That’s fine, I’m over here eating popcorn, watching all the drama……
Luckily I’m not likely to need any laptop, phone, tablet. game console, car, tv, etc any time soon. All my higher end devices are good for a few years until the bubble bursts.
That being said, my hobbies tend to be in low end devices. We know raspberry pi’s are now expensive and likely to get worse, but I wonder how it will effect the tiny bit of old technology memory in things like “smart switches” and sensors
For sure the ridiculous us money for little benefit to us citizens at high us consumer cost is ridiculous. But that doesn’t change the fact that there’s been a lot of medical r&d benefitting all our lives. We want that to continue and the us should prefer that it be here
But the thing is it’s across all science and technology. US has benefitted from brain drain from other parts of the world, some of the best scientists coming here for the best rewards. That’s a good thing (for the US).
Reversing that brain drain is a bad thing (for the US) and this is a scenario where a very few individals can make a huge difference. If we don’t have a critical mass of researchers to become a desirable destination and we don’t have research opportunities, and yes if we don’t have opportunities for rewards, the brain drain flows the other way. That’s great for the countries retaining more of their top researchers, but bad for the US, bad for the researchers if there are less rewards and bad for everyone if it results in less opportunity. and this is a people thing so an individual staying away affects other individuals and new researchers see which way the brains are draining and a poor reputation for supporting science and research may not be overcome in these peoples lives
Out of all the things Trump continues doing to destroy our place in the world, undermine our values , this is one that may never come back
But will they fund upgrades to the electrical system?
I try to visit much every year or two and it can be anything I’m bit indoorsy. Let’s start with walking everywhere. I’m not sure you have to even go farther: because if walking everywhere I’m outdoors and physically active far more than when I’m home.
Then you have all the parks and walks …… my kids Scout troop did a campout in NYC! They found a campground on Staten Island, took the ferry in, and did their hike up the west side of manhattan!
A while back I went to my high school reunion and met up with the guy who had been my best friend. He admitted to having never been more than 50 miles from where he was born …. And was exactly the same as in high school. No growth, no personal development. I had moved to a large city, which was totally alien and frightening.
Obviously there are degrees and most people aren’t this bad, but visiting other places and other people can really open your eyes. I don’t know if lack of travel is cause or effect but it really seems like people who have never been anywhere tend to be very small minded, have a very narrow view of people and the world.
Just watch it on my phone or other device. My big tv gets so little use these days that I don’t know if I’d replace it if it dies
Or …. The extra electricity needed for EVs is zero or maybe even negative. Except for batteries, power is not dispatchable. Power plants can’t react to the amount of power needed at any time and they get inefficient trying. If we had a way to charge when supply is greater than demand, we can not only make use of previously wasted power but even make power plants more efficient by giving them steadier demand
Actual relationship? That was a real soap opera. On one hand it was toxic because she was cheating on her boyfriend, my friend, and I never objected. On the other hand, wow, what an experience! I’ll never forget and never stop looking for similar.
As one example, she liked being on top but somehow trained my body to keep going as long as she wanted then a quick nipple twist to make me come on demand. It was so weird because it surprised me every time.
We used to go out skinny dipping but she had never learned to swim. But she had no fear: she’d have me swim out into the deep water while she was hanging on, molesting me.
Yeah, they expected to be in jail long before this, so they couldn’t be corrupt
Seriously, I’d tune in. We have protocols “for Sox compliance”, but I’ve never been privy to an audit so have no idea if they’re effective.
As a DevSecOps professional, I may have opportunities to make compliance easier or more effective, if I knew how they worked or had any feedback
Edit: I love the idea of ComplianceAsCode mentioned here, and hadn’t read of it before but it looks all about infrastructure while I’m all about product builds
Of course, the problem is transit, not the criminals nor the society that increases desperation and gives desperate people nowhere to turn
Plus all the time loading and unloading. A few tens of seconds per stop over the length of the route adds up
The article seems needlessly negative. We see evidence of air pollution improvements: take the win.
It’s also good to know where things get worse: sure, next step is to try to improve tire particle pollution. However, even assuming it is worse than for ice cars, that in itself is not reason to worry. People are concerned about the extra weight, but there’s every possibility the weight comes down as technology improves. We may not have to worry about that aspect. We’d do better to worry about tire particle pollution as a whole, and do something about that
For exactly the reason that one person is doing it. There’s not really a thing but one interesting character is mildly entertaining while not impeding readability or require learning historical lettering
Thank you. Infinite pagers are such poor usability, just all around annoying. I really don’t understand why people want them unless it’s developers saying “this is cool”
This is really not inevitable, and policy is a huge part of it. I do believe Biden is a poor example here, because that approach to rebuilding manufacturing was to actually invest in it. Especially investing in forward looking technologies. Especially trying to establish longer term consistent policies, especially trying to connect with reality and science
Trying to force a return to “the good old days”, starting trade wars with every one, terrorizing large segments of workers, flip flopping policies for personal gain, isolationism, trying to protect old technologies/manufacturers from competition will never work. This is hugely more self-destructive than hands off
That’s great
Let them. How is this not huge free publicity!
The shovel makers and shovel sellers always get rich in a gold rush
