That doesn't really matter. What matters is that he commands the most powerful (probably?) offensive force on the planet and has already shown that he is more than willing to use it to achieve his nonsense objectives.

The problem is that lots of people seem to be under the impression that they are doing it right because they are using AWS. They don't realize that AWS is a toolbox, not a 'ready made solution for redundancy against all catastroph

I tried to open a conversation with an entity that issues ISO27001 certificates about the stuff I had found at a company they had recently certified. The response was such that I have lost faith in that entire industry. It's essentiall

I think that in case of large multinationals you don't need to search for innocent explanations, as a rule they are perfectly aware of what they're doing and that you are in no position to make them pay for it. Might makes right,

I still hear those jingles in my head (as well as local news about LA that had absolutely no bearing on my life at the time, but it stuck with me anyway). Already I've found some recordings of them online thanks your message and I&#x

A friend in LA sent me KTWV tapes in the 80's and I'm still playing some of the music I could that way. Thank you for giving me inspiration to go find more new music.

There are so many parallels between the USA and Russia it is no wonder that there are similarities in how both countries look at the rest of the world. - Large - In principle have lots of resources - Have told themselves they are exceptiona

10x loc? wow. That makes me wonder how it will perform. And how you will review that, since if it is physically impossible for a human then who will take responsibility for what you release?

Why would that be funny? Years of people's work appropriated and they end up without even the recognition? I'd be furious.

> But with math, everyone in the world would gain from computers becoming really, really good at it. I'm not convinced of that. It is one possible outcome but there are also other possible outcomes.

Yes, as does the USA. So your point is moot: tariffs are a tax on your own population, ostensibly to stimulate local manufacturing but in practice it is just another tax. Protectionists will immediately reach for this mechanism because they

Given that the arrival of this stuff has been compared to nuclear weapons already the question is whether or not the same mechanisms that kept us from annihilating the planet would hold there too. I am not sure that it will. But a balance d

I worked for a little bit with a group making optical sieves, this stuff is mindblowing to a non-trained-in-the-art outsider. I can easily see losing a couple of decades in that rabbit hole.
