This article from Ars Technica talks a little bit about memristors and HP's plans for "The Machine". The original plan was for The Machine to demonstrate this technology, but HP ended up removing feature after feature (including memristor technology) before it's release. They quote John Sontag from HP in the article:
"The simplest way to think about it is this—take a DRAM DIMM out, and put a memristor DIMM in,” said Sontag. “You now have another pool of memory that’s denser and nonvolatile. It’s a new class of memory—the consequence for operating systems is that moving stuff around from I/O devices [to and from disk] becomes unnecessary."
But what they watered it down to (and not delivered on that either) seems to be roughly equivalent to that fancy flash memory you can buy now for the new intel chipsets.
It's unclear to me if the problem was a lack of vision on the part of HP or if the technology they came up with has fundamental problems that prevent it from being practical. Either one seems plausible.
they aren't socialist. they have large welfare systems but little government ownership of private enterprise. they are generally also high in democracy, 60% of taxes are raised and spent at local level rather than national, which is the opposite of socialist governments who prefer central control
lol #notrealsocialism.
the basic course of all socialist systems is
1 : praise as it does well at first
2 : accusations of external influences when it starts failing
3 : #notrealsocialism
Literally for decades people have been predicting average IQ scores would drop due to social/genetic factors. It's evidence of a successful theory. Society should stop pandering to the lowest common denominator and allow gifted students to excel in separate environments
He was captured by a rival tribe, smuggled into the country illegally, freed by the victorious force and the first thing he can think of is compensation. not from his owners, or original tribe, but the now government that fought for his freedom?
What makes you assume that the first thing he can think of is compensation?
It looks like what they first thought of was to find a place to live, and to try to go back home.
Regarding compensation:
What makes you think that he did not ask for compensation from his owners?
If you read a bit more you will see that they did ask their former owners for compensation indeed.
"Because Cudjo “always talkee good,” the Africans selected him to approach their former owners and ask for land in exchange for their years of free labor."
Policies of equality of outcomes are inherently discriminatory. If black people are positively discriminated for then asians are being negatively discriminated against. Since spaces in college are limited when you give one space to someone you take it away from another.
the doctrine of equality of outcomes is evil which is what article is trying to achieve. being successful is not a crime or morally wrong as much as the likes of sanders/corbyn like to fantasise that it is. the fact that one person can handle a fine easier than another is no more consequential that the fact one can run faster than another.
