The big question becomes, does a Steam Deck owner buy enough more to make up the subsidy or do they buy about the same as they would have without buying the Deck? For consoles there's little question because the console maker gets a cu

A lot of the competitors have had to raise prices too, Legion Go 2 is now nearly 2 grand for the Z2 Extreme version. It's hard to do a loss leader model in the PC space because they're not guaranteed money on the backend from game

It's not just the weight some outside groups have done the calculations and to dissipate the heat at the operating temperatures in the white paper without a heat pump to increase the radiator temp and thus efficiency requires a massive

I kind of get it but it's the only point when money enters the books directly from the short sale and after that they're free to do whatever they want with it.

They're not really making any money when they close out their short position. The money came when they first opened the short position and sold the shares. When they close they just lock in how much they're going to net off the po

You're missing the cost to borrow on the stock which is a daily fee to continue borrowing the stock.

They're selling a borrowed stock, so any buyer on the market when you open the short position is where the money comes from. Short sellers get the money immediately and then pay fees to the people they borrowed from until they close th

No, I can do both but absorb much better when I internal monologue it but can read much faster when I don't. Some people don't internal monologue it at all. If you're in the market for another "wait I thought everyone di

I had completely forgotten they'd already wrapped xAI around Twitter. That's getting to turducken levels of nested bad companies. There's also the Tesla (potential) self dealing where SpaceX bought a bunch of Cybertrucks and

Part of it is the index percentage is tuned to the available shares so it didn't create an apocalyptic buying pressure. Plus he only got the Nasdaq to modify their rules which also tamped down the pop. As for timing there's no uni

Part of the reason for the long window before inclusion is so that the price is reasonably stable and the market has had a chance to do it's whole price discovery dance for a little while before index funds etc are forced to buy in. Pa

Yeah that plus wrapping the xAI dogshit debt inside SpaceX is where it gets really scummy. At least the S&P500 didn't (yet) succumb and lower their requirements and that's where most of my investment money is parked.

A news org I see a valid reason for keeping two classes of stock I guess. It feels slimy elsewhere without that some editorial independence justification.

The BRK A and B are slightly different in that A is worth 1500 B but B only has 1/10000 of a vote so it IS a somewhat lopsided value vs voting share but not as bad as the 0 vote SPCX shares that just got dumped on the market.

Google is also pretty new in the terms I was talking about only slightly older than Facebook. I mean going back to the 80s/90s or earlier, pre current FAANG at least.

Are super shares like Zuckerberg's and Musk a new thing? Genuinely curious if they're a recent invention or something that's quietly happened for a while because it seems like a large inversion of the deal of going public, lo

It's not completely out of line with other RPi sources listed on the RPi Foundation's own site. It's the same price as Adafruit for example but about $50 more than Mirco Center (though that is for instore pickup only so only

I thought that might just be Amazon resellers capitalizing on marks being too lazy to go off site at first when they were $280 at Microcenter (still crazy expensive). [0] Then Adafruit had them for the same $350! [1] And it really does seem

Prices have gone a little insane in the last year though too to be fair to them.

It's not actually that many people in the grand scheme at ~1.1 million according to the CRS, but it is spread out very effectively so that massive cuts can be directly felt by any chosen House representative or senator. It's parti

I mean as a solution for high PFAS levels simply drawing blood and throwing it away would also work just fine too. Also the levels in the blood the recipient receives would be diluted by their own blood too unless they were getting a lot of

It's not good data for any particular procedure because he's doing so many at the same time so you can't really use the data to support any particular procedure in a rigorous way.

He's also one of the more bizarre publicly, with him using his son as a blood bag. Not unique but the publicity of it was a bit unusual.

That was definitely the last time the US got particularly close to a deal with North Korea that would limit it's nuclear ambitions but in a very Trump-like fashion (though to be fair this is very common) Bush came in claiming he could

Their main security comes from the viable threat of nuclear retaliation and the conventional artillery pointed at SK's capital city along with the lack of desire by SK to integrate and modernize NK in a hypothetical post war state.

That's out of date, they can nominally reach the US mainland now with nuclear payloads. Accuracy and reliability are somewhat questionable but it's a huge gamble. https://missilethreat.csis.org/missile/hwasong

There's still a large difference in the danger posed between an Iraq stationing and NK even as a generic tourist. You're much more at risk of angering the locals and becoming a political token if something should happen while you

The leadership doesn't particularly care, they get to live quite plush lives in their little hermit kingdom and only care about the general population in so far as they need to be comfortable enough they don't risk rebelling. Winn
