It’s crazy how predictive this 1990 B-Movie was about our graduating class: https://youtu.be/3w-ph46XYWQ

I mean, Eagles Of Death Metal are a band.

I’m definitely gonna need a translation of this into something comprehensible to those of us that only understand classical computing. I get the evolution of binary and logic gates from mechanical computing, to vacuum tubes, to semiconductors, to nanometer miniaturized transistors. I understand (but could not possibly write) how machine language has increasing layers of complexity and eventually becomes human interpretable instructions. I understand shared cache and multiple cores and how that formed a generational leap over clock speed.

I have no idea what the fuck this article is talking about. At all.

His friends are the ones telling him to say insane shit that drives the market (or specific targeted stocks like Apple) down, then they buy while it’s low. After a few days/weeks, he changes his mind/can’t enforce his nonsense and the stock goes back up, his friends sell and have nothing but profit. The majority of the shit he does is market manipulation to benefit himself and anyone riding his coattails.
