tl;dr: Summary not available
HN Discussion:
  • ↑Historical precedent supports price fixing claims given past DRAM scandals
  • ↓Previous similar lawsuit failed due to lack of evidence of agreement
  • ↓Discontinuing old DRAM generations is legitimate business, not price fixing
  • ↓High demand alone explains margins; no collusion needed to explain pricing
  • ↑Cartel behavior has serious downstream consequences and needs urgent remediation
