Potentially, but those areas are also more and more getting leveraged to further identify and profile people for targeting - see the latest Discord scandal for example.

Bwahahahahahaha There is no framework, just confusing junk. At some point, it needs to actually work and….

Huh?

‘Need’ vs ‘if you’re going to redo literally everything, why not make it more modern’.

I’ve never seem any analysis of feasibility for LNG (probably what you’re referring too) vs pipeline NG for things like power plants. Do we even have sufficient liquifaction facilities for that type of volume? When I hear of that kind of t

Yes, if they weren’t redone separately. Each of them has their own lifecycles, so it’s rare they all get done at once. At that point, most people will just do a full teardown.

Why would they want to do that?

Most European housing is made of concrete, stone, or brick. It absolutely is different from typical US housing, because unless you want to run surface mount everything (which most people don’t in residential), it’s an insane amount of work

Not concrete blocks, reinforced concrete. There is a major difference. Tokyo is mostly high rises. It’s also quite expensive. Normal Japanese construction has always been wood frame.

Eh, people have a terrible time renovating or adding anything in housing in Europe. A lot of construction doesn’t have those tubes. It’s hard to articulate how wildly different habits are in Europe vs US around things like ‘what electrical

Gas turbines require infrastructure the may not exist in the area yet, and significant capital outlays. Like coal mining jobs or the like, if you’re stuck in Appalachia with 5 kids and it’s the only thing keeping you afloat, you’ll get pret

Even if it’s about a protected class, it’s rarely illegal to ask - just a terrible, lawsuit baiting, idea.

In areas where there are gas transmission lines, sure. Large portions of the country don’t have that infrastructure built out yet, but do have rail lines which provide coal. It’s also a timing/capital issue. It will change eventually,

Solar is cheap and abundant during daytime. It has zero power at night. Coal/gas/nukes are more expensive, but runs 24/7. Batteries are getting cheaper, but are still not that cheap. AI/Data centers need power 24/7.

Huh? What relevance does that have with the discussion?

Uh no? Facial recognition to names has been the bread and butter of facial recognition since the beginning. It’s literally the point.

Yup, and that ‘why doesn’t someone else do something’ while refusing to actually do the hard part themselves is exactly the greedy coward part. Which, given current incentives re: law and order does seem to be the sanest thing to do from a

This is perfect as the enemy of the good. There have been plenty of times the country has functioned extremely well with the exact same setup as it is now. The issue is everyone being greedy cowards instead of actually fighting for what mat

They (apparently) have much more efficient ways of doing this.

For most people, those same family and friends are often more of an (actual) risk than the gov’t, especially the current gov’t right now. The current gov’t is going after minorities in high profile, low effectiveness sweeps to ragebait ever

So were the folks at my local subway. All ‘essential’ meant in this context was ‘gets screwed’.

Mexico isn’t going to start a war with the US. it would last a week at most, and they’d end up glowing even more than if the us ‘downwinded’ them all year.

HR ignores (or pays attention) to these issues based on the needs of senior management. She probably was fighting something more senior execs wanted, made some bad waves, or generally outlived her usefulness, etc. so they started to pay att

Where in Europe is anyone going to make a public anti-nip slip campaign?

Eh, historically, both worse and better living conditions led to more kids. It’s not that simple.
