…well… let’s not pretend that the internet mob is completely rational in all its brigading… the pitchforks come out and get pointed in various directions for no good reason quite often…

I can’t really blame anyone working in PR for feeling the need to tread carefully. That said, it’s probably time we had some fair trade/labor practice disclosure standards for video games and/or computer software in general.

That shouldn’t be too extreme an idea to be practical - we have such things in other industries already, like clothing and food production.

So is mental gymnast a bourgeois or proletariat form of labor?

Sure, but are you rich?

Probably not, because you seem to have some moral compunctions.

It’s not an issue of what is “better” or “worse” from a moral perspective, it’s an issue of who lost money. Nvidia’s value is dropping because it’s pretty clear this woman had access to things within the company that she should not have, because of her relationship with Huang. Huang has demonstrated that he is an unreliable investment vehicle. Huang must leave or be pushed out.

The party of good family values, everybody.

The U.S. Is Driving Away Young Scientists

Thank you for tracking this and collecting the evidence.

If anyone was still hoping Proton might deal with this issue appropriately and move past it, there’s the answer.

Abandon ship.

Typically, consumer ovens work around a nominal 2.45 gigahertz (GHz) – a wavelength of 12.2 centimetres (4.80 in) in the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz ISM band

Anon doesn’t need an entire router or WAP, just an old microwave they can pull a magnetron out of.

This isn’t “dumb”, it’s malicious.

The business model for all of these things is hoping that you’ll forget that you’re signed up for automatic payments. They’re happy to give you a discount if it increases the chance you’ll forget to cancel 3 months from now. The price never reflects the operating cost, only what they think they can get people to pay.

This is part of why coin edges were milled or reeded:

The ridges made it harder to counterfeit the coins, and it also made clipping or filing of the edges to collect some of the gold or silver very obvious. In Britain this was implemented by everybody’s favorite scientist:

Some gold and silver coins were reeded to discourage clipping, i.e. scraping off the precious metals from the edge of the coin, to maintain its stated value in precious metal. This practice was made more difficult through the implementation of reeding by Isaac Newton in 1698, during his time as warden of the Royal Mint.

It’s less relevant today, as few coins are minted with precious metals, though the varied edges also help people with visual impairments to identify different denominations by feel.

Nonsense, computers are pure logic! Nothing can possibly go wrong!

I know, let’s just have computers run the world! Surely then we will have a peaceful, stable society!

Even if we have the necessary resources, we’re talking about a complicated and dangerous engineering project being done in a warzone. I’m not sure there’s enough pay in the world that would get me to join that construction crew in the current conditions.

So, the world needs to get off its collective ass and end Russia’s aggression, so we can put a lid on the previous mess they made in Ukraine.

Dude has been on message for 60 years.

Also, we believe that we shouldn’t still be having this discussion, and the people who keep dragging us back into it are wasting everyone’s time.

praise be, praise be

No no, it smells like 2000 incidents of an 8-year-old puking up soda and birthday cake, which was then cleaned up by someone making minimum wage.
