Re: Doesn't make sense
Irrespective of what you think of the guy - why do you think it was unmerited - is it fundamentally unreasonable for a creator of value to be awarded a portion of it?

Take the CEO of Britain’s most successful cyber security exit and put them down.
Not a fan of darktrace at all - a triumph of UI over capability, however as the CEO she deserves tremendous credit for what she succeeded in doing - taking a shitty product and expecting immense value from it. One of very few uk tech CEOs.
Those who can, do. Those who can’t, take potshots from the sidelines.
I’m sure she has better things to do with her time than support the government, but she’s choosing to donate her time to public service. In other countries, this would be celebrated.
Hershey’s chocolate has a distinctive taste due to the presence of butyric acid in the chocolate, which is the same chemical compound that can give vomit its characteristic rancid taste and smell. Butyric acid can occur naturally in chocolate as it comes from the milk fats during a process called lipolysis. The fatty acids in the milk decompose, resulting in a rancid taste similar to an obese ballerina’s nether regions after a particularly strenuous scent from swan lake followed by a marathon and a week without showering.
I’m center left politically and mixed race, have many(not just the one) friends, worked with and hired the most diverse set of people imaginable over decades in tech, yet for some reason this sentence irks me. Choosing skin colour as the sole characteristic to represent the diversity of experience and thought necessary for this critical role feels ridiculous and having just running a thought experiment where the word white was replaced with any other skin colour/racial group/identity driven divisor and could not come up with an acceptable equivalent, made me question whether we have gone too far. El Reg was never a source of divisive identity politics in the past. People should be judged and accepted based on the entirety of what they have said and done, not what they look like.
The company has consistently over promised and under delivered. I imagined they see this as another convenient excuse to cover up their continued failure. My suspicion is they are the walking dead, and we'll see some sort of face saving exit. Most likely suspect is pretty obvious. It looks like a real mess on this side of the pond.
So do I. An innocent life is an innocent life.
But there is a sharp moral distinction between a genocidal organisation that is sworn to destroy Israel - and has happily provided lots of video evidence of what that means in terms of brutally murdering civilians, and is ideologically supported in polls by more than 50% of Gaza; and a country defending itself and doing its best to avoid collateral damage in a military conflict, especially where the numbers of Palestinian casualties are reported in aggregate by a recognised terrorist organisation that has proven itself to lie on multiple occasions.
Sorry if that idea is too difficult for you to understand
And let's get a grip here - most Israeli's would give land for peace any day of the week. However as the Palestinian's have shown - the only option with them at this time is land for terrorism.
No. He opened his big mouth on the 7th.
And the beheaded babies (not clear on exact number - does it really matter?), beheaded pregnant woman with fetus cut out and stabbed stories have been confirmed. Sorry if that does not fit in your world view. Does it change your opinion?
Guess they are only Jews so it doesn’t really matter to you.
Correct term is not ghetto. It’s a standalone region with borders.
The reason there is a blockade is because they keep bringing in weapons to stack Israeli. Hamas are not like this because they are trapped in Gaza, they are trapped in Gaza because they are like this.
The reason for much anger over Paddy’s comments is on the day of the tragedy and for days afterwards - including before the response had even begun - he tweeted and liked multiple comments criticising Israel, not once acknowledging the horror of what has been done. One can support Palestinians and a two state solution and feel terrible for Gazans without implicitly condoning the cutting up of pregnant women, beheading and burning alive babies, killing children in front of their families etc. He chose not to do that.
If he had really wanted to open his well known big mouth he could have respected that.
They realise that their increasingly egregious rent extraction from their customers has accelerated RISC-V adoption and this is the first step to their post monopoly world. They used to be seen as Switzerland but are increasingly perceived as Russia, and not a reliable partner.
Hiding behind a demonstration chip is a thin veil that is easily seen through.
My bet is they end up becoming a fabless manufacturer over time.
Strongly disagree - I reckon ARM must understand they have alienated some of their largest customers who have begun deploying RISC-V in lower end designs and slowly pushing it up to higher complexity designs. The writing is on the wall and they know they have to maximise the value they extract before it's too late. ARM's strength historically was that it was always Switzerland - the neutral player in the middle that everyone could work with. Post the overpriced acquisition and the Softbank funded spending spree they needed to deliver more revenue; initially to justify the investment and now more desperately to recover MS's reputation with a successful IPO and subsequent growth before the mirage disappears and the world moves all in on RISC-V. As part of their response here they started getting greedy. They moved from emulating Switzerland as a strategy to emulating Russia with an increasing scorched earth policy on their customers and once partners. Clock's ticking and they need to earn as much money as possible before the capital being invested in RISC-V and the associated till chain materialises as an existential threat.
Arm has shot itself in the foot and it's beginning to look like gangrene had set in.
I reckon he's betting big on graphcore in the way that only somebody with the smallest possible understanding of the dynamics of the semiconductor industry would.
If he was serious he would be bribing TSMC to set up a Fab in the UK and offering state-aid by the bucketload - just like a couple of small countries do to build broad yet world-class semiconductor ecosystems
Not sure if the BBC is being a useful idiot here, or is sacrificing it's journalistic integrity on the altar of fast news, but somebody is obviously funding dirty tricks.

This is the type of trash that is most likely to come from a large corporate sponsor paying someone to create FUD
Personally I give the journalists the benefit of the doubt and assume they are useful idiots with a web browser.
