It wasn't? The majority of that inflation, certainly in the EU, was energy and profit taking in uncompetitive markets, the result of decades of failed anti-trust? This stuff is researched these days, we don't need to repeat 1930s

No, because it can absolutely not end up being that? 2 crashes is already a massive number, who is going to go back and make them disappear?

It's going to the FCC, of course. If they ever solved robocalls, what would be there for them to do? Literally, this agency has been trying to solve spam calls for half a century now. They are the most incompetent people in history.

People interested in and passionate about transportation in cities have long been warning that it doesn't solve anything if you just replace every combustion engine car with a (likely bigger) electric car, and incentives for them are

Their exact position in space can be calculated very precisely. The Starlink terminals do this as well.

I remember when they bought a smart glasses company then refunded every buyer ever the full retail price. There hasn’t been an Intel acquisition that has worked out in some 20 years now it seems. Just utterly unserious people.

Did you know the IBM cloud is the biggest in the world? Public companies can structure their business however they prefer. If the story needs to be that Cloud is growing and profitable on a numbers sheet, you need no more than the finance

All cities will forever have "bad traffic". Car transport capacity is plain abysmal.

This is the same government that was just months prior going to quit the ICC so they could host Putin. They have no credibility, and frankly, no fucking power for most of the day. Utterly failed state.

To be fair ELF is complex mostly because of relocations, which are not purely to support shared libraries but also the nowadays ubiquitous PIE. But GPU drivers is a good point; I don't believe you can even statically link them today, y

By this logic I should be driving a tank into Polish Silesia. But no, some 20yo in Gaza is not a refugee of a war lost shortly after WW2.

Nothing quite says "high trust ecosystem" as when the people charging you 30% also make a buck on top from competitors putting their app in front of customers looking for your app by name.

There is (was?) no mechanism for JIT, so even if there was a working local build, it wouldn't be a competitive browser engine.

I must have missed this section in the DMA! All I want is a F-Droid-esque store with sane apps. You know, open source apps, centrally built. No in-app-purchases and Chinese geotracking framework for something that is 25 lines of code to tal

With Chinese-made electric cars shipping all over the world, it feels like we are well into the end stages of shanzai.

This is such incredible hyperbole, you haven't even realized Loran-C is long gone, not that any cars ever used it.

Yes, and clearly if an asteroid hits the world, we will not have to worry about speed limits at all! We should skip doing the work. As usual, don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. We have scooters that limit their speed in ped

All road restrictions are modeled around power. Crashes occur reliably when you mix vehicles with disparate power. There is simply no reason electric bikes should have the continuous power of two world class pro cyclists in one. It's n

It's a nice idea but not really appropriate to have people jet up trails at 1000W for minutes while having none of the handling skills to go with it. Stuff is designed for human abilities, keep the motorcycles out of it. If the things

Streets haven't gotten wider since then either. Maybe less of a problem in the US where everything is planned around humongous fire trucks, but in the EU if you had a street that could easily accommodate two moving lanes with parking o

I think it's great if we have a treatment for obesity, but can we maybe actually certify & test it for that purpose first instead of this off-label thing it seems to be?

But the per-watt performance of these chips is usually terrible, made as they are on older silicon processes. Any recent-ish laptop CPU will have no problem beating them.

But it was Fujitsu staff acting as witnesses in trials.

But it doesn’t. That’s the whole point.

Oh sweet summer child. New York City has tons of ALPRs and cameras of all kinds, but it also has an epidemic of unsolved hit and runs, unlicensed drivers and a police force where a large proportion of cops will deface and mangle the license

Why would the cybersecurity freak out at that, that seems opposite. The company owning the data (and controls!) is much more of a risk.

That seems impossible to determine. AWS retail charges for things that have an impossible relation to actual costs (think traffic) to begin with.

There isn't even a fine here. The post office is owned by the government, and practically insolvent as it is. The claims against Fujitsu are theoretical and might already be too old.
