These deals aren't as slimy as they look. Yes, there's no marginal cost, but the goal is to spread out the costs as evenly as possible with the companies using the software. Setting the price per core just means that the companies that might do more processing shoulder more of the software cost. (And, yes, it's another way to gouge companies. But it's gouging based on use.)

I know a black man who went to one of the big castles in Ghana that used to hold slave markets. He was shocked and humbled to find out that his family name is shared with some of the leaders that ran the slave markets in the past. He doesn't like to talk about it.

Except for the bosses like Zuckerberg, Jobs, Wozniak, Gates....

Do I need to go on?

Didn't you mean to use past tense? "Wasn't that the job ...."

Seems like infringement to me. Right?

Yes. Those neutrons were real.

Gambling, at least in casinos, means betting on very random and unpredictable things like the roll of a die. That's the distinction between games of chance and games of skill.

In reality, every thing we do in life is a gamble. Even investing in US Treasury Bonds. (And if you don't think so, look at the national debt again.)

I agree that there's much wild speculation, but some of the speculation is pretty mild in comparison. Micron trades at a forward P/E multiple of approximately 4.3 x to 5.0 x based on consensus forward earnings estimates. Those aren't bubble numbers. Those aren't even utility numbers anymore.

I think everyone is worried and, at least in this case, being cautious.

To be fair, many of the machines at the event were built before HTTP/HTML. Many were built before Gopher.

The students can just log in with a generic Gmail account using a incognito tab.

The article talks about advertising the change on billboards, TV and whatnot.

They really should track usage of calls going into and out of the old switch for the copper line. That will tell you who is still using the old copper lines.

And BYTE, Creative Computing and .....

This isn't exactly true because some others participate indirectly. The most obvious winners are the people who bought housing or other real estate. There are also non-programmers who invested, the most famous may be the Persian carpet dealers in Palo Alto who've been investing in startups on the side.

Yes, there are many who don't own their house, but some of those can also benefit. California has some of the most generous social benefits in the nation, all because they can tax the tech companies.

Was this IDG?

I know a few publicists who every one here would agree are 100% legit. They've been America for a long time. They've worked in publishing. Etc. And what do they do? Charge the author, send out some press releases and get the author in front of some book clubs. And what is a book club? A bunch of faces on Zoom.

I'm not sure what's so different between the legit publicists and the scammers.

How many people complaining about this were cheering when FB deplatformed Donald Trump?

While I respect the public transit system, it has many disadvantages over private cars. The NYC subway, for instance, is amazing in many ways, but if you're just slightly old or infirm, you can't navigate it. DC's subway, built at a yuge price, does have elevators but they are often broken. And if you're traveling at non-rush hours, you'll have to wait 5-20 minutes and then pause your trip for every stop along the way.

I can see how a young, fit and childless 20 something would be much happier with a good public transport system, but once you stop fitting that narrow model, your affection for urban dreams dies slowly.

And don't get me started on the price for construction and maintenance.

Reminds me of that Ray Bradbury short story, "The Illustrated Man."

My DVD player provides it. Must be a special feature.

He traded early Apple stock for cash? Oh, there aren't many acts so foolish in hindsight.

Perhaps they suspected and they deliberately said things that they knew their new overlords would want to hear?

It was invented before Islam began. I believe the creator was Persian.

Many mothers and their children don't find it so intuitive at first. There are lactation consultants who teach mothers (and indirectly the children) what to do.

No. It's about pushing decisions out to the edges and empowering parents (and students) to help run the school system. To frame it this way is to deny the powerful evolution brought about by real choice.

This happened a few years ago before flock. Some idiot drove down the street with a pellet gun shooting at car windows. About five of us needed to pay several hundred dollars a piece to replace the glass.

My street is not "horrible", but everyone on my street would have loved to have a camera that recorded what happened. Even if we didn't get a working license plate number, it would have been useful to see what happened.

It doesn't have to be a "monster crime gap" to get people to vote for these things. It just takes some selfish idiots.

And how much did it cost for the authors to produce the books in the first place? Everyone wants to believe that piracy is okay because the creators costs don't matter.

The old model was designed to split the development costs among all of the readers. Just who is going to write books? Only people with government grants and the rich folks who can self-fund?

It's worth noting that the he's not afraid to us LLMs when it cuts the teacher's workload. The Slack bots are all automated.

I generally think this is okay because the students are getting more feedback, but some students are starting to call this out as hypocrisy. At Dartmouth, there's a debate running because the Provost was using LLMs to improve his writing. He's not in a class. He's not breaking any official rules. But somehow people are feeling like he's cheating.

Best advice: they may call you a "student", but you're more of an employee. You should treat it more like an apprenticeship for a job than some nurturing rebirth. It's not about you. It's about bringing in more money to the enterprise.

This is even a problem in neighborhoods where the townhouses are pretty close to each other. I was in one and there were fifty hot spots that were visible.
