Counter-argument, moneylenders shouldn't loan money to companies doing this. And secured lenders have their protections. Anyways, they knew the game. Bankruptcy auctions are essentially debtors recouping as many of their costs as poss

You're assuming anybody else would have wanted to acquire a debt-laden company with an enormous infrastructure deficit as they mismanaged the move to 4/5g. Sprint essentially was only valuable to a company with a better LTE/5

Pretty much this. Sprint bet the farm several times on ultimately dead-end tech (CDMA, WiMAX) and were too focused on other things to get ahead of technical evolution. They ended up saddled with debt by the end of it, which hampered any ab

The issue isn't necessarily water ingestion, but that alcohol messes with the body's ability to absorb it to where it's needed. If you're consuming high amounts of alcohol and water, and enough alcohol nonetheless build

Hangovers are a good part caused by by the body reacting to the "damage" that alcohol does: - Alcohol loosens the blood vessels, whereas a lot of the effects of a hangover are caused by the body then "over-constricting&qu

I've not had to do this often or in awhile as over the past decade until very recently it's been a tech workers market and I've had more power, but I've spent (sometimes personal) time in past jobs to automate these kind

China also has large swaths of it's population still in a lower income bracket, especially the further you get from the coasts (though the demographics there are not much better). It's going to be very interesting to see what hap

The ones you can run on your own machine tend to be bad - really bad. They hallucinate wildly and fail at all sorts of tasks that the larger hosted ones succeed at. Totally. I recently asked a locally-run "speed" LLM for the bes

That's my original point. Assange/Wikileaks made little, if any, distinction between an American mid-level diplomat that's stationed at an embassy sending intel on the mistresses, corruption, or misdeeds of the local leaders

by hylaride 3y ago
A mid-level diplomat in some authoritarian country writing a blunt opinion/analysis of its government's possibly dangerous leaders is not spying on every American.

Yeah, Barcelona doesn't really have a quiet time from tourists anymore. It's a shame, but I acknowledge that my desire to travel is part of the problem. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Knowingly handling stolen (secret) property is still a crime. It's not about the embarrassment. If he only released the infamous helicopter attack or specific "criminal" documents, that'd be one thing. However, he dum

I saw it 20 years ago and it was impressive, but it's hard to take in fully with the crowds.

I remember when glassdoor first arrived on the scene. It was such a democratizing* experience. Salaries, reviews of management and the company, and good old fashioned venting. The web was such a different experience that we never thought

Yeah, I haven't seen an apple "fanboy" in the classic sense of the word in over a decade. I mean, the daring fireball guy always gives apple the benefit of the doubt, but I've ran into far more people with a borderline

But if they’re harder to get, fewer will have them. You can very much get an illegal firearm in Australia or the UK if you really want, but firearms crimes are significantly less because they’re not readily available. I don’t think we (Can

Over the past few years, the highest grossing games are freemium pay to win games, like Star Trek Fleet Comman. While they're available on both android and iOS, the fact that iOS users tend to me more affluent means that the revenue te

Uh, Tesla got tons of money direct via carbon credits and indirect via consumer EV credits. They're actually in trouble for possibly lying about their range and getting more credits than they should have.

Money fuels politics (especially in the USA) and the media companies had money to spend. The average joe didn't care, so it was a perfect storm. That's less so nowadays, but mostly because even the companies are finding it hard

Because culture is built on itself. Almost everything is built, remixed, rewritten at some level. A good chunk of the Disney classics are taken from older stories, fairy tales, etc that were by then public domain. Borrowing/"s

Probably not that much. It's not like gentoo was widely used compared to Red Hat or Ubuntu. Also CPU power usage is a rounding error if the computer was on anyways compared to the spinning HDD, monitor etc.

The F-35 only became operational in July of 2015. It's still a new plane going through teething problems. A lot of the issues are being addressed in later variants. The latest blocks are vast improvements. That being said, I suspect

The US restricts who can have the F-35, among other weaponry. They cancelled Turkey's F-35 purchase after they bought the Russian S-400 air defence system and they refuse to allow a lot technology transfers for it, depending on the co

In peacetime you can ground your entire fleet of a type of aircraft when an issue is discovered (as has been done for almost every model of military plane flying at some point). In wartime you don't have that luxury and you need to go
