> Do you think investors didn't know
If they didn't know then they were wilfully blind. *I* knew, just from reading El Reg. I have no sympathy for them at all.
> The investors say Nvidia was supposed
No. That's not what they're saying. They are saying that when the CEO was specifically asked if the bitcoiners were responsible for the huge spike in sales, he said "no".
As much as I have no sympathy for the share traders who lost money, people here seem to be missing the fact that the suit is complaining that Nvidia execs *lied to the market* about their business.
CEO:
- We have 2 types of customers - Group A and Group B
- Everyone knows that the GroupB market is ephemeral and will probably implode soon
- Don't worry - 95% of our sales are to Group A so we're going to carry on making loads of money
If you read the linked pdf in the article, the quotes in the suit are quite iffy, and do sound as though the CEO is deliberately misleading, if not downright lying to, the market.
I don't think the SEC takes kindly to that sort of thing, do they? C.f. Musk et.al.
In the Current Climate™, Mrs 68 is teaching her fitness classes over the intarwebz, and everyone is getting to learn how zoom works.
Apart from the cantankerous biddies who insist on
- "I can't see you" (when everyone else can)
- "I can't hear you" (when everyone else can)
- Refusing to heed instructions as to how to remediate the first two
- Refusing to be muted "in case"
etc. etc.
Technology eh.... who'd have it?
This. Absolutely.
It's no good Boris telling us to use supermarket delivery services.
I couldn't create an account, and once we'd filled up SWMBO's shopping basket, we couldn't get a delivery date. Nor any information on when we would be able to get a date.
If they're the ones I'm thinking of (just at the right place for your thumb to hit) they have caused me, many a time, to toggle Silent Running on - usually when in the middle of a pitched battle that I'm losing, with no shields and 40% hull.
I really should change those key bindings one day..
> The idea of a biometric door lock is very sound
No, no it's not.
In your examples, you are storing the dog-walker et.al's biometric information.
Why should they give you access to their phone, their own house (if they too have one of these locks)?
How are you storing that information? What if you get hacked?
It's not a good idea. I suspect it will be repeated on here many many times : Biometric data is not authentication, it's identification.
1) It's now at least $120k
2) The link to the site/page concerned must have been accidently deleted... these things happen. http://theoatmeal.com/blog/funnyjunk_letter
3) Whilst deriding him for a host of failings, you also said "sending out the takedowns becomes a full-time job." This is exactly why he has taken the path he has. Read the original.
Happy to help.
at least for me.
LinkedIn was one of my 'standard low-security' passwords, it seems not to have been one of the leaked ones, but The Password Gorilla now protects all my work and home logins (across fedora and win7 - just need a gorilla client for small fondleslab now) and every single one is different.....
About bl**dy time I did it, too.... and hopefully it will encourage everyone else to do the same.
Adam,
I'd just like to say that I love F13 and 12, and I'm looking forward to loving F14.
I haven't found a way that I can contribute back to it yet (apart from encouraging my favourite paid-for app to support it), but when I can be arsed, my work machine will be upgrading from 13 to 14.
Ubuntu to play music and vids at home (although even that's looking less appealing these days) and Fedora for my "I have to get shit done" laptop.
Cheers.
