Comment Here's how stupid this all is (Score 1) 19

Dell's stock rockets 32% because they're selling more AI-related servers than ever before. However, the only reason they are selling more AI-related servers than ever before is because of Nvidia, yet Nvidia's stock has barely inched upward in months. These two situations cannot both be correct

If Dell is selling servers out the wazoo because of Nvidia and its stock soars, then Nvidia must also be sellling GPUs out the wazoo and its stock shoulld likewise soar. Saying we're at peak AI which is why Nvidia can't go higher makes no sense. It has consistently blown past every financial analysts expectations for the past two or three years. Dell's recent server spike is proof of this. If you think we're at peak AI then Dell shouldn't be anywhere near the price it's at now.

how fast does a fire have to be to become an explosion?

When the coroner can't tell the difference, your question is only one lawyers care about.

(Ironically enough, if it's proven the victims burned slower instead of exploding faster, then the pain and suffering costs skyrocket higher than the rocket ever did.)

I'm not an expert on rebuilding massively exploded launch infrastructure; but I have a suspicion that a 2026-2029 plan is now going to involve less Blue Origin than previously believed.

I think the Mars thing has always been Musk's social hack to both force humans to expand beyond Earth and make him a lot of money. Step 1: build the only private rocket company that can send humans to Mars; step 2: strand a bunch of people there; step 3: effectively forcing the government to pay you gobs of money to save them..

Hell of an assumption considering which company volunteered to retrieve astronauts from the ISS after "only" another rocket company failed to do so.

Slashdot now the home of Luddites? "Why do we need a SPACE BASE?" A lot of people write off space 'competition' as just militaristic dick-flexing. You do understand where ICBMs came from?

Yeah. They came from human engineers. Back on Earth. Who "justified" wasting trillions building thousands of them, and not one of them has ever actually been used in warfare after 80 fucking years.

If the goal is to piss away trillions fueled by bullshit and FUD, then expect to be building two of them at thrice the price.
