My point is that the microSD Pro cards exhibited their first error after half again more cycles, on average, than the "high endurance" cards, suggesting that the high endurance cards might actually have lower endurance than Pro cards, which is... unexpected. The Pro cards, IIRC, do more wear leveling than the standard cards. I have no idea whether high endurance cards do more wear leveling, have a lower number of levels per cell, have more spare cells, or something else entirely.

... to screw over the company, he should have purchased an enterprise VMWare license. And then negotiated a cloud contract with Oracle.

Like every f*cking business demands that I put my phone number on checks, on-line forms and every other thing before they will do business with me.
Just use a credit card or phone pay, you say? They already have your phone number attached to your account and will hand it over to every merchant (or person claiming to be one) that asks.

My trick: The phone number I give out is a land line. Have fun uploading your crappy app to a Western Electric Model 2500. My cell phone does nothing but make voice phone calls. There is no 2FA, BitCoin trading password or other shit on it.

Looking forward to when the high endurance cards finally reach the 1% failure state so that we can find out whether these things really are better than the standard cards. So far, the first failure of SanDisk High Endurance was *way* earlier than SanDisk Pro, on average, so I won't be surprised if it turns out that the whole high endurance thing is a scam.

Repetition does not necessarily lead to comprehension. After all ...

500 million poor Indians just burned down your cities in protest. How are your carbon emissions now?

How many years do they have to work there before they get the bonus? Because $10 million is more than enough to retire, even in the Silicon Valley. So they can probably assume that most of these engineers will work there until the bonus pay date, and then retire and do whatever they want to do instead of what someone else tells them to do.

After all, most engineers are driven less by money and more by wanting to do cool stuff. If they have enough money to be able to only do cool stuff and never have to worry about money again, why would they want more money? Why would they choose to do what other people want them to do, when they can do the even cooler stuff that they want to do?

Bonuses that big tend to be counterproductive.

Also, a lot of lawyers will work on contingency.

In general, the court you file in can be either the court where one of the two parties is or the court where the event occurred. As the weaker party and the plaintiff, it would take serious legal finagling for the choice of venue to not be yours. So you could file in your own local court.

All but Naloxone. What right do you have to intefere with another's decision to die?

The nice thing about exploding on the pad is that they should be able to do a proper failure analysis, complete with being able to X-ray the fragments of the failed components, because they can locate them all. :-)

That's where you get a libel judgement in the court where you live against both the company that got the first judgment and the credit agency that approved it. Clearly, someone who does not even know your correct birthdate is not you, and any credit agency involved clearly must have conspired in that fraud, so the preponderance of evidence is clearly in your favor. Thus, absent something you're not telling us, such as video footage of you providing a false birthdate, it should be trivial for you to get a civil judgment against them.

If everyone did this every time they got scammed, a lot of things would improve.

Notify who? The people whose resumes have been borrowed? What are they going to do?

Notify the prospective employers? Maybe. But FBIs counterintelligence unit doesn't typically operate to build court cases. Most of the evidence they accumulate is inadmissible due to the methods of collection. They are more interested in watching foreign ops.

So you're saying that the new Starship is basically a V2, as well, but it is exploding prematurely? :-D

There are considerably more iOS phones in the U.S. market. Their market share hovers around 60% +/- 3.
