FWIW, I think this injunction was not about election integrity, but gambling laws.

But yeah, bribery is legal if you have that third comma in your net worth.

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they’d just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are “old generation” chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it’s pricey enough that it doesn’t look that way in company earnings reports).

Think power supplies, middle-of-the-road CPUs, ASICs for common I/O like USB and ethernet, timing devices, and wireless communication modules.

Fitness isn’t something you just achieve and it’s done. You need to keep exercising to retain that level of fitness.

His real money comes from Amazon Web Services, and that’s really hard to divest from, even if its customers (businesses rather than individuals) wanted to.

His whole set was also loaded into the teleprompter, so they knew what he was gonna say.

God I fuckin hope so.

He’s 54, I think he looks pretty average for that age. He looks like an old dad, because he is.

PewDiePie controversy is like almost a decade old at this point.

He got old.

His routine was loaded into the teleprompter. It was explicitly approved.

State espionage agencies are going to try to hack both presidential parties. Trump has a record of ignoring security advice so he’s gotta be really easy to hack. Vance might be a little better at the security thing, but his proximity to a weak link like Trump is still an exploitable vulnerability.

I hadn’t played in years and started a new world a few weeks ago. I just started setting up a raill system when the update hit and now the whole thing is fucked. Gotta tear up a bunch of diagonal sections and re-do them noe that the new track angles lead to different accessible grid points. I literally cannot connect new rails to the old rails on the diagonal section 🙃

Hey look! Someone who only read the headline!

“One order for fried ice, Don!”

Those also use a combination of many different sensors to see the road around them, while Tesla stubbornly refuses to use anything except vision because that’s how humans do it. Nevermind that even with our best AI models, we’ve never even approximated how the human brain works.

On a related note…

Full Self Driving coming next year? Or the year after that? Or after that?

Sure, I agree. But the CEOs of McDonalds and Wendy’s don’t want to miss a single day of profits and their wealth gives them a lot more political power than I have.

It’s not satire, it’s 100% the reasoning that would be used in this argument. That’s the train of thought that we took towards covid.
