Rio Tinto is already on it in Quebec. The pilot plant is planned to ramp up production in 2027. https://www.riotinto.com/en/news/releases/2026/rio-tinto-adv...

Sure, the stock price is up. Currently trading at 3-4x historical valuation (10y avg. forward P/E).
I was commenting on this though > They bailed out Intel and the stock recovered. I don’t think the stock (or the company) has recovered at all. Neither profits nor revenue (see my links above). But hey, who knows what…
> Or do very physically active individuals require more Vitamin D? IIUC, yes they do. They don’t “spend it” as such, they require higher serum levels overall (compared to sedative individuals, all else equals).
I think you may be confusing the (temporary) improved stock price with improved/recovered profitability? I see the (temporary) stock price recovery, as driven PURELY by valuation, i.e. an increase in P/E (instead of…
Sounds quite interesting! I do prefer to be explicit in low level programming.

I agree that more explicit is almost always better in C. It’s difficult enough as is :D I would do it exactly like you suggest, but using an explicitly sized type like uint32_t instead. If I write firmware or low-level…
> Market cap has nothing to do with free cash to absorb a $6billion loss I agree. I was trying to give an idea of the size of the company. As Binance doesn’t publish their financial statements, it’s difficult to get the…
What an arrogant assumption! I know the fucking difference between market cap and revenue. I also know Binance is a privately held company that doesn’t publish financial statements. If you can tell me their P/E, go…
Binance has a market cap just shy of $100B, so a $5.8B sure hurts, but it’s not a showstopper I’d say.

> Used car prices are still higher than pre-COVID Also if you adjust for inflation? (Which exploded after COVID)
Haha I know a skit from 1990, where the comedian makes this exact point. He even takes it a step further: “Why settle for turning back time just one hour? Think about how much we f*cked up the world in the past 30…
Again, no baseball card produces anything of value in the world. Many publicly traded companies do. They pay people’s salaries. You’re completely ignoring that.
Again, a baseball card doesn’t earn money or do anything profitable in the real physical world. A company often does. It’s no more “a piece of paper”, than a deed over a piece of land is. Would you also consider that “a…
> I don't really like the idea of a capital gains tax at a much lower rate than income Completely agree about this part. I find it unethical that capital earns more than labor. I don’t think that will ever change…
> I know some people love their parser generator tools, but I just don't find them to be worth the hassle Totally agree!
I think that perspective is too simplistic. A collectible card doesn’t have paying customers; many publicly traded companies do. They are real businesses that make money. When they make more, the price goes up.
I can see what you mean if very speculative or whatever, but many (most?) publicly traded companies earn money and own tangible assets. Buying shares means you own some of that company; that is the value. These…
My personal experience has been that the simpler undergrad algorithms are the most applicable. That’s probably also why you learn them first. IMO, it’s much more practical to thoroughly learn and understand the simpler…

Even for companies that do not pay dividends, share buybacks increase the value of each share, because you share the profits with fewer other shareholders. Buybacks raise the EPS/earning-per-share by lowering the…
