    Deportations are down from my understanding. Most people think deportations are up due to the “shock and awe” ice operations. The current administration, as with prior administrati…

    3 cashiers per location and 9 developers per company is not a win/win for the 1,000s of cashiers replaced by the 9 developers.

    Iron and fiber are durable and last for decades. Data centers (where the current flows for inference) consist of hardware that becomes obsolete within 5 to 10 years. The question i…

    Well said. This also aptly describes the emergence of “script kiddies“ in the early 2000’s (now comically referred to as “engineers“). Promotion of simply combining libraries that …

    Isn’t Europe full of neoliberal ghouls stoking war with Russia, blowing up pipelines, and cheering on rogue nations like Israel?

    Won’t flooding the market with large supply of bonds being sold at one time cause the price of the bonds to drop, resulting in losses for the sellers of the bonds? Meanwhile, the b…

    Trump is an awful character, but equating him to the worst villains of history (at this point in time) is dishonest and hyperbolistic. Also, assuming you know who I voted for is eq…
