It’s definitely not healthy, but this isn’t going to fix the birth rate.

SpaceX had a lot of investors looking to cash out post IPO. Try may have been prevented from cashing out during the IPO, but are now free to dump the stock.

Or they may not understand the implications of what they are agreeing to.

Probably. Most mass firings generally have to show that there was a process and that said process didn’t unfairly target certain unprotected classes. So, Meta made AI the process.

If the system isn’t standard, that means the company has to eat the labor costs for assembly and possibly some hardware support.

At a certain point, going lower spec means sourcing hardware that’s no longer being produced or putting together the components yourself rather than buying a prefabricated system.

It is probably the cheapest computer you can buy brand new which you can connect to the Internet to deploy the ads.

They haven’t installed the ropes yet.

Do they make less than 4k definition on 16" screens any more?

People have cracked modular construction. A lot of construction of modern buildings is pretty cookie cutter, especially if the architect is on board to using pre fabricated elements.

If NATO wasn’t a thing, the EU would have needed to create a NATO like defense apparatus internally, and that would have cost them money. Keeping America in was a great way for Europe to keep its defense costs down.

They’re scared of losing the American security guarantee and this is what it costs them to create a comparable EU guarantee.

It is a compromise because all the other options are worse.

A lot of studios want some form of DRM, so a GOG model won’t work for them. For various reasons, an offline DRM scheme is considered to be superior to an online DRM scheme.

Except that has never been Microsoft’s gaming strategy. The Xbox was developed to give PC gaming a toehold in the console market so that games in one market class could be easily ported over to the other.

As app stores became a major money maker for OS’s, the Xbox game store became a backdoor way to get an established app store on PC to eat Valve’s lunch and pull in a new revenue stream.

Physical media doesn’t work with Microsoft’s gaming strategy.

Yeah. If your company is looking that closely into your behavior, they are looking for an excuse instead of a reason.

Yes, this article isn’t. I’m talking about another study.
