I really doubt Deepseek is subsidised. It's roughly the same price everywhere you look. Deepseek is using the Huawei hardware (as far as I managed to understand from various articles) and hence the savings.

I'd do 10 years even for 20 mil if that is what it takes to make sure my 2 kids and my wife are set. I won't be able to earn that much in a decade anyway.

By that logic, my NAS (TOS6) falls under that category.

EU doesn't need to convice anyone. They can just make it mandatory and block anyone that doesn't comply.

I don't think you realise why researchers ended up in this situation.

You want to get a Phd? you have to publish something... anything.

You want money for experiments? You need publications even if you do the rest of the theoretical work on your own.

You want to get funds for some new or to continue some research? You need publications.

I'm not defending those that publish all sorts of crap as research but the whole system is rigged.

Everyone is asking for as many publications and citations as possible to even lend you a lab for 1 day to test something.

Excuse my language but what the f are you expecting?

you could buy the ones with Americium in most of the EU and US too. I think you can still find some, here and there.

The HSBC app runs fine on my rooted phone with a few magisk plugins and 5 marketplaces installed and a ton of sideloaded apps.

The law is about what he is spending. If I go and pay for ads on my own initiative, he doesn't need to declare it just like Basescu didn't declare all the stuff NGOs paid for him back in the days.

EDIT: I do find it impossible for him to spend 0 on it though. You have to travel from A to B (at the very least)

That is not niche at all. Pretty much any gov't, corp, etc that needs long term achives could do with faster access. 2 min is light speed since it's low(er) cost/decade/gb

You can have 64-128GB RAM on a laptop these days. You could push to 3-4 easy.

Just order a standard, add infested one, and a basic chinese board for it. Sellers will flash them for your panel and all. It can't any more basic than that.

I'm using AVR/STM for IO. have plenty of them around. Just loaded with a basic serial to IO passthrough program. Can't complain for £2 each on aliexpress.

EDIT: added STM.

You're lucky if it's only 2 and the approval process takes less than months.

You are making a few (?wrong) assumptions here:

- that we are first

- oxygen is needed for all life forms

- the habitable zone that is ideal for us the only one that can give birth to intelligent life

- magnetic field is needed for life to exist/radiation kills off all life

Yes. They dispose of it well... by shipping it in Asia. Look up the whole scandal with plastic shipped to various places in Asia. Crap that even China considers impossible to recycle and refused to allow entry to.

Maybe you're too young to remember the days of paper bags, hemp shopping bags, shoes and shirts. "more environmentally friendly"? Most alternatives are more environmentally friendly in a long run than plastic.

I don't think you realize the ammount or scrutiny and approvals required to allow an exployee to use a sub on the main domain in corp.. A very very.. very limited ammount or people can do DNS changes for the main domain with a crap ton of signatures and eyes monitoring the whole thing.

Dave can test his stuff on a newly bought domain for testing or the internal domains.
