jimbobbam··on IBM Buys Hughs Research Lab for Quantum Dev
Slowly Malibu to Santa Barbara is starting to develop a quantum industry. Google kickstarted it with UCSB out of Goleta a few years back. MS is opening in Goleta and now IBM purchasing HRL in Malibu is a big deal for the area.

I'm excited that HRL will get some life blown back in to it- frankly.

jimbobbam··on What happens if an entire class of workers loses faith in their careers
My grandfather was a printer not to far from that Burger King, in a building now owned by the academy of art. In 1963 he had 5 children, a house in Daly City and 3 apartments across the street from Dolores park as well as a brand new home in Terra Linda. He died early, but extended family stayed in the business. It was union work, he as the youngest operator of the 4 color press. His wife my grandmother didn’t work. The printing business was cooked by the early 90s. I was laid off from Broadcom a year and a half ago- I think about the printing industry to Ai analogue all the time. I got lucky and got a job a startup making less than half of what I made before. I know much more capable and smart people laid off in the same round- that are still wondering what the hell to do.

This is a bunch of revisionist history bs.

Windows me, windows vista, explorer, windows media player, zune, ms retail store.

He brought the worst products to the market and we hated him for it.
