> Will any electric car let you drive while it's plugged in? That’s what I was wondering too. Like you, I’m pretty sure the major EVs don’t let you drive while charge, but I haven’t actually tried it.

For the ones you mention that have 22 digits, the first 8 digits (if memory serves) identify the class of mail service and other metadata. So that leaves you with 10^14 at most, assuming there’s no encoding overhead / check digits. &gt

I think the issue is that it’s no longer “recommendations”, instead it’s now “here’s the things which we can make the most money off you buying based on your recent spending”.

Amazon can’t suggest a “product you might like” if their life depended on it. They have 19 years of purchase history for me spanning thousands of product categories. Want to know a category I’ve never looked at or bought from Amazon, women&

While this annoys the hell out of me too, there is a semi-logical explanation that makes sense in many cases: The ad targeting knows you looked at washing machines, but doesn’t know you purchased.

I guess I wasn’t explicit, I meant something made in the past decade or two. Going back to 3 decades ago, there’s a handful I can think of, going back almost a half century like the 8086/88, there were even more.

I have a distinct feeling that neither of them have even the slightest clue what they are talking about. If they did understand processor design and had seen pages like this[0], they’d realize that a Goldmont cpu is not dramatically differe

Completely agree, but the point in question wasn’t if it was likely, but if it was possible at all.
