Yeah, sure, he doesn’t care about tradition, I get that. But it also seems to me Trump has always been fairly anti-China. Ofc he’s also plenty happy to misrepresent his intent if it makes his base happy, so maybe that part was just a facade?
Isn’t this a bit of a predicament for Trump? Traditionally the US has supported Taiwan’s independence, and it seems to me that’d be continued under Trump’s “China bad” rhetoric/policy. However, getting chummy with Putin might require rescinding support for Taiwan’s independence.
Am I missing something here?
Oh hey, an upside down bird! Neat!
Honestly, in a managed environment, there’s not really much learning to do. All the hard part of learning Linux is dealing with system issues, or when shit breaks. In corporate land, you’ve got IT staff for that.
The biggest hurdle would be learning libre office, but considering the average white collar level of mastery of MS office is pretty poor, the basics really aren’t that different in LO.
Corn starch or cornmeal?
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
“Better the devil you know,” perhaps?
No, the Linux community is dimensionless. Physical objects cannot fit within it.
Hope this helps.
no, the finger would stop it
Oh, maybe. Is that how it works?
Apparently it was against the rules of that community and I was banned.
Sounds like they’ve done you a favour. Now you don’t have to see their random hater circlejerk community again.
There’s no record of farmed karma, though? They’ve talked about it before, they just happen to have a lot of time on their hands at the moment and can’t do much else.
The missing bit is that daddy steals the other kids’ lunch money.
Yeah, that is the polar opposite of gluten free. Hail seitan! 🤘
Yeah, I just recently upgraded from a first gen i7. The performance gain is substantial, but less necessary than you’d think. I’d probably have kept going with my trusty i920 a bit longer if it wasn’t for lack of AVX.
Agreed. In the long term it’s better for consumers if there is competition, but that also means being an informed consumer, making good buying decisions and not being blindly loyal to any particular brand.
If anything, Intel’s lack of transparency should speak volumes. They’re hoping to just mostly ignore the problem until it blows over. I still think it’s more severe than they’re letting on, but only time will tell. They’re in full damage control mode right now.
Anyone who gets scared off of buying Intel CPU’s until they see how this plays out is making a sound decision IMO. Consumers shouldn’t accept this kind of behaviour.
On the flip side, this could also make for some potentially good deals on unaffected SKUs.
NPR made it a point to say that some observers worry that the media attention Hoover’s case has drawn could undermine an organ-transplant system with a waiting list of more than 100,000 people. A professor of medical ethics with whom NPR spoke said all indications are that cases like Hoover’s are generally “one-offs that hopefully we’ll be able to get to the bottom of and prevent from ever happening again”.
Obviously the whole thing is horrifying, but it doesn’t move the needle much for me on my personal choice to donate or not.
Just to give an idea of the unlikelihood we’re talking about here, you can model this as a Bernoulli process with a binomial distribution.
If N is the number of beings potentially snapped, then (√N)/2 is the standard deviation. (If you’re curious about why, you can read more here.) So for 8.2 billion people, the standard deviation is ~90,000. The chance of being more than ~3 standard deviations below the mean is 0.1%. That means there’s only a 0.1% chance of snapping less than 4,099,720,200 people.
Good point. Guess it just indicates how unpredictable he is. Just like how he said he’d build a wall, then built a little chunk of wall. It’s all about doing the minimum possible to placate his base.
I’m just here trying to get a grasp on what the actual implications of his presidency are going to be. :/
