Excellent choice. Asus boards are the legit best.

Also, fruit chat - anything fresh and local is usually good. I love me some apples, peaches, melons, cherries - you loving name it. But wild blueberries, saskatoons, strawberries and raspberries trump everything. And if you haven't had chokecherry syrup, you are missing out on the best of life.

Yup mega agreedo. Here's my full list



I wasn't planning on getting the h110i but it's on sale for 99$ on corsair's website and with the hero board i can clock up to 4.8ghz safely so may as well

I work on super secret stuff and contrary to what Silicon Valley says we are at least 35 years away from fully autonomous cars and that's counting if we rebuild our entire infrastructure (we won't)

35 years sounds very wrong considering the rate of technology.

Think of where we were 35 years ago. watching tron and waiting in line for the commodore 64.

Consider the number of people that are in America with cars and the pace at which America is willing to upgrade infrastructure, then look at all the people who have very cheap cars and no way to afford a newer car which means there would have to be another Cash 4 Clunkers 2: Automatic Boogaloo

Obviously the parts will get cheaper but people will still refuse to switch for reasons

I discussed this at length in the EV thread, you're thinking too small, and thinking too traditionally.

When you're leaving from the same place and going to roughly the same place at the same time as 10 other people, you don't need your own car to pick up you drive you to wherever, and then drive hom to sit in your driveway. Ridesharing without a driver's wage and computer aided human logisitics should allow somebody to make near-instant point to point communal transportation cheaper than owning a car. Like you plug in the time you have to go to work and so does a bunch of people around you, and the vehicle network produces a short route for a ~10 passenger vehicle to collect people from your area and drop them in the same general area that they need to go.

It's not a coincidence that all the cars stuck in 2 hour traffic jams at rush hour are all traveling in the same direction. What's really preventing the consolidation of passengers into fewer vehicles to alleviate traffic is the requirement that somebody owns and drives the vehicle creating difficult questions of cost splitting, responsibility, and liability. Once it's a phone app in a commercial, automated vehicle, and cheaper than car ownership, people will migrate.

Oh yeah Mass Transit will hopefully get huge because of automation but I was speaking primarily about individual automobiles and the car culture that Americans have and perpetuate since so many Americans buy into the "you aren't a real man until you have a car" etc

Taxi companies in north america built their business on regulatory capture, and it's hilarious to see them panic as they lose their grip. For decades they've provided lovely service at a high price and used their control of government to prevent supply from ever meeting demand.

Uber's lovely driver treatment isn't the answer, but neither was the taxi company's sticky seats and 2 hour waits.

on the other hand Uber is a lovely company run by lovely people and I can't wait to watch it blow up

the tech will be around in the next 15 years, the cost will go down 15 years after that, and they'll finally give automated traffic their own lane five or ten years after that

I can't believe people are posting on the internet from their phone while sitting on the toilet talking about how slow technology is going to move.

there is a massive, massive different between developing hardware and software that accept commands and perform actions vs developing software that is supposed to resemble a human's thought process or accept 200 data inputs and be able to make a split second decision

like ya the CPUs are getting there or already there to be able to process it but getting software to do the same thing is a whole different level

Jebus, those insurance premiums and deductibles. Everyone in my company bitches about the current health plan, because the premiums keep going up, and so do the deductibles max OOP, but after seeing the stuff in the last page or two, I think I'm pretty happy with it.

$70/month premium, $800 deductible and approx $2000 max OOP (I forget the exact number, but it's near there). Standard doctor co-pay is $25 and specialist are $40. That's where the biggest percentage increases have happened, just 4 years ago it was $10/$20 for PCP/Specialist.

Ya same, though my wife works for a hospital and they actually do a good job of health insurance

Great news for Delta, as they cancelled something like 4,000 flights this weekend and hosed up a LOT of peoples travel plans. It was partially because of weather in Atlanta (I think). I ended up taking my mom to the airport 3 times over 2 days, and she spent the night in the airport waiting for flights.

So as Delta accumulates that sort of bad press, their competitor uses a brownshirt to eject a paying customer from a plane and loses 80 million dollars in value overnight. Pretty sweet timing!

That's 800mil$, not 80mil :getin:
