The old deal with Iran was terrible, terrible, terrible and would have left the IRGC with a nuke in about 10 years. You can criticize the current plan all you want, but that deal was absolutely a cynical "I won't be in office when the bomb goes off in a western city" deal.

Against my better judgement, I fell for their trick for my personal domain and put it on google about 10 years ago (that has 5 users on it, all family). I will be looking to move off it, as it's clunky with outlook anyway, and I want family calendars to actually work, and it's clear they don't want to keep us free users.

It's just a matter of wanting to torch a day of my life to decide and rehost and wanting to land on a host that isn't going to make me keep migrating, but just take a little money every year to keep it.

Trump is doing all in his power to fight for the little guy including stopping foreign H1B1 Visa holders.

The democrats care about the foreignors. Not us!

It's so nuts. Between datacenters increasing demand and our state laws in WA making us close some of our plants, our energy costs are going up like 15% PER YEAR. I can't wait until I get my new garage built so I can cover that roof with solar to at least offset some of my usage. I think energy is going to keep going up, up, up. Hedging your use is going to pay off.

This is why Monopolies and Oligopolies SUCK.

They lobby the governments of the world to not be held accountable and it is in their best interest to limit production to raise demand. Without competitors why should they lower supplies or increase capacity?

Infact, the mem makers got busted3x times for price fixing in the past 25 years! Micron or Hynix even stated they do not want to increase production in case the AI fad dies and they are suck with an abundance of supply.

The US also has a far right wing government now where nvidia, sumsung, and others paid for Trumps ballroom when the East Wing was demoed so the FCC won't do anything now. ... money well spent.

Well the demand for RAM is due to clouds providers buying blades.

Besides memory they also need SSDs to boot and run programs.

There is a massive shortage of doctors,and we can not affrord to train and hire more.

To expand care with the same money, we have to innovate and let technology help us scale the very expensive and rare humans we have.

The question isn't "would it be better to have a highly trained radiologist take the first pass or an AI?" The question is, would I rather screen 100 women with a 90% accuracy rate (human) or 1000 women with an 85% accuracy rate (AI).

I also believe you can continually train the AI to get better at "first pass" inspections, vs humans are potentially as good as they'll get and any improvement in quality of detection might be very marginal.

or even more worse... it's a feature, not a bug

They just did. Jobs are still being created.

A recovery more like it

First off AI needs to sit in a desk and be watched for productivity. How do we know they are really working if we don't badge swipe and see them?

AI needs full collaboration and creativity that hallway moments and using shared poopy toilets, which brings in that real company value. It can't happen.

Just ask any pointless HR rep or CEO on this?!

10k MILES in the US for many makes and models is being recommended, and it's too long.

In enthusiast communities, we've seen that 5K miles (ie, around 10k kilometers) drastically reduces engine issues over the long haul.

Same, unless I'm using up some credit card points, I just book directly with the airline and the hotel as much as possible. They will generally bend over backwards to help direct book people before they do whatever they can for those who booked third party.

Exception, at work we use AMEX travel, and they get stuff done for us. I assume that because they represent so many large company travelers and they negotiate for good rates, but aren't the ones going for the $40/night room specials the hotels and airlines offer them good cancellation policies.

I am sure my dedicated 5080 with cuda can run circles around your mac

We are also (I assume) college educated professionals. Not the guys with hs diplomas being fired for being 4 minutes late from their potty break at Walmart where they are treated like kids and can't have their phones out etc. all for 35k a year.

These are American statistics of course. Terrible management who are a different breed rule blue collar jobs. It goes back to slavery and class structure for these roles.

Only 25% are college educated. Terrible work environments motives my education
