They use Bing API.

> They don’t need google scale, they just need profitability.

Oh? They did take money from Greylock and Sequoia. Don't those guys aim as high as possible?

They’d get acquired by google before they get google scale.

Would we be able to adjust the drop shadow?

> just going somewhere is not going to be enough.

How about going there completely disguised, and pretending to go to a different floor in the building than Fahim? If he went there to talk to him, he wouldn't press a button in the elevator for a different apartment.

Assault? Robbery? He'd disguise himself to commit basically any criminal act agains Fahim, not just murder.

Even weapons being brought could have been intended for threatening future violence.

It's incredibly hard to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, what someone's mindset is at any given time.

At the minimum, capture market share.

> If you have the correct antennas and possibly amplifiers on both ends you can established a Wifi link over hundreds of miles (if you have line of sight). Basically, if you can see the other device you want to communicate with at building level with your eyes then it's not too difficult to establish a Wifi link with it using off the shelf parts.

Any resources you can share to do this?

I can't speak to hundreds of miles, but I built a Wifi bridge that went about 1.75 miles across a cow pasture with center-pivot sprinklers using a pair of WRT-54G routers, DD-WRT, and some yagi/panel antennas from Amazon about 10 years ago. Total price was under $300 and speeds of 11mb were all we went for as it was just feeding a PC for browsing and time-card punches in a shop across the pasture from the office.

It ran happily for nearly 6 years before being replaced with a packaged kit of antennas and POE injectors that advertised 54mb over 2-3 miles seamlessly for around the same price.

If you had a pile of old 802.11b gear and the time and gumption, I'd think you could build something like this for sub-$50 at this point.

Why not? Tell us your story.

I think we have enough to guess with reasonable accuracy.

The two video cards alone cost $10k.

The memory alone is $15,000.

I think your issue may be with the exponential scaling of GPU cost at the highest end. As a consumer, you wish that a card ~2x the Titan in tflops only cost twice as much, but it doesn’t work that way for either platform, and of course isn’t helped by the workstation card market being smaller by unit than the retail/ORM gaming card market.

That said I did not downvote you; it’s an understandable frustration.

The Titan RTX is a consumer GPU, not a workstation GPU. The cards are designed for different workloads, so are not really comparable.

What parts of the chip do they burn off for the consumer version?

It has ecc memory, more memory, and the design allows for 4 stacked together, making it ideal for deep learning workflows.
