Reinventing the wheel in Rust. History of this industry says thats a bad idea.

Diversity is not strength, it is chaos. Picture the Kernel as the Tower of Babel.

PS: I might be biased due to the fact a lot of these people coming out of institutions do not understand machine organization. They write basic stuff like linked lists, queues, hash tables like they were on a mainframe with one CPU in the whole system. Really bad stuff coming out of our institutions now days. It might explain why our entire company the youngest guy is 59 (me) and the oldest is 78. I don't have time to explain to a Master Degree guy basic POSIX threading and Machine Organization of todays complex processor architectures from Intel and AMD. They should know all that when they graduate. Sad.

Comment CEO of Novell (Score 2) 42

The same guy that drove the company into the ground and is a Chinese communist daahling...yeah if you don't mind much I think I will just ignore what that trollup has to say.

I had conversations with him as a CEO at Novell and I was thinking....yeah the comany has about 2-3 years left before it goes by by like the Titanic.

With so much going for it, it was hard to imagine a better person to pick than to destroy it.

The publics trust in institutional medice has been destroyed regardless of the whole Ivermectin story and there are plenty of others.

Its been going down the shitter for quite a while now, but I think the whole Ivermectin thing put the final nail in the coffin. I knew doctors with 30 years of medical practice just quitting for good mind you with the draconian measures put in place by the powers that be. Right now I have no doctor as I don't trust the lot of them after this crap.

I mean you had crazy ass shit going on with Pharma companies threatening pharmacists telling them not to prescribe Ivermectin under any circumstances, knowing full well what they were doing to protect their emergency use authorization of the mRNA vaccines they were peddling to the public.

We had our own Mayor telling people the emergency rooms where overlfowing with Ivermectin overdoses victims and of course the FDA telling people its a horse medicine, which is a very misleading statement ON PURPOSE.

LIES.

The FDA had NO CHOICE but to retract those statements or it would go to trial and to DISCOVERY.

DEI is the same problem though. It doesn't help the company, or any company to put people into positions based on social constructs.

You want people by merit and track record.

These concepts embedded in DEI WERE in place in one function or another in the past 15 years at least. They just didn't just happen in the past 2-4 or even 8 years.

Its just a contributing factor among others cited here among ethical and business/engineering professional problems the company has been engaged with.

Most of the human population calculations are wrong because:

1) Governments control the numbers for political reasons.
2) Climate Woke Nutjobs want funding for their labs.
3) NGO's want population increases to validate crisis and by pass due process to rule by decree.
4) Then there is the SATANIC rabbit hole of human trafficking, but has very interesting relationships to population decline in 1st world countries. One example is the sex trade and sexualized education in institutions and media. Possibly the single most effective psyop in reducing birth rates. Japan is a fascinating study on this for example.

No, it hasn't reached 8 Billion.

Westrn Countries continue there population decline, asia will experience massive declines in population over the next couple of years and Africa will not be able to match that decline.

There seems to be something afoot in the politics of control and power that is using crisis to enact inhhuman policies as an excuse to avoid due process.

To those of you participating in that, don't worry you will get your little beast system in good time.

But not on your calendar schedule, and not exactly as you have schemed and planned for.

This "study" wouldn't happen to be from the same people who told everyone:

1) If you get the clot shot you won't infect anyone, so you are being socially irrepsonsible if you don't get one. See everyone is doing it! Pan video camera to some orwellian big tech or other non elected money bags in finance showing them on video getting the shot. (Possibly the strangest thing I have ever seen.)
2) Irresponsible people don't deserve their careers, their medical licenses or their bank accounts if you don't "trust the science". (Many people lost thier careers, medical licenses and bank accounts from evidence gathered on twitter about thier opinions about the clot shot)
3) The only people we have to fear are the unvaccinated. (Till this day I still don't udnerstand what that means". Does that mean when I take my dog in to get a rabies vaccination I have to yell at my neighbor that his dog will infect my dog? How does that work? How am I threat if you got a COVID vaccine and I didn't? How does that "trusted science" work?)

knocking about stuff in space into unpredictable orbits is probably a bad idea.

Now that the orbit is changed, it could hit something else leading to other problems.

I think experiments like this are stupid and reckless.

Just like putting CO2 into the ground for storage or other human induced climate change woke nonsense.

1) The geopolitical expenses of Lithium are already too expensive for the EV future. Unless of course you want to destroy whole countries to get that future and some countries will not cooperate so easily. (i.e. have Nuclear Weapons to defend their resources.)

2) What is it, 100AMPs per EV to charge it in a practical and TIMELY manner as a gas vehicle. Catastrophic consequences on the third world like power grid in the USA of hooking up 100's of millions of 100AMP pulls on the power grid is going to collapse infrastructure. Hospitals, Banks, DataCenters your refrigerator is not going to work. You had people dying on operating tables in Texas from just a simple cold snap because the power went out when their little wind mills failed.

Just getting a wee bit cold or a wee bit hot destroys the USA's Third World power grid.

3) There is the durability cost and environmental impacts of car batteries. Most of my cars I own operate till they had 200K miles on them. At any given time MAX, the repair bill was like 1800 dollars when I had to do maintenance. Not cheap, but managable on a credit card loan etc.

EV's have ginormous expenses associated with batteries requring huge sums of money all up front in a short period of time to fix them. That is not practical, EVEN if you pay more for a gas powered vehicle expense wise over the same amount of time, the expenses are far smaller to deal with.

4) Any company who tells you they are recycling Lithium batteries is lying to you. In fact they are same people who are landfilling thier wind mills by the hundreds of thousands.

Oh THAT IS a non biased study for sure.

Likewise telling people we will destroy you, your family your career unless you inject our product isn't too convincing either.

Especially now we know it really didn't work to keep people out of hospitals in the first place.
