  1. 2nm is cutting edge process stuff, so that plus opening a new fab it's not super surprising they're having difficulty. 10-20% yield rates are pretty horrible though. That's a HUGE number of defects in their process to find and remediate
  2. Are they using any self driving tech on their semis? It's not clear if that's what they mean by "advanced driver assistance systems" that failed to engage
  3. Wtf are you talking about? Twitter was the official platform for US policy 2016-2020. Cabinet members learned of their dismissal from tweets, not face to face conversation. Twitter may not have been growing rapidly by the time of its acquisition, but it wasn't hemorrhaging users and advertising partners like it is today. Not to mention it's significant loss of functionality and baseline usability since it's acquisition. I guess I'm saying I don't disagree that other platforms are eating Twitter's lunch now, but I think that's a correlation not a causal link
  4. IDK, I think "make free speech legal again" monarchists and daily wire photographers are likely to give an honest framing of what's happening. They have such a storied history of doing just that
  5. Pretty funny interaction yesterday at a 9/11 event
  6. The campaign is basically a story crafted version of the recurring co-op gamemode. I had a blast with it and it's a GORGEOUS game if you can crank the settings up. I'm looking forward to checking out some of the multiplayer with buddies one of these nights The set pieces in the last act of the campaign are some top shelf 40k chicanery
  7. Notably, not fired for the derailment or near-strike that took the feds coming in to save them. Fired for fucking around lol. Good lord.
  8. NFS CEO railroaded for running a train on chief legal counsel https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/11/business/norfolk-southern-ceo-fired/index.html New YorkCNN — Norfolk Southern CEO Alan Shaw was fired for cause by the railroad’s board for “engaging in a consensual relationship with the company’s chief legal officer,” who was also terminated, the railroad announced Wednesday evening. A statement from the company on Wednesday said that Shaw had been dismissed “for cause,” which could prevent him from collecting the kind of exit package that CEOs often receive when shown the door. The company originally disclosed that Shaw was the subject of an investigation on Sunday. Shaw had been CEO of one of the nation’s four largest freight railroads for just over two years. But it had been a turbulent tenure that included contentious labor negotiations that nearly resulted in an economy-crippling strike, a major derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, that released tank cars full of toxic materials into a small Ohio town, sparking health concerns and complaints about continuing symptoms by some residents, and a proxy fight with an activist shareholder group who wanted Shaw replaced. Shaw survived that shareholder vote, but could not survive the investigation into his personal behavior. The company said Nabanita Nag has been terminated from her roles as executive vice president corporate affairs, chief legal officer and corporate secretary, effective immediately, in connection with the preliminary findings of the Board’s ongoing investigation. It announced it had picked CFO Mark George as the company’s new CEO.
  9. IMO the mission planning for a seasoned USAF test pilot and NASA astronaut is probably a bit less complicated than for a bunch of commercial crew. I'm looking forward to seeing more actual EVA and not just "open the nose and poke my head out", but this is an important proof of concept and flight/vac validation for the suits
  10. Then it's not really a fine, it's just the cost of doing business
  11. TBH this mission was moreso about de/re pressurizing the capsule than it was doing sick flips on an EVA. Since the dragon is a single chamber, it meant EVERYONE was in their vac suit with zero margin for error or airlock to take shelter in if they couldn't reseal the capsule in orbit
  12. That plus the first full depressurization and repressurization of a manned Crew Dragon in orbit. Lotta firsts are gonna happen overnight. It's a fuckin shame it's elmos company doing it
  13. it's wild how they all get put through the trashy stepford wives machine and come out looking the same. Kim guilfoyle fell down a similarly unfortunate hole. It's like they develop body dysmorphia or something, it beggars belief
  14. Careful now, thats an undecided voter! If you say anything mean you'll FORCE him to vote for trump!! Or maybe he's just a run of the mill #bothsides kind of waterhead
  15. Hahahahahaha "just to be clear: you don't currently have a plan?"
  16. It's gonna be very interesting to see time of speaking comparisons, and it's not gonna be a good look for ABC
  17. These moderators are cowards and are kowtowing to trump. Just like ABC and the media companies always fucking have.
  18. Then don't invite him at all. He doesn't answer questions. He never has. He just states his line and his lines over and over and over again.
  19. Him not answering "do you want Ukraine to win" and simply saying "I want to save lives" is the line out of the movie that the bad guy says
  20. Wow I didn't see an orban name-drop coming
