You say that as if it’s a bad thing.

Not all writing needs to be as dry as a technical bulletin.

That’s how you do a proper propaganda piece, you write an emotional article that is mostly correct and insert subtle nudges to your actual topic :)

… lesswrong apocalypse cult?

Like the guy who wrote that insufferable Harry Potter fanfiction?

The strategy is Broadcom doesn’t give a flying F about any customer smaller than Fortune 50. They really don’t. Hock has said as much.

Oh please. Take a look at the pictures of “redevelopment” back then and tell me it mirrors modern practices. We’re talking wholesale bulldozing of entire neighborhoods. Not a block or two, the entire damned thing.

Where we’re going we don’t need no stinking drip tray!

Believe me. You need a drip tray.

Best of luck. Hope it turns out better than ZPM.

This is a pot, kettle, black situation.

Did… you really just use the term Chinamen in 2024?

Yeah it's really not the preferred nomenclature.

Would chinaperson be better?

Pivotal Labs was acquired by EMC back in the day. They bundled it with some cloud foundry work and created Pivotal. When Dell acquired EMC they also acquired a big share of Pivotal. Dell then decided to squeeze more blood from the VMWare stone and forced them to acquire Pivotal before selling the whole thing off to Broadcom.

Nails are reversible in under an hour. Foot binding causes crippling disfigurement.

They aren’t remotely comparable.

That’s a blatant misunderstanding of how voice acting works. A good voice actor is a vocal chameleon, and can really change their voice for each role.

This is simply not true. A voice actor doesn’t have to be skilled at changing their voice, especially in this context. Many are hired for their natural voice, like narration. When most film actors do voice acting, they’re just using their voice. They’re not hired for being chameleons.

That’s because film actors are hired to voice act for their fame, not for their skills as voice actors.

Yes, and another example is that sometimes the “skill” of a voice actor is having pleasing vocal cords. Again, this is why most narrators are hired: they sound good. Not all voice actors are chameleons. It is not a requirement for all voice acting jobs. If you listen to many audio books, you’ll see the voice actors usually have very very poor ability to modulate their voice. Laughably so.
