The issue CFIUS seems to have is that Lumileds’ product portfolio relies on compound semiconductor material gallium nitride (GaN) chips
Wud? GaN technology is everywhere these days, including in tons of USB chargers imported from China. That can’t be the real reason.
Music is a weird art form, because something sounding familiar is very important to our ear. Many people have a really hard time liking music that is too foreign to their taste and end up sticking with only a select few genres.
Where familiarity is important, AI can deliver easily. I would think as much as we hate the idea, there is a pretty significant market for AI-generated music, specifically because it’s so predictable and follows convention to a tee.
Fair enough. Although then Boris Johnson won the election, so someone was happy with his shit show Brexit, no?
Sûre they do! It’s right over there with the Famous Epstein Client List Pam Bondi said she had!
The number of Republicans who approve of Trump’s performance on inflation sank by 10 percentage points (from 83 to 73 percent) since last summer.
Alright, I understand a lot of things are political in nature, but what the hell is wrong with people who see inflation go up and think, “He’s doing a great job on this issue!”
Never forget his borrowed Nobel peace prize!
I mean, when your two best allies in the world are Donald Trump and Viktor Orbán, and you are cozy with Vladimir Putin, you really should revisit your genocidal priorities in life, don’t you think?
Right? Argentina having a beef shortage is weirdo bizarre, like Russia running out of vodka or Saudi Arabia out of oil.
OMG the ones that voted for Brexit despite having a retirement home in the EU and then got kicked out for not paying taxes were hilarious!
“What do you mean we need a visa? THIS IS NOT THE BREXIT I VOTED FOR!!!”
Don’t forget Reddit! That has always been a skidmark-filled guilty pleasure.
That reminds me of the (apparently real) complaint by a British couple vacationing in Spain, who were outraged that nobody had told them so many people would be speaking Spanish. 😀
Why yes of course they would push it - they generate it themselves and pay themselves generously!
That definitely tracks neuroscience’s finding that conservatives over-express fear in general. Probably one of the reasons why they cannot understand liberals.
How long have you not used Spotify any longer? Because I would have agreed with your assessment in the past, but I gave up two years ago because new suggestions sounded more like promoted music than anything related to my taste.
Remember when the Republicans were all screaming that Obamacare was going to create death panels? Should have thought twice before giving health insurance companies ideas…
If it were just divorce, that would not be as bad. Former allies are increasingly concerned they are going to be the next target of Trump’s greed. Canada and Europe, automatic American allies forever, have to make contingency plans for a US invasion. That’s absolutely nuts.
I can only imagine how a soldier must feel like when they get to eat stuff like that, and then they are fighting a war that is so dramatically unpopular at home, and all it seems to do it make everything more expensive.
I would think retention is going to become a major problem for the US military.
I do understand why the state wants to prosecute him, but I also think the public deserved to know what Snowden revealed. It’s definitely the kind of thing the pardon power was created for, not for drug lords to bribe their way back into freedom.
They may have bought the Rolls-Royce specifically for the insurance fraud? As in, what is a readily available vehicle that costs a ton of money, so we can make a high-end insurance claim?
What America does is not really that important, because America does have sufficient fossil fuel production to satisfy its own energy needs. It has an incentive to continue using fossil fuels, simply because it produces them.
I think it’s much more important what the big economies do that don’t have that option: Europe, China, India, Africa. They should have electrified a long time ago, but haven’t because of a host of reasons, mostly the cost of switching technologies.
A sudden supply shock like this can make you quickly forget costs of switching. Sort of like a catalyst in chemistry: closing the Strait of Hormuz is a little like putting platinum in your exhaust pipe, it makes things happen that wouldn’t otherwise (including making them less polluting).
