Infotainment has been commoditized by way of Android Automotive and Carplay. The perception that there is a subscription revenue opportunity for intotainment is misguided - the TAM is insignificant, and the net loss of prospective Customers

Interesting how that phrase has largely disappeared from the current green message carried by major media. Especially the reduce component.

So the train initiated a stop, the axle broke, and they did not stop in time? Why did they initiate the stop? First I've heard of this. *Update - NTSB is saying it was bearing failure - https://www.ntsb.gov/news/pr

I would like to see Ohio law enforcement try that against ABC News, CNN, etc. (they won't) That's what makes this scary - the few independent journalists that are trying to cover this are being locked out, and the national journal

"...the outcome is what you see before you; back page/hardly any coverage a week after the incident. Nothing on the front pages a week after the incident. Barely a blurb." If they're there, whatever work they're doi

Our fearless US press is too scared to have on-site staff to cover the largest ecological land-based disaster since Three Mile Island. Or they've been told by the regime it's a non-issue? Not sure which is worse, but the outcome i

Based on my knowledge of US based urban (downtown) / suburban metro hospitals - vast majority of beds / patients aren't in ICU/CCU beds. I would say only 30% are in a critical state under observation - ICU/CCU/

With all the focus on EHR and billing, they can't have all the machines taking vitals hooked up and in a ready only state thats sent to the nursing station? This is the type of stuff I have a gripe with. Sinecure and fiefdoms of power.
