Maybe you should use a source that is at least self consistent?

Inverse relationship between unemployment and returns - proceeds to show a table where the lowest quintiles of unemployment have the lowest returns. That doesn’t seem very inverse to me.

In any case even if you don’t use some trash site that can’t get a basic editor/proofreader and correct that error, it’s not counter to anything already told to you by me and others.

Are you arguing that the stock market is not correlated with unemployment? That’s a weird and plain stupid hill to die on because anybody can disprove it with 3 seconds of googling.

OP: “A train can go hundreds of miles per hour faster” Anyway I think this proves the limitations of this analogy.

320 km/h is not hundreds of miles per hour faster than the top speed of a Tesla, especially one like the Plaid marketed for speed. I don’t give a fuck if you’re from Europe or the US, high speed trains aren’t faster than high speed sports cars. This is from the perspective of someone who’s not an idiot.

> A train can go hundreds of miles per hour faster than a Tesla sports car. But which is quicker off the mark?

Top speed of most trains is below that of a Tesla let alone super cars. The trains that can go significantly faster (but not really hundreds of miles per hour faster - Maglevs - are capable of similar acceleration). This analogy is not the greatest for the point being conveyed.

> Since 2018 we have experienced a series of tremors in AI. We know that eventually the big quake will happen — it’s inevitable.

You can say/type anything, including this. But you offer no actual argument why this is true.

> And it’s clear that we are building the subconscious of what will eventually become AGI.

No it is not “clear”.

Since you have the legal background can you explain how the CEO publicly stating in writing “Everyone exited was offered 3 months of severance, which is 50% more than legally required.” is not actionable at all? Also how is this definitely not a WARN act violation?

I was responding to the claim WinCE was mainly used for homebrew. That’s not true. It wasn’t used much, but what it was used for was mainly commercial releases.

> Windows CE but it was mainly the homebrew community

Name some?

Granted I’ve been out of the homebrew dev scene for a while, but this doesn’t sound right. Developing for Windows CE would require a commercial/proprietary copy of Platform Builder and Dreamcast BSP. This is not very “homebrew” friendly at all - especially when there were a ton of homebrew libraries and OSes for Dreamcast through the years, eg Kallistios.
