So they ruin their own product for what? For traffic to their billionaire buddy?

Highly doubt that

but IMDB is owned by direct Microsoft competitor - Amazon.

but in this example clearly Wikipedia and probably IMDB are not paying them right? Or is it their attempt to disguise selling out by always preferring the buyable option even when it’s at 0$?

As a software dev I wonder how does this even happen?

• The movie snippet somehow has bigger weight for ordering - why would that ever be preferred?
• The ordering is random?
• The movie snippet is faster than App and Folder snippets?

It’s incredible how incompetent Microsoft is.

So fighting inequality with more inequality? Doesn’t sound like that would work no matter how you justify it.

I’m a feminist and I honestly don’t understand this mentality. Mixing genders in all activities is good for our society, period.

So? Are we supposed to have a fair, equal society or are we playing these games of measuring each other’s cocks?

So AI controlled photoshop is ok?

I think the standard is set on wrong metric. Slop is slop and it doesnt matter how ot was brewed be it asset steal or lazy ai

it’s a bad idea but I think they think it’s a strong deterrent. “You try to traffic drugs here - you will die” sort of mentality

This obviously is a poor strategy for a dozen of other reasons but they are simple, stupid people so to them simple stupid solutions are very attractive especially if it scratches their need for cruelty and racial superiority.

US will never live this period down. These dudes are such losers that it’s a historical event in it’s own right.

As non american I always felt that Thanksgiving is such a wholesome holiday until the class warfare kicked in and ruined it for everyone huh

Good point tho if the bubble does end up popping it’ll bring down ram price as the market will be flooded with hardware from closed/reduced farms. But I guess we’ll have bigger issues preventing us enjoying the discounts lol

Let me know if you need more actual research or i can also produce some blogs and yellow journalism articles if research is too high brow for you.

Nope I speak for the local pov of my friends not of my own. People legit dream to move to tourist areas here because life is legit better. You don’t have to believe me, just google real data. Would you rather work in some unregulated factory or take tourists snorkeling? It’s a no brainer.

People are panicking but market will correct itself. RAM is basically a solved technology and supply is limited by lack of factories not ability to manufacture.

Care to share this data because from googling around for regions I’m familiar with the story is exact opposite. I’m not familiar with New England but the data is quite the opposite for places I am familiar with.

Poland grew up a lot in recent years though. Every post Soviet country had a rough journey rebuilding their entire country and culture tho Poland got really captured by Catholic grfit unfortunately.

So you think without tourists it would be more or less safe?

I have the exact opposite experience and I also grew up in a tourist town.

Just like any other town you leave to get education and come back with your money and get a house to enjoy your home town :)

What you’re describing is mostly skill issue and conjecture.
