It's because every evil spider in every movie that ever depicts an evil spider is modelled off them. We are conditioned to associate them with evil.

Yes it does
There's a massive difference between killing .2% of a population and 50%
We're talking about an order of magnitude more people, and 2 orders highest percentage
You do not take this seriously if you equate the two

It's a caricatured wife, usually from the perspective of a husband who has a technical job. She is not terminally online, focused more on their daily life than political phenomena or the arc of technological progress; more interested in popular culture than internet culture;

He should be working with Intel if he wants to get the job done in the US.
If you want to build chips here, you need to work with the companies that do it successfully at scale.
TSMC is failing in the US - their model doesn't work here.
It's hard.
Learn from the best.

So you acknowledge that it could both be considered genocidal intent, and that even if it's a strategic choice that it still requires wanton disregard for human life
I guess we don't really disagree and I just think your view of this is both legally and morally warped

There's a data problem here.
The Asians that come to the US are mostly from wealthy families. They have at least one prior generation with wealth and knowledge that gives them advantages (private school, networking, etc) and can help teach them how to be successful.

No, they just have ritual significance
Also it's a metaphor, Alia is "the Atreides gom jabbar" the same way, say, Jaime Lannister is "the sword of House Lannister"

Seeing the kind of jokers that get funded makes me sad.
I tried to raise a few years ago for a hardware IP/manufacturing services play with a 10 year product road map and complete distribution strategy with the network to make it happen, and got nothing but "great idea, best of

The quality of garage-ready 3d printers and CNC machines is actually approaching industrial grade
A motivated individual can definitely produce unique, viable prototypes for anything doable with off the shelf motors and circuits...which is a lot these days.

It's especially funny when you consider that the lawsuit is about getting shareholder approval, and Elon was the first person saying that the deal should be up to shareholders, not the board, and that he wants as many shareholders as possible to retain shares

The largest shareholder of Lenovo is Legend Holdings, which is now a publicly traded company but has historically been an investment vehicle for the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the primary high tech research institution of the PRC.
I feel like that speaks for itself.

Someone is really bad at math...
Half the US population has been vaxxed with 5k deaths as a most generous estimate
10% of the US population has had COVID and there have been 604k deaths
Even not counting the lives saved by the vax, it's not even close. Orders of magnitude.

In the 90s we thought the internet would be better than TV for this exact reason
I do think internet ads are less intrusive than TV ads. But fuck me there are still a lot of them

Not an expert; took some classes, plus lifelong interest in the subject.

If opposite sex parent pays no attention, we believe we aren't worthy; deeper evolutionary message is basically "ngmi, rip"

One time I worked with a startup that had a black CMO. He came on a China visit to take factory shots at the production line in Guangzhou for a sizzle reel. He had been been before, so of course I warned him ahead of time that the Chinese can be kinda racist (which they are, by

That's Australia.

Yeah if I listen while I work it's gotta be something super minimal, definitely no words.
Can't listen to actual music...for me these days it's usually select tracks from video game OSTs.
I'm particularly fond of a few tracks from Chrono Trigger/Cross, and, for some reason,

Kids need space to play. Kids need green spaces to not get depressed. Kids need to be outdoors so parents can stay sane and get things done while they're not up our butts.

2014 is when they bought Motorola Mobility, which wound up being a huge loss.
It's also the year after Xi Jinping came into power.
Did you know the CEO of Lenovo is on the board of the Communist Youth League of China?

You can look so close to this that nobody would know the difference if you were wearing shorts and a t-shirt with a healthy diet, 30 minutes daily of moderately intensive cardio, and 10-20 minutes of casual calisthenics and weight lifting

Name one app that doesn't use its logo as its icon
Now ask yourself, do you want system apps that use totally different design conventions from other apps?
Does that sound very feng shui to you?

My first startup gave me so much respect for people like Elon and Zuck.
At first I was like "hey running a business is NBD, just make things and learn how to use excel and accounting software and you're all good"
Then we started shipping.

Tesla's market cap is entirely speculative. VW shipped almost 10x as many cars last year.
Huawei needs massive government subsidies to do what they do, and they only sell to emerging markets at far lower margins because they exist solely as a tech power play for the CCP. As a

The "coast" you're talking about would be harder to navigate than open ocean since it's packed with icebergs the likes of which sank the Titanic, a massive industrial wonder made entirely of steel that would turn the Santa Maria into driftwood.

Nah I dunno man. I think a clean, minimalist rocket engine makes a lot of sense, but you have to remember that all/most of that wiring is still in there - it's just condensed or cable-managed. And it makes sense in an environment with a lot of activity where lots of things can go
@shakoistsLog
My single friend asked me what it's like having kids
I told him it's like being a slave, if being a slave gave your life genuine meaning and happiness, only it still breaks you physically, emotionally, and mentally, but its still somehow the best thing that ever happened to you.

What is he smoking? Apple didn't win mobile. Android has 70% global market share and a bigger app store.
The open model always wins.
Not sure how he's going to compete with what Google is cooking though.
