The permanent damage has been done and this weak decision upholds the fact no nation can trust the USA again.

To have any hope of undoing the harm they needed to "reach" out and simply repeat the constitution then slap down every tariff as completely out of bounds. Saying congress can't delegate it's own core power away in any of those laws... even then leaders of the world can see the slow collapse going on. To allow congress to remove itself is actually violation of the supremacy clause of the constitution; not that it matters, the court has been selectively ignoring the constitution for years.

Most people do not mean forever. In the tech world, forever is a decade.

They will make more RAM due to demand and competition... but it takes a long time to ramp up and it is expensive. This will feel like forever.

Furthermore, AI wants the best RAM and not everybody is making the best RAM. So, when DDR6 happens, it'll be possibly out of consumer hardware for a longer delay and priced higher for longer obviously. The bubble will burst but it doesn't have to be like other bubbles. Many view this as existential not just 1st to market; not everybody is betting the house on short term breakthroughs and they won't fold when others' pyramid schemes fail... again, some are racing to own the Terminator 1st; as long as they don't outpace their ability they will keep going.

RAM prices getting cheap after a market correction, will be a short blip. It'll go back up. Eventually, we'll level off but likely to a more rigged market of price fixing than we already had. Corruption has been on the rise if you've not been paying attention.

THANK YOU!
This is the kind of BS that should be illegal and it can ruin people's lives when they gut the company just to steal value.

I think the real plan for both buyouts is to extract some value (Netflix more so,) but mostly it is so remove another player in the marketplace competing for people's TIME. There is not enough time in the day for a retired person to consume all the stuff being produced let alone the old content!

Simpler is that you are a simpleton and couldn't recognize a fascist unless they were impersonating Hitler; while the OG fascist you'd probably not recognize. Musk's salute is too Italian so he can't be pro-fascist...

Quality "content" was still produced in modern times without much in the way of alternatives funding such creation. It's insulting to just call it "content" because youtube is loaded with shit content.

The little TV I do watch is PBS; or crap infomercials or the crap local news which only makes PBS look even better.

That's not Democrats! PEOPLE they represent vote them in and for the most part they still believe in democracy, unlike the Republicans.

If you get outside can talk to real people, you'll find out that most Americans are selfish assholes with some knowing what they are expected to say but quietly act like assholes. Possibly no worse than humanity when given too much success (in the past.)

Authoritariansim has been rising since the 70s as studies show. Even Gen Z is more comfortable with it; and their value of democracy has been waning as well. Trump really is actually a symptom of a disease.

Sorry if reality hurts.

For most people, it's another NIMBY issue and they don't want to be forced to pay a penny or be inconvenienced at all. They feel good at sometimes giving their change to the poor; when they feel like it, not when it is needed and it's just for their own gratification (or a moment of guilt when a store asks for $1 at checkout... which goes to the store's tax benefit as well as marketing at how they give back, when it's suckers contributing to that.)

Futuristic talk is an argument? There is a huge supply chain involved in a car and outside vendors and they are not all under 1 roof and deploying 100% automation; they are just beginning automation.

We still employ and employed many humans to make cars. It's still a huge expense. We don't innovate. They do. China is leading research in many areas today and headed to invert with the USA; the destruction of our university system is proving to go slowly... but it is on going.

How does one go about being FAIR in leveling pricing? Even in an honest approach it's an incredibly difficult task! We are so corrupt now we make China look honest. doomed task.

Is it fair to allow infrastructure to lower manufacturing costs? So we have to tariff the Chinese free healthcare as unfair? It's a massive added cost to US manufacturing. Is it fair to allow no pollution controls in manufacturing ? no. but how do you compute the costs of pollution controls? ask industry? theirs and ours will lie about that as much as they can; neither cares about human health.
What about industrial infrastructure? we can barely pass ONE infrastructure bill every generation and even then it's mostly catch up repair from neglect. They treat utilities as infrastructure which should be shared responsibility (more government, non profit) while a treat utilities as business enterprises of competition even when it's a monopoly like electricity. We only have public socialized police, fire, roads because those were grandfathered in and are slowly in the process of privatization; probably last to go, but postal service, weather service are happening now. Social Security and Medicare have begun already to privatize... with no benefits and there won't be any except for the rent seekers taking it over.

Robots are not better drivers. period. Eventually; soon, they will be for MOST situations. The last 10% might take decades...

Something to think about is infrastructure and the environment. It's all made to help stupid humans driver better. We are trying to have the robots adapt to a human designed environment. If we spent a fraction of that money and effort making things easier for the robots we'd already likely have the robots winning nearly the whole thing. Such as having the cars talk with each other; we don't need street lights; the cars can negotiate directly. Road markers such as painted lines are for human vision. a robot can do better with something else. Precise GPS like beacons - sure, somebody could mess with that... but then somebody could paint the lines on the road or change signs to confuse many humans. Major routes can be upgraded - special roads exclusively for robots...which would be much faster in speed as well. plus you have the massive waste of owning a car which could be driving around for others the 90% of the time it's parked with just 1 owner...

A great many idiot humans are driving; if we could stop them from driving that would greatly improve everything!

If we required humanoid robots for everything we'd have nothing today; but we have space probes etc. for generations because the situations didn't require a humanoid to complete the task... in fact, the custom built to task bots were better than humans already.
