Google is leaving its godawful offices in San Francisco.
sfchronicle.com/realestate/article/google-exits-sf-office-tower-19445098.php
Continuing the hollowing out of what I'm told used to be a nice town.
This is a black eye for Blackstone which co-owns the complex and has a $975M loan against it.
Google is not yet leaving the city entirely, much less the state. But maybe.

A scroll detailing the final hours of Plato, found in a cache in a villa belonging to Julius Caesar's father-in-law in Herculaneum (near Pompeii), has now been deciphered.
theguardian.com/books/2024/apr/29/herculaneum-scroll-plato-final-hours-burial-site
He was not overly fond of the entertainment that evening, but I would also like to spend my final hours entertained by the flute playing of a Thracian slave girl.
The scrolls - hundreds of them - are, as you might expect given what happened to Herculaneum, mere lumps of charcoal, and it is only with modern CT scanning techniques and computer-aided reconstruction that we are able to read them. In fact, it's only last year that the first words were read this way.

With its player community up in arms and its reputation on fire - with 200,000 negative reviews landing in just three days - Sony has decided maybe Helldivers players on Windows don't need a PlayStation Network account after all.
msn.com/en-us/entertainment/gaming/helldivers-2-is-copping-backlash-after-forcing-psn-logins-and-being-pulled-from-over-150-countries/ar-BB1lS4PY
This comes a day after the game was removed from sale on Steam in 177 countries and dependencies because the PlayStation Network was not available there.
Which also goes to show how widely available Steam is. They don't care if you live in the Aland Islands or Andorra or Antarctica, if your credit card works you're in.

Republicans have pounced on tech executives' internal conversations.
theverge.com/24146357/republicans-internal-emails-texts-tech-executives-meta-facebook-white-house
The fact that the conversations with federal government officials involve jews trying to coerce them into censoring protected speech is let unsaid.

Motherboard makers apparently to blame for high-end Intel Core i9 CPU failures, says Intel.
arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/04/intel-reportedly-blames-motherboard-makers-for-core-i9-cpu-crashes/
Another garbage article from the Ars Technocrats, and they are getting roasted in the comments.
TL;DR version: It turns out that running desktop CPUs at 500W is bad. Who knew? Intel knew. And they are trying to shift the blame to their motherboard partners for helping Intel fake benchmark results.
Lower-end Intel CPUs (the non-K parts) are mostly fine.

Co-working space company WeWork - once valued at $6 trillion or some other equally ridiculous jew number - is planning to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy after raising fresh capital and creating a plan to pay off some part of its $4 billion in debt.
businessinsider.com/wework-rejects-adam-neumanns-acquisition-bid-unveils-restructuring-2024-4
Though certainly not all of it.
Adam Neumann-Fried, former WeWork CEO and the guy who landed it in bankruptcy with $4 billion in debt in the first place, offered to buy its remains for $650 million.
The remains declined to be bought.

The US Supreme Court Rules 9-0 that discrimination against white people is a good cause for lawsuit and against the civil rights act; Jews fret that this ruling will "Complicate" their desire to discriminate against straight White men

Oh no! We can't complicate the Jews mission to turn America into Rhodesia!

The purpose of a system is what it does.
In this case Maria Cantwell ran for the Senate promising privacy legislation. She has spent the 24 years since then blocking all efforts towards it.

San Francisco is upgrading its light rail system.
From floppy disks.

Which aren't made anymore.
So probably a good idea.

The global economy depends on a single road in Spruce Pine, North Carolina.
tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/the-worlds-semiconductor-industry-hinges-on-a-quartz-factory-in-north-carolina
That road leads to a mine producing the purest quartz in the world, and the factory that processes it. There is no naturally occurring alternative source.
The quartz is used to create crucibles which are used to produced silicon wafers, which are in turn sliced and cooked and dice to produce computer chips.
It is possible to make the quartz synthetically; we just don't right now because its very costly and there's an enormous pile of it sitting underground in this one spot that can mined cheaply. But it would be a few difficult years if anything happened there.

If I'm presented with two resumes for a new hire, one a recent Harvard graduate with a PhD in precisely the Chemistry field I am hiring for, and the other a community college dropout whose only Chemical Engineering experience is putting together a particular Minecraft crafting item, I'm hiring the Minecraft kid.
Just saying.
