The "little man" is the line employee, vs the machinations of the boardroom and the demands of the stock market. The salary level isn't that relevant.

Competition and stack ranking are nothing new, Imperial China was doing it in the 6th century with civil service exams. You might as well say humanity is the cause.

Dell Optiplex and HP Elitedesk both have lines of SFF boxes similar in size to the Mac Mini. You can get great deals on refurbed ones that have cycled out of business use. They’re also pretty easy to work on if you want to upgrade component

You only have to go back 100 years, just look at the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression. It's literally the story from the Grapes of Wrath.

This is very true. I work in MSP not software dev, but banking/finance clients almost always have budget for regular hardware refresh and premium support agreements. And they fork over tons of cash for security auditing and all the l

Internet Explorer's not even dead yet, Edge will 100% be staying in the top 3 for desktop browser market share as long as long as it keeps Chromium as a base and maintains feature parity with Chrome.

That’s nominal GDP, real GDP only increased about 2%. Inflation is starting to get under control but the ~3% average this year is still over the Fed’s target. We’re no longer in dire straits but “As good as it has ever been” is definitely a

Work visas and education visas are two different things that should be treated separately.

Not a dumb question, but maybe dumb to make a whole comment instead of taking two seconds to google it https://www.techspot.com/review/2625-nvidia-rtx-4090-laptop-...

Regular maintenance for bridges means tensioning cables, tightening loose bolts, repainting exposed parts. Not redoing the foundations every month.

Uppity? There’s a word that certainly doesn’t conjure any negative connotations

Sounds interesting but the bloated website and nonconsensual cookies make it hard to want to learn more

That’s actually a great idea, seems obvious but I never would’ve thought of it.

Just because it’s how it’s done doesn’t mean it’s not anti-competitive. Government procurement should be sourcing from multiple vendors and requiring interoperability from all of them. Otherwise it’s way too easy for megacorps to lobby thei

New Teams is actually much better imo. The way they’re murdering Outlook though…

So two blatant criminals got caught, big whoop. SBF broke rule number 1 - don't fuck with rich people's money.

By rule of law do you mean rule of lobbyists? Laws don't apply to people with wealth and connections.

Well yeah... if Ilya hadn't flipped the board would still have the upper hand and Sam would not be back as CEO.

Larry Summers is the scary pick here. His views on banking deregulation led to the GFC, and he's had several controversies over racist and sexist positions. Plus he's an old pal of Epstein and made several trips to his island.

I think his existential worries about humanity were overruled by his existential worries about his co-founder shares and the obscene amount of wealth he might miss out on

This feels like a lot of very one sided PR moves from the side with significantly more money to spend on that kind of thing

Ilya has is own pocketbook to worry about. The independent board members have a duty to the non-profit’s vision, mission, and ethical bounds. M$ needs how many board members to flip positions in order to put their ROI before all of that?

A civil suit bankrolled by a vindictive Peter Thiel does not establish a doctrine of “journalistic malpractice”

The type of market where if you want to launch a new business the best you can hope for is to be acquired or bullied out of the market? Price is not the only indicator of a competitive market, buyers need options. Innovation is not some pan

Well there’s a significant difference in the board’s incentives. They don’t have any financial stake in the company. The whole point of the non-profit governance structure is so they can put ethics and mission over profits and market share.

Like giving instructions on how to mix mustard gas to a potential school shooter. Or a manual on how to kill yourself to a depressed teen. Or a blueprint for how to build a bomb to a domestic terrorist.

I really wish the FTC would get back to busting up this kind of bullshit behavior instead of playing catchup. The cloud giants should be split up, just like AT&T/Bell in the 80s and Standard Oil over 100 years ago. They are bad for
