Tesla is expected to sell like crazy because they are one of the only EV carmakers to not be hit full force by tariffs. However, given the public reception of Musk, the car brand may see a long term decline as fewer vehicles are purchased in the US and EU for different reasons. Chinese EVs will sink EU and APAC sales and people don’t want to give Elon any of their money if they can help it.

Tesla also doesn’t create any new vehicle models or redesign of their initial line up that was created 12 years ago. He’s coasting on the demand and has no plans for doing anything different. I would expect Tesla to hit hard times after a decade or so.

TL;DR - a small bump in sales followed by a steady fall off before Trump Part Deux is done.

We kept whipping and whipping but the work never seemed to get done. The only excuse they have is that half the team died from exhaustion or suicide, and they aren’t getting severance!

How unkind to not rewind.

These look like they are after Palworld was released. Was Nintendo just sitting on the patent since Pokeman red/blue? What an unintuitive legal system they have over in Japan.

Why are there dates in the corners?

The United States has a few chip fabs that are capable of making military grade hardware. It’s helpful that the defense industry uses chips which aren’t the most advanced possible - they want the reliability mature tech provides. Micron, Texas Instruments, ON semiconductor - there are a few domestic chip companies with stateside fabs.

Intel is also a valuable collection of patents and a huge number of companies would love to get them. Someone will want to step in before the government takes over.

A regular Johnson can get AIDS. He got cured. He’s a Magic Johnson.

Could soar? Like, it’s preventable? How? Oh, vote for Harris/Walz to not see tariffs used again.

Humans were domesticated long ago and broken up into breeds, like dogs or cats, and now that we no longer build pyramids the folks who domesticated the humans left. Now it’s just us, us, and racism.

It’s been the same “vision” since the late 90s - the CPU is the computer and everything else is peripherals.

Intel can’t afford to keep making GPUs because it doesn’t have the reliable CPU side to soak up the losses. The GPU market has established players and Intel, besides being a big name, didn’t bring much to the table to build a place for itself in the market. Outside of good Linux support (I’ve heard, but not personally used) the Intel GPUs don’t stand out for price or performance.

Intel is struggling with its very existence and doesn’t have the money or time to explore new markets when their primary product is cratering their own revenue. Intel has a very deep problem with how it is run and will most likely be unable to survive as-is for much longer.

The idea is to remove weather as a risk for farming. It’s remarkably hard making reliable predictions for yields with climate change on the horizon.

As we get older, our perception of time speeds up. An immortal would easily lose track of time after just two human lifetimes, causing an immortal to suffer from dementia-like symptoms where they expect one date but find themselves habitually late. And since time doesn’t mean the same thing as us to an immortal, they would eventually become disconnected from the world around them and be unable to reintegrate. They wouldn’t be able to maintain friendships, relationships, mortgages, payments, etc. They would be surrounded by people but forever alone.

It will end up like every other Russian knock-off: made by the Chinese when Russia eventually gives up

A techbro without money, so an obnoxious incel.

To add: “almost working” is still “not working” but with extra hope. There’s no easy solution for “almost working” because if there was, the people would have made that easy fix to get it working. No, “almost working” is code for “we fucked around with it a lot and don’t know how to get it working or how to start over.”

Good morning!

Impressive consistency!

The rich use a multiparty trick to stay rich:

1. Put their money in an offshore account that doesn’t tax them based on wealth in the country. Typically the deal is the managers get some very small amounts, single digit percentages, to charge the customer for moving money in or out of the country. Then they never touch this money again unless it is an emergency.

2. The rich then use their bank account full of money as collateral for a loan that is much smaller, like a few million borrowed with a secured loan linked to the millions/billions in the account. The banks easily accept the terms because they can’t lose - if the loan defaults the amount is pulled from the account. But the rich usually try to make their payments so that account money isn’t touched.

3. The rich spend their loaned money and make payments from the dividends, annuities, funds, and/or interest on their principal amount. This way the bank gave the person money that they can spend and it’s not income so they aren’t taxed on it, unless there is a sales tax. It’s basically free money.

As they spend this free money, the government for the country that they live in doesn’t know how much money the rich person actually has so they are unable to create an accurate amount to tax them. This is partially why folks like Bezos and Buffet pay a few hundred thousand dollars on hundreds of billions in actual wealth. Stock valuations are an entirely other beast but functions roughly the same way as having wealth to borrow money against.

The rich stays rich and get free money because the banking system was made by them and they are educated by their accountants and financial advisors on how to pay the least amount of money they can to get the most out of each cent.

Ah, so the kiwi has a bird body but still uses its dinosaur voice.
