Normally, I do give the benefit of a doubt for the first year or so of economic news under a new President no matter which party. Policies do not usually have time to have that kind of effect so quickly. It's great when you can point to a President you don't like and say "see, the economy went down", but it usually doesn't work that way.
Not this time. Trump moved so fast to break so much that he gets to own the whole thing. Doubly so when the Fed's predictions had been pointing downward when they had been pointing upward before Trump took office.
When it comes to attacks on the Internet, doing simple things to get rid of the stupid bots means kicking 90% of attacks out. No, it won't work against a determined foe, but it does something useful.
Same goes for setting SSH to a random port. Logs are so much cleaner after doing that.
Years ago, I was in the mall in Dearborn, MI. It has most of the stuff you'd find in any other American shopping mall. There's the Gap, American Eagle, and Spencer's Gifts. It's mostly full of teenagers doing things that teenagers do in a mall.
Then there's a random antique shop full of Edwardian furniture. I didn't see anyone in there besides a sales guy or two, and it seemed completely out of place. Dearborn is also fairly close to the Canadian border. I swear it's gotta be a money laundering front.
For the most part, the US has staple foods covered internally. We import stuff like coffee, but grains and potatoes and chicken/pork/beef are all here. I expect that when people see the shelves for electronic trinkets go bare at Walmart, they will panic buy food. This will end up like covid food shelves; a bunch of scary videos of food shelves being empty, but then restocked within a week.
That'll mean you may not be able to get things at the grocery store when you want them for a while.
I had happened to buy a small chest freezer just before covid, and that ended up being such a good investment just then. Looks like it will be again.
Occam's Razor comes from a 14th century priest who studied logic. It's been gone over by philosophers in the centuries since and is generally considered valid.
Hanlon's Razor comes from a joke book published in 1980.
I didn't like the humor, but it tones down in each season. By season 3, the humor is about as frequent as a lighthearted TNG episode, and it's done better.
Doesn't really matter, because it's a show pretending to be satire so it could get greenlit. It's just a TNG-era Star Trek with a different coat of paint. There are a lot of places where it's doing the same plot as some other bit of Star Trek, except doing it better with more lead up across many episodes.
Large corporations are allergic to capital expenditures. That is, they don't like investing in new things to make the business run. They want their previous investment to run as long as possible. On occasion, the workers will arrange big projects to be covered as "maintenance" rather than capital expenditures.
Oil companies have invested in oil pumps and refineries. They could invest in all sorts of other things, but that's less money in the hands of shareholders. That's all there is to it. Money spent on new investments isn't making them richer right now.
To add, "There's no ethical consumption under capitalism" applies to your labor, as well. The phrase is meant to provide perspective, and shouldn't be used as an excuse to do whatever.
I'm not particularly happy with everything the company I work for does. Especially the actions of the people at the top. But it's not notably worse than any other Fortune 500.
Lockheed, though? It's bad in a more fundamental way.
Fascist trap themselves on this all the time. If they're competent, they will either run far away or work to undermine you. If they're loyal, then they won't be very competent.
Fascism is a lot more fragile than it looks on the surface because of issues like this.
Some brain cells cobbled together from stem cells that have his DNA. None of the life experiences that made his music. You could likely get similar results with the same technique using the DNA of any random person on the street.
There's some servers using SSDs as a direct extension of RAM. It doesn't currently have the write endurance or the latency to fully replace RAM. This solves one of those.
Imagine, though, if we could unify RAM and mass storage. That's a major assumption in the memory heirarchy that goes away.
If you don't have an especially long commute, good chance you're between 12k to 15k per year. That's a typical yearly amount, and leases are usually set around there.
Maybe I have a shred of consideration for people besides myself. I'll be hostile because these things should make you angry. You're an awful human being.
Be glad you don't have VR. Those porn vids get big.
