If so, it's a win in my book.

... and China has hundreds/thousands of government-sponsored hacking teams. Nah, I'm sure there's no connection there.

That could well be a chicken-and-egg problem. Are the buyers buying what's available because it's available, or are the manufacturers making it because the buyers actually asked for it? I'm not aware of any Equinox driver anywhere who ever complained about it not being tall enough (or it being short enough to make it unnecessarily difficult to run over small people) yet Chevy raised the hood anyways.

The other problem is that the auto manufacturers see a distorted picture of car buyers. New cars are too expensive for a large fraction of all drivers; many drivers won't ever buy a brand new car. New car dealers are selling to people with more money, and making decisions around what those more affluent people might want in their cars - or more so are telling such people what they should want.

Or Ford has no hired 700 senior engineers.

Well, at least there's no war in Ba-Sing-Se.

That's not enough to make you fall... you also need to wave at the audience, breaking the fourth wall.

I did use the qualifier "most". :-)

I dunno about that... for one thing, most humans don't confidently spout nonsense unless alcohol is involved.

Companies don't spin off business lines into independent subsidiaries when they foresee lots of profits in the future... this is what they do when they're trying to cut their losses.

In other words - IBM is basically cutting their losses with regards to quantum computing. They may technically keep the unit alive, but they're gonna tighten expenditures significantly.

Seems like perfect circumstances for using hallucination-prone techniques!

Do they live by the super-sea, and frolic in the autumn mist in the land of super-honalee?

Bloat in Windows is in a whole different league that Linux "bloat". If a machine was able to run Windows 10 - heck, even if it ran Windows 7 or probably even XP - it should be able to handle a user-friendly distro like Linux Mint just fine.

Man, I hope the price increase doesn't kill the product's sales momentum!

What alternative do you think these guys had? They've got bills to pay and families to feed, and all of these companies have been dumping skilled employees like crazy due to leadership's sophomoric belief that AI can do everything.
