I used to like it when I didn't live in the Bay and avoided all the "local news" threads because it was not interesting to me. I kinda left after I moved because I don't wanna be in a site where the consensus solution to

Yeah the US surprisingly sees things as a national security issue only when they don't interfere with corporations profiting, and fuck it if they make stuff more expensive for the dying middle class.

They don't want to deal with up to three companies being liable if a battery explodes or catches fire. It's not easy to legislate. EV charging is already challenging enough.

Well but the other brands are even worse. Have you ever designed or worked with something with a battery? It's a big liability if the thing catches fire or explodes or doesn't charge up to full performance and it's not easy t

While not universal if you stay within Ryobi there's good compatibility among products.

I think before that you need to get all the fake journalists that just get payed by companies to review their products and say it's awesome for the price. Substack doesn't have those yet.

If China wants the semiconductor factories producing magic 5nm chips they can't bomb much of the country or fuck with the middle class that much by making the country shitty. Of course if they just want to destroy Apple and NVIDIA and

I am all for the AI debate, but it being the first time technologists that are already in their 50s or older and/or billionaires or with vast generational wealth is something I find monumentally suspicious. - Big tech monopolizing the

I agree with your comment but if you think banning TikTok is about stopping China's psyops you are not paying attention. This is protectionism for the US social media industry. Removing American made content from TikTok will also make

Conservatives where saying Netflix was doing this when they released that weird show about girls that were dressed up very suggestively on their platform. We probably went through the same for broadcast TV, cable, video stores, etc, etc...

There's going to be a lot of jobs for developers when they start embedding ads into the solar panels and need to optimize distribution and engagement.

I don't think gait analysis would hold itself through a trial or be bought by a jury. Maybe to correlate different videos of possibly different suspects? But if you are getting regularly videoed by security cameras while circumventing

He bought a house for his parents with the money from his allegedly-very-fraudulent business and is now living there. I think part of his bail money is also from a mortgage on said house.

Maybe there was in 2003 when a quick search says they last amended the regulations, up from 30 minutes that were deemed insufficient? Changing that regulation probably has incredible cost as the certification process for stuff on airplanes

I would consider taking a pay cut and moving to a cheap suburb and work for the government or a bank before working for a big tech company that uses Teams. I would only use Teams on a small group or some kind of very highly paid consultant

It's really hard (maybe impossible) to completely stop speculation on land while at the same time being sure you can estimate your living expenses very long term when you buy a house (or rent, if there's rent control). If you thin

Around California cities which is where this discussion is relevant, everyone already votes Democrat. The thing is which Democrat. So, it's a little bit of this, a little bit of that regarding gerrymandering. For example the article ta

It could also be said that the cost of compliance and the cost coming from the litigiousness of American consumers shouldn't be subsidized by countries where selling an app is monumentally easiest and cheaper.

I don't think the subs hanging from the ceiling on the hallway in front of the bar are COTS. If they are it's not on their websites or catalogues. Like it may be the same cone but it's not the same enclosure or anchoring.

You can get a similar effect with a floating or semi-floating floor and a huge sub hanging from the ceiling. You have to tune it though. If you are on the Bay Area, The Great Northern had a setup like that on the hallway at the entrance bef
