It may be that value prop of 1 with OLED is higher than 2.

That $300/visit doesn’t go to the dr before it passes through several layers of bureaucracy, each of which skims their fee.

Not to say that doctors aren’t well compensated. They are.

NK is a bad enough place to visit without worrying about everything. It’s the ultimate in mismanagement.

Management says it must happen, so it happens, or we tell them it’s happened. When someone gets hurt because it actually didn’t happen, there’s a cover up.

It’s not just industry. Now they’re killing the development of skills and knowledge in engineering (hardware, software) and design

USA could have spent money developing an electrified economy but the republicans are focusing on bringing back coal mining and reshoring shoe manufacturing instead.

This admin has set the USA back 100 years.

ETA - what I mean is that China is rampaging on in electrification, developing manufacturing skills, infrastructure, and design/engineering/technology around renewables and electrification. Europe is thinking about it but not going crazy to the extent China is, because legacy - China doesn’t have 100 years of cars and 150 years of trains; they’re building new. USA meanwhile is actively regressing under Republican policies.

MS pulled access to the azure environment of a (Russian owned) bank in NL and despite NL court orders asking for the data to be made accessible, it took diplomacy and a US court order to get access. This was not during trump admin.

We’ve been saying “this would never happen” and trump admin has slowly been shifting the Overton window.

Yep one of the big drivers is flexibility in capex vs opex. They’ll shape the contract whichever way you want but on prem is straight to capex. I think. I’m not an accountant.

They don’t work that effectively. To the effect they do, they make you smell like poison to mosquitoes.

DEET blocks odorant receptors at a distance and chemoreceptors on contact. Icardin blocks odorant receptors.

Community gardens and Internet cooperative are the operating phrases you’re searching for

“If it wasn’t for my medical leave, HP and Apple would be competing for the mobile market!”

It takes a lot of arrogance to be a senior executive; the way he tells the story justifies his position, that’s for sure.

During this same period, he became laser-focused on acquiring Autonomy for $10.3 billion—a software company that fit his transformation vision perfectly. Everything else, including breakthrough mobile technology, felt like a distraction from this software-focused strategy. That Autonomy acquisition later required more than an $8 billion write-down,

Apotheker wrote down 9.2 billion in 11 months and that’s just the stuff the article mentions. I can’t achieve that level of failure in a lifetime.

You missed 2. Sell (IPO)company

I’m not sure what he she actually did as far as divestiture, but evidently he wasn’t the current owner. I wonder to what degree unreasonable growth expectations flushed the company.

They’re running generators to power the data centre. Apparently they’re incredibly inefficient if they’re releasing methane

I don’t really sympathize with the government or media producers on this one, but I do see it’s a challenging problem they’ve built up in their mind. However, legalizing at-will censorship is not a great way to address this

Thanks for including the 2000 Corolla. I forget how big they’ve gotten.

Bad example on BMW; their recent design language with the beaver tooth grills is terrible

Look at the 1950 American cars. They’re wild.

One reason for the perception that cars look fancy or not is that you become accustomed to a design when you see it all the time.

Supercars are wildly impractical, and slapping that body on a Corolla chassis would make a Corolla that only seats 2 and has no space for bags, but somehow takes up a lot more space than a Corolla. Also, downforce is bad for fuel efficiency.

Your note at the bottom is interesting. The perceived luxury of a car is not related to the quality of the vehicle. As a car guy with a penchant for German cars, I do have to admit that while they’re wonderful in many ways, a beige Corolla or Civic will stand far more abuse.

I’ve never paid with a credit card to charge my car. At home, overnight, is all I’ve needed. Road trips would be different, but I didn’t buy the car for that.

Perhaps why we rub our eyes when tired? I wonder.

Also Texas

I think in Canada they’ve been trying to reach people to remind them the church doesn’t forbid vaccination, but they’re not exactly recommending it, because freedumb. And also general distrust of the government. That community doesn’t have a lot of education and they speak Plattdeutsch so it can be hard to reach them.
