I think this is a good initiative. Having major software components be part of foundations, rather than single-vendor backed, is always a good thing. TBD if this succeeds or not, but I think they are doing a good thing here.

Many countries prohibit non-citizens from owning any real estate or businesses at all, even if they have a long-term resident status. Thailand is one example. Ownership is limited to 49%, a local partner must own at least 51%.

On the other end of the connection, there are physical servers and routers. Every once in a while they change how things are connected/deployed for maintenance, upgrades, etc.

What? I have been using Linux daily for almost 20 years. I have typically only installed the OS fresh once each time. I've been using Fedora as my daily driver for well over a decade. I can't remember having to re-install a di

To be fair, there could absolutely be national security issues. One example might be undersea (or even surface) navigation. If the coastline is littered with windmills off shore, this might create a negative of submarine navigation routes

This is my take as well. Personally, I think this is all overblown anyway. Their pricing seems fair to me. Too many people are used to getting something for nothing. Most companies will just pay the new prices, because the time to develo

Let's do the math: A 64GB instance in Azure is $156.28/month reserved. That's $2.44/GB/month. Let's say you use an extra 4GB RAM for a safety margin or laziness, and you have 50 replicas. That's $488.375

Remember when the tech companies got caught making deals not to poach each other's employees? Maybe they can just start their own company. Well, you can't for the existing players to peer traffic with you if you need heavy networ

Low beam lights were previously much dimmer and angled much lower. Rural driving absolutely required high beams.

Maybe? They want to grow the company, and they've run out of VC and circular financing money. Are they going to use the capital raised to make actual profits? That's the question.

In the before times, companies went public to raise capital in order to grow their business.

The DGX Spark seems to have one intended usecase: local AI model development and testing. The Strix Halo is an amd64 with iGPU, it can be used for any traditional PC workload, and is a reasonable local-ai target device. For me, the Strix H

Well, a warranty would be a cost to the manufacturer. An insurance policy would be risk-adjusted recurring revenue.

Keep voting for politicians that spend our money on weapons and violence, this is the stuff we'll keep getting. This applies to both major political parties in the US.

I'm currently leasing an EV for 24 months 7.5kMi/yr. The residual price is over $20k lower than MSRP. Without subsidy and steep discounts, nobody would buy these things. And IMO, the residual is about $5k higher than it will be

Thanks for fighting the good fight. My chief concern is that you will alienate some of your customers because normies think privacy is for crackpots. I don't have any experience being in small business computer repair, but just my fe

I'll be the first to tell you, police in the USA are absolute tyrants. You can be killed for mouthing off to the police here, and likely nothing will happen to them. We don't jail people for tweets though.

You're absolutely right, the UK has always been despotic. And that's just at home, to say nothing about the colonies.

Let's not act like political speech has not been used to arrest people in the UK. To claim otherwise is a lie, or a level of ignorance only afforded to small children.

The laws are whatever the UK's kangaroo courts decide they are. It's a total police state.

Many people are saying this is symbolic and cannot be enforced. Unfortunately, that's just not true. Look at what happened to the founder of Telegram. Some jurisdiction decides you're violating their laws, all you need to do is

Steer shafts are being phased out. Electronic power steering has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. Manufacturers want fully electric, fully autonomous cars. If the computer is driving the car 99% of the time, they'll a
