Trump has named bezos directly as an enemy in more than one tweet and has denigrated Amazon &the Washington Post directly because they are Bezos-owned entities and has said as much. Cut the bullshit.

Agreed. It's just sad that a mag that runs stories on Kennedy conspiracy theories and rat boy stories runs cover for a reality show dolt that has his hands on the nuke codes, and half the U.S.electorate cheers that on. Real life is far

The owner is a Trump affiliated scumbag who ran "catch and kill" cover for Donald during the primaries. These people are so moronic and unethical. I can't wait for this era of American Idiocracy to be over.

Change is good though, change is the only constant. Better to be in a state of flux than a static, dead-end field where time stands still.

Im down there with you and want to take a peek upstairs. Im tired of being stuck in 1985. You've banged one bit, you've banged a billion.

There already are import taxes on "crap" like electronic components. Browse around digi-key for "tariff pending" or "tariff applied". All its doing is making bills of material more expensive.

Agreed. I'm just wondering if they followed some theoretical schema or just responded to evolutionary forces. Most likely the latter.

I wonder if when these processors were developed, from a hardware standpoint, did the engineering team contemplate Turing completeness and the theory of computation, or just try to satisfy a set of perceived customer needs.

There is however, a "smash-and-grab" phrase in the US which fits your imagery perfectly.

Money, I can understand. Under bayesian analysis, your better off going into medical studies, though. Prestige...well... In my dads day, working at IBM would've earned great prestige. On graduation day for me, working at Microsoft woul

When? There is a glut of global capital and a 90 year+ history that shows the market grows at 7 percent annually. What contravening data do you have?

Reminds me of the old phrase, re: academia: "The competition is so high because the stakes are so low." There is something really weird, at least to me, in working so extraordinarily hard to prove yourself worthy of serving someon

What are your thoughts on D or Rust as they compare to C++?

Those are ones that get me. Older but educated, intelligent people pushing this nonsense. Back in 2014, I got into with an older friend who was posting stuff from the gateway pundit. Tried to convince her it was an unreliable source but she

I'm not ex military but I find Alex Jones legitimately hilarious and I'm astonished people take him seriously. Before I left fb I had an ex-Marine old friend from elementary school on my list and he shared conspiracy memes relentl

Does he live alone? I'm convinced that plays a large factor.

I'm not too far from his age range. The "blatant brag" kind of plays out by your late 20s. At least it should, IMO. It's mostly just signalling to females, anyway.

In hindsight, Bezos was playing chess while the retailers were playing Uno. I'm generally suspicious of a CEO making that much of a difference, but in this case, clearly, his vision was worth billions in business advantage.

It also compels me to pay my bills and be responsible with my money. Such is life.

Embedded dev here as well, trying to get into react/webdev. Can you recommend resources you used for React knowledge, particularly in binding it to dynamic information sources, e.g. databases? Documentation and examples seem lacking in

Most parents want that. An overwhelming majority, in fact. Not just me. Good enough?

A buddy of mine at got a gig with a 30 percent raise in another state with it. I got off it years ago along with all other social media because I find it intrusive.

People that were born in 1935 are in their 80s now and probably started listening to music in the early 50s. Any extension of the principle further back than the 50s doesn't apply to living humans and doesn't matter.
