I'm not disagreeing with what you say about Intel's marketing, but I'm guessing you have never worked with Accenture. They send interns and charge hundreds an hour for them. The only thing they deliver is lies to justify more of their own staff.

I've worked with them. Your comment is spot on.

I'd add that their high priced consultants are grossly untrained. They take anyone with a degree in anything and put them on a 12 month internal course where 6 months of that is "soft skills". They don't know even the basics.

Accenture will bleed Intel dry and do nothing of value, just like they always do. Intel have badly lost their way.

Or maybe not get manipulated into a war that will cost trillions of dollars, millions of lives, only to leave after 20 years having achieved nothing at all.

You bet Israel is only planning to start this, not hang around for the long, hard, unpredictable clean up afterwards. They want to leave that to the US.

I don't think they were that good at reading.

Everyone starts thinking that. It is intuitively ugly, but it's practically great. Python demands the indentation you should be doing anyway.

If they wrote their code in a language that doesn't burn CPU like it's a free limitless resource their costs would have been far lower.

And got owned by China in the process?

There is always some good news. Money going to Accenture really is wasted. The less of that the better.

Sunlight and wind is literally free. As much as you like. But if you want to pay more for energy you can do that.

I've used Azure. It was just bad. Every now and then you get a hint at just how bad it is from communications with their higher level support. It's literally designed by fools and falling apart internally.

AWS is the best at product width, depth, security, and reliability. It would be far better for the market if they had some sensible competition, but they don't right now.

The real tragedy here is Google cloud. Google had every advantage and blew it with their customer hostile nature and arrogance.

The US government paid Microsoft to buy and backdoor Skype. The peer to peer nature of old Skype was a threat to US government surveillance.

It can be made legal with a little lying. See parallel construction.

So does the US press though. The fact you didn't know that proves it works.
