Now inconceivably vast amounts of highly detailed and personal data on citizens will only go to that one safe place, American corporations. Well, I guess also by extension, the American government. But what are the chances anyone would come to regret that!
Paying to export power seems weird. Usually you're paid to export it? Unless neighbouring states also have a surplus but are more readily able to use cheap/negative rates?
So slave labour is OK in every other product that is imported tariff free into the USA, just not cars?
It's not about "slave labour"., to whatever extent that actually exists. It's a useful thing to shout about but nobody has ever cared about this as long as it means cheap goods.
It's about protecting the car manufacturers. And this is fine, actually! Just be up front about it and say "these tariffs exist and you can't get cheap Chinese cars because we are trying to preserve the American auto makers".
Yeh, I am saying that this should be expressly forbidden. "Only companies with no debt can do buybacks" might be too simplistic but it's probably a better starting point than what we have now.
I think the problem is when buybacks happen with money from debt
If you want to kill competition in an industry, tax it enough that only the large corporations can survive the loss, and add some complicated regulations in for extra effect.
The notion that this is about helping SpaceX kill off their competition is absurd.
This is Musk Derangement Syndrome. The Brandon administration is simply trying think of every way to go after Musk. He pissed them off. He dismantled the branch office of Pravda that the old Twitter was building for The Blob. He fired all of the CIA and FBI spooks on Twitter's payroll, who were busy censoring and shadowbanning anyone who was engaing in wrongspeech. But the worst of it: he has all but explicitly endorsed Trump. Just read his tweets. He's been fully red-pilled. Not a day goes by that he doesn't rag on all of the left's sacred cows: environmentalism, transgenderisms, the illegal alien invasion from all the South American shitholes, et. al.
This is why they're doing this. This is why they have a bunch of lawsuits going against Tesla, for a bunch of bullshit reasons. This is why every time the Brandon administration tries to puff up the US's fledging EV industry they always fluff only Detroit's automakers, and conspicuously ignoring the elephant in the room.
And this is why they're doing this, that's all.
It can run a lot of native apps. You can run a Linux mode on it and install stuff via apt. I don't quite understand how it all works - it's some mutant container/virtualisation thing - but it
It's Linux on the desktop. It's great for SMEs and has tons of enterprise features. Anecdata, but more than half our SME is.ok Chromebook because it's a lightweight, cheap browser focus desktop environment, and we can set up full Linux Firefox on it if needed (we did for a while to run a few websites that needed user side certs, which weren't supported in Chrome at the time, but are now).
It's the most underrated OS out there I think. People are going to blink and it's going to be everywhere - even more than it is now. (I say this as someone very critical of Google for all the usual reasons.)
Hey do you pay for a blue checkmark by any chance? Seems right up your alley
What about OpenSSL, is it available from homebrew? Sounds like it's time to build OpenSSL from source, and link curl to it.
There seems to be an obvious solution to anyone who finds themselves in this boat and needing to use MacOS for some reason: build their own stock version of curl and use that. Did someone mention homebrew?
The surface laptop isn't a hybrid though, it's a standard laptop with a touch screen.
Merit isn't the issue here. They hired on merit, it's just the primary skill they were hiring for overall as a company wasn't engineering.
I commented elsewhere, it's $7000 egress on 100TB of data. That is seriously a rounding error of any operation dealing with that much data. Saying they're holding things hostage is laughable.
Copying 100TB out of azure costs $7000.
If you are storing that much data and $7000 is anything more than a rounding error then you're doing something wrong.
It's even cheaper at $6000 if you're just going through your ISPs link instead of direct to another cloud through msft's network.
