'Immediately split Intel in two, between fab and design.
The Intel name needs to stay with the design firm. The separate fab needs to lose all traces of the Intel name. Call it "Innotech".'

The problem is that internally Intel views itself first as a manufacturing firm. Designs are just something to make use of the fabs.

To be fair, some of it is also a money laundering operation for Iran.

"something that is undeniably good, "

A stopped clock is correct twice a day; that doesn't mean it is an effective timepiece.

Only an insensitive clod would be naked and petrified.

"Supposedly 50+ countries have contracted the White House. There is talk of some offering zero tariffs in both directions.

The White house just rejected 0% tariff from Vietnam.

"We we ban algorithms"

-1, illiterate

Who is banning algorithms? This law does not ban algorithms.

It bans price fixing that uses an algorithm to hide the fact that it's price fixing.

Why do you hate free markets so much?

The resolution to revoke the emergency for the Canada tariffs already passed the Senate, but due to the bullshit redefinition of a day in the rules for the budget continuing resolution it can't get fast-tracked in the House. However, the new emergencies for the other tariffs are not covered by that redefinition.

"From what I've seen the US imported $3.5 billion worth of goods from Russia last year."

That still places Russia about 25th in trade imbalance with the US.

"Already under sanctions" is not a criterion under either the stated metric nor the actual metric for computing the tariffs. So yes, Russia is getting leniency.

"Spending for California is 21th most and Texas is at 35th. Seems California is the state that really needs attention. "

Now sort your second link by "K-12 Spending as % of Taxpayer Income". Texas is 3.89% while California is 3.38%. What's really called for is a cost-of-living adjustment, but the jist is that California is more expensive than Texas. New York is way out of line of costs., and Montana remains a highlight.

"Even better: do not take them in the first place."

If you don't want to be robbed, never earn any money.

"COBOL uses 1875-05-20 as the epoch ("zero date")"

COBOL does not have a native date type.

In addition, there's no date type anywhere that uses "May 20, 1875" as its epoch.

"There is a whole world in between the financial security of the Boomers and homelessness"

There is a whole world between them *so far*.

Only $1.8 million? That's Bill Clinton level bribery. I am disappoint.

Will this rewrite come before or after the air traffic control rewrite?

" I don't see why they couldn't start working on this project and keep the other one running until the next solution can actually take over."

They can't do that because they are temperamentally incapable of accepting that as a way to do things.
