This article is very goofy. America manufactures very complicated things. Building an iPhone at scale is not complicated in the grand scheme. Building it as low cost per unit is a complicated socioeconomic question- ive seen and read enough

I flipped through the summary of that report, and I would think there is almost surely no way this is true, unless focusing on worst case assumptions like aggressive driving styles and very poorly maintained vehicles. Your conclusion that t

Sounds like they need to play along with the rules, then.

Only if they want to continue being funded to the same extent. Columbia receives more funding (% of budget and gross) than many public universities. An alternative for Columbia is to just reject federal funding and look to its endowment and

Not a battery expert but part of the challenge is too much heat in some places, not enough in others, so heat management is a big challenge, but coolant routing is complicated. The heat pump is a big deal and far more efficient (4x?) than a

Im a little confused, if I wanted to create a mix with my favorite parts of songs, is this something I can do relatively easily from Apple Music? Or do I need to get additional hardware or buy some extra software? I love a lot of jam bands,

Not to be that guy, but the pork and beef industries are well known for fearmongering around any alternative source of product, be it from Mexico, Latin America, or in this case wild boar that are literally breeding like rabbits and running

And yet, the federal government was paying for all these things, city-scale numbers of unused office space. I’ve worked on the GSA side and seen first hand.

Probably closer to 100%, in the sense that everything you read is being pushed by someone, but accurate nonetheless.

Meh. It’s provable over and over that excess government creates a charity trap for the vulnerable. it is my direct and repeated experience working with various charities, an unwillingness to leave government programs is what holds so many p

According to the article, USFS was a managerial disaster that sorely needed an overhead reduction to meet budget. Sad to see the 10% lose there jobs.

This is the ideological divide, and I voted one way, you voted the other way. The divide: you believe more taxes is the solution, despite today's taxes being hire than any point in US history. Taxes per capita have ballooned over the U

“Cut all of it” is a serious response. Yes, cut a significant percentage of government spend across the board. Reduce my taxes. Let me decide how and where to reinvest my capital and how and where to give my charity. The fact that DOGE is o

Maybe naïve, but not wrong. They have access that any American citizen should have access to, and the only authority they really have is to flag items for review. The DOGE team is sensational, but i would bet an enormous sum that Trump has

by ethagknight 2y ago
This is a very dramatic take on something you (and many others) are making extremely broad presumptions upon. It’s clear that DOGE is reviewing payment data and has the same access to various components of the US Govt that Obama’s US Digita

I dont think “but it hasn’t been outlayed yet” is an appropriate critique of something so fishy. Whether the funds were used for condom balloons or lifesaving hospital deliveries of babies, the complaint from the masses should be “give us m

Very interesting, I wasn't aware of "plug into the wall" solar provisioning solution that detects if the grid goes down, then it shuts itself down to mitigate the back-feed question, but that seems super easy. Am I right seei

Oh man I just watched that whole video. What a ride. I loved that tossing your cigs in the driveway was the correct solution, instead of dip on the front porch. Also the maid taking the service guy’s hat and coat.

This settlement is not related to the Google case. It was about personal censorship. Important to distinguish, and not misrepresent.

Seems like there is 0 harm to have a 5 minute delay on the whole broadcast in exchange for a more polished production. Me, the viewer, will never know. I know SpaceX is doing it, its trendy to 'watch us make history in realtime',

It's not a huge deal for humanity, but it's exciting for aviation enthusiasts and those studying the air travel space. To my layman's eye, they've built a civilian version of a trainer/fighter jet, now all they have

Counterpoint, I’m not convinced those companies were sufficiently punished for their past transgressions, should have ongoing levies/tariffs to repay the lend lease programs that rebuilt Europe. Attempting to draw a line between what G

Assuming it's due to Elon. Any moral qualms driving a VW, Mercedes, BMW, or Toyota? Each has taken, uh, far more aggressive actions in their respective pasts.

There were some recalls I believe that prevented them from handing over to customers at a few points in the last year. Currently the only inventory available in the markets I just checked only have 5-10 of the $100k Foundation series as ava

I dont think stainless steel rusts? wasn't the 'rust' just magnetically attracted dust? I have not been in the cybertruck interior but assume it's very similar to my Y, which I love. I've owned Lexus LX's for y
