Comment This is why books are better (Score 3, Insightful) 40

You never have to worry about someone turning off access to a book you purchased thirty years ago.

You don't have to find workarounds to get a book. They're available practically everywhere.

Text within a book will never change. Once you have the book, it remains the same forever.

No one can remotely remove access to your books.

The only real benefit to Kindles and the like is you can have multiple books on you at the same time even though you can only read one at a time. Until your power runs out. Which doesn't happen when you have a book.

Here's the thing, if Nvidia was any other company you wouldn't be able to buy the stock for any price. Their numbers keep blowing past even optimistic estimates, their growth keeps climbing, and they can't make their products fast enough. All of this as the (current) industry behemoth in GPUs They even recently announced getting into the quantum side of things.

Will this last forever? No, of course not. No one can. But at the moment there doesn't appear to be a ceiling for them. And yet, every time they release earnings their stock gets dumped becasue people believe this is the time they've hit their peak. When the companies making the chips say they have orders filled through 2027, what would make people think Nvidia has hit is peak?

Nvidia should be at or near $300/share at this point. It's only because of whiny "investors" it's not. When they report on the 20th they will again blow past everything and once again we'll watch them get penalized for doing so.

So they pump water out of the water table below the city, and it flows thru pipes under the city, which are broken, so the water returns to (ultimately) the water table...right?

Eventually. How long is the question. It could take a few years to hundred of years to reach the water table depending on the soil conditions.

According to the administration (in the article):

“The companies that bid for these offshore wind leases were basically sold a product in 2022 that was only viable when propped up by massive taxpayer subsidies,” [Interior Secretary] Mr. Burgum said in a statement.

I have not looked at the numbers to see if that's a true pretext, but anyway that is their pretext.

If that's the case, then why are oil and gas companies being propped up with massive taxpayer subsidies? Such as the current issue where taxpayer money is being used to cancel a project then being used to subsidize the new projects.

This doesn't even take into consideration all the massive subsidies handed out over the last 100 years to oil and gas companies. Burgum is just lying his ass off, just like the rest of the regime.
