Why would any company dropping $10m+ a year choose to do business with Broadcom after all they've done?

Broadcom is making it very clear they are going to milk every last cent they can out of their customers, so customers should take that as the warning sign it is and abandon ship as quickly as feasible.

We famously don't know what we don't know when it comes to the human brain, so any prediction is more a thing of fairy tales than anything actually based in reality.

Features so good they have to force people to use them.

Doesn't it seem as though the past 10+ years of software development has seen just about everything get worse?

Hardware is increasing in capacity at an insane rate, so of course software efficiency takes a back seat. Under most circumstances, no one notices that it takes slightly longer for unoptimized to run.

Once we plateau ( again ), we'll see a greater push for optimization. These things happen in cycles.

Ah, you misunderstand. I'm not a republican. I'm not MAGA, and I didn't vote for Trump ( point of fact, I have never voted for a major party candidate, ever. Usually I write myself in ).

What I'm doing is correcting false information. Trump was never convicted of rape, and certainly not of child rape. That's a fiction created by his detractors, latched on to and repeated by those of low enough intelligence as to be manipulated into being good little pawns.

You have let your hatred of the man to be used as a tool to manipulate yourself. To put it simply; you played yourself.

Now, here's the funny part; Trump may be the monster you claim he is, but you come off so unhinged that no one would ever believe it coming from you.

Lol, no. Mind you, this is the same state that passed prop 49 decriminizalizing shop lifting under 950, resulting ( shockingly! ) criminals shop lifting up to 950...again and again and again. Take a look at our urban centers to get an idea of how that worked out.

So, a decade later, we voted to recriminalize shoplifting ( something our brilliant gov campaigned *against* mind you ), and the gov has been dragging it's feet on implementation ever since.

So...no. I don't think the state of CA could have figured this out before it got hit with the severe consequences of it's actions. For further proof, look at what our elected officials are doing to gas prices in the state.

Of course we all know that Trump *isn't* a child rapist, but it's a fun talking point. Still, with CA democrats doing shit like this: https://nypost.com/2025/04/29/... you might not want to try thowing that kind of shade.

The democrats should be secretly celebrating this; the ban was always a remarkably stupid virtue signal that was going to come back to bite them. There is no way the state could possibly be ready for the ban in 10 years ( look at their rail project lol ).

The republicans just saved the democrats from themselves. If they're smart they'll bitch, whine and moan but not do anything to try to overturn this.

Lol, sure, keep on believing that. Nevermind my years of experience working in government, assisting at some of the highest levels.

I know what goes on, I've seen it first hand. What I lack is the instinct to defend the malicious incompetence. I think it should be demonized and prosecuted where ever possible.

The question is, why don't you? Too much to lose? See too much of yourself in the fuckups, perhaps?

Those responsible for record retention should be fired and charged ( obstruction? ). They should lose their retirement, as well as any and all privileges that come with the position.

Basically, hold people accountable for their "incompetence", if that truly is what it was. Given the agency in question, I have my doubts.

Sorry, no; they do not get the benefit of doubt.

They are a huge federal agency, funded by public funds. They have a legal obligation to account for their actions. Any discrepancy is to be thought of as malicious first and only, unless proven otherwise.
