Stock is easy to goose back up via QE and/or lower prime rate. Once you lock in those interest rates on debt, though, there's nothing you can do about them. You're also ignoring trade barriers that other countries have, and t

It's 1D chess, really, and it isn't really Trump who came up with the idea. We're between a rock and a hard place. If we refinanced at 4.8%, the interest payment would go to $1.2T per year. If we refinance at a lower rate, it

WAI. Trump is crashing the T-note yield to refinance $9T (which is how much US debt is going to mature in 2025) at a lower rate. That, for those of us who know arithmetic, is approximately one quarter of all US debt. It seems to be working.

So, giving even more taxpayer money to the education cartel, then. Got it. Good luck with that. Over the past several decades staffing in administrative positions has exponentially ballooned all across the education system, starting with gr

1080p is not nearly enough. You basically have to create sufficiently high resolution on a relatively small fraction of the image sensor. Even 4K is not enough for that (see e.g. Apple Vision Pro).

I do wish there was something that simply provides an AR 3D display situated in a simple "room". I should be able to connect it to a computer with a Thunderbolt cable, much like I can connect a display today. No need for "app

Fighters and AtoA are extremely expensive and difficult to manufacture in quantity. You can make drones pretty much anywhere (with a steady supply of cheap flight controllers), for next to nothing, and strap all sorts of payloads to them. I

You're assuming pursuit. For intercept you don't need a 180mph drone, you just need a somewhat predictable trajectory. You're also assuming constant motion away from shore or other ships, at top speed. Drones with speeds of u

We're seeing just how "independent" courts really are in the US at the moment. There's no reason to believe they're any more "independent" there, especially in Eastern Europe and Greece.

Are they drone evading though? Because if not, then this is a waste of time and taxpayer money. Literally any idiot can 3D print a drone capable of defeating tens of millions of dollars in military hardware from 15-20 miles away. We're

This creates a powerful incentive for the government to become a drug dealer and create more addicts to avail itself of more taxpayer money. See the homeless-industrial complex in SF, Seattle, and elsewhere. Billions disappearing into a bla

This is a real need. Nextcloud barely even works. File search craps out all the time. A simpler solution with just file preview and full text search would be awesome.

Yes, but be that as it may, at least it shows whether _any_ filtering is occurring at all. Which in the case of even a somewhat spent carbon filter is not a thing. RO does the job so well, you have to remineralize afterwards or the water do

If it's reverse osmosis based, yes. If it's some other kind of filter, likely no, and you should buy a TDS meter and use it, because in all likelihood it's not really filtering anything. I did exactly this. It turned out that

Currently Apple has 54 billion in cash and cash equivalents (down $100B since 2023 in dividends, stock buybacks, and capex). They can keep this going for a while.

I kinda wish it did actually catch on outside the Apple ecosystem. I like the language quite a bit, but since I no longer program for MacOS even peripherally, I don't get to use it. But I'm afraid it's going to need a miracle

Meh. Google can keep its censorship and algorithmic narrative steering for itself, IMO. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes, or something like that.
