Intel in 2024: “the market will have less demand for dedicated graphics cards in the future”

I think this take is mid.

A doctor pulling in $400k a year is still working class. Even if they somehow managed to save 100% of their income, and invest it all in a portfolio that consistently grows 10% each year, and do so from age 18 to 65, then when they retire at 65 they would still not have even half of 1 billion dollars.

The truly rich, the billionaires, can “make” that much in a few days, without having to work for it.

I would prefer to tax the 1% until they’re working class again before we talk about taxing the top earning people who actually work for it.

USA already spends more on healthcare than Europe does, they just get worse results and less healthcare per dollar. The US would be able to afford to spend even more on weapons if they got their shit together and de-privitized their healthcare system.

there’s no feedback mechanism that will result in the promotion of instances with better moderation

the federation system is inherently unstable - there’s a positive feedback loop where the instance with the most users attracts the most new users. new users have no to way to gauge the quality of moderation of an instance, and neither do disgruntled current users. additionally, members of smaller instances are less visible, which is an incentive to join a larger instance.

“what instance?” is a rhetorical question, and the only possible answer is “never heard of it.” because there is no means by which a user could have become aware of other instances, regardless of the quality of those other instance’s moderation

people will over time go to your instance instead

what instance? never heard of it.

over charging customers and under paying employees

That’s the crux of the issue.

Who’s going to buy it for a high price, if there is no demand for office space, because workers are all remote?

yeah, the “s” in the title is doing some heavy lifting

The opposite headline sounds just as bad: Submarine Fails To Sink

the horror . . . the horror

imagine thinking liberal capitalists are “the left”, lol

Fractional Reserve Banking really do be that way. And it could be OK with stronger protections against bankers being able to bribe lobby politicians with funnymoney, or pay themselves exorbitant compensations. The supply of currency has to grow with the economy’s growing productive capacity, and its better if government spending isn’t the only way new currency comes to exist.

As the operator of the other circus once said, “all publicity is good publicity,” and “there’s a sucker born every minute.”

And as the other clown, Dr. Strangelove, once said, “the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret!”

The idea of a Federal cemetery being “sacred” and the strangers buried there being “honored” is so far removed from the every day fight for survival of the average, brutally exploited wageslave American, the notion that starting a fight there could budge the needle on an election lacks credibility. However, injecting the knowledge into the global zeitgeist that there’s a cemetery in America where rows of uniform gravestones extend as far as the eye can see, marking the depths of USA’s brutality and Will to Power - that sends a message.

if its going to be Republicans either way, why even show up to vote?

so vanishing they’ve become completely invisible
