Culturally, the Japanese aren't likely to care. Take a look at Linux usage in Japan to get what I mean. You will have a small but very dedicated group of users who won't change for anything, and then the masses who just use what is convenient. They don't like tweaking.
Absolutely would not be a good candidate for a gov service in the US. Imagine the politicization currently applied to the Postal Service, but on the scale of everyone's email?
The postal service is a federal service. If email offerings were, say, a municipal service, it seems like the Feds would have a much harder time regulating it. The federal government in the US can certainly put pressure on municipalities, but it wouldn't be compulsory - for example, university emails don't need to be used as a primary email except for specific, university-related circumstances.
This argument could easily be extended to private businesses. The government has the capability of putting pressure on private entities to compel them to treat email in certain ways. The rule of law prevents such things, and I don't really want to start a thread about how the current administration has no regard for the rule of law.
Furthermore, not everywhere is the US. Why hasn't Germany done this? Or Australia? Or Singapore?
It's insane numbers like that that give me some concern for a bubble. Not because AI hits some dead end, but due to a plateau that shifts from aggressive investment to passive-but-steady improvement.
Most people don't really care all that much about the distinction. It comes across to them as linguistic pedantry and they downvote it to show they don't want to hear/read it.
Could very well be his intention. Justifies killing it without admitting to it as a failure of Intel, instead it's a product without a buyer. No reason to keep it.
They could have developed a next gen cutting edge node in time but they just decided against it because it was not cool anymore. Instead they decide to do... what exactly? Milk the aging x86 cow with inferior architecture using the same fab as all your competitors? I guess it makes sense to slim intel down now into a company that can be acquired easily.
Instead of getting offended on behalf of others, why not just ask one of those rednecks how they actually feel? Seems kind of like you are being inflammatory under the guise of concern.
Well they helped me so I thought they were cool. I mean, my "prod it with a stick" would get it to go right down the middle of the road but not off to the edges, I wasn't brave enough to pick it up by the tail. Maybe I had this on my mind
You're fine. As one of those "rednecks" my problem wasn't with what you were saying, it's obvious it wasn't malicious in intent. The person who replied to you with their accusations of racism (??) was clout-seeking/rage-baiting at your expense and I call those kinds of people out in an instant.
