HPE is not HP. Do not confuse them. HPE was spun off into a completely separate company ages ago and has no business relationship or ownership relationship (different stock tickers etc) , decades ago.
The thing is , Switzerland was always stuffed to the gills with germans, french and italians. I've never met a more multilingual people than the swiss.
Its always the same kicking post too, "It must be the immigrants". I had someone ranting to me the other day about how she didnt feel safe anymore and crime was thru the roof blah blah no go zones, No matter what statistics I showed her that in fact crime had consistently been dropping over 20 years and the days while certain parts of town in the 1970s and 1980s you where taking your life into your own hands entering, in 2026 those areas are mostly gentrified luxury appartments, and so on, she just wouldnt believe any of it, and its all "The immigrants are making crime!" (despite the fact that consistently immigrants are significantly lower in representation in crime stats than locally born folks).
Some people just refuse to think it over. In the end I really had to just disengage from the conversation because any data that disproves her paranoia she just takes it as evidence that people are lying using maths or something. I honestly don't how do you get someones brain unstuck from a rut like that? At a certain point, its just exasperating their crazy to even try.
Yes, I'm sure humanity's 21st century understanding of physics, despite things like the crisis in cosmology, dark matter, US military footage, etc, is fully accurate and is the absolute limit of reality's capabilities.
Its not a matter of thechnology, its a matter of physics. Assuming that humanity survive its currently self destructive trajectory and we are still around in a million years, the laws of physics will not magically change. The speed of light will still be a hard limit, both for us, and for anybody else in the universe.
The crisis in cosmology and dark matter have no bearing on this. Both the actual composition of dark matter , nor the correct value for the cosmological constant are completely independent variables to the speed of light. The resolution of these issues will not change the fact that the speed of light places hard limitations on the impossibility of casual visitation from distant stars.
Eh. Despite initial fears in 1990s about reproduction on the internet devaluing originals, copyright law and enforcement largely settled on the idea that that people posting images etc on forums and social media was largely harmless particularly if credit was given, but people using them commercially required payment. and that was an arangement that largely suited artists fine and largely ran as much on principle as legality until the AI bro's turned up and started just stealing art to transform into slop undercutting that whole agreement.
If it was a real currency, it losing value would generally be considered a positive. It means the sale of a good would earn more of the stuff. But this is where the bullshit hits the road. Its not a currency, nobody is using it to facilitate economic trade. Its just a shitty ponzi token. And the favor of the market has moved on from Dunning Krugerands to AI slop.
I wouldnt underestimate the complexity of an MMO. They are genuinely some of the most complicated software assemblages ever created, and usually involve teams of hundreds of people working for upwards of a decade just to get a beta out the door.
Creating a cloned server is a hell of an achievement.
Eh. I think he's a miserable c*** but oh well.
It'd be fun to be that rich, but it seems to do a number on peoples head to be that divorced from the grinding reality of regular folks.
If an invading army has been running genocidal ethnic cleansing on your own soil, then I'd argue that the gloves are off.
Imagine if , say, mexico invaded the united states (Hear me out, its a hypothetical). Would you be offended if the US responded with strikes on mexico? No you would not.
How is this different? Evil can not be tolerated. Ukraine has every right in the world to do whatever it takes, to defend her citizens, including retaliatory strikes.
Maybe? But it seems like its just more in line with the "californian landmarks" naming scheme , which they adopted after running out of big cats to name OSX releases after.
Am I a bad person for somewhat enjoying the way crypto bros and AI bros seem to prey on each other. A fool and their money, and all of that.
It just seems like the worst people are all out to steal from each other. Fine, just leave my boomer parents out of it.
