Yes, that is how manufacturing works in a nutshell. It's not for the meek.

... and I just figured out why Elon Musk bought Twitter.

They finally figured an end around SpaceX for LockMart and Boeing. Big budget for fast trips with nuclear power rather than cheap slow trips. DARPA as accelerant.

That means all SpaceX regulatory approvals will slow to a crawl. Completely coincidentally.

I am reminded of that era in the late 1980's when Microsoft, beset by lobbying efforts to regulate their business and even split it, pivoted from their apolitical stance and decided that if money politics was a weapon to be used against them that was a war they intended to win. They went all in on fundraising, bought us the first Bush, and all their antitrust problems miraculously vanished overnight. The unintended consequences were unfortunate but they got what they needed.

Frankly chips just aren't worth as much when competition enters the market. Monopoly lifts prices. That's why companies do it.

Monopolist prices are also what opens the opportunity to upstarts. They get a leg up that they only have to be competitive to monopoly prices, not free market prices. That's the money they use to reach parity. Once parity is achieved all the industry players struggle to profit as margins plunge. And that's good for the consumer.

AMD is killing it in server.

Tesla will be an energy company that makes cars as a hobby.

It has been exciting and frustrating watching this develop. They flew a very rough prototype of the upper stage to 150 meters and landed it back in 2019. On 5 May 2021 they flew a prototype of the upper stage that looked very similar to the latest model to 10km and landed it. But no flights since.

The lower stage is an absolute beast of a rocket in every way. 33 engines totalling 17,000,000 lbf of thrust. As wide as a school bus is long. As tall as a 20 story building by itself, and the second stage sits on top of that.

Can't wait to see it fly. Wish I could be there to feel the Earth tremble. Maybe some day.

We know this one. Frequent young blood transfusions. Unethical, but not this costly.

Everyone already has all your email addresses. You can download them on the 7 seas by the gigabyte. Which is a lot since a gigabyte is 1073741824 bytes and compressed the average email address is about 8 bytes.

They have been improving the visuals the whole time.

Do they charge for this service?

Handing out? They still charge for product. And a premium for the cookie logo too.

Also, watts matter.

You used to be able to work out whether a product was OK from the reviews, if you scanned through a lot of them. Not any more.

Didn't they used to cull the bottom 10 percent every year under the stack rank system?

Ah. Rambus RDRAM. Those were the days. Not.

At 350 watts for just the two cores. It's a toaster. I mean, bragging rights. Fine. Kill the planet.

The aliens stole Pluto?

Be the change.

It's pretty clear from the paper that the monkeys felt cold. Doesn't sound like a fun trip.

They split to the winds. But yes, most of the individuals still practice their specialty. In some cases that's notorious, in others not so much. Retraining is hard.

Facebook needs to be punished for their role. CA was dissolved already, but it was created to do this one job and then fold anyway.

You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Nefarious actors built deep psychological profiles on everyone. They mapped it to social links, records public private and hacked including credit reports, jobs, voting. They got your buttons.

The only way to escape manipulation is to turn it all off.

I think I see your objection. It's the grammar time machine.

>With inflation approaching 10% and looking to get sticky the potential for a hard crash was there.

The placement of that "was" makes it difficult to tell that the former tense applies to the clause before it. English is tricky that way. Let's break down the sentence another way for you, and add in the supplemental information from the context since.

In June of this year annual inflation reached 9.06% over the year before, and the month to month increase suggested an annualized rate of inflation of 10%. Having accelerated at an increasing rate for the 26 months prior, from an annual rate below 0.2% to over 9%, it would have been reasonable at that time to expect this trend to continue without an upper bound until some change was undertaken, making a hard crash conclusion increasingly likely at that time. Fortunately, belatedly, the Federal Reserve Board had begun hiking interest rates and announcing an end to unlimited mortgage buying a couple of months earlier and so the inflation began to ease. Now with the pressure of inflation easing, the trend reversed and only limited impacts to the jobs economy a hard crash looks unlikely at this time and trending less likely as time goes on.

Is that better?

Amazon comes to my house more often than I do. Several times more.
