reads like an 80s ad.... Risc is the future Risc is so much faster, we are going to build a risc design...

On the contrary, china already has shrinking co2 exhaustion despite rising energy usage, Europe has been on the Co2 decline for quite a while and this change was sped up by the 2022 invasion of the ukraine! India soon will have peak oil. The USA and their backwards thinking government which wants to live in the 19th century is not the world!

Japan from what I could gather is even more toxic, they do not expect you to work all the time, but you habe to be in the office at least as long as your boss is, now your boss has to do the same for his boss etc... in the end everybody stays for long hours and does not dare to take vacations because some upper level maniac thinks his office is his home!
Productivitity over 8 hours zero but staying there is semi mandatory and then going out with your colleques as well...

i have seen businesses migrating away from oracle for the same reasons... problem is most businesses wont, because they are too afraid. So they are banking on the experiences oracle had with gouging their customers they are aware some will leave but if the net income is higher with the remaining customers, they have won!

Does not help to put a ton of wood houses into those areas either, this is just adding fuel to the tank!

Wood being 95% of all houses in a densly populated area. And yes despite the ruins we have left today, 95% of all houses in ancient rome were either wood or had heavy wood structures!

Oracle is suing Greece for the usage of the name Oracle of Delphi....
*We cannot let this blatant trademark infringiment stand*, statement of Larry Ass***lisson PR Spokesperson of Oracle!

Except that when the Con Artist gets through with all his plans we will be knee deep in WW3... so everyone loses. Good thing is, Musk and co wont be billionaires after the shit show the con artist and his croonies will have instigated will have settled down. The bad news is, that 1-2 generations will have to do the cleanup if civilisatiion can recover this shitshow alltogether!

By now... the world is run by a bunch of pyschopath, that wont end well...

Add on top an anti vaxxer at the helm of public health, yeah if we get into a 1918 like shitshow, those guys wont make the next pandemic, the rest will very likely survive, masks work excellently against the flu!

Sorry googled it up, it apparently was twilight zone (aka aired around the same time) here is a reference: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fscifi.stackexchange.co...

There was this one Outer Limits episode, where billionaires military etc... fled to a private space station after they f*** up the world. The survivors simply built up the world again under better circumstances and a better society, and when the billionaires etc.. wanted to come back they shot them out of the sky to keep peace on earth!

is good enough, then the mid range has to suffer, the reason, phones are not so different anymore between the price segments and face it fast enough for your basic needs the difference often often is just in camera and branding and some speed, and many people do not care about branding!
It used to be different, if you did not buy high end then there were vital features missing or the speed not enough, but then the high end price became mid range and now high end often is more expensive than a notebook computer, and what you got in mid range quality a few years ago now is low range and the gap between high end and low end often is just price and a few minor things!

Expanding to Europe good luck with that. Tesla already is here, and the market over here is already cornered by Tesla, VW, Stellantis etc.. and the chines are also aggressively trying to get in!

It is only rewarding in the initial learning curve but once you have shifted for years there are no rewards or fun in it anymore. As for thinking ahead, forget it, again a few years into shifting you do it automatically, you see that you have reached a certain speed you shift. All it does at that stage is to take a tiny amount of your concentration away from driving safely and you get delays during starting at green lights because you have to manually shift! For the car makers it was heavens sent however, because manual shifting is cheaper for them, they sold it over here in europe as being "sporty" but the fun stuff is, that race cards have gone semi automatic at least in F1 decades ago because it gave them a huge advantage!
