To me it means some degree of being able to continue with necessary production despite global disruptions due to political disagreement, war, disaster, etc. For example, a major push to bring more semiconductor production to the US was moti

Sure. "The definition of terrorism is controversial and political." How governments, media, etc. use that word is often politically loaded and not based on some agreed objective definition.

Right. "The definition of terrorism is controversial and political" Although I mostly recall the word "insurgent" being used for local fighters in those cases.

The definition of terrorism is controversial and political, so there isn't a hard answer. But I think a general distinction is the targeting of combatants vs civilians. There is a difference between infiltrating military or para-milita

Yeah, optimizing for economic output isn't the only factor to consider. Having some degree of geopolitical independence and leverage matters when things go off of the happy path for whatever reason.

Returning manufacturing to the US is a policy of both major parties right now.

I agree that Apple being stubborn is part of this, but also the point of the DMA / antitrust in general is that large companies that control their own markets can't do some of the same things that less influential companies in the

When the apps are shipped bundled with the OS by the same company, and use new system framework/API features that are part of the OS what is really the distinction?

Agreed. But Kanban also often incorporates some of the processes from Scrum like daily standups that aren't prescribed anywhere in Agile. Personally I find it more useful to organize things around useful product milestones that are act

Sure. I'm not saying there shouldn't be status updates. I'm just saying that those status updates aren't because they are "doing Agile." There isn't really any such thing as "doing Agile", it isn

Right, so when someone says they are doing Agile instead of Scrum but don't like it because of the invasive status meetings, they're probably actually doing some form of Scrum whether or not they realize it.

There isn't anything here about having to do daily standups: https://agilemanifesto.org https://agilemanifesto.org/principles.html It's common in corporate implementations of Agile (tm) but it isn&#x27

The current per cell is still the same. 800V charging just means that you put cells in series banks to achieve an ~800V module-level voltage. Current is reduced in the main charging cables, charge port, and pack fuse/contactor, but not

Nothing novel about this specific bit of news. Tesla funds an employee shuttle rail service to a station at their factory. That service is now using battery-electric trains which are off the shelf models from Siemens. Battery-electric passe

The "Giga train" is an off-the-shelf battery electric train that Siemens already produces. Tesla just funded their use on this shuttle line for employees of their factory.

Not really novel here. Tesla funds this employee shuttle route to their factory and it is now using off-the-shelf Siemens Miero B battery-electric trains. It's a nice service to provide, and nice that the electric car factory is served

The only real connection to Tesla is that it's a Tesla-funded employee shuttle to a station on Tesla factory property. The trains are indeed Siemens Miero B and the line is operated by Niederbarnimer Eisenbahn. https://www.r

My understanding was SpaceX were operating as an ISP in the country of Brazil, and refusing to comply with the ruling to block X.com within the country of Brazil. Is that not the case?

Our measurements of the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentration already include the effects of plants taking CO2 out of the atmosphere.

Yeah. It seems like antitrust in the US will happily let competition consolidate down to 2 or sometimes even 1 viable provider, and the only react later once evidence of consumer harm can be shown via higher prices. At that point a lot of t

And in the video the quote about keeping traffic flowing is laid over footage where the traffic is nearly stopped and creeping through the interchange.

The video shows multiple 5-level interchanges in Texas where two highways intersect along with their frontage roads, turning what would otherwise be a 4-stack into a 5-stack or 6-stack interchange.

Can you guarantee that hitting the "undock and re-enter" button right now would result in Starliner safely leaving the ISS and then clearing its orbit? Even if that had an acceptable level of risk, that still leaves two extra crew

I do not think the argument is pointless. I did not say that. I think continuing to explain the same thing to you - that OP did not say Apple laptops are the fastest or most powerful laptops - is pointless when you continue to fail to ackno

My apologies, I will no longer attempt to clarify your mis-reading of comments.

I didn’t say “axes of power” If your laptop is powerful but has poor battery life, loud fans, and overheating/throttling problems, then it’s not a good laptop for a lot of use cases. These are common complaints for workstation laptop
