Honestly, this shit needs to stop. Acknowledging that some fascists have been good at something at some point does not detract in any way from being anti-fascist.

If you claim that fascist are dumb, stupid and can achieve nothing, what do you think the masses will think about your message when the fascists turn out to be competent? They will wonder what other things you are wrong about.

So I say to you: stop being a fascist enabler.

That's just ignoring history. There are plenty of good reasons to hate the Nazis without needing to do that.

In the similar way, it's not necessary to dismiss Soviet Union's early modernization successes in order to blame them for their crimes against humanity.

Net profits $2.3B. "Poor financial results". How does one reconcile these two things?

But yeah, I live in a country that has had about 0% growth since 2008 :-| Perhaps this is bad news for you rich yankees.

Also note that the automotive industry seems to be pretty much flatlining for the last 5 years or so: https://www.vettafi.com/indexing/index/autos -- so Tesla is not doing particurarily badly in the large picture.

Exactly. What changed? Why does Zuck now takes it seriously?

Does all this sound like they're actually loving Trump or are there credible threat to their health from the Trump admin? They seemed to fall into line so smoothly and fast that it seems a bit weird.

Might be that you really don't need VMs but just lightweight namespace containers. If so, you can use docker/podman, systemd-nspawn or various other tools. The overhead will be less than 1% if you stay within the same architecture as your host.

I should really start looking into shorting stocks. I was looking at the news and Nvidia's stock and thought "huh, the stock hasn't reacted to these news at all yet, I should probably short this".

And then proceeded to do fuck all.

I guess this is why some people are rich and others are like me.

For the cost of an education we could end up with smart people who contribute to the economy and society. Instead we are dumping billions into this shit.

Those are different "we"s.

Wayland is not experimental.

I've been trying to sell mine. Went down to 60% of the original price and no takers.

My tip: Don't take funny-colored borders or funny keyboards unless you're 120% sure you don't want to sell it in half a year.
