For most of my early life, Intel was about process engineering, not CPU engineering. They were usually a year ahead of other manufacturers so even if their CPU design was lacklustre they could win on the manufacturing process.

Then they lost the lead there and now their problems with CPU designs have caught up with them.

No-one I know on the right want to spy on everyone's phones.

It's a government thing, not a left/right thing. Governments want to spy on everything all the time because they're authoritarian scumbags, regardless of whether they claim to be left-wing or right-wing.

I mean, it's not a right-wing government pushing Digital ID in the UK. It's a left-wing Labour government who claim to be the socialist party of the working man and have been trying to force ID cards on the British people for the best part of thirty years now. Nor is a right-wing EU government pushing software to spy on every private message.

Comment The century without a summer (Score 4, Interesting) 15

A couple of hundred years ago a big volcanic eruption threw masses of dust into the atmosphere and blocked out the sun to the point where there was famine over much of the planet because many food plants couldn't grow.

Now the tech bros want to do that artificially because they're so smart they know exactly how to control the weather.

They're going to kill us all.

"son started working for a Ukrainian energy corporation" Did he siphon money the corporation? Did he sell out Ukraine to Putin? Meanwhile back in the U.S., el Bunko is doing all that and more. Before you think el Bunko is entirely a tool of Putin, he's also a tool of Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud. But he's in good company there since both Putin and bin Salman have no problem whacking their opposition. Just to show he belongs in their league, el Bunko is blowing up boats and people that he claims are ferrying fentanyl to the U.S. from Venezuela. No fentanyl comes to the U.S. from Venezuela, so why the ruse besides that he and Hegseth like killing people who cannot fight back? Venezuela has a lot of yummy oil that el Bunko and his cronies are itching to monetize. And his son-in-law is busy signing up "deals" with the Saudis on the order of billions of dollars.

One of the rules of el Bunko, whenever he does something, look for the trail of bread crumbs back to his pocket.

Google's idea at the time was to use their pull to improve content on the internet, and they started issuing SEO guidelines. They regularly update the guidelines to match whatever they think will be better for the internet, and the SEO consultants follow it like a flock.

It's not entirely wrong, if you have two articles, the longer one is more likely to have more information. As a metric it's easily gamed, and they need to stay on top of that somehow but didn't.

You see, the internet community at large has labeled price tags as “racist”,"

No, I don't see. I think you are full of shit. You found a word like "racist" that you think will get readers attention with no referent behind it.

The "internet community at large" doesn't exist. What exists are silos where people go to see what they believe repeated back to them.

Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Dylan Field, Evan Williams, Gabe Newell, Jay Koum, Larry Fucking Ellison, Zuck, Michael Dell, and Travis Kalanick are all dropouts to name just a few.

None of those people made advancements at the fundamental level. They all paid someone (or stole from someone) who had a college degree to do the advancements.
