That's an interesting way to say, "A sorry piece of shit named Carmen Ortiz trying to make a name for herself."

That's a fallacy into which they're falling. Not a logical one, just a mental fault in their thinking. You and everyone else around you are always missing out on life-changing money . I missed out on GameStop when it was $4. Roar

They've been saying the same shit about Bitcoin for over a decade. I started fucking around with it in 2010 on a spare Asus laptop I had with a Core2Duo. Glad I did. I thought it was intriguing then and I believe in it now. We've

My pleasure and happy hunting. Here's the original article that reminded me of this. Its four years old, but I still feel its a worthwhile read: https://medium.com/intuitionmachine/building-a-50-teraflops-...

> whatever coin is most profitable to mine won't be profitable enough to justify buying more GPUs This is exactly where I'd like to see it all go.

> I'm genuinely curious if I missed any trends. Yes, you genuinely missed the trend. When BTC prices cratered awhile back, a lot of miners starting dumping their cards because they couldn't even break even on power consumption

Well how much VRAM do you feel you need for your projects? Because there's a lot of 16 GB cards out there that are still perfectly serviceable for that. Vega Frontier Editions (16 GB HBM2) are going for around $600-700 on eBay and Crai

You don't remember when GTX 1080 Tis could be had on eBay for as cheap as $400-$450?? Because I sure do... I should have bought two. Now you can sell one - today, right now - for $700-800. I haven't seen an auction with a final bi

Why is it people think Ethereum mining is what's driving this? The mass mining farms don't give a shit about Ethereum. They literally mine whatever coin is most profitable to then be exchanged into Bitcoin. Everyone's going a

They're not fighting against it at all. That's a load of horseshit and anyone familiar with both PC gaming and cryptocurrency mining knows it. Why would you divert chips that could be powering GeForce GPUs into mining cards and th

It's about survival. The Middle East is not full of stupid people. They all see the writing on the wall. Yes, we will always need petrochemicals, but we're rapidly approaching a world where we need very little of them. In another

If your moral system means you need deep thoughtful comments to decide whether or not you should do business with someone who murders journalists, you have a right shit moral system.

That's not my point. My point is why should anyone listen to this guy. None of his qualifications are on display. Does he build out WiFi networks for a living? "He works for the New York Times" is not a qualification anyone s

I know exactly how big the world is, thanks. The guy personally built a new workstation for Linus Torvalds and sent it to him. Maybe the world's a bigger than you imagine.

I've always felt that's why this kind of reporting is pointless. I don't care what some guy I don't know, who doesn't post his credentials, says about a technology that's very complex. I'd rather wait for

So if your life is in the hands of most people, you're as good as dead. That's incredibly depressing.

Not if the Dallas MicroCenter is any indicator. That place is thriving even with a major GPU / chip shortage.

A hot war is most certainly not impossible. Just because nuclear weapons might be off the table doesn't mean conventional bombs aren't. And frankly, even nuclear weapons might not be off the table fully. Desperation leads people

You should never... and I mean never ... TELL your boss (much less a founder or CEO) what they can and can't do. That's a great way to torpedo your career. "You can't invest $10 million in ergonomic chairs." shou

This is such a laughably naïve view of HR that I can only assume you've never worked for a large corporation (Hell, possibly any corporation). Human Resources exists to limit liability of, and reduce the associated costs caused by, the

The sheer fucking arrogance of someone to think they can tell the founder / owner of a company what they can and can't do (minus illegal stuff, obviously) is utterly mind-boggling to me. I legitimately cannot even fathom it. This
