To add to this: A certain type of Soviet submarine used a lead-bismuth alloy as coolant for their reactor. The coolant solidifies at ambient temperature so it had to be heated indefinitely by some way or another or else it solidified and trashed the reactor. I don’t think any of them exist anymore since Russia wasn’t able to afford sustaining the giant navy after the Soviet collapse.

Just goes to show how insane nuclear submarine engineering is, or was at some point.

Fair point. Can’t argue with that.

Ah I see, understandable. Still it’s presented like he’s the universal/everyone’s president.

I like how his name is “President Joe Biden” as if not to be confused with the other Joe Biden. Also this insinuates that he is the president of Threads, or the Fediverse, or even the world maybe?

Why would anyone want to intentionally produce more than the current demand which lowers prices and therefore profit?

Unless you mean they produce more to lower their own costs, which I doubt would really be the case here.

You seem to be missing the point.

in fact the US is stricter on drugs and alcohol than a lot of it’s peer nations

This is exactly why I posted my comment: Those things are regulated since they have age restrictions/bans/taxes(tarrifs?). TikTok doesn’t have any of those. It’s not like you can tax TikTok use like you can tax alcohol use so I don’t understand your comparison with Smirnoff.

Do you also think the same about alcohol, tobacco, drugs and gambling?

This reminds me of the e-SATA port that was also a USB port.

And it should require copying the title from the article and not allow editorializing it (or only slightly).

Uhh… Aren’t… Aren’t these two statements kinda contradictory?

No no, you see; it performs reasonably consistency under varying real world conditions but for a CPU to truly shine it needs to handle all workloads, including unrealistic synthetic ones.

The exact same ones yes.

Or if you’re a psychopath with a desktop full of icons and files. Shudders

Everyone already gave a shit about this a long time ago. It’s also one of the reasons Ethereum switched from proof of work to proof of stake.

What do we want?
_More profit! _ When do we want it?
Now!

Good for the car that’s going to park, terrible for the parked cars who will then barely get out.

Over here stores are increasing their prices because people steal at the self-checkout. So they reduce costs by not having cashiers but then increase prices due to theft. Quite some logic.

You’d assume it’s an easy balance to make: if (saving on cashiers - loss due to theft) > 0 implement self-checkout else don’t implement.

They’ll end up spending more time arguing about it than implementing it
