Wonder if they have betting odds on another March outbreak and lockdown.

AI. Consumers get the leftovers that can't be binned high enough to be H100s that they can sell for 30k a piece to companies doing AI work. The 50 series uses the same node as the 40 series, so they stopped production on the 40s to allocate time to the new chips. Of course this has the nice effect of stopping cannibalization of sales when it turns out the 5080 is basically a 4080 super and would be binned as a x070 or x060 Ti part in prior gens.

Either way it looks like they only started working on them early January based on some investigation so far (https://youtu.be/wMd2WHKnceI) so there's likely only a couple thousand 5090s even in existence.

Out here fighting for eggs like scalpers fighting for RTX 5090s.

My area was forced to do well by our governor, which naturally meant they wanted to thank her by plotting to kidnap and murder her.

Allowing? A majority of voters want this, or at least don't care. Apparently findom is a more common kink than we knew.

Might actually see some gun legislation if this takes off. After all, some of the first restrictions were to counter the "threat" of groups like the black panthers.

Well, yeah. If you drain all the clean water out of the swamp you're just left with the decaying muck of a dying ecosystem. Almost like that metaphor never actually made sense.

What does Google know that we don't? Actually no, that list is probably far longer and scarier than it should be.

You'd think if Jones pulled together 3.5 million to bid indirectly through a shell company for his own bankruptcy they'd just you know... take that money and give it to his creditors then continue with the sale since it's still not enough...

Based on Ajit Pai last time, there will be a significant rollback on consumer rights and protections. You can bet Starlink will get greenlit for anything they want though.

Studies generally show the economy does better under Democrats than Republicans, in measurements of CPI, GDP, job growth, and unemployment. Republicans however have a massive propaganda machine that has gaslit the country in believing the opposite. Frequently this is backed by short term plays that make things "feel" better but cause significant long term problems. Like a CEO firing the QA team, line goes up this quarter and by the time the consequences arrive they're gone and blame the next guy.

 

The Supreme Court on Friday overturned a landmark 40-year-old decision that gave federal agencies broad regulatory power, upending their authority to issue regulations unless Congress has spoken clearly.
