the more i hear about options/puts and then the short counterpart i feel as if the whole game is convoluted to hide the fact that its less investing and more gambling.
we dont need half of that stuff. backup cam is fine (because of the stupid b pillars now) , tire pressure warning is probably cheap enough and not going to be hard to fab at more open foundaries but lane assist and brake assist. naw, fucking drive your car . plus all that self driving stuff makes it easier for cars to be totalled and bring repairs up because of all the sensors.
amd buying radeon is really what almost bankrupted them. they barely got both divisions working properly now although gpu is behind by about 1 gen on some stuff.
oh please. plenty of cops bent the knee for the BLM protests and stood by as stuff happened. some cops want to crack heads, some cops think attacking the mob will make things worse.
the insurrection is the political classes fault! if they hadnt shown the right that they were ok with burning cities the right wouldnt have had enough and actually did something. Sure the political class is going to make examples because this wasnt approved like the other but now their own words are getting thrown at them. granted a civil war will make the soviet collapse look like a cakewalk so im not preaching for that but holy damn. and it doesnt help this censorship means 40% of the country will think there is indeed a conspiracy now and will cause more unrest which will cause more more tyranny which will cause more unrest which causes a giant feedback loop. the higher ups literally are meeting their destiny by trying to avoid it. this could very well not end well.
gpdr on the other hand is tough to enforce on companies who wholly are in the US. from a sovereign perspective the EU can pound sand when telling Americans how to treat people in their own land.
The only reason the EU is able to get away with this to a degree is the american governments wish cooperation to a point and our treaties. However, I suspect america will only tolerate so much push from the EU.
if big companies go down. the ops guy can blame it on the hosting provider esepcially if its amazon. no place can guarantee 100% uptime but if you pick some joe crabs hosting you will be blamed but if you pick amazon or azure the company will be like oh well shit happens.
the world is balkanizing , he is wrong. its just right now certain players are dominent. 4chan has the least censorship of platforms right now and is probably the closest to global platform you can get. all others have to align some what with their countries origins. twitter vs president is just an internal dispute.
i have a problem with floatplane. its in canada and therefore isnt as strong with free speech protections. My bet is they would buckle more quicker than youtube would. Also, its not peer to peer.
its not the governments job to deal with this. europe made the same bullshit law. if electric can beat gas at the same price point people will naturally pick that. especially if elon is correct about his telsa stuff. if you could spend 25k and get a model 3 that did almost 400 miles and RWD i think it would kill a lot of car models.
moral victory? this is government overreach. people set their own hours. they are contractors not employees. the government changed the rules not because they care for you but because they collect more taxes from employers than contractors.
looking at the videos over the past few days its pretty safe to safe it was for the most part not white supremists. the last day was questionable like those bricks in dallas but other than that. there were a lot of young black people doing stuff on their own.
My employer had us go on a reduced work week for 5 weeks. thankfully we are back to full time now but our 401k match has been removed. No idea what will happen later in the year but i bet merit increases get removed as well.
still from working from home here. our office is open but my side boss said for the group to stay home. Im sure he will let us go in June but probably wont pressure people so WFH will probably be extended.
