I grew up somewhat poor, small town with no fast food, post-soviet nation. We had a garden and a greenhouse. I was a teen when I found out how flavourless tomatoes can be. Because we’d always grown our own and didn’t use them as much in the winter when they needed to be bought from the store lol

Fresh tomatoes out of your own greenhouse are amazing, that’s why

Oh this is a good one

Only with the correct iOS version though.

Back when people made a big deal about iPhone planned obsolescence, they were actually easier to repair than most competitors. Nowadays it’s about the same.

You could eliminate a bunch of systemic issues with a trillion dollars that would amount to essentially ending many of the effects of poverty for most people in poverty I would think.

Things like food insecurity, shelter, etc.

You’re right that just spending a trillion dollars as a one off grant to everyone in poverty wouldn’t do much, though. It’d need to be used strategically.

Okay so AFAIK this concerns when US companied have foreign subsidiaries. What if foreign companies have US subsidiaries? Can the parent company’s data stored outside the US be required from the US subsidiary?

No I’m pretty sure money was the original reason. AWS was the first big cloud player and it quickly became the most profitable part of Amazon.

Now Microsoft already had more money than they know how to use, they may indeed have been looking for control first and foremost. But the idea of cloud in general was about exploiting economies of scale to make more money

Waymo/Google has aligned itself with Trump and there are a lot of cameras on those cars. I suspect that was a reason back then. Now there’s more.

Sounds like we have the same ex kinda.

I mean salesperson is gender neutral and stupid cunt is pretty gender neutral too, even if it originally referred to female genitalia. Somehow genitalia based insults have become gender neutral, or some of them at least.

Assuming that you don’t need the absolute tightest timings and highest speed, you can get 192 GB from Corsair for “just” 660 euros where I live, pretty far still from 2000 euros. The speed and timings are the same as the 1300 euro kit, also from Corsair, it’s just that the cheaper kit has no RGB.

So at 2k EUR I’m assuming it’s going to be either more than 192 GB (in which case, is that even a desktop motherboard or are we talking about servers?) or some super high speed RAM.

They’ll also have an electrical outage the millisecond demand starts to go down, so they’ll have to sell the old stock at inflated prices first before restarting production, oopsie-woopsie

Huh, I hate doing front end but I feel like in this team I’d manage. Shit even has comments.

Also cars have notoriously bad security. I doubt buses are better.

He also vets republican presidential candidates for Israel. That’s the country where his loyalties lie, not the US.

Well, the peak output is a useless number, that’s just record chasing. I think the continuous output is the number we should be looking at. That is a bit more believable and also started in the article that that number is an estimate for now.

So IMO they’re not making any wild claims. There’s “we measured this huge output for a short burst” and “we think that over a long period, it can do this slightly smaller, but still impressive number, but it needs to be verified”

Will be cool to find out if the continuous output is close to their estimate of course, but even if it’s lower, it’s still impressive by virtue of the super low weight.

I’ll give them some credence based on the cars their motors are already used in and the fact that their parent company is Mercedes-Benz. Doesn’t look like they’re a bunch of grifters seeking investment.

To put you back on the fence, it had the best algorithm when I tested it some time ago. It showed me things I wanted by default. Google always needs some massaging and ddg needs a !g
