Ohh it’s not an acquisition, it’s right to buy later for $60B or we a work together for $10B. Huh?

60 Billion for an IDE?

I guess back to Jetbrains it is.

That is insane, Block seems to be very poorly run. The headcount still seems bloated, they'll blame AI and layoff more people for their own incompetence.

Prediction market creators making the case that their existing is some sort of a market efficiency play is the most laughable thing I have ever heard.

SC made a mistake in the Draft King/Fan duel saga and has unleashed the worst kind of market, takes up may too much money and time especially from young people.

That has to be the lamest use of “AI” to justify price increases.

I got the Kinesis Gaming split 5 years ago and honestly it has been a game changer. My wrist pain went away, takes about a week to get used to it but it has been a welcome change. I also feel like I can type faster on it.

xAI to cover X investors, SpaceX to cover xAI, us American public investors to cover SpaceX since it cannot go under for strategic reasons. Ultimate grift.

Google kills Gemini is just hilarious.

Must we do this dance every week now? Every other week some country in the world is trying to erode privacy.

This will also not pass and will be withdrawn quietly like that last one they tried.

The gov will block this for the wrong reasons(they want Ellison to win this) but here’s hoping this and Paramount both get blocked, this level of concentration is not good.

Semi analysis is great, they typically do semiconductors but reporting is top notch.

Such a stupid move, I’d bet that it’ll be withdrawn quietly.

New comment by seatac76 in "Should we drain the Everglades?"

seatac76 — Wed, 17 Sep 2025 16:51:57 +0000

Everglades as a biological system is perhaps one of the most unique things in the world.

I don’t think there is one like this.

It was eye opening to visit, have never been this close to Aligators.

It should be preserved in totality, for as long as we can, it is an American treasure. Unsustainable building in Florida is not a good enough reason to drain the Everglades.

So about 5 years behind the cutting edge, SMIC showed their advanced lithography tools today(still no ASML) but come 2030 at this rate? Hard to say they won’t catch up.
