Microcenter is headquartered here in Ohio. Arguably the best PC focused "brick and mortar" store still in existence. I feel like I stepped back into my childhood every time I go into one of their stores

Isn't that what just happened with Intel?


Not really, Intel had funding from Biden's bill, and Trump told them that in order to have that money they had to give a stake to the government. In this case Intel isn't being bailed out, just securing funding for new chip foundaries


The bee hummingbird weights 2 grams and it's 6cm long (about 2 inches) including the tail.

I always thought my budgerigar weighed nothing at 30grams (about an ounce), but he's not even close.


My wife and I met on one of those dating apps a few years before the pandemic. We've been married over 6 years now.

I consider us more of the exception than the norm. I also went on at least 100 dates over 18 months mostly to realize what I wanted and didn't want in a relationship. It did work out for us, but I don't recommend that approach to everyone.


Congratulations.


I feel Tony Stark is more like Howard Hughes than Elon. His dad even looks a bit like him in the movies

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Hughes


The comic book Tony Stark was definitely modeled on Hughes, but it seems like the (Marvel Studios) movie Stark was at least partially based on Musk.


And Elon is obviously modeling himself on Howard, so there's that.


If it's already in the news, it's already too late to short. News events tend to quickly reverse as well so I'd be looking for a long position at a support level


he's talking about the person who created the news...


They may feel like grassroots campaigns to save farms, but much of it is backing from large corporate interests. Doesn't mean that there aren't legit concerns, but the sponsorship makes me weary.

AMD is a US company:

Founder: Jerry Sanders

Headquarters: Santa Clara, California

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD


AMD doesn't fab their own chips. They currently utilize TSMC for that. Yes, if we were only talking about cutting edge chip design the US has no shortage.


USG is looking at spending ~$10B on an Intel stake. It's worth wondering whether it might make more sense to instead put the same money into AMD and earmark it for US fabs. Ditto NVidia.


There is an argument to be made there about how best to allocate the funds, but regardless of how the funds are deployed that spend has to be on Intel if you want it to protect US chip manufacturing and R&D. There are no other US chip manufacturers that are even trying to produce a chip under 12 nm. Unfortunately they are the only viable option.



A judge ruled that deployment illegal.

It's now winding its way through the appeals process.



Like I said in another comment, this was 12-13 years ago.
