Yes it is possible and is certainly the case.
There is one more pascal chip to be released to gamers (edit: one more "larger" chip) (1080Ti/Titan). AMD has 2 more chips to release bigger than this Pascal (Hawaii and Fury replacement - Rx 490 and Fury 2 if you will).
For the few that insist on...
I don't understand the negativity, but I suppose I rarely do.
There are usually 4 or so chips (sometimes more if notebooks get their own dedicated parts) in a full generational lineup, we have known for some time that this would be the case for AMD with polaris and vega (a big and small of...

Also, I'm glad my physics degree allowed me to solve the question correctly (using momentum conservation)... even if I'm way too late to the party to be helpful.
It is more complicated here in Canada. You can't just randomly test people as a condition of employment (Supreme court ruling 2013 - RE:Irving Pulp and Paper Ltd.). Though it varies by province.
It is considered a medical test, which is only permitted for positions where health may affect the...
My employer (more a customer who is purchasing our services) is trying to do away with business class flights!!
There is no way I am flying to China (from Toronto) in the cattle car! I'd rather die!!! (or stay home, whichever)
That is elevated, though not scary at all.
Over a year the natural background would give you about 2mSv (depends on where you live) or 0.22uSv/h.
My yearly maximum allowed by law over the background (in canada as a nuclear worker) is 20mSv (technically this is the 5 year max divided by 5...
Oh man, I had lots of those when I was a kid.
I was a strange child... Played with them along side transformers and GI-Joe. General Hawk would occasionally ride the black bear into battle, scaled well with the early-mid 90's GI-Joe toys... lol
I played with them though, and they look rough...
Good show so far.
A few cringes at the expected violence.
As far as the historical accuracy. Well, it is a drama show, first and foremost.I try to ignore the fact that it really is quite 'loosely' based on reality.
You are correct about the neutrinos. The lag is expected due to how we expect the collapse to occur. Photons interact far more on the way out, thus escape the star only after the rebounding shock wave reaches the surface.
That article is talking about a second neutron pulse that occurred even...
Shrug,
Seemed pretty tricky on the last few. Very arbitrary patterns, I guess that is the point. It gave me 130, but I left a lot of time on the table.
March 17th I board a plane bound for Shanghai in the morning. Maybe business class will get green beer? No party for me though :(, just a month of work.
I make 70K base, with 10-20k(ish) a year in extra per-diems, overtime, and travel pay. Not counting benefits and pension.
Non destructive testing inspection and R&D in the nuclear industry. I work at one of Canada's national labs (out in the boonies) where my fluffy government job title is...
This is not technically true.
Mostly all of our information about stochastic effects of radiation (your long term statistical risk factors, such as increased chance of cancer) is based on huge acute doses (epidemiological studies on atomic bomb survivors and radiation treatment recipients)...
Isn't it soo cool?
I know I'm a dweeb. The guy with the magic eyes on his wall at work. I'm sad that it didin't work on me. I love the WOW moments when illusions flip.
It almost never happens that stuff like this hits the limelight. I look forward to more professionally done illusions because...
The 'true colour' (from paint or whatever) doesn't really matter. That is the fun.
Some folks minds are interpreting that colour as being from the surroundings, the illumination, the shadowing. Thus they are ignoring it when the image is presented to the conscious mind. It appears white to...
I posted the exact illusion...
It is a bad picture and bad lighting. But that is the whole illusion, that is what causes the illusion. It is not a magic dress. The picture is just shot in such a way as to cause some people to interpret the colours 'wrong'.
Semantics I suppose. you can say...
It would be very difficult to construct a shirt that was context independent in its fun illusions.
I am not the person to be asking that question too. I studied optics and have a collection of illusions. I understand that many people don't get that our view of the world is subjective and...
It's an optical illusion. It has less to do with the actual photon proportions (the 'true colour') and more to do with how our brain interprets it. Colour is subjective in many cases, and can be affected greatly by context and lighting. Our minds try to filter out the affects of lighting and so...
This is the best part for me. How hilariously self centered and arrogant people are. I experience life in this way therefor that is the only way life can be experienced correctly.
Applies to so many things in the world; politics, science, health, sports, etc. But it takes a silly picture to...
I bought my brother the zotac 970 pictured above for Christmas.
It is quite quiet during gaming and so far it has remained quite cool (when I installed it and tested it it was peaking in the low 70s during short gaming and was not audible , especially compared to his old 6950). This is...
The other day a coworker was telling me about a device their kid (well, grown up now) saw in a snow bank outside of a busy retirement home.
Now they are not all that tech savvy, but the description "a box with blinking lights on it and a wire up to something on a telephone pole" immediately...
You are correct. It was a bit of a stretch and certainly an emotional response, not a rational one.
Though I think that in this day and age believing that tripe requires irrational hatred or dislike it is not necessarily evidence of the hatred or dislike.
Of course I don't, but you hear stories like that frequently enough from women in the field. It may not be utterly common but happening once is too much. It was all over the news last summer that almost a quarter of women in the field have suffered sexual assault during work, and 2/3 harassment...
P&N is over there <---
I can't fathom that someone could seriously be this sexist in 2015. Edit: in light of sleeping on it, others are right that using mysogonistic to describe ignorance like that isn't correct. Mind numbing it may be, he never said anything that requires hatred of women for...

But cool stuff. The stack of physics books from undergrad that are largely no longer relevant grows every year (well, its not like optics changes but boy are the semiconductor examples hilarious now) :)
I always new us Canadians had a great...
These programs are not about (at least at intelligent companies) putting mandated numbers of particular minorities into positions of technical skill.
They are about making the field you do business in more attractive to those highly intelligent groups that currently choose not to follow that...
The human condition, summed up so concisely.
I admit that I read all of them, and loved the world and story so much I basically skim and ignore most of the literary failings. High literature it is not, but I've never read a series that better fosters fun escapism. It is after all supposed to be...
As far as I'm concerned vacation is part of the pay and anything you earn you should get. That is a legal requirement around here (at least to a minimum).
The last time I left a job there was not even a debate with HR. I got a cheque with my last weeks pay and a buy out of all of my vacation.
Huh,
I knew there were certain things you could buy in the USA that you can't get here in Canada but I didn't realize how different the regulations were.
They are quite strictly regulated here, requiring both a manufacturing/import license and a product license for (legal) sale granted only...

That comic hangs on my wall at work for me to point to when someone gets pedantic (i.e. several times a day)
I assume that anyone who doesnt realise 3(4+5) is (usually) short hand for (3*(4+5)) and not 3*(4+5) has never studied physics :)
My grade 5 teacher...
wait wait wait. Hackers prevented another Seth Rogen film from being released and we are upset?
I'm afraid I don't understand. Could someone explain how this is bad using paint and smaller words maybe?
There is a wee bit of a difference between hunting a rabbit and, allegedly, killing someone's pet rabbit out of spite, and then threatening them with the same fate...
