Because elites didn't get what they wanted in an election. We must immediately go back to centralized control of media, so elites can regain control of the information everyone has. The present situation is too democratic for them.
Same reason China uses US-designed semiconductors: no viable homegrown alternatives, now or in the foreseeable future. With some noteworthy exceptions, Europe has been falling further behind in areas of technology recently.
Every decision I don't like is always motivated by someone getting bribed. If people stopped taking bribes and started to do the things that appeal to me emotionally, everything in the world would be a paradise for all.
Look for an article contradicting this article within a few days. Fujian Jin Hua Integrated Circuit and Innotron Memory may supply "DRAM", but that doesn't mean they'll supply competitive DRAM for leading edge applications in volume in 2019. It's more complicated than more suppliers == oversupply.
If DRAM were easy to make then there would be a lot of competitive suppliers and low margins instead of 3 suppliers making high margins.
This article may be correct. It's more likely incorrect (or a mixed bag of correct/incorrect).
Micron stock is up today, so markets aren't taking it too seriously.
Bots pretending to be humans are effectively committing fraud.
No. Fraud has a specific definition: "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain".
Please explain why you think that does not apply here. The bots are a deception if they don't announce that they are bots. And they are designed to provide someone value. In fact, that definition could not fit this situation any more precisely.
It has to be wrongful gain. Do you want Stephen King put in prison for writing books as Richard Bachman?
And you consider yourself the most qualified person on the planet to determine...
We have self government. That makes every voter qualified enough.

"In movies about slavery they always try to tell you how bad slavery is by showing people get whipped and brutalized. But slavery wasn't bad because people got whipped and brutalized, people got whipped and brutalized because slavery was bad. That's why that happened, because when you want to control people, when you want to take people's freedoms away, when you want them to become instruments of your will, you have to abuse them and enslave them."
My impression of Californians, when I meet them and work with them, is that they are the same as everyone else I know in Ohio.
I live in California. Just like other places, people tell themselves stories that appeal to them emotionally. Unlike other places, the people here don't seem as able to balance that out with other things, like objective facts, or personal humility, or genuine empathy, or a respect for others, or an understanding of tradition.
Yes, we should also get rid of labeling laws and virtually everything to do with health and safety.
A less absolutely moronic answer would be to get rid of some and keep some — making the decision based on facts and the examination of actual events that have occurred.
Only absolute morons suggest the only options are zero government and complete totalitarian involvement in every minute of everyone’s existence.
If someone eats a hamburger with asbestos sprinkled on it for flavor, then that's their fault, they should have scanned all their foodstuffs with asbestos detectors.
No such hamburger has ever existed. We already have all the protection we need against purely imaginary threats.

If cold in winter is "just weather", why is heat in summer "climate"?
Feeding the hype machine isn't very sciency.
Don't be silly. Posts on message boards don't have credibility. Never did, never will.

There has to be some reason for the state to make a choice that clearly hurts them in multiple severe ways.
Most obvious possible reason: they disagree. They don't think it hurts them.

The overwhelming majority of everyone chooses X. Germany now also chooses X. You really think bribery and corruption are the most likely reasons?

Idealism vs. getting shit done. It's no surprise that Germany's government is choosing getting shit done.
They should try that for electricity generation next.
Do people still use Facebook?

Some benighted people still aren't donating. Those ignorant deniers don't believe in the sun!
We're dedicated to bringing sunshine and mild temperatures to humanity! Donate to my foundation. Don't let the corporate overlords take away the sun!
That’s a content free post. Better headline "Advocacy group offers vague complaints"

Yeah, well when I want to "remember" something, I just take a photo of it with my phone!
The more complicated the math problem, the more likely the correct test answer is 1
So, here is your medical text book so that you can protect yourself from carcinogens...
I just rely on the Prop 65 warnings. I'm sure the bot warnings will be just as helpful.
I'm ashamed of what my side has become when I regularly read posts like that from my liberal friends on Facebook and Twitter.
This was always a part of who they were.
If you think you're a good person, how'd you become a bad person?

Won't somebody think of the children!!
Saying 30-40 million people are "shallow and self involved" is about the epitome of you being shallow and self-involved, faggot.
It's not everyone. The vast majority of CA voters ruin it for the rest.
Sometimes, it involves preventing people from shooting you cause they dislike you. Other times it involves stopping other bad behaviors.
When did government prevent a shooting? They normally just show up after the victim is dead and put up police tape and take photos.
Then they pass laws to oppress the innocent while telling voters a tale about how oppressing people who are not like you will make you safe.
