Meanwhile Israel has recently expressed a desire to occupy their neighbors as well as fully settling Gaza and West Bank after they are ethically cleansed. They also want to create the Ben Gurion strait to compete with the suez. Look up “Gre

They're a hardware and cloud services company. Most of the "software" are features for the hardware.

Right, in a 15m city this would be on rooftops or integrated in the agriculture.

We only have ourselves to blame (mostly due to being in the pockets of Big Oil/Coal).

Recently rented an EV (Nissan Leaf) from Enterprise - they were happy to upgrade me from my economy, but one catch - it was at 20% battery. Luckily the hotel we were staying at did have a charger (called ahead) free. Amusingly the rental p

Current stats do not predict future outcomes. Especially since the FAA and transport dept are getting more corrupt/captured as time progresses.

I love how Israel expects the US and other countries to do all the heavy lifting on a front that is actually vital for their economic needs while they're on a mission dropping a Hiroshima of bombs on their own territory.

> And America can claim it cleared the Strait. See the thing is, if shipping companies don't trust the waters they simply won't send ships there - claims don't matter one whit.

Did you hear about Operation Prosperity Guardian and its complete failure to address the situation?

You're ignoring emergent alternate modes of travel. Two big ones - electric bikes and app-based ride-sharing (Uber) would greatly benefit from a reduced sea of parking while also allowing transport. This code change will pretty much b

My facts were from various Twitter posts - I don't have them on hand but you can search fairly easily. It's pretty clear that wikipedia data doesn't cover this level of detail - but using game theory - it's pretty reaso

The “goalposts” are defined by the Houthis and unless you think they’re careless or have ulterior motives compared to their stated aim of stopping the Israeli genocide of Palestine, then there must be other reasons they have. For one I’ve h

It doesn’t matter that some ships weren’t nominally owned by Israel but in reality owned by shell corporations in turn owned by Israel-supporting billionaires.

Not to mention in traffic. Every time I'm stuck in traffic in my EV I just wonder how many gallons of gas are wasted by idling ICE vehicles.

Youtube has some videos of highway road tests at 70mph (just search "highway range test EV 70 mph") if you're curious. Actual road tests are nice because they give you a good idea of wind resistance + some elevation variance

I wrote a neural net ML app in the 90s using Delphi. VB was easier to start but Delphi was nearly as fast to build, code was compiled (fast!), Object Pascal supported OOP and the UI features like visual form inheritance I have yet to see im

Before the US it was the other colonialists (mainly the Dutch and British). And before that it was the Crusades, the story goes way back. The US, EU, etc don't have a "moral" leg to stand on when it's always a coloniali

There's diplomacy and gunboat diplomacy. US seems to always prefer the latter.

That or Saudi Arabia & Israel would have to play nice with the rest of the region. Amusing since most of the arms are from US manufacturers.

Well, to be fair, the Houthi/Yemeni raids were started as a result of the Gaza occupation by Israel, and the US's failure to prevent massive war crimes in Gaza. Their demands were simply to restore full humanitarian aid (no bombin

The Houthis are not "various armed groups", they're essentially the liberation government of Yemen. They control the capital city for example. I'm pretty sure if a ceasefire were ordered, they would be highly capable of

Privacy will be weaponized eventually and that’s a major reason shipping doesn’t have it. Houthis have a request - food/water for Gaza - but Israel says no so the rest of the world has to suffer.

Sidewalks are in fact, more dangerous. Tree roots, unseen level changes, pets, not to mention pedestrians - it's tolerable if you're a kid going 3-7 mph with training wheels but for everyone else hitting on of those obstructions

Which EV is that? I know Tesla doesn't support bidirectional and most other EVs top off at 75-80kWh.

Let's not leave Big Pharma out of this. They charge the US 2.5x compared to countries with universal healthcare [1]. Why? Because Medicare and other large population sizes here are prevented from negotiating drug prices. We also need

Ah now I see - to get all the entitlements they create a super-app that happens to use those things. Then they can spy on us for our main use case
