    The groomers in the MIC have claimed soooo many kids who just wanted to make video games. Gross and sad.

    This is why I focused on graphics hardware for so long… Then some arsehole came up with running AI on GPUs.

      It’s easier than you’d think. The applicant pool doesn’t tend to be the best and brightest.

    Here’s a great idea: let’s not produce any weapons and disarm unilaterally. What could go wrong?

      How about we split the difference and only cut two thirds of all military spending? We would still be pouring more money into it than any country on earth.

    I think this is also true for investing in war companies (its the department of war now, so no need to keep up the defense charade), even if it’s just part of an index fund or ETF.

        Sadly, a matching 401k became the standard corporate retirement package over a pension.

        However, you do still have a choice of what to invest in, even with a 401k.
