As a former hardware engineer I support the move by the FTC! I have an honest question though: does the lawsuit have any realistic change to block that merger?
It absolutely does. The FTC doesn’t bring lawsuits forward unless they have pretty good reason to believe they will succeed. I suspect they have been gathering evidence to make this case for a while now.
Always such a weird argument. I assume Nvidia also doesn't try to aquire large companies unless they have pretty good reason to believe they will succeed.
I dislike even engaging with this kind of lazy reasoning. The offer was made under a different US administration which did not prioritize enforcement of antitrust laws.
If you dislike lazy reasoning, why do you post it on HN?
This is an aside but: what made you switch away from hardware engineering? And what are you doing nowadays?
It seems it will at least delay it while the lawyers fight it out in court.
