I really want them to come out with a pickup. Electric vehicles are massive torque monsters, make a vehicle that outclasses every POS in an F150 rolling coal and you will see them sell. You can do this now in a Tesla but it doesn’t look lik

It’s not completely irrelevant. Like I said, if you know you need big iron you use big iron (I dealt with as400s and cobol for years). But it’s not a commonly taught tech anymore. I look at it like a lot of niche languages. Erlang has a lot

Change their entire business model and act as a trojan horse for the US government? No that won't fly in the US (yes I'm aware of NSLs, there's a significant difference in degrees). In China that's standard procedure. Pa

Yeah all of Huawei’s complaining is a joke. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re being strongly requested to push this line by Chinese intelligence. If I am not doing business in China, Russia, Vietnam, or South America the first thing I do i

Rich people don't spend enough on books and NYC is rapidly becoming nothing but rich people. Going to be awkward when no one is around who can do their laundry or run the McDonalds. Will we see the return of servants quarters?

Fiddler On the Roof has it: TRADITION. People get real salty if they've done something for generations and then suddenly you want to change things (or more likely things changed around them). See all rural politics.
