Amen! They should let underlings rate bosses also. While it shouldn't be the main criteria for management evaluations, it should be a consideration.

Solar power is free. Hydrogen makes for fairly decent storage once you solve the 'bleeds through most anything' part.

Hell, I get a refund check from my municipal power company every year, right here in California. Do you?

I haven't seen a power loss unless it involved a vehicle smashing into something that affects power distribution. I've been here nearly 2 decades.

always happens.

the tech giants making the biggest AI investments are fueling their ambitions by cash on hand -- not loading up balance sheets with debt.

They are using their increased hype-supported stock price.

They're working on tangible technology that has actual orders behind it...

Let's see the actual orders. If you give it away for free (to gain market share) then demand will indeed appear, but what about when the subsidies dry up?

the current enterprise-to-sales ratios are also much lower than those of the dominant companies in the late 1990s.

Because as mentioned, many existing companies are behind the AI boom, and they have enterprise value from other products. Since most don't published their AI revenue or bundle it, it's possible it's embarrassingly small.

That's why it's called work and not fun time. You trade your physical well-being and/or your mental well-being for pay.

Some of us set smaller limits because we have 64GB in our system and don't want 32GB of tmp if something goes bananas.

You don't think policies like VAT on private school fees and pushing up business taxes instead of personal ones play well with the typical Labour voter?

They're cratering in the polls anyway for a host of other reasons, and I suspect Starmer is already toast anyway for a host of other reasons (though it's significantly harder in practice for Labour to replace a leader they're not happy with than it is for the Tories), but I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest that some of these policies are being chosen because of their political alignment.

Oddly, last time I was at an obscure hipster restaurant (well, bar, really) in Brooklyn, they ONLY took cash.

These clowns have been around for over 20 years, always promising and never delivering.

If they want to make their machine noisy they should use straight cut gears and omit the sound deadening asphalt. Then it will be loud as shit all the time, without having to pipe in any fake noise bullshit.

Quiet is one of the best things about EVs. Being able to hear the other noises the car makes is actually useful, unlike this crap.

If a more powerful quantum computer can be built, then it could do that. But there's no evidence thus far that an actually useful one can be built.

No, they used to seem etc. I haven't seen a decent black friday deal in years.

This is nonsense, they cannot create a bubble now, because they have already created a bubble. "Some" need to catch up with where we were months to years ago. At least it's safe to predict that something which is already happening will happen... yeah, we know, we can see it.

...to horny jail me...
