Dont be fooled. The Repugnant Party doesn't give a damn for the worker either. Its all just talk to get you to vote for them. The Dumbocrats try to sell their story by claiming they support DEI to sucker those who lean that way into vo

He's up for re-election in Nov 2026. After he wins, you can bet he will be all-in on Datacenters again and touting how wonderful for everyone they will be.

Luv it: Trumpistan. Since he's so fond of renaming Geographic entities he should rename his own country to Trumpistan.

And you have to have a phone number to login to these sites (Authenticate). Even On-line Banking, you need a phone number to log in. And in my country Mobile contracts are hideously expensive. Its all part of the plan: the Digital Control G

Two Thumbs up! It's time more people fully understood the meaning of "I don't care what color the Cat is, as long as it catches the Mouse".

When? I'm sure they already are. Can you imagine how much health insurance companies would luv to get their hands on such data? How much they would be willing to pay?

It isn't just Musk, there are plenty of reputable journalists and scholars who argue the same point. Noam Chomsky for starters.

Highly useful if you are building a Digital Control Grid.

by tharmas 1mo ago
Yeah, I wish journalists would just look up the EM-ployment rate and go from there. The official "unemployment" rate is based on who is collecting benefits. It doesn't count those unemployed but not collecting benefits.

>Apple has low volume sales? In comparison. Android phones (in total) outsell iPhones because they are cheaper/more affordable. Sure Macs and iPhones may sell more than an individual non Apple brand, but collectively all together, t

>TSMC now has fabs on U.S. soil. It will take years to get to the level of skill TSMC in Taiwan has. I don't think Washington should spend money and lives on defending Taiwan. My point is that TSMC is a very valuable manufacturer of

Well, actually they have a new model. I call it the "Apple" model. Low volume sales on high value items where you can charge more. Even NVidia has moved to this model: make your money from selling high-end GPUs for Data Centers an

But increasingly this describes Western countries more and more, particularly the United States.

by tharmas 1mo ago
Fair. And I agree with nearly everything in your comment. One thing about tRump, is that he is more blatantly obvious about the "bully" side of America. He is not the first bully; just the first un-subtle American bully. What I fi

This wasn't sarcasm. Gov't contracts are where a lot of people make a lot of money. And Palantir and ICE are definitely a thing. I know that sounds purely political but these are real things. ICE depends on Palantir a lot. And Pal

I'm surprised. Usually, the gripes are the compile times or the lack of tooling compared to other languages. For functional programming its quite expressive. ZIO and Typelevel Cats.

Me too. It's my favorite language by far. So expressive. Although that can be a downside.

Aren't the AI Datacenters for the Digital Control Grid, so govt contracts?

Well their choice is as a USA/EU Vassal state or Russian one. I'd say neither is an attractive choice.

If AI was utilized to eliminate the "shitty" jobs I'd be more enthusiastic about it. AI Robots that clean toilets so humans don't have to? Yes, please. (Yes, I get it that at present its probably still cheaper to employ

I would argue that it is rent-seeking and asset accumulation that is a big problem. If the wealthy elite invested in production rather than consuming assets that would improve things. I don't share his politics but someone like Elon Mu

Israel IS the USA in the Middle-East. However, in a post-oil world will it still be a thing? For now, there's still the Petro-dollar.

It depends on what you use for sunscreen. A lot of sunscreens have aluminum in them and there are many that have it but it is not listed as an ingredient. Zinc oxide sunscreen is a much safer sunscreen.

by tharmas 3mo ago
You have a point, but remember tRump gets to pass himself off as the "good" guy. Also, there is absolutely no way that Israel gets to act autonomously. They are a vassal state beholden to the USA. The USA calls the shots when it c
