It's not mutually exclusive. They fluff each other.

and die for Bibi

lets the other side control when to turn it off. If they flake or go rogue, you are left holding the bag.

...Like their opinion is supposed to control our democracy?

Or any city for that matter if you're in close proximity to an airport. Even the most diehard libertarians realize that government or some entity needs to own airspace or it makes doing anything with it impossible.

Apple has enough money to invest in additional production capacity. No one wants to dump billions investing in new manufacturing capacity that will take at least a year to come online and may only start producing when the market returns to normal though. Apple certainly can afford to take that risk and if the memory market continues like it is for the next few years then Apple would make an absolute killing with such a move.

Smartphones have matured enough there is very little incentive to upgrade.

64 camera lenses oughtta be enough for anyone!

No surprise here. Why is this even news? Every product that uses memory is raising their prices. This "story" is merely Apple mollifying their customers.

> And no the bubble isn't going to pop.

It's smells more bubblier over time. Sales of AI services are not self-supporting the hardware and infrastructure needed. AI usage numbers are based on the heavily discounted services supported by investors and market-share fights. These subsidies cannot last forever. Users will be more judicious with AI use when they have to pay real prices, and the market will realize it over-built.

Investors are pricing in big breakthroughs, and if these don't arrive, the existing stacks are financially hosed.

Except, of course, for the front part, which was weirdly aerodynamic

Easy to do when you have no fuel tanks.

I have no idea how you calculated mass. But about a third of the vehicle (not including the detachable part) seems to be the landing pads, which doesn't seem very optimum.

Yes, the lack of fuel tanks is a real problem. Also, how do they fly? They only have engines in back, but they skim over the surface of the moon like they are levitating. What holds them up? When they blast off to go into deep space, do they rotate 90 degrees to point the main engines downward?

The headline says "sold at a loss", but the summary doesn't:

"the profit margin for China's auto industry plunged to 4.4 percent and dropped further to a historic low of 3.2 percent in early 2026."

Profit dropping is not the same as "sold at a loss."

We lose money on every sale, but make up for it in volume.

Exactly. And even if the probability of an intersection is small... there's a lot of StarLink satellites

You can do that whenever you want. You own your own labor and you can sell it to whomever you choose. You could even find other individuals and jointly form a collective singular entity (ie, incorporate) if you don't want to go it alone. If you're successful you could even hire other employees to work for your organization assuming they could use the company and don't want to similarly go it alone. Historically speaking the upsides of doing this are astronomical, but there is the chance it might not work out and you'll lose any investments you made into the venture. Unfortunately there will always be some that want to blame all of society's problems on you for even doing this. They'll make ridiculous statements about making capital their bitch online, but they're mostly harmless until they take control, purge anyone (including their friends) they don't like, and starve themselves do death.
