That’s the thing about a war time economy, you produce one tank, and BOOM you’ve added $3.5MM to your GDP. A single SU-35? About 16MM added to GDP.

You can’t eat tanks and jets though, the labor and resources used to maintain a war footing are vast, and must be poached from other areas of the economy. The longer you maintain this posture, the more dramatic the contraction.

Gazprom posted a loss for the first time in decades. They sell one of the most profitable substances ever discovered by man and they still couldn’t turn a profit… despite how little the sanctions are impacting them, no less!

Seems like Twisted Metal meets Mario Kart.

We were very *very *close to replacing our ~700 office Cisco SD-Wan environment with VeloCloud, which is owned by VMware. The Broadcom merger put the brakes on the project completely, they missed out on a few million dollars on that effort alone. The Velo guys were totally in the dark on what was coming down the pipe for them, Broadcom forced them to change hardware vendors on day one, for example.

I don’t believe in God, but I hate Jared Kushner enough that I still pray every night that he gets eaten by a bear.

They generally use fiber for cables like this due to the bandwidth requirements.

Is that how you spell their name?? With the weird characters, I honestly thought that particular propagandist was called “Yugioh.”

I think that’s pretty much the plot of ‘Devs’?

Absolute bullshit. Ukrainian losses are far in excess of those in Gaza. Even conservative estimates put their losses deep into six figures.

E. Also it’s not a pissing match, tragedy is tragedy. The are humans losing their lives, this is terrible all around.

Sony has had a product like that for over a decade. HMZ-T1

Several comments about tires being the issue. I’ve driven through worse with a simple set of all-seasons - is there something special about EV tires that make them perform so poorly in these conditions?

The comparison is a little flat when you consider autopilot has minimum viable weather and road condition requirements to activate, no snow or hail, etc, while human drivers must endure and perform optimally in all road and weather conditions.

Latency plays a big role in throughput. If one download target was ‘closer’, i.e. lower latency, it will be able to scale the windowsize higher, therefore allowing more data to flow through for a given connection. Imagine network packets are envelopes and data is paper. Not all envelopes can carry the same amount of paper for a given connection, and the more paper you stuff in your envelope, the faster the transfer completes.

Don’t worry, the house of cards will finally crumble when they are caught using customer deposits to pay this $4.3BB fine.

Downvotes are for off topic or inflammatory comments, not for things you disagree with, in my opinion.

That last line man. Wow.

Poor girl was in serious distress.

In all weather conditions. Autonomous vehicles only drive in optimal conditions, humans have to suffer whatever nature throws at us.

Important bit:

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s move follows Russia’s formal withdrawal from the accord on Tuesday and longstanding Western complaints that Moscow wasn’t honoring the terms of the treaty.

“doing nothing” is still tacit support for genocide, bud.

OP mentioned it so casually, I just assumed I was dumber than usual today.
