Thanks for clarifying that.

Blue ray also had the advantage of not having multiple D’s in its name.

It’s not like China can be trusted either. This is a matter of not relying on your adversary.

The US/China decoupling is happening everywhere.

According to Trump, Q4 only looks good for Biden because Trump won and that caused excitement in the market. So the responsible for 24Q4 is Trump and 25Q1 is Biden. Stable genius strikes again.

I wonder what could possibly have changed in US this year to cause this stark reversal in the economy.

That used to be the norm. Low income voters vote for democrats and the elites vote for republicans. However, that has been changing lately. Trump is getting a lot of blue-collar voters. Those are usually suppressed by these laws. There’s a chance that these laws may hurt republicans more than democrats.

Every time the excitement ends when I remember the next in line is this guy:

I’m getting tired of winning. The other day I wrote a letter to Trump saying: Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don’t win so much.

Covid-like supply chain chaos, here we go again.

Managers do. Collecting status and showing who’s boss is their work.

A 5% drop this year is a wildly optimistic forecast.

I always hated this side of “communication, teamwork, and personality” early in my career. I thought those soft skills were overvalued by people who weren’t good in their technical skill.

Now that I’ve been a senior engineer for a while, I can say the soft skills are just as important as the technical skills. It sucks leading people with bad attitude and those whom we have to babysit all the time.
