Money.

Now that USB-C is the required cable, people can go out and buy any cheap cable they want. The law turned a proprietary cash cow into a low return commodity item.

Don’t need to, just down-blend from the available fuel used from weapons put out of commission as a result of disarmament treaties.

Now, about those materials used to construct solar panels…

This is false. Nuclear has a very competitive levelized cost of energy (LCOE). Nuclear has high upfront costs but fuel is cheap and the reactor can last much longer than solar panels. The big picture matters not just upfront costs.

Introducing the new Aston Martin Team Principal!

Stroll’s gap to his teammate is as large as most of the rookies on the grid to their respective teammates. But yea, his dad owns the team…what can be done. Money is privilege.

When we couldn’t share a family password anymore we just didn’t sign up for our own account. Easy as that. Been watching a ton more Hulu as a result. Netflix isn’t worth more than a one-month sub/year.

As more people join one will get selected. There was r/cars and r/autos for a long time. R/cars won out in the end.

So all the OEMs in China signed a pledge to maintain ‘normal’ pricing. They’re openly colluding to fix car prices when they were dropping quickly as a result of supply and demand renormalizing.

3M announced they were exiting this space, rightfully so and probably a decade late. But I’ve heard rumblings in the industry that the US Govt might require them to continue to produce these awful materials as they are used in defense-related applications. Hope that’s not the case and we can shutdown all other producers (Chemours/DuPont etc) as well.

The only thing I’m critical of here is how does this pull back in VC funding/company valuations compare to other industries? VCs have pulled back in general as money is now very expensive as a result of high interest rates.

Completely agree but not sure being in a union would stop these layoffs. Tech companies massively overhired during COVID, and many really dropped their standards. So now their revenue is dropping due to consumer demand falling AND they’re stuck with too many employees.

It doesn’t look great obviously but these tech companies expanded way too fast and are paying the price now. Unfortunately so are innocent workers.

Lol, hell no. Especially when the movie will be streaming in 3 months time. Haven’t been to a theater since Endgame.
