Another victim of the "Great Normalization", i.e. that entire generation of garbage tech debt generated during the 2010s that was built on NoSQL stores that never should have been, is now coming due. You could probably make an ent

Kia is getting close, but they still refuse to break the $30k barrier. The floodgates to EV adoption will open for the first manufacturer to sell 60kwH+ for a true sticker price under $25k. That's enough range with a payment right at t

This would be a perfect Starship payload. I don't buy that human beings will ever reenter earth's atmosphere in Starship and land propulsively. There is simply too much safety advantage in an aerodynamically landable aircraft or p

Sure, but that's all hypothetical. There is no law stating "higher EPS = higher share price". Stocks can (and do) still go down after a buyback. Whereas dividends are laid out exactly ahead of time and can be predicted.
