There are good use cases for both technologies. For smaller, lighter vehicles in warmer climates, lithium batteries make a lot of sense. For heavy, long haul trucks that require minimal refueling, hydrogen fuel cell makes a lot of sense. Yo

Nature abhors a vacuum. If western countries are not setting up credit facilities, someone else will. It might be predatory private entities looking to get their hands on state assets, or it might be the Saudis or Chinese looking to exert m

I don't know anyone who would want this. Nobody wants to be around someone in social situations who might be surreptitiously filming them. Wearing glasses with a camera on them is a great way to be labelled a creep by everyone around y

Trudeau derangement syndrome is real. If tomorrow, Trudeau came out in favor of breathing oxygen, conservatives in this country would choke themselves to own the libs.

The US has some of the weakest privacy laws on earth. Your real time location data (and everything else) from phone apps is sold on a semi-open marketplace to bill collectors, marketers, spies and PI's.

This will get resolved as most things do in the US: rich people will be largely exempt while the practice will continue for everyone else.

Why is there an income ceiling on overtime in the US?

I guess this will impact some commercial real estate and yacht sales, but will have a near zero impact on the local economy. This isn't like an auto plant leaving town. This is a few dozen people who move electrons around.

Weirdly, Bigalow is also Ron DeSantis's biggest financial backer. For some odd reason, the Pentagon and certain corners of the Republican party really want you to believe in UFOs.

Most of the major cities are inundated with smoke, and almost all of the cities are flooded with people fleeing the fires. The two major interior cities are completely surrounded by fire and subject to rolling evacuations.

The entire province is on fire. It has barely rained in the southern half of the province since April. It is climate change.

This is silly. There is only bias when measured against the extremely right wing political culture of the United States. To be "unbiased" by using US political parties as the benchmark would mean being right wing in most other OEC

The thing a lot of organizations do not appreciate is the distinction between needed labour capacity versus needed daily labour output. Much like having a military or a fire department, your organization might need a lot of different people

The whole office culture thing is unnecessary and performative, and the pandemic proved it. Any productivity gain/loss is negligible for most types of white collar work. Forcing people to go back to the office is about deliberately inc

The entire Canadian media ecosystem is collapsing. This is a desperate last shot at salvaging a few newspapers. This is a rounding error of a rounding error for Meta. The Canadian media is almost universally right wing. Helping these outlet

I think this is right. It is also a tactic to increase attrition without having to announce layoffs. A big chunk of people will just move jobs instead of wasting 10-15 hrs a week to a commute.

This isn't how conflicts work. In any sort of high profile role --let alone high office-- the interests of your spouse and family are treated as your own. For the purposes of public office or even a CEO at a publicly traded company, th

It is still a conflict of interest. In most non-corrupt countries, the politician would have to disclose and recuse themselves of any decision impacting the interested party.

This court ruling seems entirely reasonable. If a trillion dollar corporation is profiting from someone spreading malicious lies about you, it seems logical that the victim has some legal recourse against both entities.
