Funny that back in the day it was considered a “heavy” on resources desktop but now it’s quite lightweight.

His eyes wet…

(I looked up the original script, it’s “Kiazi’s children. Their faces wet.” But I’m gratified that you knew what I meant.)

I used a NeXT mono slab for 8-10 months while working at a NeXT reseller in the mid 1990s. It was a fantastic experience.

Each Nvidia rack is 120 kilowatts, so the power consumption is about the same as 10 racks of GPUs, FWIW.

How much did they make over the years? Is it true that they issued 60 million SSL certificates (I read this but couldn't verify it)?

Media is hard to get right/proper, and tempering the profit motive with social strictures works when everyone is mostly in agreement (I mean inside the organization).

However when the divide is so contentious, essentially binary, appealing to only the profit motive is probably not going to get the desired results.

In a supposedly very conservative red state, Arkansas, the recent TV ad message run by the GOP candidate was “young men who are gaming at home and eating Cheetos all day are why we had to implement work requirements for welfare”; it was a very negative ad that made young men look like slackers, layabouts etc.

Of course, only about one percent of welfare recipients are young men; single moms in middle age are the ones who are a large percentage of those receiving the benefits, for very different reasons than Cheetos consumption.

But it shows how attacking young men when they aren’t even the crux of the problem is en vogue.

BTW House Speaker Johnson has said the same thing on TV about young men.

How does that benefit Nebraska?

Any evidence that it is in a CDN? Some CDNs charge for the unique bytes/files stored only.
