Retired Navy Admiral Mike Mullen, who served as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 2007 to 2011, appeared on ABC’s This Week on Sunday to discuss recent tensions with North Korea. During the interview, Mullen estimated that the chance of a nuclear conflict with the East Asian nation is “more possible than it was five years ago.” That response came after a question about a previous interview with the same journalist from December 2017, in which the retired military officer said that the U....

Millsap, 34, averaged 12.6 points and 7.2 rebounds a game for the Nuggets this past season, his second in Denver. He signed with the Nuggets as a free agent in 2017. A four-time All-Star with the Hawks, Millsap played a key role in Denver’s breakout season. The Nuggets were 54-28 in the regular season, second only to the Warriors in the Western Conference, and advanced to the conference semifinals before losing to the Trail Blazers in seven games....

Doctors later told him that his wife, 41-year-old Zambia native Doreen had died from a rare complication.

A recent report shows that prices for Nvidia and AMD products have started dropping in Germany. While GPUs are still 53% more expensive than they ideally should be, a graph indicates that, while still costly, the price has come down to its lowest since February of this year. At its highest point, graphics cards were more than 200% higher than the recommended retail selling price, brought on largely by the deficit that’s been raging on for some time now....

Still, even though PC parts have come down in price over the years there are also plenty of high-end components for PC purists to, at the very least, lust after. Case in point: the new GTX Titan Z. Just announced today, the Titan Z is the latest graphics card from Nvidia, a $3,000 technological marvel that features 12GB of VRAM, more than 5,000 cores, and two Kepler-based GPUs. By comparison, an average high-end graphics card might feature about 2,000 cores, 4GB of VRAM, and only a single GPU....

Not everyone can afford an RTX 3080-enabled gaming PC to run the best PC games, after all – and even if they can, it’s harder than ever to get your hands on a GPU right now without spending way beyond the RRP. Historically, these gamers were forced to run the games on sub-optimal settings or get left behind all together, but not anymore. Nvidia’s cloud-based GeForce Now has the potential to revolutionise gaming on a PC, Mac, Android or iOS device – especially with the new top-end RTX 3080 tier, rolling out now....

What time does the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 release? According to Newegg’s RTX 30 series informational website, the GeForce RTX 3070 is expected to go on sale October 29 at 9 a.m. EDT. This release timing is in accord with the rest of the cards in the series as well, so we believe it’s accurate. That being said, if the PS5 pre-order fiasco taught tech enthusiasts anything, it’s theoretically possible for highly anticipated wares to enter storefronts at any given time....

The graphics card market is wild, struggling with memory manufacturing shortages, a rampant cryptocurrency market, and scalpers, making it incredibly difficult for regular gamers to get their hands on the new hardware. Nvidia is addressing the issue by artificially limiting the output of the RTX 3060 if it senses use as a cryptocurrency miner, cutting the card’s performance by approximately 50 percent. Nvidia Reveals Cryptocurrency Mining Processors Confused? Why would Nvidia purposefully restrict sales of its hardware to a specific demographic?...

The city was requiring all elementary school students in a class to quarantine for 10 days if a positive case was in the classroom, per the NYC Department of Education. Regulations for middle and high school students stated that those 12 and older who were either unvaccinated—or vaccinated but showing symptoms—were also required to quarantine for ten days. The new policy, which is in line with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines, states that if a student has a mask on and was more than three feet apart from a student infected with COVID-19, quarantine is not necessary....

The new order, announced Monday by Governor Andrew Cuomo, applies to public transit and airport employees.

Last Wednesday, Cuomo announced the same mandate for state employees, who must get vaccinated by Labor Day or get tested weekly....

But timing–and fresh talent–are everything. This week a gorgeous, long-awaited production of “Oklahoma!” opens on Broadway, with the kind of advance buzz and box office ($12 million) that could make Max Bialystock go legit. In a spring theater season heavy with revivals and adaptations, this show is the one to beat. It seems providential that “Oklahoma!” has landed at a time when we’re acutely aware of our Americanness, when the bedrock of our history and culture seems particularly precious....

Obama is a female candidate for president in the same way that Bill Clinton was the first black president. It was Toni Morrison who first had the insight. In a 1998 essay in the New Yorker, the Nobel Prize-winning author described Bill Clinton as “the first black president,” commenting on his saxophone playing and his displaying “almost every trope of blackness.” Obama doesn’t play the sax. But he is pushing against conventional—and political party nominating convention—wisdom in five important ways, with approaches that are usually thought of as qualities and values that women bring to organizational life: a commitment to inclusiveness in problem solving, deep optimism, modesty about knowing all the answers, the courage to deliver uncomfortable news, not taking on all the work alone, and a willingness to air dirty linen....
