People walking by in the street. It’s a great way to meet new people.

Bend it back further. When it gets to 180 degrees, it latches into place and doesn’t spring back.

There’s a difference between driving fast and being ready to move when an opportunity appears. It mainly comes down to watching traffic far enough down the road so you anticipate where the gap will be. That then allows you to smoothly merge into it.

No. The board can decide to issue more shares, but this is a sub-dividing of the already issued shares and so normally requires a vote from the shareholders. Major shareholders normally sit on the board, so the two groups overlap but are legally distinct.

If a company buys it own shares, it’s normally a “buyback” and the shares cease to exist.

Of course. They are shareholders.

The company is a separate legal entity though.

The company doesn’t care if the stock price hits $1. If the company is paying it’s bills, it just continues. It’s the people who hold shares that care. The company doesn’t hold shares in itself.

Enron collapsed because the company financials collapsed, not because the stock price collapsed. That happened after all the bad accounting practises and hidden debt came to light. Now, in that case the shareholders succeeded in suing for their losses, but they only had a case because of the mismanagement.

I’ll always worry about a guy that dresses like Jimmy Saville.

This is what you get when AI fanaticism combines with Rust fanaticism.

1 million lines a month is 2-ish line per second. That “engineer” is just someone to blame when things don’t work. They aren’t going to be contributing anything.

No. They are maroon.

Ah the bubble is the expansion volume. Not the storage volume… got it. I had it backwards.

So yes, very similar then.

We had these things called Gasometers in the UK for a long time. They expanded with the amount of gas stored in them, and they kept the pressure of the local gas supply up. A local gas reservoir, or “gas battery” if you like.

These bubbles are basically the same idea but at higher pressure.

AI code sucks. An AI code review tool told us.

The article also calls out copper which will be in PCBs and wiring looms.

I shouldn’t worry about it.

I think that’s a good observation.

Part of the problem is that all the while the stock prices stay up, those companies in the second bubble have the spending power of governments, and that in-turn inflates the first bubble.

Aye, and with all the money consolidated in a few big tech companies they’ve basically been able to form their own “oligarchy funded project” and act independently of any government.

An economy all their own.

No, but the companies using it should.

You are comparing very well established brands to a company in a sector that is far less established. Yes, OpenAI is the most well known, but not to the degree of $300B.

The last one was plain old dodgy rust code.
