Trump's math:
A store's 50% price reduction is 200% reduction using trump math. (100/50=2 => 200 per cent)

You're right that they sell AI chips (under a co-design partner contract), but only to the individual AI company, not to the general market. So they will suffer directly if any of their partners bow out.

Only one is a silicon company.

For those who don't get the context of the scare quotes, this ratio of us vs them was McNamara's method of trying to convince the U.S. that we were "winning".

We just had daily "body counts".

Same here, only I read it today. Goin' to bed early.

I still do double-hyphens. Can't stop myself.

The OG of stagflation.

The person/machine that generated that chart should be let go.

Boomers (of all stripes) here in the Bay Area rely on Alcatraz to get their teenage grand kids to come out and visit. My two 16-year-old grandsons from Texas loved it. But everyone who's been there realizes it should never be a prison again.

Hold both hands out, palms down. Fingers left to right are the story line of this movie in linear order. Keep thumbs together, and fold hands keeping fingers straight, thumbs to the right. Starting with a little finger on the left, that is Memento's structure. It ends in the middle.

Watched the original film footage of the Milgram experiment in college in the 60's. Should be required watching for everyone. Sobering.
