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.

The surprising part is that any of the engineers went back after the company had treated them like that. I guess they'll just be saving money until they get sacked again.

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.

You really, really don't want an EV unless you're able to do the bulk of your charging while plugged in at home.

You - and many others - phrase that particular argument as if home charging is a "least bad" option. But it seems to me the ability to "refuel" at home is a major POSITIVE selling point for EVs! You almost never have to make a special trip just to fuel your car again!

At least once a week I'm making a late-night trip to the gas station for either my car or my wife's car. If I don't want to do that, then I end up having to cool my heels waiting in line for the gas pump in the morning.

The possibility of home charging is one of the major reasons I want to get an EV!
