Ha, that is interesting. I do UI work mostly in QML these days, and almost all of these issues are something I've dealt with. A couple of months ago, I used the gap between items with background showing through to implement grid lines in a calendar view. It lets the "spacing" property of the layout (and the GPU, more overdraw...) do the work.
I'm not sure how many pigs have had their intelligence evaluated. Most outliers probably go unnoticed. The experimental evidence seems to indicate that pigs are probably smarter than dogs.
People think that dogs are special because they have relationships with them. But that doesn't really make dogs special except as far as the relationship is concerned.
> I'm not sure how many pigs have had their intelligence evaluated.
The point is when intelligence of animals is evaluated like this, it's evaluated in very limited scopes, e.g. arithmetic abilities, mental time travel capabilities, abstract thinking capabilities, etc.
To generalize the results from one limited scope test to intelligence in general is flawed and wrong.

Trump is threatening their country, and since Canadians cannot vote in the US, there's only one effective way they can drain Trump's power, which is economic warfare. Economic downturn is well correlated with incumbents losing an election.
You are asking Canadians to put some random group of Americans' interest in front of their own self-interest. I think the ship has sailed.
Checking in from Europe. The rise of electronic music was a big deal here, it happened in the late 70s to 90s with "techno" taking off in the late 80s / early 90s. Electronic music in the US has had its ups and downs and has been over-commercialized as dubstep and "EDM" in the last 10-15 years - it will probably be over again at some point. It's been a thing constantly for decades on this side of the pond. Some people say Kraftwerk was as important as (or more so regarding influence on current music) the Beatles.
Electronic music also started in the US: Disco, Chicago house, Detroit techno - these just didn't take off as much or not permanently (Disco).
My interpretation is that Intel didn't understand the customers of the fabless business and Tan does, so he's there to make Intel fabs attractive to them.
EDA companies have limited exposure to the inner workings of the fabless semi giants (Broadcom, Qualcomm, AMD). They have even less exposure to running a fab service for fabless companies.
EDA tool vendors have to work extremely closely with both fabless firms and fabs forever to tune their products to deal the ever increasing complexity of nanometer scale manufacturing processes. Backside power delivery? You bet your ass that the tools folks were involved in making that work well for designers. Gate-All-Around? Probably needed the tool vendors to make tweaks based on feedback from the fabs.
The important thing is that Lip-Bu is from the industry, and has contacts on the tools side of things as well as the customers for those tools which happen to be potential future customers for any Intel fab services. This is a step in the right direction for INTC which has a board where industry experience is severely lacking.
Objective metrics have never been the point of SUV-type vehicles. I think the two things that sell them are large and heavy = safe and, uh, the Brawndo factor.
