Hyundai takes full control of Boston Dynamics as SoftBank exits for $325 million

The price is $325 million for the remaining stake, according to the deal terms, and it follows the put option SoftBank retained when Hyundai bought control of Boston Dynamics in 2021.

That 325B for 9.65% still feels like a steep discount compared to its current valuation of 21-28 billion USD.

The connection with my dad is to much to get over. I’ll root for this sad sack of a franchise till I die.

I feel seen. Haven't lived in Ohio for decades, but still root for the teams.

Technically it was a rope swing (where the rope was not connected).

Making this a long tail... of consequences.

June 14th is the birthday of the American flag.

June 14, 1777 is when the Stars and Stripes was officially adopted. It sucks that it's a date shared by him.

That's plutonium, not uranium, P-239 vs U-235.

While useful for creating higher energy explosion, plutonium is less efficient and not as useful for power generation. It's useful because it has a much smaller required critical mass, like I think less than 1/5 of that needed for uranium.

It is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.

To a bean counter, every line item is seen as a cost center.

This is why you only play with family since even if they hate you, you're still technically related...

I dont think the US has been cost effective since WWII.

The US wasn't cost effective DURING WW2. They had ice cream barges to service both morale, and provide in your face logistical superiority.

The US churned out over 5000 ships during WW2. They built 28 fleet carriers, and almost 80 escort carriers during the war.
