For server CPUs there's not a similar problem or they realize server purchasers may be less willing to tolerate it? I'm not all that thrilled with the prospect of buying Intels especially when wondering about waiting to 5 year out replacement compared to a few generations ago, but AMD server choices can be a bit limited and I'm not really sure how to evaluate if there may be increasing surprises more across the board.

It was really a bit fortunate that the employee pilot quit.. As much of a mess as it was, it was a fair trolley problem trade, and if the owner/engineer who ignored expert opinion was not among the victims there would have been a lot more social friction over the matter of manslaughter, surviving to reframe a misfortune, etc.

Requiring crowdstrike or similar to be able to do business isn't a requirement from government, it is from exactly this industry consensus where business, insurance, etc, gets consulting advice on what best practices exist and should be required.

We have to do precisely what we've done because it isn't working?

Ah yes, signalling on what we would have done.. Well, I'd totally have delivered panels if Convolt and Chinese companies were banned a few years ago. Make the market exclusive to me and I'll look into what the profit will be if I start producing them. I'll also be sure to prevent the domestic installer industry from taking advantage of low prices, only a small number of authorized ones will pay enough kick backs to have any availability. But its not all economic loss, the repair industry will need to be a lot better with my exclusive US panels.

I don't see the point. Your work is going fine, so why not look for a hobby that you enjoy instead of making a burden out of finding a work related hobby? There are plenty of non coding things to do and their differences from your day job may bring new ideas and perspective.

When ypu are talking web facing client full scale browser, C++ is impossible to secure as well as a safer language and most safer languages are impossible to optimize as well as C++. So rust is not so much exciting as not horrifying.

A court that doesn't act on demonstrable perjury is just a stadium.

Inserted under the skin, probably dissolves over a little more than six months.

He never left NZ, a patient offered him a similar job to the one he wanted in north America.

The leaders who have nearly killed us all so far never demonstrated math skills. I'd be more worried that it gets Altman's weasel skills.

Improving a percentage of a net has reduced down percentage for a reduced timeframe, so it seems like there are obviously better alternatives to the hand wringing approach if the goal isn't actually to justify doing nothing.

From what I've heard, most of those sites side automatically with the customer giving you rights similar to a merchant in a credit card transaction, or really a bit less since that might be all the leverage they actually have and they don't really want to spend their income trying to arbitrate and lose customers who may pay next time.

Who was the data being kept for?

True, but they also pay to destroy it when prices are too low.

You are confusing the vast major of people with the small number of people who usually have worse options and make bad decisions and turn avoiding a slight loss into jail time for doing what someone like Trump says.

I'm not saying Musk won't find those people, I'm saying he has reduced the rest of his life to being surrounded by those people. A giant drop from what he was attracting when he began his startups.

If the rest of the US takes a realist view like yours then it is best not to waste time there and start to consider which economies accept US resources/credentials and will do better.. IMO, that's exactly what a successful Russian did in the 90s and why they aren't foolishly still in Russia submitting and becoming fodder.

So we all perform poorly in the morning, but for some that is the best they can do?

Yeah.. Everyone should expect every publically traded corporation to end up controlled by someone in the same mental decline as McAfee and never make a long term contract they don't expect to spend millions enforcing internationally.

Ruining such people's future prospects whenever this happens to reduce the future risk has been such a good strategy that countries like the US introduced credit rating bureaus to emulate this for managing risk with less famous people.

We are naturally in a very unusual time, but things will shift back and the facts will stay and reputational meaning will be interpreted correctly then.

There are always enough idiots to do business with if you are a famous connman, but your business is always of a certain limited category.

If he were poor and did this I think you'd admit he is a putz. I live in a free country where I can choose which market participants to deal with and see no reason to feel intimidated by the buying power of a putz I won't ever be foolish enough to depend on. The more significant someone is in the society the more likely they are to be able to afford my position and not risk yours.

That's a Musk summary of his distorted reality. What happened in their international real estate is that they vacated key real estate where they had leases. They've pissed off the people that will do their long term leases on prime showrooms to BYD, not just the desperate highway belt office park admins.

Even if people in that part of the real estate market are desperate relative to their normal they have tricks to ignore business they don't want to deal with and take a lower offer from someone they either trust or at least don't distrust.

Making it obvious that the US is no longer a country of laws and contract law will work against people like him in the long run, so his take for a lot of future costs is irrational and I think he should finally deal with his mental problems.

If you think ypu are going to make it rich signing contracts only the other side can enforce then how would you remain solvent? There's a lot more other business in the world.
