Trump approves sending more forces to the Middle East amid tensions with Iran

Trump's projection tells us more about him than it does about those he's accusing:

"In order to get elected, @BarackObama will start a war with Iran." - Donald Trump, 1:48 PM - Nov 29, 2011

"Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate." - Donald Trump, 3:39 PM - Oct 9, 2012

"I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face!" - Donald Trump, 2:23 PM - 16 Sep 2013

あなたが理解していないという理由だけで、これはそれが重要ではないという意味ではありません。

And to repeat:
Ακριβώς επειδή δεν καταλαβαίνετε, αυτό δεν σημαίνει ότι δεν είναι σημαντικό.

SN eds are monolingual morons, except for mrpg, who groks the espanol, and pico français.

And the expat speaks!

We're sorry, your submission "Anti-Semitism doesn’t happen in a vacuum | (Revised, for your consideration)" was declined for the following reason:
You say that we are destroying this site - it is YOU and the drivel that you write that is achieving that. Advocating violence - even when you claim that you are not doing so - has no place on this site.--JR

The editors felt it inappropriate for them to correct the issue themselves. Please feel free to correct the issue yourself and resubmit.

So now resubmission is violence? Good to know. Venez voir la violence inhérente au système! Je suis en train d'être réprimé! C'est ce dont je parle!

So sad, Brits having to retire in France just to get health insurance, and they don't even bother to speak the langue! Mon dieu!

Update (not really)
Cheers to Eds! Five submissions in less than an hour, and all rejected within the same hour, lest any Soylents might chance to see them in the queue. I guess I should post all of them here, but I let stand the exquisite censorship of the Editors of SoylentNews, who will have to live with the reputation that follows them accross the infinite expanse of internet time, which, mind you, is only just beginning.

And now, at the end, you realize the true power of the dark side, the side of truth, the side of philosophers, the side of actual people and not confabulated "rational maximizers" of something they know not what.
I submitted, per request, a Russian sub, as mrpg asked for, and it was rejected as well. Bad enough that subs in French, German, Norsk, Greek, Hollandaise, and Romanian get rejected. Could not one American have enough education to read a sub in Spanish? Or Canadian? Oh, the illiteral horror!
Original Ruski Sub here.
This will come back to stick Americans up their backsides.
Already nationals of any nation can make fun of US Americans without their having any idea they are talking about locos americanos or Américains fous, or сумасшедшие американцы.

Trump administration prepares to release Central American migrants 'across the entire nation'

The Trump administration is preparing to send Central American migrants caught along the southern border to Border Patrol stations "across the entire nation," according to a senior Border Patrol official who confirmed the plans Friday.

With more than 4,500 people being caught each day crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, the agency has run out of room at its Border Patrol facilities in the four border states. The agency has started looking at its facilities around the country, which are mostly along the northern border with Canada and coastal states.

That means states from Oregon to North Dakota to Maine may begin receiving planeloads of migrant families in the weeks to come. On Tuesday, Customs and Border Protection sent its first plane full of migrants from Texas to San Diego.

Taiwan Legislature Approves Asia’s First Same-Sex Marriage Law

Taiwan gay marriage: Parliament legalises same-sex unions

Previously: Taiwanese Court Invalidates Ban on Same-Sex Marriage

Hey! Going to limit to friends and friends of friends, just to see what happens. No Runaway posts, I take it. But here is the deal. Softball submission, about dogs, which janrinok more or less requested. And, of course, rejected. I despair that we Soylentils may have a rational discussion on the issues of the day, if even dog posts are banned, censored, and deep-sixed by the editors. I begin to suspect chromas, who may be a beard for Ncommander, our founder and alt-right syncophant? Perhaps. Maybe the game has been rigged from the beginning.

Or, the editors are all cat-people. We could have had This fine Submission about a dog sucked into the alt-right. But, rejected without comment, message, and not even left in the queue for more than a couple hours. Censorship, of dogs! This aggression will not stand, man! Peed on my rug.

A CNBC analysis of data from the Treasury Department ranks the combined $72 billion in revenue from all the president’s tariffs as one of the biggest tax increases since 1993. In fact, the tariff revenue ranks as the largest increase as a percent of GDP since 1993 when compared with the first year of all the revenue measures enacted since then, according to the data.

Trump’s tariffs are equivalent to one of the largest tax increases in decades

And about that massive welfare program he's setting up for farmer bailouts? $62 MILLION went to Brazilian criminals:

Trump administration showers Brazilian crooks with $62M bailout money meant for struggling U.S. farmers

Remember when tax hikes, welfare, bailouts and criminals were bad?

Samsung Samples 32 Gb DDR4 Memory Chips

JEDEC’s DDR4 specification only describes 4 Gb, 8Gb, and 16 Gb memory devices. As a result, DRAM makers have to use advanced packaging techniques to build chips for high-capacity memory modules for servers or workstations. DDPs are not something particularly new, but 32 Gb DDR4-2666 DDPs are unique to Samsung.

[...] Samsung does not disclose pricing of its 32 Gb DDR4-2666 DDPs, but it is obvious that they will be sold at a premium given the fact that they are only available from Samsung and they are harder to build than SDPs.

The expensive way to double capacity.

The canceling of James Charles: Beauty YouTuber loses 3 million subscribers in a weekend

One video led to YouTube’s biggest makeup vlogger losing millions of subscribers

That's apparently the largest/fastest loss of subscribers in YouTube history.

Funny memes aside, if you look into the circumstances more closely, James Charles got called out for promoting a company's gummy vitamin formulated for sleep (melatonin and other junk) instead of his friend Tati Westbrook's vitamin product. But Tati Westbrook doesn't sell any sleep vitamin products (they are intended for hair/nails and skin). So the whole feud is built on a misunderstanding or deliberate misrepresentation. As for catfishing/trying to turn guys gay, Tati Westbrook kept those allegations under wraps and only decided to bring them up after complaining about a stupid product promotion (or more accurately, her own stupid product not being promoted by her "friend").

That isn't to say that James Charles isn't necessarily a scumbag and scam artist selling overpriced junk and $500 fan meetup tickets. But the recent cancelling of YouTuber "ProJared" (NSFW) is much more clear cut.

Milan - The Next Frontier? (22m28s)

Notes from SemiAccurate's CC with Susquehanna this morning

Various sources said things like "Milan will have 80 cores" or "Milan will have 15 chiplets".

The speculation, based on sources and other reasoning, is that the the 8-core chiplet will continue to be used going forward. They have great yields compared to bigger monolithic chips and AMD can simply make them smaller in size rather than boost core count of each to 10-12 cores. Zen 2 Epyc uses eight 8-core chiplets for up to 64 total cores, and a future version could use ten chiplets to get to 80 cores.

AMD and Cray will make a 1.5 exaflops supercomputer.

In fact while AMD has kept the details on the technology light, it sounds like this version of [Infinity Fabric] will be the most advanced version yet. AMD is specifically noting that it’s an “incredibly” coherent fabric, calling it the first fully optimized CPU + GPU design for supercomputing. AMD’s GPUs and CPUs will be arranged in a 4-to-1 ratio, with 4 GPUs for each EPYC CPU. It’s worth noting that AMD’s slide shows a mesh with every GPU connected to the CPU and two other GPUs, but I’m not reading too much into this quite yet, as AMD hasn’t disclosed any other details on the IF setup.

Design and Analysis of an APU for Exascale Computing

AMD may try to do something like create a server/HPC APU that consists of ten 8-core CPU chiplets, four GPU chiplets(?), and the I/O chiplet, with DRAM/HBM stacked on top of the I/O die which emits less heat.

If the GPU thing is a red herring but Milan does have 14 CPU chiplets + 1 I/O chiplet, that's a whopping 112 cores. Even if clock speeds regressed a bit, it could offer more multithreaded performance per dollar than predecessors.
