32 GB ram is sold for almost 750 USD where I live now. Hope so see him in jail in the coming years!

Don't want to keep the jails on low utilization.

When you think about it, every empty cell is really terrible. They all ought to be full.

If we could achieve a 100% population lock-up rate, just imagine the potential labor unlock!!!

And better yet, jail is the ultimate subscription model - you get inside, you're likely to commit more crime, and resubscribtion here you are. VCs should be lining up (probably are).
That’s the closest I’ve seen hackernews come to „eat the rich“. I’m proud of you guys.
Well, they're trying to do what they did to blue collars to the techies, lawyers and docs. Nothing teaches you solidarity faster than the common circumstance or better yet - a common enemy.
If there is one thing we need more of, a lot more of, then it's data centers... erh, I mean compute campuses and prisons... erh, I mean re-education facilities.
"Campus" is, I think, the most disingenuous rebrand I have seen in my entire life, and I remember "alternative facts".
Fits universities pretty well as a description for a place where you go to focus on a single subject for an extended period of time undistracted by mortal concerns.

Think of universities as "concentration campuses" for the mind.

Had some system instability yesterday and looked up what it would cost to replace my desktop RAM with like for like (64gb ddr4). Something I paid 350 USD for in 2021 is now 600 USD today. And that was during the crypto boom. I am hoarding my old tech not for fun anymore, but as a precaution.
"free as in unallocated"
Free as in free beer
Free as in free range, open as in open season.
Before or after the OOM killer kicks in ? /s
So damn glad I got 64GB Micron E Die kits to go with my 5800X3D when Microcenter had a nice sale on both. At this rate. I probably won't be upgrading until 2030!
Sure, the first one or two eMails will make it through, but this guy probably has someone dealing with his eMail (so he’ll never see any one of these eMails directly), and oodles of admin people who can set up filter lists and block lists on the server (to block anything after the first eMail or two).

This script is funny, but almost purely performative.
