  • That’s a weird thing to say, since top Mediatek for a couple of recent generations were actually more powerful than top Qualcomm, including on graphics.
    Qualcomm typically has an edge on efficiency, but it’s only an edge, not like they are in different leagues, and MediaTek is absolutely a great option if you want a high end very powerful phone.
    IMO it’s by far the best (only really good) place to save cost if you want to make a flagship killer, and at half the price it ought to be a no-brainer.

    HOWEVER!
    After actually reading the article:

    with unit pricing expected to range between $180 and $200. In contrast, Qualcomm’s latest premium SoC reportedly costs smartphone manufacturers as much as $280

    The 180-200 price is repeated in the table shown. <so how is 180 less than half of 280?
    Seems to me more like a saving of 36%.


  • I 100% dress for others, I don’t really care about clothing, and I hate to buy new clothes. I only do it because I think I may be nearing some limit of what is considered decent to wear in the presence of other people, who 100% always are better dressed than me.

    The other day I was at the supermarket, and had seen they had a special offer on “plaice” I think it’s called.
    Well the special offer was sold out, and I asked an employee if they had anymore.
    The employee was extremely nice, and asked how many I had planned to buy? And I said 2, then he took 2 bags that had 50% more content, and wrote the price of the special offer on them, and said I should just mention his name at the register.
    I though Wow that stellar service, and it was only when I came home I realized I had some of my worst pants on that are so warn they had holes in them.
    I have newer pants, but I don’t like them, because they have no sway and they are some sort of stretch material to be tight, and I absolutely hate that. And I also hate shopping for clothes.

    Anyways because my clothes are (to put it mildly) sub par for normal people, I figured he probably thought I was some sort of destitute.

    I am married, and our economy is absolutely fine, we own an almost paid out house, and we have a car that was bought cash without borrowing, and we have a good amount of money in the bank.

    Anyways I don’t care, maybe because I don’t have to. I just want clothes that are comfortable.












  • Your question seems mostly nonsensical, we are not “house trained”, and what do you mean by “rather than controlled”?
    Is your question based on biblical or another form of faith?

    But in short regarding our social behavior, the principle of it is not very different from social behaviors of other group animals like dogs or chimpanzees. We “behave” because we are social animals and it’s in our DNA to work for the benefit of the the group.
    Obviously misbehavior is generally rooted in conflict of interests, which can naturally occur in all groups. They are absolutely not generally a result of mania. Psychological illness is not a very significant driver for what you seem to consider “primitive” or criminal behavior.

    That still doesn’t mean 30 was the maximum possible age for humans 30,000 years ago.

    Yes actually it does, above 30 would be an outlier.
    Of course genetically they had about the same potential as modern people, but life was simply too harsh for people to survive above 30. The struggle to survive meant they were simply worn out at that point.
    We see this even today in nomadic tribes in the rain forest of South America.
