Since when did Trump want to help the US job market? This is just another grift either for him directly or for one of his billionaire handlers - they can claim they're "on-shoring" manufacturing without having to pay for US workers (and, I imagine, without meeting US safety and environmental requirements).

It's also unclear exactly what this is supposed to accomplish with regards to the "critical minerals" mentioned. From the summary, at least, it seems likely the administration doesn't have a plan in that regard either - they're simply hoping some company will figure out a way to accomplish it, and that having this space out of the mainland US somehow aids that effort.

"Blank? BLANK?! You're not looking at the big picture!!" - That Guy

Did this occur before or after Trump announced crippling tariffs on Chinese goods? (hint - the answer isn't "before")

"... and bikini pics."

Hey if it shifts people off Windows... this is a sort of "winning" I could actually get behind!

Well, see, here's the real deal.

The problem is, some interns were verly late for a couple hearings - so they were running down a hall in the capitol. These kids were carrying large boxes of photos - some with evidence that UFOs exist and do anal probing, others with explicit Epstein photos. Well, the first intern tripped... which then sent most of the others to the floor as well. All the UFO and Epstein photos are now mixed together, and they're having a hard time figuring out which belongs to which set.

Weird thing is, Trump appears in both sets of photos.

They'll be a perfect match for the Vision Pro, then!

A narcissistic sociopath like Zuck will certainly define how his AI avatar sounds and acts, and no one will tell him otherwise.

It's like Trump - from his comments, it's quite obvious he doesn't think he looks like the overweight 80-year-old man with thinning hair and crepe-y skin that we all see.

They weren't trying to kill him... they're just conflict-inclined.

This is the first TIOBE story we've seen in several months! Which editor has been out sick?

"Rust" was that movie where, during the filming, Alec Baldwin fired a live round from a prop gun that killed the movie's cinematographer.

Well, there's also the lap-cooking advantage... as in ARM devices don't.

I have an M3 MacBook Air from work, while my personal laptop is a 2020 Intel MacBook Pro. That Intel Mac routinely gets too hot to be comfortable sitting on my lap, while the M3 Air barely even gets warm running the same applications via Rosetta emulation.

Is there actually a significant market of people who really care that their TV can display 100% of the color space versus, say, 93% or whatever? This just seems like another manufacturer sales gimmick, like 3-D or 8K.

Obligatory IT Crowd.

Washington state privatized liquor sales a number of years ago. Overall it's been a plus in terms of what's available and convenience... but it didn't decrease the price, because the government piled on the taxes. There were two arguments given for this: 1) They were concerned about lost revenue, even though we're basically talking about a blip in the overall state budget; and more importantly 2) they were wringing their hands over possible increased consumption driven by the lower prices.
