I think he didn't really get that "Picard gets a neurological link to the Borg" == "not good"...

So I hate to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure Robert Picardo is a hologram...

They're just popular ETFs which contain a lot of $AAPL. I was just commenting that even if someone doesn't explicitly hold any $AAPL, if they own ETFs/mutual funds, they are likely exposed to $AAPL.

Doesn't apply to you though since you said you don't own any stock :)

...or $SPY, or $QQQ, or...

Posted this in another reply, but their entry level hardware has decreased in price over the years I think:

In 1999, the iBook was US$1599 (equivalent to $2925 in 2023) (source).

The 2010 13" Air was $1299 (more in today's $) (source).

The current 13" M3 Air is $1099 (source).

So yeah, they may well raise prices, but the cost of Apple's entry-level hardware has decreased in absolute terms over the years, and has decreased substantially if inflation is taken into account. Not to say the margins aren't higher (no idea about that), but it's interesting.

But the goal isn't just to convince people that you're better than the other candidate


it's to convince sympathetic people to get out and vote for you, and if not that, then at least not vote for the other.

I think people are largely decided on who they are not voting for, but who they are voting for is a bit different.

I'm usually against large institutions colluding together to kill off other institutions...

...but if the major research universities and labs all agreed to stop publishing in backwards for-profit journals, well I wouldn't exactly cry about it.

Right, that's what the & exit is supposed to prevent, since it's already logged out.
