I bet Viktor felt too uncomfortable to tell him "no please don't come stay in the USA, you are political poison"

Oh yeah it's so common to threaten allied counties to get what you want. What the hell are you even saying. Stop trying to normalize this insanity.

Wow thanks for that amazing suggestion. Of course we will be patient while your president threatens our allies with war!

You think tech is not going to be affected by this warmongering?

I think it's one of the biggest threats, if not the biggest, for US tech startups wanting to sell to customers outside of the US.

I don't consider myself very politically active, neither are my friends. But we are all looking to detach from the US and its companies. If you are a fledgling startup, in the coming weeks you might just lose out on many of your potential customers.

Buddy if you're 27 and already describe your life as very tired, there's more going on than pure aging...

Bullshit, Belastingdienst has been on Azure for a very long time.

Not familiar of Oxfords admissions, but if they apply affirmative action as done in other universities in the US, this take of Thomas Sowell is very relevant: https://youtu.be/7AyhaYkikCs?t=57

Sorry, I should have been more clear: the resolution is equal to two 4k monitors glued together.

I have a 2x 4k ultrawide. The Samsung Oddysey 55(?)inch variant.

Not only is it very bright and legible, the fact that the screen takes up my field of view helps me focus.

And I connect it to my MacBook using two seperate HDMI cables, so it's essentially two seperate monitors without bezels. I think I'll probably keep this monitor for a decade or so: any higher DPI and it doesn't make any difference because you have to size up the text. Any brighter and my eyes will burn out of their sockets.

ASML not only sells the machines that makes chips (or analyses them like Yieldstar) but also makes software that customers use to work with the machine's - whether that is for designing, tweaking or analyzing chips.

There is not enough power in the region to facilitate ASML demand. Rumors of dc's opening in France instead.
