Trump suggested the extraordinary step of directly involving himself in a counterintelligence investigation, a sign of his friendly relationship with Huang and the possible geopolitical stakes. "I did speak to him today just to see if he's feeling all right, how you're doing," Trump said. "He said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy."

Seriously, where did Trump "(involve) himself in a counter-intelligence investigation"?

Trump is a Billionaire.

Huang is a Billionaire.

Professionally and personally they travel in the same circles.

Huang is being investigated, Trump reached out to him directly (not the investigating bodies, the subject of the investigation), and asked his friend how he is doing given recent events. Oh, and then he went and told reporters he had done just that. Exactly where is the "evidence" that he involved himself in the investigation?

Absent any actual evidence, you're just making stuff up - and honestly, if you have to resort to making stuff up, it just undermines your arguments.

I suppose it would be OK if Huang just called him to discuss the weather in D.C., kinda like how Hunter Biden used to call his dad in the middle of dinners with Hunter's "business associates" to discuss the weather - never, ever to discuss anything political.

Ah yes, TDS. The inability to ever accept any criticism of your idol.

That's not how TDS works, Trump Derangement Syndrome is the inability to look at things rationally, instead injecting Donald Trump into all issues, large and small.

The irrational support of Donald Trump, or, if you prefer, "The inability to accept any criticism of your idol." (Donald J Trump), would be properly classified as "MAGA"

Seriously, did you even bother to read TFS? Of course not...

"Binance said it was able to replace the funds taken in the record hack by using company money to buy new tokens," reports NBC News:

The remaining 10% consists of tokens that are less liquid, meaning they may take longer to buy, it said in a statement posted on X... Binance said it has set aside around $6.34 billion of company funds internally to cover the losses. The money spent re-buying tokens came from using part of its $1 billion Secure Asset Fund for Users, a bitcoin reserve it holds to protect customers in the event of security breaches, as well as some of its Futures Insurance Fund, and the company's own corporate treasury, it said on X.

if the elections flip Congress to candidates who are willing to tighten the regulatory noose around tech companies' balls, hope it will crash 2000-2001 style.

Uh, and how will pension funds and individual retirees deal with the losses?

The stock market is full of individual and institutional investors, trying to raise funds to pay for workers retirement plans - not faceless "oligarchs" stroking their hairless cats in mountain side lairs plotting the exploitation of the working class...

one of the major suppliers has long-term agreements with 14 different long-term customers that use up capacity for the next 3 years. Those 14 customers are going to include the big retailers are wholesalers.

What?

"Retailers" and "wholesalers" are "(using) up capacity for the next 3 years? What are you talking about?

You think "Best Buy" is negotiating for RAM with the MFG? No, it's server Mfg lining up RAM for the servers they expect to build to stuff inside AI datacenters.

"Retailers" and "Wholesslers" don't buy raw RAM from manufacturers.

And use QWERTY or QWERTY-like. HJKL cursor navigation doesn't quite work the same on DVORAK or other layouts.

What?

Re-read what you wrote and go off and think about it...

HJKL navigation is not QWERTY-dependent, it works just fine on Dvorak-layout keyboards, although key placement/layout is a bit non-sensical, but "h" Dvorak moves the cursor exactly the same way "h" does on QWERTY.

How do you suppose that "if it existed there would be prosecutions" when it's simply easily observed reality that this DoJ is led by partisan hacks that are doing Trump's bidding rather than blind justice?

Why didn't the prior administration examine/review, redact, and release any of the Epstein documents?

It's well-known that the previous administration wanted to try and prevent Trump from returning to office, so why didn't they do anything with these documents that currently demand Trump release?

Does it seem more likely that they ignored the documents or they examined the documents and found nothing actionable?

It's not unreasonable to hold the latter position. The former may be accurate, but the latter is at least equally likely.
