The U.S. protected top national security secrets a bit differently back in the day. I suspect they initially fooled Mr. Lazar, but he wised-up somewhere along the way and has been milking this thing for all its worth.
I want to create a culture of innovation empowerment.
That's desperate, corporate BS speak. So sad. What happened to you, Intel?
Should the ultra wealthy become concerned about their security teams, the rest of us will have had bigger problems long before that. The case for building bunkers is the same as during the Cold War-- to buy time and hope for the best. It's the worst-case scenario for them and everyone else.
The most powerful people in the world see themselves as utterly incapable of actually creating a future in which everything's gonna be OK.
Our species has buggy features; we tend to promote and be led by those who score high in opportunistic sociopathic traits.
The Rich will become quite edible.
I dunno. You might be able to eat some of them, but not the ones you really want. Today's ultra wealthy have security/intel teams comprised of former SEALs, Delta operators, Secret Service, etc, and can move anywhere/anytime in the world they want (along with their wealth). They have eyes/ears everywhere and are pretty much untouchable.
I don't know what their idea is why "enabling up to 400 miles of range" is something that has yet to be done. There are multiple vehicles being sold with > 400 mile range, Tesla Model S for one (410 mile EPA). It is all a question of how big of a battery do you want to install.
I think they should've worded it as "LMR can deliver ~30% more range and at lower cost." Which is great and all, but I was kinda hoping for more of a breakthrough by then.
If there's a possible silver lining to this whole shitshow it's that the GOP as we've known it since Reagan could implode.
Don't hold your breath. They mutate and evolve; their gullibility and hate will outlive all of us. Trump's first term was thought to be aberration in American politics, following by Biden being a revert to mean. But here we are. I think we're in a new era of malignant stupidity.
Not only do I work more than paid hours, but I am always available. If people need me, I will work no matter what time of night or on the weekend. If I'm forced to go into an office than I get a lot more resistant to off hours work because that time is easily already burned in the commute.
If anything, WFH drives my competitive spirit. I make it my mission to be more productive than anyone whose time management involves sitting in traffic.
All white collar jobs will devolve into managing the bots.
And one of the threats of AI is human enfeeblement. Pretty sure that's where this is headed.
In my neck of the woods, white-collar Trump voters are pissed about their 401Ks while the under-educated blue-collar crowd and retirees are doubling-down because he's pissing everyone else off, so he must be doing something right.
I would not be surprised if Trump reaches out to Russia for these materials in exchange for lowering sanctions.
You should be scared. When the alt-right succeeds here in the U.S., "Brexit" is coming for your union next. Then we all get to relive the early 20th century.
Pro-Trump people, from what I have observed, seem to fall into two categories: (1) females who are horrible judges of character, confusing narcissism with confidence and Machiavellianism with leadership. (2) men who score high in sociopathic/narcissistic traits, much like the president.
And funny enough, group #1 often gets into abusive relationships with group #2.
It's like America is going through some kind of Dumb Girl phase in its history.
If tariffs result in great economic harm to the Chinese people, the CCP is not going to go down without a fight. Right now Trump has everyone divided and distracted on many fronts-- both foreign and domestic. History tells us conditions are ripe for war. Depending on how fast things deteriorate, you may want to buy your motherboard and CPU upgrade soon. Tariffs would be the least of your concern; you could lose access to where they are made.
Apple can build their highly automated factories here in the U.S. and continue to have everything else done overseas. Donald Trump is a simple animal: he has a pathological need to tell everyone that individuals, companies, and countries are kissing his ass. As long as you don't run afoul of his persecution complex, he has demonstrated that he can be bought cheap.
The CCP is betting on Democracy, funny enough. They're betting Americans will finally get off their asses and demand action from their GOP representatives as soon as the PAIN starts being felt.
Is your job running? You'd better go catch it!
