Everyone complains about poor Democratic messaging but when are we going to admit that as long as Republicans own all major media platforms, any messaging by Democrats is going to be distorted into nonsense by the media?

How did you go from "foreign influence operations" to "US companies manipulating people"

That's hard when people smarter than you are being paid billions to study and test exactly how to keep you addicted to their media platform. And if that doesn't work, they'll just buy your preferred media platform and devolve it themselves.

So immigrants all have to be renters? I don't know the wait times in Spain, but in the US, it can take 20 years to become a citizen despite being on long-term visa or already a permanent resident. Meanwhile, citizens are allowed to engage in exploitation freely?

Damn didn't know the US Government owned Facebook.

The US government isn't in charge of one of the largest social media platforms in the world. US corporations are absolutely doing this as well, but that's an argument for more regulation not to grant China free reign

Bad take. We're in the modern world of information warfare: expecting every citizen to be immune to psychological trickery from a nation spending tens of billions to research and test ways to trick them is unrealistic and unreasonable. There's people with PhDs in human psychology spending their entire time and untold amounts of compute power trying to stoke the flames of division and push misinformation and you think we should allow it?

Oh no, they gave indie developers guaranteed money and helped finance the completion of their games!

An astounding story of what could have happened if we hadn't arrested Elizabeth Holmes and let Theranos just keep going.

No, it would be cynical to say that all talk of space colonization is actually a lie to spur interest in government funded space technology, which gets contracted out to one major company owned by the richest man in the world who has become that rich off the back of other government subsidies.

Wait--

If Ukraine has taught us anything, no guarantees are enough.

Thankfully for Taiwan it takes more than 4 years to build and bring up a state of the art fab at a new tech node.

Kind of a weird post, it's a pretty long book why did you keep going? It's a fun bit of wish fulfillment, a story about engaging in serious and violent revolution against a colonizing empire. It's a bit on the nose, yes, but if you hated the book instead of just thinking it was a bit cartoonish in certain respects, then you might want to ask yourself some deeper questions.

How long do you think fabs take to build and upgrade? Intel was working on fixing 10nm for years, this isn't a software situation where turnaround times are measured in days or weeks. Going from tapeout to silicon for a single line is a 6 month process after the technology process is solidified, forget if you're doing it while trying to figure out yield problems.

This is a pretty dumb take, honestly. Intel for basically forever operated using their own fab exclusively. After failures to maintain good yield rates at their 10nm node, they had the option of continuing to delay new product lines and be eaten by the competition in AMD, or give in to TSMC temporarily while they worked on fixing their fab in parallel. In fact, they were criticized greatly for not switching to TSMC much earlier.

Split AWS and Amazon retail.

A major issue for the US is that when the president changes, the DOJ can simply elect to stop processing the suit. It's hard to get 8 years of uninterrupted movement on an action like this.

You need to read The Amazon Anti-Trust Paradox by current FTC head Lina Khan. She argues that the consumer price oriented monopoly definition is old and outdated in the modern setting. Price is not a sufficient proxy for market competitiveness, and in fact, price is often used to kill competitiveness by undercutting new and innovative products.

Because the point of this is to force friends and adult family members to purchase extra copies of games. Do yall actually think Valve is giving away free game access?

To those who are saying it's not IP locked: people on reddit are all saying that the newer sign-ups are locked but they didn't clear older sharing from early beta.

Musk is definitely one of them.

Musk is a rich trust fund baby whose fortune started off the back of Apartheid. It's not a shocker that he's a mask-off racist. He's done nothing to prove himself a genius, just a skilled grifter and financier.
