I doubt it, Google has been using Ampere for some time.

If you agree to the data being shared when signing up for insurance it wouldn’t be a violation.
cmpxchg8b··on Google OAuth Login Down?
Google search is down for me. Seems to be a DNS problem.
cmpxchg8b··on Meta outage
Enough for Meta to be a $1.2 Trillion company. What a silly comment.

Obviously porting Doom to run on smaller and smaller devices is impressive, but I wonder if anyone has completed Doom on one of these ports? That I’d love to see!
cmpxchg8b··on WPA3 Enterprise 192-bit mode at home
My home network is so small I just use MAC VLAN policies on my managed switch. Same SSID and PSK for all devices makes it easy and they all go off onto the untrusted VLAN by default.
cmpxchg8b··on Power over fiber
I was in LDAC from 2007-2010 and was told that all machines could remote boot to join the renderfarm if required, but I never actually saw it in action.

Lucasfilm never picked good CTOs. While I was there they picked someone from Apple who seemed to be more about marketing than anything else..

cmpxchg8b··on Ask HN: Can you share your experience with sleep apnea?

cmpxchg8b··on [dead]
I apologise for that. You’re right, it didn’t add anything substantive and was disrespectful.
cmpxchg8b··on [dead]
That’s an amazingly ignorant statement. A lot of the value of WhatsApp at acquisition time was that it supported a ton of feature phones and J2ME, something largely ignored in the West. You can have open source all you want but someone still has to run infra.

cmpxchg8b··on More Millennials Are Having Strokes
By the time you get to coast stress may well have taken its toll physically and mentally.

Enjoy your health while you have it, it's far more enjoyable than a few more coins in the bank.

cmpxchg8b··on More Millennials Are Having Strokes
Never seen it happen. I even had a car crash due to the pressure of insane hours.

Companies just love "externalised cost". Screw the lives of the employees, environment, etc. Society is pretty broken.

cmpxchg8b··on More Millennials Are Having Strokes
I starting working in games in the early 2000s. The first game I worked on (Black & White) had me working 16-20 hour days, 6-7 days a week for 9 months. It destroyed my health and turned me into an agoraphobic for at least a year, with related conditions lasting much longer. I've seen people have to check into mental health institutions after shipping games.

At one place I worked, there was a "crack board", where they would have sweepstakes on who was going to come apart at the seams and lose it. Who knew mental health issues could be so fun? "lol".

Needless to say I no longer work in games, it has done damage to my body and psyche for very little return..
