Also Dresden already has fabs owned by GlobalFoundries which were fabs for AMD before they were spun off, so Germany and Dresden in particular make a lot of sense.

At least a role model to the MAGA types: bigoted lying* anti-LGBTQ+ lout.

* Claims to be a founder of Tesla. Balderdash.

Which period are you referring to? They've always had an authoritarian gov't.

I will give China's gov't credit for putting R&D into solar and EV tech. They take a lot of guff for the coal thing, but since they don't have many petroleum fields, they arguably get a pass. They are on track to move away from coal in a few decades.

... "surgery" together, please. Gives me the heebies.

Correction: "somebody's".

The accusation alone can ruin somebody'd life.

medieval castles spiral clockwise so attackers coming up the stairs can't use their sword arm - which is normally the right arm

So to take down a castle, send in your best lefties.

Such may injure the Epstein Perps; can't do that, they are the Chosen Ones.

Xi, if you have the Epstein Files that Don is hiding, please send them over.

Just tell her to buy you a nice shirt. Then when she visits make sure to wear it. She'll appreciate it at lot and if you're anything like me she has better fashion sensibilities and will pick out something nice. One or two new shirts per year is enough to maintain a wardrobe. Your mom is going to want to get you something regardless of you having outgrown birthday or Christmas presents decades ago and their wiring will make them disappointed if you tell them to stop.

Mom is happy that she gets to give a thoughtful gift even if baby is all grown up and if you're like me you'll be grateful that it saves you the time having to look for new clothes yourself. Maybe it's unthinkable when you're younger, but clothes for Christmas is the biggest win-win I've ever stumbled into. Younger readers can double dip and get socks and underwear from grandma.

The upper management at Microsoft is stupid enough to do that, but it won't fix their problems. They have some valuable IP that can sell millions of copies, but they bought a lot of past-their prime studios and have stuffed them with even more bloat to try to churn out sequels faster. Either they never read or understand the Mythical Man-Month. The people are n charge have no real understanding of games' development and treat like something akin to a factory job that can be scaled by adding more lines and workers.

Letting (or making) the developers use AI might make them more productive, but if the only thing it does is allow them to churn out uninspired crap that no one wants to play faster than otherwise, it won't fix their revenue problem. It'll only allow the gradual decline to go on for a bit longer.

Some weak sauce AI will decide who is an enemy

At least bots will have more training than ICE.

(As somebody else noted, old-style bombs are not good at discerning either.)
