Nvidia is therefore a bubble. This article is complaining that Europe is an obstacle to further bubble inflation.
No amount of Nvidia etching IP onto wafers is worthy of a 4.6 TRILLION market cap - bigger than the 4.2 Trillion market cap of the ENTIRE name-brand pharmaceutical industry.

They've been pushing this narrative that media can't be trusted. This then allows them to shape stories to fit their own right-wing agenda. Witness for the past 5 years all the whining about a "stolen" election. Almost every day for Biden's term that fake story was pushed out, mainly by their stooge Trump, but definitely put out there on other sites and roundly repeated by the dullard MAGA crowd.

Never mind that the Fox tabloid jumped wholeheartedly on this bandwagon and got bitchslapped for almost $800 million for pusing the lie, or that several attorneys were either suspended from pracitce, criminally charged, or disbarred for repeating the lie in court. Nope, the election was stolen and the media is lying because . . . reasons.

Then of course there are the calls of "FAKE!" every time the truth is put out. Such as when repeating the decaying coleslaw words of dear leader Trump. Repeat his own words and you're called out for being "fake news".

What makes this story so hilarious is that the same people who claim to have low to no trust in media are the first ones to go rushing to the same media to see who the new white guy is shotting up a church or school. They want to see if their biased perceptions are true and when the story doesn't match what they think, they claim the story is false because . . . reasons.

Even more hilarious is when people claim they no longer listen to the media but instead get their news from various social media sites. Where do they think the people posting screenshots are getting their information from?

Turmp is right. Smart people don't like him because he caters to the poorly educated (a group he says he loves) who will lap up any bs he or Project 2025 or the late Charlie Kirk spit out. Because instead of looking at reality, they want to believe there is some vast conspiracy by news media to lie to them, to withhold the truth. Except, when the truth is out there, these same people claim it's all lies. They can't have it both ways (they can, but it shows their stupidity). Either you have to accept these people are doing their jobs reporting on corruption, reporting on who's doing what underhanded thing, who's committing genocide, or you don't. You don't get to pick and choose like all the Senators and Representatives who claim the election was stolen, except for their election.

The FCC said it would consider public comments before deciding whether to reverse the rule

The decision has already been made. They'll probably use fake comments like they did in his first term. Went looking for the quote, but a guy wondered how his dead mother was able to submit a public comment.

This will be no different than RFK, Jr saying in April he'll find a cause for autism by September. And look what happened.

Putting one in New York never really made sense to me, because the state of New York had aproximately nothing to do with the shuttle program other than providing a museum at the end and probably contributing some astronauts to the program.

Eyeballs. Compare the number of people who visit New York City to Houston. New York City attracts 60 - 68 million visitors each year. Houston attracts roughly 54 million.

NYC also has more international visitors than Houston so more people from around the world would get to see a shuttle.

I can see why consumers might generally prefer an all-in-one solution *IF* it won't be enshitified. Alas, since it WILL be, I prefer a device that can't phone home at all in order to make enshittification impossible. It's unfortunate that the otherwise cleaner solution is screwed up by bad manufacturers.
