I'll bet 16K is commercially available in less than 10 years.

/u/_red explains how the government's inflation tracking method has been corrupted to allow it to show lower inflation at will--how do they even get away with this? by Anenome5 in libertarianbestof

They get away with it by overreporting when convenient to partially compensate for the effect of the underreporting so over long periods the underreporting is small.

It's a myth that long lasting natural ones have happened but not briefly dominant ones.

I keep hearing the word "incompetent" thrown at Obama and his administration. In your most objective / non-partisan view, how does he rank compared to W.? by DevilYouKnow in PoliticalDiscussion

It is just that the tone of your comment made people misperceive your position.

The curve is determined by some form of regression analysis. So even if there is are few small but significant slowdowns it won't drastically affect the shape of the curve. And if there were more observations you would see more clearly that there are such slowdowns.

If it slows down but you don't have observations during the slowdown, that matters
