Since when did product longevity matter?

The more computers can replace humans the more they will replace humans.

The ideal business has no workers. Humans are expensive, unreliable, easily corrupted, lie, cheat and steal and are frequently incompetent.

It's silly to trust other nations with one's data because the nation one made friendly arrangements with can replace the administration you trusted and purge its appointees.

Europe should not want any but FOSS because proprietary software only belongs to its creator. To use it is submission to its owners. The cost to European governments to code any software required is a trifle compared to relying on the kindness of their enemies.

No non-corrupt reasons exist to want the shackles of proprietary software. That's like wanting proprietary speech.

No, he concluded that in 2024 when his not-democratically-selected candidate, a correctly-colored woman whose political career began with blowjobs to a very powerful West Coast mayor - a last minute "fuck you" by Mr Biden to the party that abandoned him - got whomped by an odious, blowhard NY property developer whose multi-year vilification 2016-2020 turned him from a publicity-seeking opportunitist into a hardened "opponent to everything leftist", made fantastically easier by the lefts own purity-spiral politics, driving even moderate leftists and EVERY SINGLE US DEMOGRAPHIC ASIDE FROM WHITE WOMEN to swing their votes rightward.

This just gives him a chance to complain about it again.

It's also a sociopathic one.

That it's SOP doesn't make it any less so, but rather an indictment against our capitalism-first culture.

It's called a private cloud, it's not rocket surgery, we were doing clustering with machines with only dozens of MHz clock speeds and less RAM than most modern embedded platforms back in the nineties.

Since when did employees matter?

They've had 22 years to figure this out, but now it's a crisis requiring a rush mission because nobody thought it was important enough to do something a year ago, or five, or ten.

Good luck on the June launch, and best wishes for a successful mission!

I'm sure he does but so do the hordes that can't grow food. It's a numbers game as they say.

I'm amused at how petty that billionaire's make-money-fa$t schemes are. Selling steaks? Tennis shoes? Bibles?

What other billionaire does this to get richer?

Vibe coding aside, why are these applications even allowed to run on the local systems, let alone gain LAN access let alone Internet access? Seems like the IT department needs to be locking down these computers so random applications can't be installed without first being approved by IT.

Even without vibe coding, users shouldn't be able to just install whatever they want whenever they want and these applications most certainly shouldn't be allowed Internet access. This sounds like multiple layers of security fail and vibe coding is just exposing it.

Ah, binary.

I would say I expect more from CNN but who are we kidding. They'll publish anything that might get them clicks. No different then Fox or NBC.

50 years ago the problem was just starting. Globalization makes local problems global problems. Also, even 50 years ago, what happened in America still had ripple effects across the globe. 80 years ago Europe was causing a lot of problems, but then most of us were not alive then. I'm quite sure my grandparents were not able to just ignore Europe's problems 80 years ago.

No man is an island, as they say. Even islands aren't immune to global affairs.
