  • Nvidia falls 14% in premarket trading as China's DeepSeek triggers global tech sell-off

    Jump

  • Wth?! Like seriously.

    I assume they are running the smallest version of the model?

    Still, very impressive.

    Jump

  • I disagree.

    Like it or hate it, crypto is here to stay.

    And it's actually one of the few technologies that, at least with some of the coins, empowers normal people.

  • Because the silicon valley bros had convinced the national security wonks in the Beltway that it was paramount for national security, technological leadership and economic prosperity.

    I think this will go down as the biggest grift in history.

    Kevin Walmsley reported on Deepseek 10 days ago. Last week, the smart money exited big tech. This week the panic starts.

    I'm getting big dot-com 2.0 vibes from all of this.

  • Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won.

    Jump

  • This, 100%.

    I remember when Democrats had a filibuster proof majority under Obama.

    And they still failed to pass single payer healthcare, because of former VP candidate Joe Lieberman. Like, talk about lack of party discipline.

    Republican politicians at least deliver what they say they will deliver.

  • Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

    Jump

  • It is, but it's also a very efficient and difficult to evade tax. For many EU countries the VAT revenue is equal or larger than the income tax revenue.

    Most Europeans don't mind it. You can control your spending, so VAT doesn't hit us in inconvenient ways, like for example, taxes on cars and property.

    European countries compensate poor people with good social programs. So in the end, poor people are getting more benefits than the VAT they pay.

  • The next MAGA NPC update that's coming...

    Jump

  • For a moment I thought this was about AI and the stock market.

  • Donald Trump Pulling US Troops From Europe in Blow to NATO Allies: Report

    Jump

  • You are right. But I still see most people refer to the Plaza accords. I guess those are just more well known.

  • Donald Trump Pulling US Troops From Europe in Blow to NATO Allies: Report

    Jump

  • As a European, I say fine and sure.

    But then we also withdraw from the Plaza accords.

    Ever since China has winded down their US debt holdings, we have picked up the tab and the EU countries are now the largest foreign holder of treasuries.

    Time to start selling.

    And also, we only buy from European defense firms, no more spending on American defense.

  • Nvidia drops 16% as China's DeepSeek AI model sparks global tech sell-off

    Jump

  • Billions have already been spent on building chip fabs which will never be profitable.

    Yes, China is doing the US taxpayer a solid by giving them an opportunity to prevent losing money on AI, but I think this administration is going to find a way to send those billions to silicon valley anyway.

  • Trump cancels sanctions on Israeli settlers in West Bank

    Jump

  • You are talking about people who voted loyal to Democrats for decades, donated and campaigned.

    The democratic party took their votes for granted and wasn't even willing to talk to them.

  • Trump cancels sanctions on Israeli settlers in West Bank

    Jump

  • So what's your point?

    Was this election so unimportant to the Democrats that they couldn't pressure Israel into a ceasefire in October?

    Biden had all the power for the past 15 months. Failing to deliver anything and claiming they are "working tirelessly" can only mean incompetence or deception on the part of Democrats.

    Blaming Palestinian-Americsns for staying home when American bombs were killing their families is just such a weak take.

  • Never seen him this happy

    Jump

  • I agree.

    This also isn't 2016.

    The American voting public knew what they were voting for and they cast their ballots and gave Trump a presidency and a Congressional majority.

    Businesses are responding to the changed political reality. And we also know how businesses operate, in an amoral fashion.

    If anyone thought Coca-Cola was some paragon of virtue, then they were naive.

  • Locked

    Bernie was our compromise

    Jump

  • I mean if people are gonna have guns and people with mental crises who go and murder other people, then let's choose the lesser evil:

    a) Sandy Hook style shooting up a school, killing many kids and teachers

    b) New Orleans style driving a car into a public event, killing many partygoers

    c) Luigi style murdering a single person who is arguably themselves guilty of causing the legal death and suffering of thousands

    Now what would be the lesser evil in this scenario?

    Obviously, I prefer no dead people, which would require regulating guns and providing mental healthcare and a social safety net to people, but alas, that option seems to be impossible.

  • Does a Catholics community really belong here?

    Jump

  • A bit late, but I just want to say, you are doing it right. I hope you find a new home for your community.

    If people want less bigoted religions, then they will need to support initiatives by reasonable people to steer those religions.

    Otherwise, if all reasonable people leave a religion, all that remains will be a cesspool of toxicity and ignorance.

  • Big oil firms knew of dire effects of fossil fuels as early as 1950s, memos show

    Jump

  • In the 1990s, we all knew. And we had enough time and the technology to stop it.

    That technology was nuclear, since solar and wind just weren't developed enough back then.

    But we collectively decided that nuclear power was too risky, so now we are here today.

  • Millions at risk of losing health insurance following Trump's victory

    Jump

  • That subreddit was one of the few things I miss from the Trump days.

    Looking forward to the quality leopardsatamyface posts the next four years

  • Swing-State Voters Disillusioned With Kamala Harris Can Swap for Two Non-Swing-State Votes

    Jump

  • Some people are downvoting you, but I just want to give you a high five for trying to make best out of a shitty situation.🙏

  • Query regarding charging speeds

    Jump

  • Ahh, I didn't know it was already June next year.

    Hopefully my current phone will last another year.

  • Query regarding charging speeds

    Jump

  • Yep, this is it.

    They are trading battery longevity for faster charging.

    Personally, I generally prefer battery longevity, since that is the main factor that causes me to buy a new phone.

    This is also the main reason I would like to buy a Fairphone for my next phone. I can get a new battery for $50 and replace it myself. And with 8-10 years of updates, I figure I can actually use it for 8 years with two battery replacements along the way.
