About mrtksn

Sometimes I will say things I don't actually believe so we can have a more lively debate. Also, I will upvote stuff I don't necessarily agree or like to increase visibility and diversity of positions on that matter.

    Isn’t that kind of useless for the stock? It sounds complicated, unlike having number of CPUs go up. It’s like talking about anything else than Megapixels when everyone was convinc…

    I agree, however the problem is that large number of parents can't do that and it becomes a societal issue. That's why we are talking about that, otherwise it would have been priva…

    In real life, it doesn't work like this for most people. In real life, kids want something and either the parents agree to buy that and then they no longer bother with that device …

    That's not parents issue. That's why we go after people who sell or give drugs to kids. Is a serious offense, we don't wave our hands and say its parents problem and not drugging k…

    You're making the mistake of assuming that every kid has access to identified device and that device is under parent control. You can't make this assumption because that's not true…

    You know what, it's not something I know anything about but it seems like the "Taiwan is not part of China" folks are annoying and I haven't met the opposite kind so I guess I lean…

    No I don't mean anything related to politics of China-Taiwan. I have no interest in that.

    To be fair, all high end chips are made in Asia with EU tooling. US happens to be the place where the managers are and the trade is facilitated. There has been some good progress t…
