The downside of this is that, Russia may well be willing to keep fighting for a decade or longer.

Equipment estimates show that Russia may have 2 years worth of equipment left at best. Unless China starts supplying them with tanks and APCs Russian soldiers will only be armed with rocks and sticks.

“We’ve seen larger technology and software companies prioritize skills over degrees because of the speed at which the industry evolves. Often, somebody may have gone to college quite some time ago, so what you learned in college doesn’t necessarily translate to skills that the job market demands,” Nguyen said.

This has been the case for 30 years. The most basic point of hiring people with degrees were, it was used as a litmus test to see if you could commit to something that is difficult and expensive and follow through for 4 years. The second, and more important, was to help ensure you would get someone that knew how to read, write, analyze, and employ critical thinking.

Rumor has it Dreamworks has already optioned the movie rights.

And worse on the coffee one, they found McDonald's kept it boiling hot so patrons would drink less of it in the store waiting for it to cool and they'd leave before getting a refill. In short, McDonald's made it uncomfortably hot to save money.

Well you're certainly welcome to hold that opinion. I don't think you're recognizing the gravity of what you're expecting them to commit to and also you're setting yourself up for repeated disappointment.

Of course there's still some ambiguity. They're likely investigating many things in parallel right now and cautiously assessing impact and scope. Their language suggests they think they've got the full picture, but they're likely still exploring some niche areas to be safe.

They've given public statements on the general area of the issue and its limited scope. I think your expectations on this issue at this point about perfect transparency are a bit unrealistic for a publicly traded company.

Perhaps, but eventually one member of nearly every family will have been "came for". At that point it ceases to be a theoretical exercise and becomes a practical reality.

They did. Its in the article.

A company representative told Tom’s Hardware that the issue doesn’t require a redesign or re-spin of the Ryzen 9000 silicon and will not result in changes to the already-defined specifications for the various models. AMD will re-screen the chips pulled from the field to identify any with potential issues and then return unaffected models to retail channels. This indicates that not all chips suffer from the issue.

An AMD representative told us that the company “identified an issue with our package product testing process for Ryzen 9000 series processors that could result in a small number of products reaching the market that do not meet our quality standards.” AMD specifically cited the package testing process, implying that the issue resides in the packaging implementation (more on that below).

It says nothing is wrong with the silicon. I appears to be a problem in some units where the silicon die is mated with the materials that hold it (fiberglass PCB or its interconnects).

The idea is to have everyone terrified at all times. That is the most efficient scenario for control, as you don’t have to police actual rules if the rules are made up and the consequences are lethal.

Doesn't this method have diminishing returns? As soon as the populace believes anything and everything will get them killed by the state, there's nothing preventing the populous from rising against the state because they have nothing to lose.

Given the bizzaro timeline we're in it would not surprise me to get a crazy outcome:

• GOP lawsuit wins, forcing the ballot to be Biden
• Biden wins the general election, immediately resigns and...
• Harris is the President.

What would be really hilarious is, I think that would allow her to serve two more 4 year terms after her 2025-2029 term ends because she would not have run as President the first time.

No idea. As Rafael Cruz- er, Ted Cruz.
