But in the 90s a Sparc5 outperformed a bunch of Vaxen by a similar margin and you got a mouse instead of VT220 graphics

>teaches me how to assemble something that's already been designed

That's when we had proper education.

Now you would just learn how to harvest the data from people looking at ads for the product that has already been assembled by someone else

But what if they were only breaking the law "in a very specific and limited way" ?

At least trading in 1/8s meant you could all this in binary

In the UK they are (or were) explicitly recognised as a race, along with Sikhs, in the context of race relations acts.

Remember to also have some sort of remote access to the remote management network router.

Perhaps a dialup modem and a serial port ?

Re: ARM64 support

I suspect that dominating the Linux running on Mac with M1 market would raise monopoly concerns and Microsoft don't want another DOJ investigation

Re: Tech is slowly taking control.. because we let it.

No it's the internet that's the problem. Have the router connect to your ISPs website and that's all it can connect to.

>Re: His employer is about to announce that they will now hire people regardless of where they live.

Is the whole team remote or just new hires? It makes a big difference

Unless you are effectively a contractor, ie. working on a specific project yourself, you find that people in the office that bosses see everyday tend to be the ones that get picked for a new project.

The couple of remote workers tend to get forgotten about, you get missed out on discussions and new opportunities.

Re: massive investment

Note the clever wording, it didn't say it was investing that in the USA.

But with art you can create value by paying a relatively small amount of money to an expert or to an museum for them to decide that your painting is by daVinci and so is worth $400M.

You can't do that if everyone can prove the identity of $ARTIST

Re: They Paid $4,999,999,999.99 Too Much

You have to take into account the value of the internet's biggest collection of exclamation marks.

In today's hyper exaggerated internet - exclamation marks are very valuable

Re: This is why

This was just an IT minion, stealing $0.5M from a multi-$Bn company is hardly worth the effort

I think these guys had some number of years that it applied over and I assume some claw back if you got a job as a used car salesman

The MCSE type places would guarantee a job on graduation by offering a minimum wage software support/call-center job at an outfit they had a major shareholding in.

Re: Racial bias

Same in other fields

Analysis of our previous $PRESTIGE_COLLEGE students shows that best students were white,male, private schools and children of alumni therefore mathematically we pick these students.

The admission office never see the gender/ethnicity etc of the applicants and so can't be discriminating

Re: Arrogant?

>Space and orbits are an international resource.

The galactic council disagrees

>How does the FCC have the authority to allow these 500 km lower

They don't. they just have the ability to pull Starlink's license to sell internet services to US customers. Which means that Starlink has to do what they say if they want to make money.

Azerbaijan's telecom regulator could refuse permission and threaten Starlink's ability to sell services in their country - and Starlink will ignore them.

>Peak speed doesn't make it broadband.

Actually message bandwidth greater than coherence bandwidth makes it broadband.

Starlink does 300mbs, that's faster than I get with my single monopoly supplier of cable 'broadband' at home

>What's the operational life?

Quite small, < 5years. Short life means you can use cheaper platforms, don't need radiation hard space grade components and can replace them as hw gets cheaper and better. The only reason for very long life of conventional comms satellites was the huge launch costs, which SpaceX has a handle on.
