I work in an office where there are approximately ten Windows based computers and approximately 700 Mac Minis (plus a few dozen MacBook Pros). I can picture the office picking up laptops instead going forward, especially if we ever entertain WFH again.
This is some AI slop generated summary of the article. While the article says "$144 million", the AI slop changed it to "a hundred and $44 million".
Came here to complain about that wording as well.
Until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Who said they were working in the first place?
I wasn't aware Nov. 1st, 2027 is three years away.
The aforementioned judge's decision came in October of 2024.
That is a great analogy. Next time someone brings it up in person conversation, I think I'll use it.
Thanks
Agreed.
You're really going to waste your and taxpayers' dollars to challenge a law like this in the state that requires just about everything to have a Prop 65 warning on it? Like, it's a long, running joke that people wear T-shirts with the Prop 65 warning on them because it's so prominent. You think you've got a fighting chance against this law in that state when so many products get a Prop 65 warning that don't really merit it?!
It's like it's 1999 all over again.
More like, "It's like March 1994 all over again."
If champagne grapes don't grow in your region, switching to sparkling apple cider, is kinda the point here. Being recalcitrant and "saying see see muh chocolate bar costs more this isn't working," is rather missing the point entirely.
[pedantic] Champagne is not a type of grape, it is a very specific region of France. Champagne as you're thinking of, is a sparkling wine only made in the aforementioned region, typically made with pinot noir, pinot meunier, and chardonnay grapes as the primary grape and various yeasts giving it its specific bubbles. So if a sparkling wine comes from anywhere other than Champagne, France, it is not champagne, merely sparkling wine. [/pendantic]
I vote to call them the Sardaukar.
That would imply they're elite...
...maybe an informed public is now realizing that government economic data has always been unreliable?
...what US public are you referring to as "an informed public"? As someone with a general public facing job in the US, I can assure you that the general population is not well informed.
Think pharmaceuticals, where you very much care about the pedigree of the ingredients that go into them.
Yeah...about that...a large plurality (48%) of the world's pharmaceuticals come from India. Next largest slice of the pie isn't the US, it's Europe (as a block, so kind of cheating) with 22%, then China with 13%, and then the US with 10% (remainder 7% comes from other nations). In the US alone, more than 10% of pharmaceuticals come from India. The US's pharma exports are a paltry 94.39 billion USD and imports on pharma are 212.67 billion USD, so acting like the US is the big powerhouse of reliable pharma feels disingenuous.
Your points about US exports often requiring a high degree of skill, education, and sometimes a trusted supply chain (referencing the trackers in the nVidia shipments for example), sound legitimately valid. Throwing the pharmaceutical example in there seems to (to my reading, at least) diminish those points.
Who still cares about his linux?
The United States Department of Defense, the United States Navy, the nation of Iceland, Ernie Ball, the world's most valuable retailer, London Stock Exchange, and many more, just to name a few...
Yes. That was my point. That's why it was listed in list of examples of major infrastructure providers becoming a bank or a bank-like institution.
Wells Fargo has always been a bank.
