I'm gone. Like a steam locomotive rolling down the track, I'm gone, gone, and nothing's going to bring me back. I'm gone. 06/29/2023

Back in 1981 when I earned my MBA, Arthur Andersen recruited heavily at my university. Many of my classmates took their first jobs out of MBA with them.
Me, I wanted to work in semiconductors with an undergrad engineering degree and took a job with Intel Corp. My profs thought I was out of my mind, they had never heard of Intel. And told me so.
I have wondered what happened to all those classmates. I hope they landed on their feet.
Waiting on god has never been an effective investment tactic.
iHub is redesigning the site "real time" using their users as a beta group. Most organizations would perfect the new code with a beta group of volunteers before springing it on the public but that's not the way iHub is doing it.
Krzanich (and Murthy) did great damage to Intel.
Krzanich largely ignored Intel's core competencies and devoted his time to shiny objects like woke politics and drone aerial displays.
Both Murthy and Krzanich destroyed Intel Culture. The brain drain was crippling over those 5 years.
Pat Gelsinger has one major job turning this around. But I think he is up to the job. It will take the right people, time and capital. He is on the right track.
wEaReLeGiOn, I'm sure you will not be surprised to learn that I do not care what you think of me or my level of intelligence.
Your post illustrates your own lack of intelligence by resorting to ad hominem attacks instead of debating my assertions. A sure way to lose a debate quickly.
As expected.
Your assumptions are way off base. I think the COVID vaccinations are helpful. I have taken both doses of the Pfizer vaccine and plan to take the booster next month (I am waiting a couple of weeks because I just got my seasonal flu vaccine). That is my choice. Emphasis on the word "choice".
I am not a Republican. I have voted for both Republicans and Democrats over the course of my life, usually for the lesser of two evils. But as Jerry Garcia once said (paraphrased), "when you vote for the lesser of two evils you are still voting for evil". There have been times where I couldn't bring myself to vote for either major candidate. Then I have either voted for a third party candidate who had no chance or abstained from voting that slot altogether.
Your veiled attempt to cast aspersions at me while maintaining it was "aimed at anti-vaxxers and not necessarily yourself" is intellectually lazy and a personal affront. I don't cotton to people who take me for an idiot.
That said, please continue to enjoy your nasty self. You seem to really enjoy it. This is the last time I will engage you in any discussion. You are simply not worth my time anymore.
ddfred, you represent the far-right side of the faux political spectrum. I have as little concern for such a position as I do for the far-left.
The vaccines help. The booster will help even more for those who need it.
It is up to each individual to choose whether to vaccinate or not. But to belittle anyone who choses to vaccinate or not is very poor form.
Some day, this pandemic will be behind us. You should keep this in mind.
A post that is a nice surprise.
Hope you're keepin' on keepin' on.
We are doing fine. Planned our plan many years ago. Current events only make our plan more prescient. Left Phoenix for the outback 20 years ago.
I thought the value of the article far exceeded the value of your petty war with conix, of which I am painfully aware. I still feel that way.
We can agree to disagree. Unless you decide we cannot.
That's a damned shame. It was a good article and the author (Woodward) and newspaper (Washington Post) were included. Anyone with a keyboard could have found the article in 2 minutes.
That was a ham-handed deletion, IMO.
Correction: It took me 15 seconds to find the article.

OK. Then fµ¢k the Union.
I see your allegiances are quite fluid.
His last post on iHub was August 26. Beyond that, I don't know.
The white paper was product marketing for Intel. There is nothing proprietary involved. I'm sure Field Application Engineers were involved to teach Enzolytics how to use the tool. That's about it.
Affordable rental property?
Great Zeus, it will be the fortunate who find rental property of any kind soon.
Landlords are selling their properties at an unprecedented rate. They cannot make any money at all when Uncle Sugar forgives everyone's rental payment.
And thanks for not giving "a shit" about my healthcare. I do not need it.
Ciao!
I'm doing fine with healthcare.
But I also know our epistemologies are diametrically opposed.
And you will never amend yours nor I mine.
So let's not waste a lot of time in trying to do so.
I agree on the critical need to upgrade the power grid. My first job out of the Air Force was at an electric utility as a distribution engineer. This was in the '70's but the need was high even then.
On my grid-tied system, it works like this. About 10 years ago my rural electric co-op made an offer I couldn't refuse (it probably was because they discontinued it a year or two later). They would reimburse 1/2 the costs of materials and labor for installation of any solar or wind generation of any capacity. I sized my turbine and solar generation close to my actual historic usage. When I'm not generating, I buy the power from the co-op at the retail kWh price. When I generate surplus, I sell it to the co-op at the wholesale kWh price. The co-op "evens up" the ledger once a year on a specified month. Like I said, I am using the utility as an inefficient and expensive battery bank.
I could have gone off grid but I didn't want the maintenance time and headache and the price of the required battery capacity. Plus, I HATE fµ¢king around with a lot of acid.
In terms of energy, I am in favor of using EVERYTHING. Oil, gas, coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind turbines, photovoltaic, even hydrogen power cells if they ever get it figured out. For now. We need them all.
In the future, the market will allocate capital to the most efficient and effective.
As to who manages energy production, the market will do the same for the same reasons.
Capitalism.
Not socialism.
The politicians are trying to brute-force renewable energy before technology exists that can efficiently support it.
Wind turbines don't generate when the wind doesn't blow. Photovoltaic doesn't generate when the sun doesn't shine.
Electric vehicles aren't efficient until charge rates and storage increases. Charging them today simply shifts carbon-based generation to electric generation plants from gasoline/diesel. Not very green.
What is missing? Efficient and effective battery technology. Until batteries can charge quickly to hold large amounts of power in a usable form factor, the politicians are spending tons of money on a dream that isn't here yet. Enough money that it could cripple our economy. It is akin to Henry Ford building a production line for the Model T before the internal combustion engine exists.
I use wind turbines and photovoltaic panels at my place yet I am still tied to the grid. Why? Batteries. Essentially I am using my electric utility as an inefficient and expensive battery bank.
Sell no dream before it's time.
PlusOneCoin inflation.
Too many PlusOneCoin chasing too few admirable posts.
I'm giving PlusOneCoins for Christmas.
I suddenly seem to have more than I can use!
I should add that, like crypto currency, the Dollar has no intrinsic value either beyond the "promise" of "the full faith and credit of the United States".
Dollars are created out of thin air as well. What backs up the dollar is the public's faith that the government will not print too many and the confidence that the dollars will be accepted everywhere. The government seems to no longer be concerned about printing too many.
The Dollar can collapse as well.
Crypto currency has no intrinsic value.
Absolutely none. It is created out of thin air.
It is as bad as a stinky pinky stock, only more heavily propped up.
The day will come when the entire house of cards collapses.
Never is indeed a long, long time.
The Baier documentary on US Grant is on "Fox Nation", Foxes online streaming presence.
I don't subscribe to it but found it on a search. I may buy the book, though.

Is it trading on OTC?
If so, it is CRAP.
I fear we are experiencing PlusOneCoin inflation.
Too many PlusOneCoins chasing too few goods.
And now for something completely different.
