There's been a lot of layoffs. Where are we seeing actual job growth? It's hard to detect since the press often ignores hiring sprees but still reports layoffs.

In terms of ubiquity, yes. Intel did stuff the channel with a lot of downmarket 10nm/Intel 7 junk. Hard to say if that's what's really affecting Steam survey results though.

And? You don't just buy AMD for a "big powerful gaming rig". An old 5800X3D is the best deal in old CPU tech going if you can find one (which is difficult to do). And AMD sold the hell out of the 3600/3600X.

Maybe, but it really shouldn't have taken this long.

The last truly dominant desktop CPU Intel produced was the 9900k. The last competitive gaming CPU they produced was the 12900k. The 13900k and 14900k destroy themselves, and the 285k was too little/too late. Gotta wonder why Intel still has so much representation on the Steam Survey?

The linked study indicates that chronic users of caffeine in amounts over 400mg per day are more likely to develop high blood pressure and or experience cardiac arrest/other related problems. I didn't dig into whether they screened for pre-existing conditions. There's also the possibility that some people who don't have obvious cardiac conditions could be pushed over the edge by caffeine in a way we don't yet understand.

In any case there was a nonzero number of study participants for whom large regular doses of caffeine were not safe.

Bawls is barely even sold anymore. Ghost, Reign, and Celcius seem more common.

Nah, it's 6mg of straight-up nicotine in a flavored pouch. No actual tobacco. It still tastes pretty nasty, at least according to the people I know that use such things.

Zyn is getting pretty aggressive with their marketing.

There's a daily recommended limit on caffeine for a reason. Anything over 480 mg per day (and perhaps 400mg per day) has been shown to exacerbate heart problems.

Not solar panels they haven't. And exactly what is it that China is manufacturing in Africa now? It's be interesting to see what's being built there.

the = them, good = goods

feh

Subsidies, scale, and access to raw materials/cheap energy to get the started (mostly coal). China has been building the infrastructure for mass manufacture of good for the last 40 years, while most of Africa has not. Not to speak of issues with worker discipline and China having effective slave labor.

H1-Bs aren't affected by anything happening on the border, nor are they affected by mass deportations.

Not on the same cost basis as Chinese manufacturers.
