> The R&D they are doing on semiconductors on their 2nm and sub-2nm processes is also impressive and hardcore tech. But they don't have production. How can they develop successfully without running silicon in a fab?
They could just make a device that fits in a regular pocket. Most phones are too big now.
Good riddance. These guys had like 40% forecast accuracy, worse than random. When they say the winter will warmer it will be colder and vice versa.
Right? Spreadsheets have such a low barrier of entry. I use Google Sheets in a middle of a farm field to enter plant growing records on my cell phone. I don't even have good reception at times so the sheets are in…
I see how Google has a vested interest in hollowing out communities to the point you have nobody to text to refer you to a cleaner. I frequently see such requests in a local Facebook group aptly named "Exit 10 and 11"…
Something like 60% of a coffee shop Cost of Goods Sold is rent. You aren't really paying for coffee when you sit down with a cup.
> employers across the economy who require applicants have 'university degrees' Somebody from HR admitted to me that they often do it to simply trim the applicant pool to a more manageable size.
It's worse. With plumbing, at least you can see what you are doing. Vibe code? One day, it just breaks and you don't know why.
They classify a lot of it as R&D and write it off taxes. Taxpayers foot the bill.
Last year Hostgator suddenly changed the conditions of my plan without any warning at a renewal time so I "conveniently" went over the storage quota, then shut me down. I had to pay the extortion fee to restore service.…
> I don’t think that culturally IBM ever really felt that the PC was a true IBM product This makes perfect sense. In the early 2010s I worked with what remained of IBM development and was surprised at the dysfunction,…
BTW Covid harms pancreatic cells that produce insulin via autoimmune mechanisms.
It's a lovely story, no cringe detected.
Yeah, he post things like "there are no more excuses to be fat". Nasty dude. Romania's overall educational system is unimpressive, as he pointed out himself. Yet he suggested to replicate it in different countries to…
Interest and motivation comes largely from success. You try something, it works, it feels good so you continue doing that. The school's role is to enable this "easy success" early on so kids will continue.
> the provider owning the device, not the user That's been the case since they got rid of removable batteries. You don't own a device you can't reliably turn off.
Yep. AI is wonderful for IP laundering and accountability laundering (is this even a term? It is now!)
This is correct. People on top are very much ego driven and don't forgive those who say no to them or make them look bad.
Yup. It's a power grab.
They could have offered a small fee to the original poster but no, they went straight to robbery.
> I am dumbfounded by the degree of mismatch between capital and utility That's often a sign of money laundering
Jeebezus. He's either delusional or a scammer. Can't tell atm
Another peak of cynicism is that the owners try to argue that the "service charge" is legally not a tip so it doesn't need to be distributed to workers.
