The desperation… It reeks

…and kids, that’s how Putin won the war against the concept of privacy, and Trump got indirect benefit out of it

Bridges can be rebuilt when you get a decent person in office.

This the major defect of US governance that is being laid bare now. American presidentialism puts too much power on the hands of the president, which can result in schizophrenic foreign policy

Yes. Very little reason to trust the United States now. Countries will tend to get very transactional with the US, and shift their allegiances to China or EU

Right. There aren’t assets there to take and sell. Offices are rented. Equipment depreciates really fast as technology moves on. IP rights are not worth that much since there are many alternatives and some technologies they developed are unique to their own tech stack, and the trademarks are radioactive garbage.

All that influence and goodwill the US accumulated after WWII is going to dust

Banks will be lucky to sell for as much as 10 cents on the dollar, especially as all loans might be unsecured.

Banks should package in a shitcoin, that would pay itself out, since those investors are used to losses now 😜

Americans who never left the US don’t get this but soon the US will lose its international relevance and the age of American-driven world peace (yes, there were a lot of wars since 1945 but none on a continental scale) is coming to an end. Trump just does not understand how making the whole world trade with the USA made the USA the superpower it is today

Don’t forget that there is always online shopping out there as well.

But that was the idea

Number of users is not a valid argument on this type of debate

Because US government is weak! Trump will show’em how it is done. If Trump lets Tik Tok to continue to exist then Trump is weak!

Coding is just a part of the overall “programming” problem. Most problematic areas are in translating what the customer wants into code (requirements analysis), modifying code to overcome specific constraints, integration, etc and etc

Precisely this. This is, in my view, the biggest lie American MBA schools forced down to the society: the notion that, if you can’t quantify the value of support and engineering then it does not matter. That is just a side effect of how limited accounting is as a tool to measure value and of how unimaginative accountants are, as a class of professionals.

Then MBA schools don’t directly say it but do condone the notion that one can always squeeze more profit from less cost, which works in the beginning but at the end throws the company into a potentially unrecoverable corner (Boeing), damaging people’s lives, suppliers’ businesses, and the community at large.

What would be the Dell option for a conservatively styled laptop that has a GeForce RTX GPU?

Seems that Dell is pushing to their Alienware line but their laptops are just ugly

Ah thank you for the insight on thermal management and on the GPU… Will keep an eye on those points

Is the precision decent for gaming?

Violation of work dignity is part of mainland Chinese work culture. I guess the big heads in China still don’t understand the complaint

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Nah. There’s no incentive for the chinese to open source either
