No one said it wasn't obvious, we're saying spending almost $70bn on a company and announcing that the only way you can make it back is by squeezing 10x more out of the big fish, that might not have been smart.

And additionally a lawyer will help make him aware of alternatives he may not know about, and also give him warning as to what other strong arm tactics UW could do, and how to safeguard himself. It's truly a smart idea.

There's a difference between "you can't use Zoom but you can use Webex" and "you aren't permitted to do video or voice calls on our plane."

Don't count any of my stars then, I thought it was a bookmark feature. Every repo I've starred is only starred to find later, not an endorsement from me.

> They might as well just mark it as "Bookmarked" instead of "Starred". This is how I always interpreted the star feature and have used it as a bookmarking feature. I didn't know it was more akin to a like button

No one working should need welfare benefits. If they are eligible for more when working that shows me the system is broken. When my mother was on SSDI, after the first $84 earned, she lost $0.50 for every $1.00 she earned, which encourage

That doesn't offset the lowering of wages and the shuttering of other local stores that employed more people than the Walmart did. Also each walmart store on average costs state government $1.1m in welfare benefits. https://

I don't code a lot, an when I do it's PHP, HTML, JS, CSS, or Python, and I still just use nano.

Agreed. I don't need my code to turn red just because I haven't finished writing the entire line. I'm aware this isn't valid code, I'm not done.

260 words per SECOND? Are you sure about that? I can only assume you mean for skim/speed reading.

If you extend your arm straight out to point for example, that's significantly more than ten commands sent at once to your arm muscles. It's just non-conscious. That test measures a bunch of things all together too. Visual process

I did read the summary and see what you saw, but that still leads me to believe the headline of the article is clickbait and that the authors don't understand that action signalling doesn't require the same bandwidth as informatio

> American startup culture is so weird. Not everything needs to be a hyper-scaler, not everything needs to be huge. Businesses should focus more on sustainability, and not shut down after 2–3 years after pivoting three times. This is jus

Of course not, but Musk habitually underestimates the difficulty of things by about an order of magnitude.

It always astounds me that salespeople still rely on cold contacts. I have literally never once done business with a cold-contact emailer. To me it screams desperation, they have so few good ideas and leads that they're left with cold-

In the video Jeff mentions that the EPYC CPU wins in performance per watt but not per dollar because it's 3x the cost.

I called the K5 and 6 new designs, I said they were only ISA and pin compatible, but not the same design.

by burnte 2y ago
Some were straight second sources but they all had the license to do what NEC, AMD, and OKI did, which is alter the design and sell these variants. They all started doing that with the 8086. There were variants of the 8086, 8088, and 80186,

> An x86 monopoly in the late 80s was a thing, but not now. Incorrect, we have an even greater lack of x86 vendors now than we did in the 80s. In the 80s you had Intel, and they licensed to AMD, Harris, NEC, TI, Chips & Technologies,

Yeah, I've read that, but I lived through it and even worked for them for 6 months during the period. No, Ballmer was not an underrated CEO. He was an overrated COO and a terrible CEO.

Yeah, I quit reading it because it didn't talk about the book, it felt like a meta article.

by burnte 2y ago
Logically, yes, but it doesn't always happen. Ballmer forgot MS was a software company, thought it was only a Windows company, and wasted a decade. Oil execs look at the cost of change, and decide they're not energy companies, onl
