I don't understand one thing: why would the Japanese government maintain a ZIRP or a NIRP ? What do they have to gain by doing so?

So you're saying the designed can cost 3X the COTS one. Similar idea to the story, no?

I got a 2026 model Y recently and tried out FSD. It made enough errors in the first few trips that I am surprised it's being touted as a "robotaxi". For example: travelling West on 15th street in SF, at Guerrero the leftmost

Imagine if you could buy your own "Waymo-equipped car". No need for driving lessons. No aggravation. No road rage. How many people would pay for such a luxury car? With the US population aging and public transit non-existent in mo

Uber also has to pay drivers. How much of that $50B goes to the operator? Meanwhile, for Waymo, a good chunk of it is profit (after the fixed cost of the vehicle, of course).

A lot of these problems could be solved if H1-B's were given out in order of salary (I think there's such a proposal going around recently). And by that I mean: something like a Dutch auction. Give H1-Bs to the top 85K paying jobs

It may not be hard, but there are no guarantees and a clock is ticking. Say you lose your job. Boom, the clock starts ticking and now you're in a rush to find an acceptable job that meets the criteria of H1B. Say your manager mistreats

The "best" part about H1-B (from a company's viewpoint) is that it's very difficult to switch jobs if you're on an H1-B. So you basically become an indentured servant, always afraid Da Bossman will fire you and you&

What does the firmware do, practically? Can I use the firmware on my Wyze cameras as a drop-in replacement? Will the cameras still talk to the Wyze app? I guess my question is: from a practical viewpoint, what do I get with this firmware (o
