The Apple forums were really useful once, too. I haven't looked at them in 20 years tho.

Good analysis.

Also, Viva La Dirt League made a few funny skit videos on GTA (check out their other ones too): https://www.youtube.com/@VivaL...

But they have put up another term and condition to protect themselves from errant customers. If the AI makes a mistake but the customer is adamant that they're in the right, the airline now has a specific clause to refuse them.

For me, I felt like old Ob-Wan: https://www.youtube.com/shorts...

What has any of your tiresome arguing with me got to do with the point I was making about the purpose of China's fleet of new coal plants? All you've done so far is get fixated on the fact that I said "peakers" instead of the more precise "load following and also some peakers".

Grids that are modern compared to the world average and use a lot of coal include China, the US, India, Germany, Japan and South Korea. All of them still predominantly use their coal for baseload, although all of them are transitioning to using it for flexibility as well. China and the US are the only ones to use some coal for true peaking, ie shutting off for several hours and then re-starting within 24 hours. Some of the US fleet has a capacity factor under 20% because it's being used in this way. Obviously this is not a role well-suited to coal. But it's still being done.

I have no idea why you fixated the way you did. Especially when your subsequent blanket statements were at least as inaccurate as my opening one.

Good for you, now let's re-check your federal funding and access to the White House Press Pool ... /s

So, if I understand correctly, she exploited the relationship to help import restricted NVidia tech to China by the billions.

Why are the investors complaining?

Inhabit and thrive for approximately 50 years until the insulation sealed within the walls become exposed and poison the water in the area.

You know artificial reefs are supposed to be places where ocean wildlife are supposed inhabit and thrive, right? To prepare a ship for this is a ton of work because they have to clean the ship of all the stuff that would poison wildlife.

And explosives leave lots of residual chemicals that impact wildlife.

Anyhow, there's nothing wrong with settling on the side. Maybe if you're diving to see it's not pleasant, but I'm sure the fish and such don't really care.

Nobody held accountable is par for the course in this U.S. Administration. Hopefully both of those will change in about 2 years.

This one makes me want to make some popcorn and enjoy watching. Huang intervened in various ways to stop US investigations into massive smuggling of top nvidia gpus into China, at the same time that Trump was buying nvidia stock.

The executive branch will try pretty hard to bury this. They’ll probably succeed through distraction, same as always. Huang’s goose might be cooked, but he also might know enough about Trump’s under-the-table dealings that the admin might protect him. I dunno.

I'm thinking the chinese spy thing might also do so - that's a massive legal risk due to violation of export controls. Nvidia is on the hook for third party exports or "reexports", same as any other business who ships things that fall under export controls.

They got paid, and they were paid to not look too carefully. And the US Government takes a dim look on that and doesn't brook any bullshit excuses. Or, at least, they used to less than a year ago - Applied Materials got rung up for about a quarter billion in civil fines for reexport of semiconductor equipment in February. Corporate officers who are found to willingly violate can get up to 20 years in prison. The laws state that it can be fines of over $300k *per violation* and apparently Megaspeed was buying and reexporting billions worth of Nvidia products, but that doesn't go as far as it used to I guess (har har).

I suspect, that in most of those cases, the boards had already decided that their CEOs needed to go, for one reason or another. The boards we simply waiting for a "gotcha" moment. And, since the entire CEO population is obsessively exchanging bodily fluids on a regular basis, it doesn't take very long to find an affair to use as grounds for termination.

If the board is happy with the CEO, they'll conveniently not-look-too-hard, or settle privately with any spurned lovers.
