Running low on spices, need to do a run to the hippy place, but they don't open Sundays... I don't drive on Saturdays.

Had to start using random crap. Added ginger to a chicken and rice dish. Heat and ginger, Amazeballs. No idea what I used it in before.

I never knew you were an Orthodox Jew. You learn something new every day.

Cool @Lamp, but I wish they'd done the version where they'd put the sound from the station in, rather than what they'd recorded.

It boggles my mind that we still need some guy sitting there pressing stop and go. Just put a fucking computer in it.

Fuck it, have both. Rather there needs to be two points of failure than just one.

Going civilised camping tomorrow, they have showers ffs. Mate is powering a TV off his EV for the football on Saturday. I look forward to texting him when I get home, asking him how long he has left to charge.

As with most things it is down to cost. From what I've read the signal was fitted only with the older AWS system and not with the newer TPWS system. The trouble with AWS is that you get warnings with both amber and red signals which the driver must acknowledge otherwise the brakes will be applied. TPWS would have stopped the train. It does surprise me that a busy railway line like that doesn't have TPWS fitted to all signals.

Please remember that this is only an interim report, we don't know all of the facts yet.

What's your issue? Not suitable for steel fire doors?

In the description it says suitable for steel doors and in the bullet points not suitable. IE Where is the quality control before publishing ?

Our corpo building lease expires in 2 years and we're being asked for what we want as part of the new office as we're probably downsizing.

No one has the balls to say "Why don't we just not and save the £5m? We can just lease a cupboard for our infrastructure somewhere in East Croydon and be done with it"

But no. How dare I even think about that.

If rather them not lease a building I've thrown up next to/binge drinked at/cried at/been an unsocial tyrant at.

To be fair that would rule out everything between West and East Croydon..

Then ask to have the new office right next to a major transportation hub! My firms new London office is right next to Victoria station, while their old ones forced you to take the central line.

Ours is currently within 2 minutes of Farringdon. Victoria would actually be easier for me personally as I'd just not get off at Three Bridges.

Micron have done a price look for 16 customers worth billions, fixing pricing for them as they've said the prices won't drop for 5 years.

They're not price fixing, but more money coercion. Samsung and SXH will follow.

Not illegal, but causing price increases when you're the manufacturer and the one who sets out timetables is scummy

E: Nothing illegal though. Just scum.

Nvidia (for example) could be sued by its shareholders for not maximising profits if they didn't do this. If it's legal and a company chooses not to profit maximize you'd better have a good reason why. This is the fucked up world of the stock market.

Succesfully?

"In 2005, Samsung and Hynix (now SK Hynix) pleaded guilty to price-fixing in the DRAM market, resulting in fines of $300 million and $185 million, respectively. Micron avoided penalties by cooperating with the investigation, while the case highlighted a pattern of anti-competitive behavior in the memory chip industry."


And now they're doing it again because of the AI gold rush, which is not only fucking PC's, it's also fucking smart phones, cars + other shit, all resulting in price hikes

Picture three bakeries that supply nearly all the bread in town. Wedding cakes suddenly sell for 10 times the price of a loaf, so all three shift their ovens to cakes.

So, it doesn't look like they're coordinating between them like last time - they're just selling wedding cakes because the AI industry wants to buy wedding cake - so they're using all their available capacity to make wedding cakes.

It's the coordination bit that would need to be proven - and it's all just enlightened self interest. They'd be mad not to sell wedding cakes - and at risk of shareholders suing them.
