Depends on what the deployment is, if it is just airstrikes or even limited ground operations to break a few things and leave, no reason for it to be a forever war.
Note: I have made zero statements about that being something I would support.
from a, a coworker and b, a manager
A coworker and a manager at your company gave you advice about your job?
If that is the case, you should take it seriously. Make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. You don’t know everything, there is a darn good chance they are trying to make you better at your job.
If it isn’t about your job, you should still make sure you know why they think their suggestion is better than what you are doing. Other people do know things you don’t.
I normally just cut it in half and scoop out the insides. Peeling one of those is a PITA.
Yeah, Steam in-home-streaming is great and is something I have used on many an occasion.
Game streaming over the internet is simply miserable.
Customers have roundly rejected game streaming. If streaming is the only way to play a game, that game will see a colossal hit in sales. This won’t be acceptable to companies trying to make money.
I’m a big fan of the Keep It Simple (KISS) approach, and went with Password Safe. Works on Linux, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android. It’s big thing is it just makes an encrypted password file which then you can sync between devices however you like (Box, Dropbox, etc)
Which one works on all browsers including mobile safari and mobile Firefox?
It has an auto-type and copy feature, so no need for browser support. Though, the main criticism of this offering is if you want a ton of features and don’t care about KISS.
Protip for the room: Use a password manager with a unique password for every service. Then when one leaks, it only affects that singular service, not large swaths of your digital life.
We have that already, it’s called Linux Mint.
Don’t overthink it.
The good news is. Even if you don’t change your strategy, you can just chill on index funds. When the bubble pops, they will go down, just keep buying more. In the long term, you will still make money. US index funds earn ~8% per year on average when invested for long periods of time.
I never got into options investing, but I believe you keep re-upping them. Every time you do so you pay a small price. So, the game is: ‘can you stay liquid long enough for the bubble to pop’.
Capital gains are taxed. Profits from this are capital gains.
Mid-Cap index funds should be fairly insulated from the damage as well, given they would exclude companies as large as nVidia.
Either way, biggest thing people is when the bubble pops, that is the time to buy in more, not the time to sell. The buy high-sell low strategy is easy to fall into emotionally.
This is pretty much my response any time Google or Microsoft does anything negative at this point. My good will for those two was spent years ago. Swapped over to Protonmail, non-google phone, Linux. Done with their shit.
EA was easier to get away from. Just…not buying more EA games solved that one. :)
By harnessing low-cost, nonstop solar energy and avoiding land use and fossil fuels
“low-cost” - Nothing about launching data centers into space is low cost
“nonstop solar energy” Continuous solar energy is certainly nice, but that is a pretty minor buff compared to current ways of making power. If you think nuclear or solar+battery is expensive, go calculate the price for space-based solar per GW…
“avoiding land use” - We have a fuckload of land outside of cities, build them outside of cities… Datacenter land use is removing a cup of water from the ocean.
“avoiding…fossil fuels” - You can achieve that on earth, nuclear or solar+battery…
In summary, this is probably the dumbest way to build data centers. It’s stated goals are better accomplished on land with nuclear or solar+battery. It really just feels like venture capital money trap.
The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company
Yeah, this article should compare nVidia’s revenue to the US GDP (both measure of annual production). But we know why they aren’t, as it wouldn’t produce an alarming stat.
The United States has tethered 16% of its entire economic output to the fortunes of a single company
And to be clear, this stat is simply factually wrong. nVidia IS NOT 16% of US output. They sold $165B last year, US GDP is $29.2T. This means the US has tethered… 0.5% of their economic output to one company. Not 16%, zero-point-five-percent.
Yeah, from the world’s perspective, this is a problem that solves itself in a few years. Plus, the idea of ‘doing something’ about a country is not a very common action. The most common action is to ignore the BS best you can, focus on building up allies, and focus on building up your own country.
Veritasium did a great video on it. Anything I can say about it will be 10x worse than that video.
Side rant:
To make it worse, SMS is incredibly insecure. Nothing should send you codes via SMS, and if you have the option to use an authenticator app, do that. It’s atrocious so many banks only have SMS as an option.
The really dumb part is, the SMS codes are literally the same authenticator algorithm, but running on their servers and sent to you via an insecure medium.
Signal? No.
I’m running Signal right now on Linux Mint.
I believe the FairPhone is pretty solid.
Not as good, but Apple stuff is a big step up from Google and Samsung stuff wrt spying.
