I’m not saying that all self-help is bad.

I'm pretty damn close. None of it is actually based in any kind of evidence.

It already has legitimacy. It's their hardware that doesn't, despite the decent raw flops and high memory.

I don't mind fulfilled by Amazon. I'm selective, but there's still value there.

If I could permanently remove everything that isn't in an Amazon warehouse from showing up in search results the platform would be way less annoying, though. De-emphasizing that nonsense is a huge value add as far as I'm concerned.

Because it's not really an opinion.

It's a weird rant on a weird faulty assumption.

I'm not sure what you think is contradicting me. I put "free" in quotes. But they're not making meaningful additional license purchases by changing the name from 10 to 11 with how much they're begging people to upgrade. And Mac straight up makes zero from licensing fees, so again, a new name doesn't mean anything. They abandon hardware with new versions when enough core functions need hardware features to work properly, which happens regardless of what they call it.

Enterprise pays plenty for Windows, but those licenses are all subscription based so new versions don't mean anything there either.

Board chairman Donald Parker said the move to end broadcasts was more to address the question of whether $8,000 spent on the taping was worth the low viewership than it was a transparency issue.

How the fuck are you spending that much? Just get a shitty camera pointed at the stage or whatever with one shitty mic and a shitty camera/mic pointed at wherever you have citizens comment, plug it into a shitty laptop, and send to YouTube.

No one needs 4K with professionally mastered audio.

This is literally a response to the fact that people putting things on social media is going to make it much harder for them to get a desirable job.

That's the entire purpose of the post you were somehow disagreeing with.

You understand that they can find your social media regardless, right?

If you have it and publicly post, it's not private and they can and should consider your public behavior as part of the process of deciding whether to hire you.

It's CBS. The NFL doesn't run the broadcast. But not Taylor Swift lol. I don't think she even did anything to draw attention to it besides existing.

I actually enjoyed seeing her in the stands, though. She was very clearly emotionally invested in the game, and I thought her reactions were genuine and added to the broadcast.

Because she's that popular.

I'm willing to bet there were a comfortable 7 figures worth of extra viewers just because she was at the game.

Pay what?

Mac hasn't charged for an OS in ages, and Windows has given "free upgrades" for several version because they're stealing more data and want people to switch.

They've been designed for nvidia because cuda is better.

And because nvidia has been pushing hardware features needed for AI way before AMD has even considered it for ages.
