    I agree with the risks, the overall theme being it's much easier to potentially manipulate a million internet votes than physical. In other worlds, internet vote manipulation scale…

    Flawed? Sure, although every language has its flaws, some more than others. Deeply flawed? Not really. Obsolete? Lol, what. It's top 3 most popular languages.

    Theoretically possible, but (super super super) unlikely. I'd also think that when a user "permanently" deletes their data, it would still be on Google servers for a specified time…

    I don't understand your point. Yes, electricity is virtually all the TCO of the device (other than the upfront cost). Isn't that the case for any consumer electronic part - process…

    Moreover, considering the cost of the card itself at $1,600, the electricity expenses become relatively minor. In fact, for the price of the card, you could operate it non-stop for…

    The cost of electricity for running a single RTX 4090 a year: $800 (calculation below). Cost to the company of the median developer: $200,000. Assume a 20 cent cost of 1 kWh, then …

    The cost of power (electricity) is much lesser than the cost of time.

    Just curious, why are you still sending physical tax forms? Have you been filing 1040NR? Those were recently digitalized, while the standard 1040 has been digital since a while.

    Fair points, 1/5th is a good estimate.

    The difference is much lesser 7-10x in big tech (Google, Amazon, Msft, etc). Big tech's Indian offices pays about 1/3 to 1/4 of what they would earn in the company's USA office. Le…
