll work the pitch slider, trim controls etc and hopefully produce a good mix!

Not everyone does it like this, some have the headphones permanently on and mix in stereo both tracks at both ears. Or split ears, headphones only - that is an option on the usual Pioneer mixers. But it's surely the most common mental image of a club DJ to have them holding their hand to their headphones on one ear only, I'm sure!

I love it! I discovered it'll switch to a 3 column view if I take the zoom to 200%, I'd maybe prefer it at less but it's a bit tricky to guess if that's true or not. Regardless, it's very nice. And infinite scroll for the hackernews feed is a bonus!

Maybe Google could come up with some fancy algorithm to give variable weight to the source pages, some sort of ranking system for pages on the web, instead of just assuming any random page contains 100% truth. Perhaps counting the tally of other pages on the web linking to this one might be one clue that this is a particularly highly ranked page? It would be quite the revolutionary idea!

I was wondering, so thank you!
