Doesn't that mean it's almost twice as fast as PCIe 5 x16?

In the summary, it says "it installed employee-tracking software called TimeCampon Besse's work laptop after it found her assigned files were over budget and behind schedule" so is seems like she wasn't getting her work done? It's entirely possible that the scheduling and budget were wrong, but then that should be a company wide issue, no?
IMO, it seems like a situation where an employee was not getting the work done (with respect to schedule and budget) assigned, they investigated and found that she was not doing what she said she was (which was most likely the reason for missing deadlines, allocation)

Did you even watch Wolf of Wall Street? People who smoke a joint get way harsher punishments than people who destroy hundreds of people's lives (by stealing their savings). Even when they do go to jail... It's like living at a resort.

Ethan Couch (affluenza kid) killed four people. Went to a "facility" with daily horse rides. The punishment should be inversely proportional to the amount of money you have as it is now.

I truly believe that they need to focus on retention. There are ways of doing that are overtly hostile and actually better for your consumer. For instance, they should stop putting their original stuff out all at once. All the other streaming services put out week by week... The audience will end up thanking you for it. I can't remember what happen a year ago in Ozark. I had completely forgotten about it until it showed up in my recommendations. I've heard tons of people say "there's nothing good to watch on netflix" and the "oh! Stranger Things! I love that show"

You can't have discussions with people about a season... people discuss episodes and then try to figure out what's going to happen next week. Binging is fine, but you enjoy a tv show over time.

Personally, I feel that locomotion is a huge barrier to adoption. I haven't yet experienced anything that doesn't give me a pounding headache/make me want to vomit within 5 minutes. Maybe teleportation? But that's not a great experience either.

I've played video games since the early 80s and I've never experienced motion sickness before.

It’s important to note (and I haven’t seen it put this way anywhere) that this situation wasn’t caused by redditors. It was caused by hedge funds over-shorting GameStop and other companies. They created the opportunity and now when “regular” people take advantage of the opportunity, they turn it off to protect the people who have been doing the same shit for decades and getting rich shorting companies into oblivion.

Here's the thing about COVID-19 (and with many other diseases)... nobody actually dies of it. It causes issues that in turn kills the patient. WIth coronavirus, it's usually pneumonia, respiratory failure, some kind of myocardial issue, etc. That's why you hear a lot of people yelling about "my _____ had heart disease and died but they ruled it as coronavirus! It's all a conspiracy!" Yes, your _____ died of a heart complication due to covid-19, that's why it was ruled a covid death.

It's like HIV... nobody has actually ever died of HIV... they died of AIDS (caused by HIV) complications.

Him not leaving doesn't scare me... him calling the election rigged... being forced out... him buying/starting a 24 hours news channel that stokes the flames of deep state rigged election conspiracies... And then what happens when Trump's third of the US sees Biden as illegitimate... that scares me.

One can be responsible TO the public without having to be responsible FOR the public.

Do there need to be metrics?

I would hope that good music could be made on rocks and seashells... I understand that a bunch of people don't think she deserves it... but for me, her album was quite good and if not "worthy"... at least better than all the manufactured shit that came out that year.

And on top of that... if they're the only broadband provider, without Net Neutrality, they can make the streaming services more expensive and then offer their own cable as an alternative.

To put it into perspective, while a lot of people think that Disney bought Fox for X-Men, Deadpool and distribution rights to Star Wars. But they really bought it for The Simpsons. People like things that they know. I always put on something on in the background or if I just want to relax. The Simpsons is the number one reason that Disney paid $71 billion for the company and it's the number one reason I'm subscribing (the other stuff doesn't hurt either).

Didn't the software do exactly what it was supposed to (adjust the trim based on sensor input)? Wasn't it a hardware issue or multiple hardware issues? The first which was that the engine placement would cause the plane to pitch up and the second being that the sensor was malfunctioning.

I play a lot of games, I'm on the internet a lot. I also read books, go to the gym and other "productive" things. But the one crippling addiction that I have is television. I've spent entire days in front of the TV. With Netflix and the ability to binge entire seasons, this has only gotten worse. The second that they have treatment for TV addiction, I'm signing up.
