Like I said on a similar thread - we already lost our feedom. They’re just installing the shackles now.

i am American, and yes we have a long history of interpretation that is expansive. the problem is we have narrow minded people running the institutions now who don’t even want the narrow interpretations to be in effect so they do everything possible to limit them.

if you pay attention long enough you will see them use one argument to get their way, then later use the opposite to get their way on a different issue. there is no moral consistency because morality is just s tool to them.

supply snd demand is litteraly a capitlist concept

Yeah, I’m glad you woke up there. They will always find a way to blame the developers.

I’m thinking the last scene in Fight Club. Yeah, that would be the one you’re looking for.

Private credit. Get ready for the tsunami.

Yes, but it’s too bad for people like me who were shunted out of the workforce and are now retired because the alternative was eating a shotgun barrel to put an end to the agony of the Endless humiliations of the new job search process.

It was awesome, so awesome that I later upgraded to the Amiga when that came out. Amiga OS CLI was similar to Unix. So I had Linux before Linux, with a multitasking OS, stereo sound, and 4096 color game console.

I actually lived near the Commodore United States headquarters and I did a brief internship in high school there.

Well, I thought the thing on Commodore OS I saw just today was pretty cool. So I guess I can’t pan this too much.

I don’t have any problems with people looking up video game skirts. It’s the hypocrisy I’m pointing out. The people who complain the most and try to take the rights away from other people are the ones who are most likely to be doing the bad thing themselves.

Ha! That’s right, only capitalists do that. Not

Or perhaps they just put up the original model which they couldn’t use because the marketing team thought it was too risky,

And if they did, they’d be the first ones to be looking up those skirts. That’s why they think everyone else is doing it.

Back in the nineties, I advocated for “build on the most powerful system, test and improve on the least”.

I think it’s still relevant.

The idea of course is as developers, we need the best equipment to make the work bearable and more efficient, but the users rarely have that luxury. Make it work well on the least powerful reasonably representative equipment.

It’s easy to think your work is done on the dev box, but have a disaster in the real world.

The answer is 42.

Yes. Yes it does.

The worst part is they managed to convince a few indexes to add it within weeks rather than the way things work for everyone else. That means all us IRA/401k holders will be forced to own this stock indirectly if we have funds/ETFs that track them, and suffer the losses directly.

S&P didn’t take the bait and won’t put it in until next year, but I think it’s going on NASDAQ in a few weeks, as well as a few others.

Well capitalism is darwinistic. They’ll probably disappear.

Interesting. The story I’ve been hearing is it’s a supply problem caused a massive demand for the Nvidia AI chips and the ultra-fast RAM they require.

I just saw a report from SK Hynix (that triggered chip stock selloffs) that they were dialing back on production for the next generation NVidia chips. The market figured that was evidence of soft demand.

Turns out that was because those were delayed, so they decided to build more of the lower speed RAM, which I think is the stuff consumers are needing. Working from memory here, so details are likely off.

Anyway, the problem may be more about producing for the most profitable market rather than price fixing.

I look forward to the outcome. It will be nice to know the situation from an objective source.

Full disclosure, I own shares of FKLR which is an ETF of the South Korean market index that is dominated by these two companies.

It’s doing poorly just now due to that report I mentioned and a bunch of other things.
