Even there they improve automation if it makes sense. Its not always a cost of labour, but managing error rates,

There have been some calls for Intel to reorganise into separate chip development and chip fabrication divisions or businesses.

Note, Intel had previously designed StrongARM and XScale lines, but sold them off.

Is the choice "Golden Gate" a way to appease Trump? Sounds like a combination of grifting and a certain arch...

Its like software patents. Its not the patents that are good, but the incentive to work around them.

I would so love to be able to make it so Meta stops shoving AI in my face. I don't want it and if they can't pay for the compute resources, then I am not going to help them justify the expense.

Makes me think of Boxee and why I never used it.

Then again you wouldn't have unionised workers if they were being treated fairly in the first place?

And it is for reasons like this we donâ(TM)t want age verification as a core requirement for operating systems.

And US companies sell off their renewable technology IP to China, because they arenâ(TM)t getting the investor or government support in the US. This leads to a furthering of Chinese strength, while US businesses build and lobby for a world that is 20-30 years in the past.

Which regime? The current Iranian one, the one running is Israel or the one running the US right now? They are all kinda crap quite honestly. At this point Israel's and Iran's leaders are probably competing for body count. Iran it is is its own people and Israel its the Palestinians, which they treat as scum.

Certainly not Java blood, unless we are talking the blood of the developers writing software or the black stuff that comes from grinding a few beans and adding liquid to them.

Maybe, but then maybe they shouldn't price it as if it was ownership? I'd even argue that if publishers don't provide a way to self-host a server, then they should be required to keep their servers running for 4 years after the final sale of the full price of the game or refund the "purchase" fee.

We are moving to an economy where if you aren't in the 1%, then everything will be a few months wage. This is definitely a case where a US administration was doing everything to increase prices, intended or not. Its what happens when you let a monkey and his buffoons run a system that requires understanding of consenquences.

Everything requires maintenance. Hopefully the repair equipment can be migrated to hybrid and then fully electric in the coming years. It’s going to take years, given the investment, but when oil is politically risky and environmentally risky, then there are incentives to move beyond it.

Who remembers with fondness the McBride times? Ah the shit show that was.
