It’s because it goes from tiny bespoke samples for testing, then confirm it’s actually what scientists actually think is happening, then R&D to scale up, then figuring out how to make it profitable. After all that work, if it’s not profitable, it doesn’t get made.

Just remember those old gen rechargeable double A batteries. After like 3 to 6 months they wouldn’t charge well and you constantly had to switch batteries after half a day.

Like these:

Now we just buy new phones when the battery doesn’t last as long. That’s all in about 20 years. This stuff is exciting but I also wish shit was faster just to see it in my lifetime.

Can’t wait to be growing vegetables with an automated system powered by solar power and my loyal robotic attack dog/pack mule.

There was a a porn studio that was prosecuted for creating CSAM. Brazil i belive. Prosecutors claimed that the petite, A-cup woman was clearly underaged. Their star witness was a doctor who testified that such underdeveloped breasts and hips clearly meant she was still going through puberty and couldn’t possible be 18 or older. The porn star showed up to testify that she was in fact over 18 when they shot the film and included all her identification including her birth certificate and passport. She also said something to the effect of women come in all shapes and sizes and a doctor should know better.

I can’t find an article. All I’m getting is GOP trump pedo nominees and brazil laws on porn.

I haven’t kept up. Are they still 10 years ahead of their competitors? I know they had better yields than, let’s say, Samsung.

I remember 256MB sticks were a game changer for me. 1TB still seems unnecessarily to me. You carrying Wikipedia in there?!

But then the power companies would lose a few million! Hookers and blow ain’t cheap, and inflation has hit these millionaires hard.

Currently in college. They are agnostic as it’s all turned in on PDF files, quizzes on browser, etc but my online classes require I install some root kit program to make sure I’m not cheating and it detects if it’s on a VM. I talked to IT and they let me borrow a laptop with windows. Slow as hell, but I only need it for the online tests so 4 times a semester.

Nonsense, management has setup meetings throughout the day so that the people that are actually working only get about an hour’s worth of actual work done

I remember going to my aunt’s home where they had a chicken coup. I asked why the chickens where so skinny, thinking the poor chickens weren’t being fed enough. My dad said this is a normal chicken not those super fat chickens made for their meat. So I looked into it and saw how chickens were treated and problems with their sizes. Truly eye opening.

Zuck and his cabal are all in on line go up even if they have to give kids to pedos(they have, and are), get people addicted, and fuck with people’s mental well-being.

Not just you

How’s he gonna start a new line when he’s trying to fire 20% of the people that actual create something.

Didn’t know about the update. Thanks, just did it.

Fuck it! We’ll do it live!

Also, natural language can be vague and confusing. Look at legalese and law statutes. “When it comes to the law, NOTHING is understood!” ‐- Dragline

I read somewhere they have trouble hiring hackers because they ask if they’ve ever done drugs including weed and it’s an automatic deal breaker for the old farts running the hiring process. Also the pay is shit compared to what they can make in the private sector. I guess leaning on patriotism isn’t working anymore.

Want to change the oil? Good luck! the filter is behind the engine and right next to the exhaust cause fuck you. At this point I’ll look at getting a roller and doing an EV swap.

In the 2000s: this new lithium ion tech stuff sounds great, but it takes forever to charge, costs too much, and doesn’t charge fast meaning we need to buy another battery to charge.

My phone today charges from 10% to 85% in like 40 minutes and gives me about 8 to 10 hrs of use. In that time I’m sure I’ll be near an outlet to recharge.

They said the same thing about solar panels, the electric car, cell phones. Hell, the president of IBM said the world only needed 5 computers. Discoveries don’t mean an immediate push to the public.

Actually, discovery to implementation to market goes really damn fast now. Engineers used slide rulers, paper and pencil, and clay models to design back in the day. It would cost millions of dollars and 10 years. My cousin 3D prints stuff to see if it will work, then CNC if he needs durability. He doesn’t have a degree, he just likes to tinker. Imagine what manufacturing will be like in 10 to 20 years.

I thought VPs already didn’t really do anything, but being on the board and meeting 2 or 3 times a year is definitely less.

Then 6 months later gets a VP job somewhere else because he “has experience” all the while eyeing another run at CEO.

That’s a sweet gig, if you can get it. I heard you have to now show you can grow but choose not to.
