The job market, inflation and tariffs

I was hoping he could, because he was pretty great at the SotU 6months earlier. Apparently, THAT was the aberration.

 

My friend that works at Broadcom said that his CEO is well-known for not giving a shit about small customers. He actually doesn't want to deal with them at all. I agree that it seems like he is overplaying their hand. Hasn't bitten him in the ass quite yet.

 

I've been using PVE to run a few virtual machines and linux containers. Paired with a NAS for storage I'm effectively self-hosting a home lab. It's been a fun hobby accomplished with spare parts and a few second hand buys and open source software and services.

Now there's a term I've not heard since Econ 101!

 

Point taken.

 

We have no experience deploying proxmox to our clients, though some have asked. As I understand it, it's feasible for smaller environments (which isn't a huge issue since a lot of them are smaller and mid-sized municipalities).
The limitations of the platform compared to a more mature solution like VMware apparently become more pronounced in much larger environments, where the need for a deep central integration is more key.
I can see it becoming big in local government as a VMware alternative. Objectively speaking, probably 90% don't need the superior features that ESXi provides.
I think the issue might be more that for on-staff end-user management, its Debian foundations might present more of a threshold for those without deeper knowledge of the platform in-house.
You could literally teach a total layman how to deploy say an LAMP stack on an ESXi host in like ten minutes (I'm not saying they will understand everything they are doing but you could write a simple guide that almost everyone could follow). Not sure if the same would be true for proxmox.

 

Oh boy. Louisiana is number one (and not just for syphilis now)!

 

But is the credit card debt bad/worse than usual? The map just shows relative ranking. Granted, still interesting. Shows the impact that gambling has. So, logically its gradually becoming fully legal across all states.

I never really understood credit card debt. Someone offers people a loan at 20-30 per cent interest and they jump all over it? People are quite strange...

Debt is super high but defaults are not…….. yet…….

 

We use ChatGPT instead and it lies more than Trump.

 

Big day for Nvdia. Stock didn't even take a break at $200, just powered on up. Company approaching $5 trillion valuation now.

 

Mississippi is letting you guys down on this one.

 

A hint of how much our economy is AI right now - the $SPX S&P 500 Index which is heavily weighted towards the big tech firms hit an all time high yesterday, the same day that 80% of the S&P 500 stocks went down, which is the widest breadth of stocks to go down in a day.

 

...that looks more like a cell phone case she's holding, than an actual cell phone. If true that introduces a signifier/signified dynamic that just elevates and titillates the whole ball of wax.
