I don't think that's right. Carbon and Argon have the same price.

I suspect they're using a new naming convention because they had previous contractual obligations tied to the "pro" and "flash" naming, and by switching to a new naming schema they avoid those commitments.

They released Argon shortly after announcing it, so I think some benefit of the doubt is reasonable here. They claim they're already evaluating it via the government.

I suspect they're announcing it for two reasons: to get ahead of all the leaks; and because it's earnings report day.

I think the story is even rosier than that. Coal power is dying, quickly.

There is a technical definition of genocide. There's no ambiguity as to what Israel is doing, only people like you who are probably concern trolling.

The blog post lost a bunch of text in the middle due to bad copy/paste, I think.
