It's a shame. Groq was really great. Nvidia is stifling innovation here. I don't understand how market regulators allow this.

The FTC requested significant increases for technology and economic analysis for FY2025 ($535M), but was given a static budget with plans to cut by 11%. FTC chair Ferguson reduced staff from 1,315 to 1,221 and aims to reach around 1,100 through attrition to align with lower budgets. Oversight hearing is worth a listen to get a better idea on how the current administation is harming regulators: https://www.youtube.com…

how exactly is different…? I give you Trump, you give me Biden. I give you Scott, you give me Pelosi. I give you Bush, you give me Clinton… it is not different but regardless of whether it is or isn’t no one is defending it. it is just a disservice to everyone to think somehow magically things are all this different now than before, same crap different toilet paper

Lol which major media companies paid bribes to the Biden family? I don't disagree that they're all corrupt bastards but come on man you cannot seriously pretend the degree of corruption is the same.

Ok, I'll play: > We estimate that over the past two decades, USAID-funded programmes have helped prevent more than 91 million deaths globally, including 30 million deaths among children. How about that? Or are you going to come up with some excuse that somewhere, somehow, an american also benefitted from saving all these lives and therefor it doesn't count?

I mean you are making this too easy that I can copy&paste above the fold..: The core reason for creating USAID in 1961, under President John F. Kennedy, was to consolidate and revamp U.S. foreign aid into a single, more strategic agency to counter Soviet influence during the Cold War, promote democracy and free-market principles, and fulfill America's moral and economic role as a global leader. It aimed to separate e…

Right; Nvidia pays Groq then Groq pays the investors. Groq has no better use for the money.

Is that your opinion, or you have some more solid source to state that? Because your argument sounds something like this: Nvidia did something (a fact), and I am sure that after that Groq will do something else (not a fact), therefore Nvidia is such a bad player. Do you consider this to be a correct argument?

If you think Biden is corrupt surely you're completely crashing out about Trump. Or do you only care about corruption when it's not your team?

Biden is a 5+ decades politician, he is corrupted and has had every fiber of being sold to the highest bidder over and over again. it is you that care about “which team you are on” - not me. I have been a democrat my entire life and will continue to be so especially now that alternative barely exists but I also posses intelligence to know that democrats (especially fucking establishment ones like biden) are corrupt t…
