Throwback Thursday for 2024-07-04
Throwback Thursday will likely become a format based upon Fudge Sunday Weekly newsletter sections for "Shot and Chaser". Basically, this is a look back at a prior prediction or past news coverage and how that worked out in the present.

Past examples of "Shot and Chaser" included embedding content from Twitter (as it was known at the time) in the form of a specific tweet. As I come across Twitter URLs in my newsletter archive, I am finding that the change in Twitter ownership, degradation of URLs (link rot), and the transition between different newsletter platforms has made much of this content difficult or, sadly, impossible to follow.
For example, if you were to look back 40 years press coverage, you’d probably not bat an eyelash for the impact of one company on the current underpinnings of A.I. fervor today.
Micron - While it might seem like it has been 40 years, Micron has been a fixture in technology for decades since and decades to come. Recent commentary on HBM alone is just the latest story in the history of this amazing company.
Techmeme: Micron reports Q3 revenue up 82% YoY to $6.81B, vs. $6.67B est., a $332M net income, and forecasts Q4 revenue in line with est.; MU drops 6%+ (Kif Leswing/CNBC)
