"Maybe they are measuring the helicopter at 10ft and takeoff power, and measuring their craft at cruising altitude and speeds."

lol wut

Doesn't seem to have helped you one lick.

that's what business does

This statement is straight up false with even a surface knowledge of the history of console (read: fixed embedded systems) hardware pricing.

It's also just false in a whole host of other ways. Does believing in such laughably simple absolutes help your head not hurt?

Sigh. That's not at all what they said. If there was any nefarious "agenda" at play "they" (whoever the fuck "they" are in the minds of climate change conspiracists) wouldn't even be publishing data like this since smoothed brain folk like you will take the shallowest of positions on the observation to refute the underlying science.

Totally orthogonal concern. Try again.

Fucking snowflakes. I mean you, not them.

That works, except when it doesn't. Some people are not rational actors, are not discouraged by being ignored, and have much much more time and energy to devote to a specific target. Actually, being ignored makes some people redouble their efforts.

"Who the fuck"

I call this old ditty the "Lament of the /. old person"

Calling AI like 60s AI on steroids is like calling a rocketship just a basketball on steroids. The only possible explanation for your post is that your feelings prevent you from discussing the topic in good faith.

40 years? That's so cute.

Transactional doesn't mean anything without consistency. To my mind the worst damage this administration is doing is to themselves in the longer term. What's the point of making any concessions for a deal at all if it will just not honor it? By defanging any oversight, and make itself its own enforcer, other parties really have no foundation upon which to assume that negotiated terms mean anything at all..
