There's nothing stopping the State of Arkansas from licensing individual programs from PBS and/or the associated production companies, either. They can pick and choose what they want, including older stuff that no longer airs.

Even HBO wants nothing to do with Big Bird anymore:

Yes, Trumpistan is subsidizing less. It may shock you to hear that, but oh well.

It just means that Paramount (and possibly Netflix) now have a solid reason to help the Republicans in 2026.

You don't seem to understand anything rogoshen said. Not one tiddly bit.

It's China, they're subsidized and they have to build something. Even if it's empty or otherwise represents overcapacity. Of course the people who built these datacentres may eventually lease the space to companies that will be forced to use domestically-produced hardware that no one wants to use (they'd rather have NV H200s or . . . whatever else). It's just how they do things, at least for now.

He ain't entirely wrong, in that environmentalist groups wouldn't dare set foot in China. They wouldn't last long over there.

Sure, want an H200?

Yes.

The Obamacare tax wasn't a tax either, until it was.

What's funny is that Chainalysis probably can't include Monero activity in their report . . .

Read the actual Chainalysis report cited in the summary. Then get back to us. Here's a hint: money laundering accounts for less than 1% of all blockchain activity.

IF this tech spreads? What makes you think it hasn't already?

ChemE and/or MSE are potential first steps into the wild world of semiconductor fabrication.

That's . . . not entirely true. AI researchers are some of the most highly-sought-after professionals on the market today. Do they have degrees in "AI"? Probably not, since these degrees are fairly novel and it remains to be seen how well universities can train to meet the needs of companies hiring for AI research today. That being said, there's the distinct possibility that "AI degrees" may be mostly fluff.
