Unfortunately not, each version of RAM uses a different physical slot.

Well, they're entirely different, not just slot. Intel 12th/13th/14th gens all support DDR4 or DDR5. However, the motherboards you buy can only support one or the other. I don't think there are a single AMD CPU that supports both?

Amazon was founded in 1994 and turned their first profit in 2001. A better example would be Uber, which ran negative until they had less than one year of runway remaining and then were somehow allowed to scam pedestrians into keeping their unprofitable taxi business solvent.

what do you mean by scam pedestrians?

Uber lost all of the money all of the original investors gave them, and sold that bag of dog shit to the public. Everyone who bought the IPO lost money.

Here's the other five threads:

Not really. This is attempt to refute that NYT article that was posted 5 times.

It’s already priced in. You’re just paying more for the features you aren’t using.

The way it’s supposed to work is that the government sells bonds and the money goes away. Much like your original premise, it doesn’t much make sense that people think modern monetary policy only thought up quantitative easing and not quantitative tightening.

Can’t speak to how it will end up working, but its definitely not a surprise.

They mean that the corporation is paying for the people downloading 70 terabytes from them.

Ahh, I misunderstood.

It's an aggregate of the months you're selecting (2019/04 - 2020/03). If you select just March you can see what they're seeing:

Ah, thank you. I wish they included the URL, or shown the entire filter they used.

It looks as if some Firefox users bailed to try out the new Edge since the update? Chrome usage remained mostly constant.

I'm curious to see if they stick with it, or switch back to Firefox. I like how the article talks as if it was some sort of inevitable milestone we've all been waiting for. And now, instantly, the second that Edge finally eek-ed past Firefox (if we consider desktop usage only), it will never change. It will just keep climbing and climbing onto browser dominance :)

Pretty lame article if you ask me. Not very interesting.

This is something I love about watching business / finance news channels. Everyone is trying as hard as they can not to lie because it's illegal in their context.

Well, the alternative is to let people talk about "Funding secured" on twitter, which would certainly be more interesting. ;)

Business / finance news channels tend to be pretty influenced by whoever advertises on them and thereby pays their bills.

I’d go even further: I hope it keeps falling until a better crypto currency is worth more. Bitcoin even existing proves the market is more speculative than functional.

there does seem to be some disentanglement from bitcoin: https://coinmarketcap.com/

Well no, every system requires people with power to be generally good. No system survives with only bad actors. You’re incorrectly assuming a generous billionaire isn’t a feature of capitalism / democracy.
