By protecting the lagging US companies, the government is doing them a disservice. If the big 3 want to be competitive with Chinese cars, you know, they cou ld always try INNOVATING. the hand of the market and all that crap.

Trump is in the pocket of Coal, Natural Gas, and Gasoline, so he's banning the tools we need to cut ourselves off the grid.
Fuck that guy. Boomers would rather us die in a global heatwave than cool our homes with solar, wind, wave, geothermal, nuclear.

climate change may not be happening fast enough

$900 transparent XBox, sells out immediately, zero improvements over existing opaque black plastic xbox.
INSANITY

not helpful for me until I can upload my collection of comics and D&D PDF files to access from my ipad.

First President to completely send the US economy into freefall TWICE. We should make him drink from the firehose.

It's not really a marketplace. In the future, we will own NOTHING. That's what the corporations want: for us to rent our entire lives from them.

that's why the cops break the law every goddamned day

AI CEOs have a history of being egocentric, lying assholes, but also we don't trust them to allow us to have clean air to breath, clean water to drink, and electricity to run our heat and A/C in the winter. They've prioritized their potential for earning wealth at the expense of every other point of contact. He's lucky we don't start burning down data centers. All these lies about the jobs they'll create and the wondrous things they'll do are a mirage. Having worked in data centers for 20+ years it's just equipment and the sales guy and the security guy and the occasional cleaning staff.

At what point will will call this out for what it is: massive stock market manipulation by promising to sell and buy in the future with money Open AI does not have today? NVidia is playing a dangerous game here, one which threatens the US power grid and our drinking water, and our lives, by simple ugly greed.

well, actually...

Absolutely stupid policy. My former employer bought Fanuc robots from Japan and they were the best-of-breed. If you want to support small American businesses, give them access to the best-of-breed technology. If Chinese produces more advanced robots, then American businesses should be allowed to implement them. If American robotics companies are to succeed, they'll need to be more innovative.

Just like vulture capitalists: buy a company, extrude the value, sell it for parts.

these mergers should not happen at any time.

It's not 1999 and no normal computers ship with integrated CD-ROM drives anymore. So why is it a big deal for the Playstation user base? Most games require gigabytes of DLC anyways. And having a CD doesn't mean that they won't simply shut down the server that's hosting your game.
