Why, though?

A french press is literally the easiest way to make coffee. There’s hardly anything to fuck up and it’s dirt cheap - like 10€ at Ikea.

If you count the numbers of As, H, and Os in his last tweets, it’s clearly 23, 11, 24. That can’t be a coincidence!!

And surprisingly about how difficult it is to kill him before the election.

An incel with more acne than accuracy almost killed him. A professional team might have gotten it done.

Obviously I don’t know the business in question, but it’s quite possible that the company has a bunch of longer running contracts that would become a loss if the inputs become much more expensive.

Of course, businesses will use the opportunity to charge more, but sudden price hikes are a very real problem.

That doesn’t change anything, tbh.

Apparently these people are at least complacent enough to let Trump become president. And that is horrifying.

Imagine being a doctor in this scenario. You could save them. You have the tools, the capabilities, the facility. But you have to let them die or risk ruining your own life. There are no winners here.

It’s interesting in the sense that something went catastrophically wrong here.

This isn’t just a small indie dev wasting a bit of money, it’s hundreds of millions set on fire by an established company in this industry.

The fact that “no one heard of it” is exactly the point. What went wrong here?

It only started this year for me (had this number for 15 years or so), and it’s mostly numbers from the UK and India for some reason (I’m in Germany).

Doesn’t work, unfortunately. It seems to be a 16bit app.

No, it’s pretty obscure, I barely managed to find it at all.

And that’s mostly the “bullshit IoT” category. It’s not like the demand for phones and laptops exploded in the last years, it’s IoT, AI and other useless crap - regardless of the process node.

We could start by not requiring new chips every few years.

For 90% of the users, there hasn’t been any actual gain within the last 5-10 years. Older computers work perfectly fine, but artificial slow downs and bad software cause laptops to feel sluggish for most users.

Phones haven’t really advanced either. But apps and OSes are too bloated, hardware impossible to repair, so a new phone it is.

Every device nowadays needs wifi and AI for some reason, so of course a new dishwasher has more computing power than an early Cray, even though nothing of that is ever used.

What exactly do you think these chips are used for?

Because it’s often enough AI, crypto and bullshit IoT.

Admittedly, I only ever entered an operating room under anesthesia, but could you just, you know, put the displays somewhere else?

This seems like one of those informercial “problems”.

Imagine not even being capable of thinking other people might think differently than yourself.

Imagine taking a statement that doesn’t contain any value judgement about the writer and misinterpreting it for bragging.

Imagine being so self absorbed, that you don’t only misinterpret intention so drastically, but doing that with the intent of defending literature interpretation.

See, that’s what I meant by circle jerk. You simply can’t accept that other people don’t care about your hobby.

Instead you insult them, proving that you in fact are the low of the human experience you’re talking about.

I can honestly say that not a single book or story I read in so left me with any impression whatsoever. I just learned that literature teachers of all languages are waaay too absorbed in their own circle jerks.

… exactly the right lessons for those in power.

You’re oversimplifying things, drastically.

Corporations don’t have one projects, they have dozens, maybe hundreds. And those projects need staffing.

It’s not a chair factory where more people equals faster delivery

And that’s the core of your folly - latency versus throughput. Yes, putting 10 new devs in a project won’t increase speed magically. But 200 developers can get 20 projects done, where 10 devs only finish one.

Though, technically not anyone can access every piece, so I guess we could dismiss it as a thing of the past.

That’s how words work, yes.

The threat of public information for most people is not a data broker, but their neighbor. And unless you have a particularly psychopathic neighbor, they can’t realistically access data from a data broker.

It’s threat modeling like every cyber security. My phone’s password protects me from a random thief, but if a state actor really wants my data, they will get it, but the chances of them even trying are very low for me personally.
