Certainly not. Nepal's Gen Z literally overthrew their government due to inequality and corruption.

As did Korea. When their president tried to impose martial law, a crowd including legislators stormed the building and impeached him.

They were "helped"

Well I guess it doesn't count then. Pack it in everyone, America was nice for some while it lasted but we got help from the French during the revolution so it doesn't count.

Everyone is “helped.”

Quantum is a scam. It's embarrassing to see it being peddled as the next big thing, with public companies being valued in the billions. For technology that does not exist in any useful sense.

You think that manpower will work for free? And the resources will just turn into product at no cost?

Once upon a time, people went to jail for insider trading on the stock market. Like that was an actual thing that was enforced with rigor.

I guess it makes our betters like Peolosi look bad though.

No need for baseless speculation, it's well known that no insurance company is willing to insure transit through the straight while it's an active war zone.

DDR4lyfe is my new motto.

Fr. I'm selling a matched pair of 48 GiB DDR5 non-ECC 5600 SO-DIMM sticks on secondary markets for $1100. I'm not touching DDR5 again for the foreseeable future, not for 5 years or more. My last foray was 4x 64 GiB 6000 ECC UDIMMs for 2 Ryzen 9 boxes. (Holy shit, that ram is worth $5500 now. It's more than the entire system cost originally including GPUs.)

I'm interested in building a Ryzen 9 box with ECC UDIMMs, but only 2 sticks due to reported stability issues with 4. Did it work well? Would you recommend it? (I would only be running Linux).

Why are you disparaging something you admit to knowing nothing about? Read the book or keep your opinion to yourself.

If you read the book it becomes clear the author was a key enabler of Mark and Sheryl. Should she be allowed to comment? Of course. But don't think for a second she's a good person for doing so.

I have read the book, I didn’t mind her conscience surfacing at all. I’m not sure I’d want to go up against an organisation like Meta, and having first hand accounts of how these people love money and power more than they do values and people.

There is XMAG, but beware the expense ratio is much higher than the mainstream indices.
