Also, what about Apple’s latest M3 series chips? Are this in the same realm as Alienware in terms of AI compute?
Copium and GDP for everyone!
Anyone look at PPP or is that metric too inconvenient?
> neither held accountable by the voter, nor by the consumer
Don’t know if you meant to do this but you’re implying that voter!=consumer. Citizens united strikes again!
> A private company has to at least not loose more money then they can bribe politicians
1 dollar 1 vote!
Hey just curious here, mind explaining why/how the US is currently occupying 1/3 of Syria and taking 90% of it’s pre-war oil production?
Gee I’m wondering what we should all be thinking and doing about those pension funds and who that would actually serve.
Y’all get that most of us don’t have pension funds, right? They’ve been gutted long time ago. Defined benefit to defined contribution ring any bells?
But yes, let’s fight against the other plebs that have things we don’t, let’s blame pension funds and not the plethora of other issues.
I tell ya, we’re funding pensions alright but it ain’t the teachers kind.
It is no secret that manufacturing was moved to Asia and you’re presenting figures of “sale values”.
What does this say of the industries? What is the production like? What is meant by manufactured? Is this inflation adjusted? Value is up but what about throughput? What is being produced and who is buying it?
Manufacturing employment has been falling for over 40 years [1]. We live in a service oriented consumption based economy.

It’s dog whistling for the rentiers.
It doesn’t actually exist in the shape that people often think it does. People really think that it’s all about non-government interference within the markets but after 08 and the bajilion other once in a lifetime market meltdowns, I don’t know how anyone can say that this fairytale version of the free market exists.
It doesn’t exist and if you’re working class and you think it does you aren’t serving yourself.
The free market is one that is free from economic rent.
You guys seriously need some readings in economics in order to understand the position you’re in. You’ve allowed your rentiers to deindustrialize your country to chase profits in the global south.
What do you guys think you’re getting for your deindustrialization? Financialization. What does that mean? It means you’re getting, in large part, the benefits from your first paragraph – and associated rents.
But yeah, Chinese propaganda and such and such is easier to sell.
It’s kind if what it means? OP’s question is w.r.t to the receiving party’s ability to consume the data. The point that’s being made is that E2E doesn’t mean encrypted at rest and receiver can’t consume the data.
I see a lot of comments nitting on the wording for a lack of specificity but, IMO, OP’s question was more about understanding what goes on at the two ends of the pipe. The point being made is that the recipient can still chose to do whatever it is they want with the content.
We are no longer living fulfilling lives but going about lining the pockets of landlords and rent-seekers.
Rentier economics throughout the economy are crippling the working class and feeding the rentiers.
People finance their cars, their education, their music, healthcare, phones, laptops, just about any major appliance. You can even finance your food!
What exactly are you getting for your tax dollars?
Here we have three signals among others, go ahead and ignore them I guess…
