Don't think I'd trust the software developed under a sweatshop-like 12 hours a day 6 days a week regime, sorry VW. Software made in the us by foremost experts in the field is bad enough to run into firetrucks as it is, this shit will explode when you press the engine start button.
He, like most people on the left today, lives in the land of make-believe where trillions of dollars grow on trees, and a million of freeloaders per year is no big deal for the country's crumbling infrastructure, so as long as those people don't show up in his proverbial backyard.
Um, no. USSR had labor unions. And workers most certainly weren't the "owners" of anything. Government was. CPSU nomenclature lived like kings, everyone else kinda got by. Source: grew up in the USSR, so have some experience with the whole "socialism" thing.
100% pure virtue signaling on their part. They want to be accepted by their social circle, which is currently promoting socialism while ignoring its ramifications.
As Trump has shown on Friday, nobody is abandoning anything for anything. Watch the Left completely implode when it was suggested that sanctuary cities, which nominally welcome and protect illegals, are turning against illegals. This is grade A application of Saul Alinsky's rule: "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules." This would totally work on the Silicon Valley types who hope to retire as millionaires when they're 40.
I've been in the industry for 20 years, and I have not yet seen a programmer that can fit more than a few hours of real, actual, focused work in any given day. The rest is just filler like meetings, bullshitting on slack, goofing off on Reddit or something else. I don't think the Chinese are any different. So most (or all) of this insane overtime likely also consists of filler. Under the definition that you have to spend all 8 hours of your workday actually doing work, we're more or less all "slackers".
Where he's wrong, though, is I can pretty much guarantee you they're less productive with this schedule than they would be with 40 hours a week. What's more, if they worked 40 hours or even less, they'd likely be more creative as well, and less resentful towards their workplace. Henry Ford established this to be true even for assembly line work a hundred years ago, and this is considerably more complicated and requires orders of magnitude more creativity than assembly line work.
Seriously people, loosen up. The dude is basically the coolest innovator in the world, he can do whatever the fuck he pleases, and I'll be OK with that, as long as we get to Mars in 10 years. Elon, if you're reading this, make a Tesla electric bicycle. I have cash on the ready.
More like, Zuck is trying to regulate his competition to death, while also absolving himself from the shit that's going on on his platform. This strategy worked for many a megacorp. Megacrops can afford the costs of compliance. Smaller companies can't.
Yeah, now try intercepting a salvo of 4000 of them, at the same time, each with multiple separate warheads. Heck, try to intercept even a few dozen. This is a very asymmetric problem that's very unlikely to be solved to any kind of satisfactory degree.
That wouldn't be a problem if they came with full warranty for the entire 2 years, including warranty against things like drops and water damage. But they don't.
Avenatti is going to jail (along with Jussie Smollett's lawyer, his co-conspirator). Global warming is turning around. Mueller report has nothing in it. ISIS is destroyed. Dems run a bunch of clowns in the primaries. Liberal media has completely self-destructed. And so on and so forth. If things go like this, Trump is getting a Reagan-style landslide in 2020.
What field? In my field (machine learning, computer vision) I don't think I've ever read a paper by any author affiliated with any non-Israeli Middle Eastern institution. It's as if nothing is going on there at all scientifically. There's a lot coming out of China (lots of froth, but some outstanding papers, too), a lot less from Europe, recently some good papers from Russia started appearing at a rate of 2-3 per year. Every now and then you see a paper from Israel (they seem to be predominantly focused on turning their inventions into businesses rather than going to conferences though). Lots from Canada, of course (Toronto, Montreal). Everything else could basically disappear tomorrow and nobody would notice.
If they weren't, the news would say "People who eat 3+ eggs a week also have higher risk of heart disease, but association w/ eggs disappears when controlling for other cholesterol intake."
And it will be about as successful at its primary objective. Though as a secondary objective the Star Wars undid the USSR, which was a huge benefit to the world.
AMD Ryzen chips are pretty great right now, on both the low and the high end, and there's a significant update coming out mid-year. Moreover, at the low end they ship with much better integrated GPUs. And they're a bit cheaper, too.
Liberals will now find reasons to hate on this, too. Basically Trump can control them through reverse psychology. Support Jews, and liberals become literally Hitler. Checkmate.

Tax breaks? In Europe? Please.

Should be fine to dump them into LA then, amirite? https://twitter.com/cher/statu...
Immigrants, yes. Now do illegal aliens.
How long did bugfixing take after than 48-hour long programming session?

Hillary Clinton begs to differ

All of that is "no longer important" only if you don't mind being nickel and dimed for play time, and providing a profit margin to Google.

Intel has been consistently aiming for their own feet over the past couple of years. Maybe people will reconsider their ways. I certainly have.
Most people don't play games, and for most of the rest integrated GPU is still quite adequate.
