As a frequent work traveler, airport prices are always at least double what they are outside the airport. It's not a fair comparison.

It depends on what you mean by "more likely to announce things with no industrial relevance". If we are including humanities, then yes. If we exclude humanities, then no. Nearly all current STEM advancements can be traced back to

Companies lie and exaggerate all the time. It's called PR. It makes no difference whether it comes from a company or university, but companies have much more incentive to lie than universities, especially in technical fields, because t

Doesn't surprise me in the least. McDonald's is such a bad company on many levels, even from its founding roots. They make fast food (an industry notorious for craping all over their employees) and it was usurped by a greedy busin

I was addicted to these games as a kid. Too bad they never remade them and now its some obscure title nobody can get.

It would be anti-trust if they were deliberately shrinking supply to hike up prices on their cards. For example, I know I have the best card in the industry, so I'm going to force the supply low so I can charge effectively whatever I

It wasn't in the 2000's back when ATI and NVIDIA cards had comparable prices. Sometimes ATI cost a little more because they were better, but they were never crazy different from NVIDIA. And there were never supply problems.

Yeah, it's a shame, I often have to do this type of crap in my off time. However, having a well architected app significantly reduces these types of massive undertakings. Doing it right the first time has its advantages. Then again, we

Output has been scarce for NVIDIA gpu's for quite some time. Often not even being able to support the demand for their cards. NVIDIA is a trillion dollar company right now. There should be no reason why they are restricting access to t

When AMD can run 95% of games as good as any NVIDIA card and you factor in that most games have virtually no ray tracing support or any other fancy feature that NVIDIA offers, coupled with the known low performance/cost gains in their

I understand antitrust law enough to know that "mad I can't game on Linux" is an anti-competitive measure. As far as what I read about the driver stack, they only recently (within a year) release source for kernel modules. Th

This is one successful landing. I think its robustness needs a lot more successful landings than this. Plus, its not even landing like it was originally designed to land, its just landing in the ocean like any other rocket expect with thrus

I'm not sure what world you live in, but Nvidia sells their cards at 1.5 - 2 times the price than AMD's on average and AMD has had strong Linux support for years.

I agree with this. In a large organization, if you have risen to a level where you are being relied upon at a regular intervals, it is imperative that you have a well architected solution that you can readily change and this is where you se

There is succeeding, then there is your company being overvalued to insane levels because of some hype boom. It also doesn't mean that just because you outcompete, then you can artificially reduce supply and only support a select few O

Consumer harm = selling their graphics cards at outrageous prices by keeping supply low and reducing the OS support for them by making Linux drivers crap. Then again, it never "required" consumer harm as far as I've read.

You can always get a job as another executive, so I doubt its the "best job she will ever have". But I agree, she was most likely pressured.

I agree with your sentiments, but she was not fired. She resigned. There is a big difference. Of course, I wasn't there so I don't know if it was a forced resignation (ie. firing) or not, but everything I look up says she resigned

DEI has always been in companies before the term even arose to the larger public discourse. I have to go through such trainings every year at every company I've been at. There has never been true "diversity of thought" at mo

I think Claudine Gay is a bad example. First of all, she wasn't fired, she resigned. If you look at her credentials, she is more than qualified for the position. Many people attacked her primarily for the faux claims of antisemitism an
