  Hard anodized aluminum is sealed with something, often teflon.

  Nope. It’s exactly the same process - it’s just Type III not type II.

  The sealer is what makes it non porous. That sealer is usually teflon that wears off.

  There are people paid on the net/gross performance of a film that I think they’re referring to- often in addition to a lower salary/wage. They don’t get paid any of that, but also doesn’t contribute to the loss.

  It’s not a shitty loophole. And what actually happens if they post a $200M loss, is that when they make a $340M gain the following year it’ll only appear as a $140M gain.

  In reality it’s almost certainly netting out in the same year and nothing is carrying forward. Their $5B in profit will just be $4.8B instead because they lost $200M.

  You’re saying the same thing. But it’s stupid to think like this either way.

  Everyone pretends that write offs/loss carry-forwards are some dark magical thing that’s good for business.

  It’s not, they’re terrible, it’s just less terrible than not being able to do it.

  No one wants to write things down or take losses when they don’t have to.

  You’re also assuming there are no other shareholders…………

  This is the way. Any medium fill power down will be like that in a few weeks.

  Everything I’ve tried is worse than down. The memory foam pillows are better than the synthetic fake down pillows that are hot garbage.

  If your pillow is $10-20 it’s probably not a good pillow.

  Depends how they view their business evolving. Ask Apple if you can build a device that runs iOS. They have an App Store and make lots of money from it.

  If they want to be in the hardware business, not just building proof of concept/proof of market devices, they very much may not want to share it with other manufacturing of competing devices.

  Allegedly MSFT took notice and is working on it…. But there are some good 3P apps that make it usable to launch games. Installing them is still a chore without a Bluetooth keyboard.

  Presuming valve wants to do this of course.
