What did the market expect? The design leaked last week seems unrelated. Maybe the software announce was weak.

AI slop tax on everyone who does not use it is more profitable than trying to get the few people that use it to pay for it. Surprise surprise.

I think most people would be hard pressed to come up with a mil for 2, so that's only 40k. For 2 people that would not be anywhere close to enough even in the boonies. 120k isnt really that much, assisted living is something like 5-6k here so you need 1.5m to just cover that without other expenses.

I dont know why they would choose 200m deep, its pretty dark at that depth and not super interesting. Why not park it somewhere near a reef at 30-50M, dive in dive out experience for tourists, good vac options, good lighting and easy to work on.

Think of it like your first subnautica base.

I personally really had the USB C "Standard". The cable shape and fit is good but the fact that the different USB C cables all look the same but dont actually work the same is a real problem. Having identical looking cables without any markings on them to indicate capability is really problematic.

The ford 10R80. 10 speed transmission is famous for being terrible dispute being in use since 2018.

As for toyota their new engines and transmissions arent really any better for fuel economy but seem to have reliability issues anyway. I think its more of a problem of too much power as the HP war rages on for more powerful engines.

Extend and pretend is the name of the game. If the lender triggers a default they will be stuck with the property and have to take the large balance sheet loss. Its generally better for them to pretend everything is fine until the property owner cant make the payment and even then its usually better to renegotiate than it is to take the hit. There isnt a clearing mechanism that would force the loss to occur and the property to resell at new market value.

Thats really the danger of low rates, it slows down market clearing forces and allows zombie companies to persist for a very long time.

I smell a financial engineering scam that will loose the company billions.

Rent is 13k a month, so instead of lowering the rates the store fronts stay empty. Well DUH! There is obviously a rent that would make shops profitable but its probably not 13k a month. Maybe its only 5k or 2k or even 1k. If you want to fill the shops you have to bring the prices down to what the market can bear.

Its because the problem you need to solve isnt that hard and already solved, it does not need to have a crazy complex novel solution. . All you have to do is present the problem and solution set. xtra math isnt some sort of complex system and it does not need to be, its stupid simple and does the thing its supposed to do.

Let me tell you as a parent I want no part of this AI garbage in the classroom. Its just an excuse to burn money the district does not have on software they dont need and that does not work.

Id way rather our school district bought an Xtramath account and taught the kids math facts in a simple way than waste money on AI that does not work or feeds misinformation.

sometimes you burn the CTO but you better make sure you brought ample firewood because guys at top can take some serious heat before melting and most low levels underestimate the amount of firewood it takes resulting in getting roasted by the leader instead.
