You miss the point. Hardly. I'm the guy upthread, lamenting the current state of things. But with e-ink, you can be detached. Knowing someone buys a newspaper is hardly a surprising thing. To put it in perspective, a large number

E-ink is getting cheaper and cheaper, there's a lot of 6" screen devices for $100. If it dropped to $100 for a 11" screen, that would be a respectable size for a magazine. I cite eink as most are distraction free, or can be

It's not just drones, but parts for drones. It's also munitions, shells, missiles. It's about production volume. The Ukraine is also getting large supplies of the same from the West. No side can produce domestically, what

Yes, I'm not disagreeing that there are lots of interesting things to hit on the Gulf coast. PADD3 is just another way to say "gulf" refineries, it's a location not a technical specification. Other refineries can indeed

A big mistake here was simply underestimating the scale of Iran. There is value in much of what you're saying in your post, even though I don't necessarily agree 100% with all of it. However, no one involved in planning or star

I think you underestimate how much of that 50% is just exports. And how much other plants can be scaled up quickly. And how the US can temporarily nationalize things, and ensure all the output goes domestic. Just a backroom threat of eme

Your assertion is that we should stop enforcing all laws? Or only this specific crime? Why this crime, and not others? If it's because you don't "like" this law, then aren't you Mr Double Standards, not I? Aren&#

I don't buy the whole premise. A couple of months ago there were a bunch of news stories, about how maybe oil companies should be sued, just like tobacco companies were. Then, suddenly out of nowhere, it's actually the gloves that

This will certainly work, but the whole mesh networking and more advanced aspects of a real wifi router won't really be present. I get by without it, but I can imagine some won't be able to.

I seem to recall that the entire chip that was created by buddy, to enable skynet, was actually a chip in a Terminator that was reverse engineered. Leaving the original timeline uncertain. Was it original, really the original? Or the 10t

I be quite blunt, what you're saying here seems wildly unreasonable. Why on earth would you presume someone talking about such hedges, is discussing 6 people? The very idea is absurd, and you're certainly not discussing this in a

I think one problem is, almost all security cameras are sold with audio these days. If the cameras have a mic, telling people "Oh, we turned the mic off in each camera" or "We don't record the audio" isn't ver

And why not? If you look at examples of people quoting on the internet, lots are out of context, paraphrased, or made up. AI is just mimicking what it has seen.

Which makes no sense, if the property is in Android itself. For example, lots of people use phones without any google play framework installed. Without that framework, how does it "carry over"? This just raises more questions abo

You make me wonder if it is possible. All you need to do is to programmatically change bits, and you have compute. Some cache monkeying or somethong. Of course, I imagine it would be incredibly slow.

It'd kind of sad, how the market went. I suppose there are pluses too. But back in the 80s and 90s, margins were significantly higher. If you look at hardware, I recall selling hardware with 30% margin, if not more... even 80% on som

Meta may be manipulating things to try to ensure they don't pay for age verification, but I think the state's true goal is more about foreign influence. The very fact that we allow armies of state-actor paid posters to work dilige
