Comment on: Nvidia & AMD’s Answer to Cryptocurrency Miners
Thing is, they can play both sides here. Sell "mine-locked" cards to gamers for a decent price, and sell high-price graphics cards to miners for whatever they want.
Or hell, make cards SPECIFICALLY for mining so gamers can use the graphics cards for their intended purpose.
Gotta say, trying to build my own PC during this mess is the most frustrating thing ever, and shortages are not good for business regardless.

At risk of sounding like a Boomer: STFU and get a job you fucking nerds. The only way to get rich quick is hard work or long term investment.

Comment on: Uber Will 'Shut Down' in California If It Must Classify Drivers as Employees
I would argue that those cabs didn't need to be so strictly regulated either.
Strict regulations kill business and disincentivize innovation.

Then those who choose to drive for Uber should find another means of work or renegotiate their contract.
The government does not need to be involved. Let a shitty business fail on its own. If you try to put strict controls over business like this, then you may hurt countless others who AREN'T shitty.
