They are understaffing on purpose not only despite the requirements, but because of their desire to not meet them.

This kind of thing can lead to insolvency crises which can affect you.

"If Beijing wanted, they could just send the PLA to occupy Siberia, and Putin couldn't do a thing about it"

China is not stupid enough to tip their hand. They will continue preying on Russia by doing sleazy business with them (like selling them the tires that got their advance stuck in the mud) as long as they can first.

By the metrics Goldman is using the answer is no, America's growth helps growth elsewhere because they are leaning on imports as a primary factor and the US has always been the worlds leading importer of goods. We make a lot of money and spend it out in the world, thus economic growth. This kindof speaks to what "acceptable" is getting at, it's China's protectionist policies that have kept it from being acceptable but also they don't really seem to care?

Whether that metric is worthwhile or correct is where the argument could be.

It's a bit like a jar of jam. You can keep scraping it for a little more for quite a while, but eventually there isn't going to be any useful jam. Then you'll have to buy new jam. This is how depreciation works, you figure out when it's time to buy new jam and write off the "loss" of your asset over that predicted schedule.

Because of the accounting and the second hand market, sending those graphics cards to the dump is going to likely be a bigger net benefit than trying to sell used compute cards with no display output. Most of them aren't ordinary videocards even if the chips in them are basically the same.

What do you do when the deck runs out while building this house of cards?

Na, looks like you were just flat-out wrong.
Compare the charges against him, and the charges against the officer.
Waddy doesn't appear to have ever been charged for the shootings. I think you just made that shit up ;)

So you're not proposing to equal bit flips on 2 computers, you're describing a bit flip's end result mirroring that of a defective piece of hardware that would have been a compared against value- I can buy that.

Again, no, lol.
That only applies for proximate cause theory felony murder.
For the agency theory of felony murder, only the criminals are only responsible for the crimes committed by their immediate accomplices.

In jurisdictions that have any felony murder rule- the agency theory is the overwhelming majority of implementations.
Explained simpler, in the agency theory of felony murder, the following statement is false.

The network hardware usually lasts longer than the servers unless you get unlucky. For example if you bought a Cisco Catalyst 5000 then you only had max 5 years before you probably got rid of it due to y2k issues. (The switches WOULD keep working after y2k, but logging of dates wouldn't work correctly.)

Yeah, that's how it works.

Sure. But is it wrong to refuse to do business with a regressive country? Should a nation be forced to do business with a nation whose goals run counter to their ideals?

1) the US promised to protect Ukraine if they gave up nukes
2) Russia still has nukes

Well I'm not an expert on this, but search results say "Monero, Ravencoin, Vertcoin, and Grin" are all still good to mine with CPU or GPU. Also there's no reason they couldn't introduce another coin or ten.

I've asked, they've told me no every time.

Everything about it helps.
Bigger and slower RAM cells also have larger potentials, harder to flip. Buses and gates have higher voltages, harder to flip.

That being said- small die fast chips can be made reliable in space- but it's much more expensive than just using something really old.

Pretty hard to argue that it wasn't.
The persecution of Jews in Germany certainly predated the war, but the extermination of them very much did not.

The dipshits literally blamed the Jews for the German loss of WW1. You bet WW2 played a role in the rapid acceleration of the persecution into mass murder.

Has to do with- sure. Particularly if done in good faith.
Both Ukraine and Russia are blowing shit up and/or killing innocent people and blaming it on the other side currently. Those are not legal and legitimate acts of war.

And your enablement of criminal activity as long as it's someone you support doing it is worse than disgusting. You're one of the fucking filth that voted Nazis into power because you hated some group of people, and then hid your face when they turned murderous.
You try to pretend like you're the opposite of them, but you're not. You're just too fucking stupid to see how you aren't.
