I think you've misinterpreted my comment. My point is that new car buyers don't really have to care about costs a decade out while Heavy Truck buyers do.

Traditional jets have a long inventory and regulation cycle but for example retrofitting a A320 to LNG appears to save 20%:

Which still puts it behind the 787 let alone the generation that comes next.. But you aren't going to succeed at making any new inventory without every possible efficiency improvement to drive sales and retirement of older inventory.

Who would invest in an ICE truck now not knowing what higher costs or restrictions it might have in a decade.. Most new car buyers are inherently irrational and not trying to make a profit from TCO relative to other car owners, but a truck..

Sure but modern cloud subscriptions have a lot of service layers you otherwise won't pay for so effectively you may be buying the hardware yearly that's a lot different than renting a media collection that would be assembled over a lifetime for the price of one new item a month.

HIV was a gift to the Christian right and now that medication has been so successful, things like HPV make up a larger part of what they have left. Helping parents misuse their small power in general but extreme power over their children also plays into the hands of people wanting the corruption of power over truth.

>> Eventually I tried with something else, and found a question on stackoverflow, luckily with an answer. That was the game changer and eventually I was able to find the right doc

Read carefully and paraphrase to the generous side. The metaphor that follows that is obviously trying to give an example of what might be somehow lost.

The example wasn't even finding a right answer so I don't see where you got that..

Searching questions/answers on SO can surface correct paths on situations where the LLMs will keep giving you variants of a few wrong solutions, kind of like the toxic duplicate closers.. Ironically, if SO pruned the history to remove all failures to match its community standards then it would have the same problem.

You can't really put politics aside when the US was obviously dangling the return of the Monroe doctrine for Ukraine. Let's see what that "deal" looks like.

It's a chance.. But which for-profit environments are not going to do whatever is necessary to try to win that role and how will the worst of them not have the most profitable model?

I talked to a CEO of one of these companies who claimed his accountants were pushing him to do the leasing only since a company was only supposed to be in one sector. A tech company that has a lot of real estate on the books wasn't going to have the same ups relative to book value, etc. Of course not having the same downs seems worth it if you aren't a day trader.
