  • These kinds of people should be hosting their own mastodon server(s) and become active there and blue sky.. posting the snippet on blue sky.. read more on my/our mastodon... Extend mastodon with a blog/article option. Then they have a system under their own control.. with relative ease.

  • I'd imagine that the fine means the employer is also open to civil action.

  • Only for Americans that need to pay for the tariffs. The devices are made in china.

  • The Arizona fab is for relatively standard chips, not the high end ones.

    And this is also a step to prepare for an incoming president that has already kicked off a trade war before he even got there.

  • If you are a shareholder that gets the payout and make a profit.. it sure is. For everyone else... Who are we kidding. Fuck everyone else.

  • And are still profitable.. they just want more profit. So they reduce pension payments and wage growth and other employee benefits so they can pay enough dividends next year.

  • Profits go up if you don't invest in your company but instead pay your shareholders. But at some point you atrophied your R&D so much you have fallen behind and then the question becomes, do you bleed it dry and sell it for parts, or revitalize by investing. And if revitalizing is still viable.

  • No company can take over Nasa. Nasa is a research organisation. It actually pushes the envelope and does things that have no apparent objective ROI.. like going to Mars and driving around a rover. Only a government funded organisation can do that.

    Of course we can just pour endless buckets of money into for-profits.. but then who decides what is done with the money... Nasa actually has the organization for this.. with scientists.. clear grant processes etc. etc.

  • Goedzo. Minder borden, betere duidelijkere bewegwijzering. Goed dat er afentoe een bezem doorheen gaat.

  • I hope that the incumbents learn the right lessons. People are angry and hurting. Struggling to make ends meet. Telling everyone that we're fine and the economy is booming just emphasizes that the economy and normal people have nothing in common... There is no "we".. the economy is booming the broader electorate can afford less than we could only 2 years ago.

  • Lol at all the down votes.. people could also have not engaged with your post.. but apparently there is a right way to use your posting privileges and you broke the law.

  • Why not? This is contingent on the US being an unreliable nuclear umbrella... And Germany deciding they will be part of the EU's nuclear deterrence.

  • You don't need many nowadays. They can be city killers all by themselves.. a single satan 2 missile Russia is so desperate to get working would be able to wipe new York of the map...

    It would additionally require a few subs for second strike capability.

  • And he is right. Else there will just be a next conflict under the treat of nuclear weapons everyone else needs to bud out.

  • Corporate fines should be GDPR style.. a percentage of global revenue.

  • Yeah! Parents should totally be allowed to give their car keys to their 14 year old to go out and drive drunk if they feel their kid can handle it.

  • Is this the NATO variant of threatening to nuke?
