Could I be out of touch? No, it's everyone else that is wrong.

There are shitloads of conservatives who made "pedos should die" their primary political identity because they were told that Democrats were pedos. They are having a hard time now.

Except for you. You're pro-pedo.

Comment Re: Micro manager (Score 1) 82

The American president has ties to an enemy state military/intelligence. That is from where he used to receive all of his funding. And you call this micro management? People's feelings about Trump are relevant here. He has no right to speak about this. Just because you hate America, doesn't mean he has the right to destroy it.

The least-harm principle. There's essentially universal agreement that low (dietary-range) levels of lithium are not harmful, while the research as a whole is strongly suggestive of a benefit (but has not yet met the standards of, for example. an EPA regulatory standard for lithium in drinking water). Lithium, at the doses necessary, costs basically nothing, takes seconds to take, and is orders of magnitude away from the levels where potential toxicity symptoms can arise. To me, that's an easy call. Also, Alzheimer's runs in my family, so there's an extra factor weighing on the scale.

That isn't a real thing.

They're transporting ICE agents dressed like Proud Boys in literally the exact same kind of Penske rental truck that the Proud Boys dressed like ICE agents were being transported in, now.

They lied to us for at least the past 12yrs and we formed grassroots information networks to bypass them

You mean toilet research networks?

Once again, the owners of Slashdot are willfully providing aid and comfort to literal Nazis of the past, no doubt in support of the Nazis in the white house. These B!zX clowns are like Elon Musk except without any success or cachet.

You have come up with a whole new prejudice. We do not treat our closest allies like dirt, Trump does. He is not yet dictator for life.

Even by your logic, as long as we are following Trump, we do treat our closest allies like dirt. But more importantly, your logic is incomplete. A real government would have meaningful checks and balances to prevent a new shitty leader from fucking everything up. Ours clearly doesn't, so clearly nobody can trust deals made with us. Of course this was always obvious, for example we have broken literally every treaty we made with the Native Americans we went on to commit genocide against. Nobody should ever have trusted us.

This point really came home in WWII when we delayed entering the war and did a bunch of war profiteering by selling supplies to both sides. We provided critical war materials to the Third Re!ch including metals and fuel. Without us they would have gone nowhere, literally.

It seems like a much more polite to offer incentives to Intel, [...]but it seemed to be yielding good results for as long as it lasted.

What part of what Intel "accomplished" while it was receiving those incentives was yielding good results? They failed at a whole-ass process under those incentives, and laid the foundation for another whole-ass process which is failing right now.

Why is profit not sufficient incentive?

the goal is to support massive data loads from AI, machine learning, edge computing, and even quantum systems

Nonsense. The goal is to have a faster bus. This is great no matter what you're doing with it because you can use fewer lanes to do the same job. All that shit is just buzzwording for attention. Look who it worked on.
