yall realize how unsustainable that is over decades, and how its promoting slavery right?

Or the opposite. If they can detect which are bots and humans, most humans can detect this also.

However, you can easily claim that "all this is just bots" to discredit the opponent these days, if you're the one in control of the source. Heck its disinformation 101.

Now, I'm not saying being conscientious about the environment is bad. IIRC though, the climate accords are just sponsoring other countries and a not a good deal for the US. You can be better at caring for the environment without going through these accords.

They're discriminatory against the rest of the galaxy. This cannot be allowed to stand.

because universities also have quotas and affirmative action its still biased, so people tend to compare to population average.. but of course these comparisons are based on skin color and sex, not diversity of thought or anything like that, which is hard to measure.

at the end of the day you get more money and a better title so you do not refuse it

The tens of thousand votes without a single one for trump seem absolutely like fraud to be honest. You can see the spikes on the official graphs too. Doesn't mean Trump should win or lose, and doesn't mean republican don't have fraud problems either.

I think each side just reads the news they want to believe and ignore things regularly or get mad. Except both side really lose when these things happen. I.e. the citizens lose every time as they lose faith in the process, news, country in general.

its the same problem for the whole internet. its just annoying when its stuff you like that gets censored.

Youtube is censored. Github is censored. Google search is censored. Bing is censored. Facebook is censored. Twitter is censored. Paypal and most payment providers censor too. Banks do it too. The list goes on and on and on.

Note that I believe it's fine to remove illegal materials. But youtube-dl isn't. When all services are owned by big corp and near monopoly with no way to find alternative, the censorship is pretty pretty bad.

im doubtful about these stats to be honest. Retail probably includes far too much so that Amazon doesn't look like too much of a duopoly with ebay.

A lot of the time ive seen things where you get +1 head count as a manager IF it contributes to diversity targets. The more head count you have the more "power" you have regardless of their skill, granted that your team can mostly deliver.

This also backs the rock star theory: If you have 2 rock stars that can bring 100x value, then you can afford 10 other head counts that don't really do much (yes there's caveats such as slowing the rock stars down I guess). Of course, the reality is more diluted than this.

I agree with some of your points and disagree with some. (Hey that's a good start for a conversation isn't it?)

- Shortage of talent => yep, it's just like you say/

- Wokeness => this does affect employees if they're white and male, because you are less likely to be promoted due to your skin color and what's dangling between your legs, especially for leadership positions. While you mention money, promotions aren't just about money. It's about impact and passion too, especially with "rock stars" or anyone who actually likes and cares about the work they do.

- Money => No, money matters. At some point you gotta retire, because the older you get the slower you get (despite everyone telling you otherwise, it's a lie of course). If you work in the silicon valley / bay area, maybe you even dream about buying a house. Good luck with that if you make 200k/year. If you're making millions, yeah, 20%, who cares.

- Google, FB, etc. pay more than most companies and has perks. Check levels.fyi, its pretty accurate overall. I know plenty of people who would go work nearly anywhere if the pay was much higher. Again, if they all made millions already they wouldnt care. But they don't.

Its 400 ppl according to the now-deleted CDC article https://www.discovermagazine.c...
(that's 0.0008%)

I think its fine actually. the 3080 is great and most people will buy this. I probably will. That means only people that really want to pay way more for a little bit more performance will get the 3090 and that's fine.

It would bother me more if they didn't release a 3080 and your choice was 1500USD or get an old gen card ;-)

Same reason the president can't just go and arrest all rioters - they're not allowed to do so.

Note, regarding airplanes I'm pretty sure Airbus surpasses Boeing by a far margin. It's not China based, but also not US based.

China leads in manufacturing of tech hardware. Drones, phones, displays, etc.
