I don't see how the US can compete with China on sheer production and access to manufacturers and suppliers of tech, compared to cities like Shanghai, Qingdao and Shenzhen, among others. It's like a candy store for engineers. Building a single plant just isn't economically feasible when you have so much uncertainty from the chaos at the WH. Not to mention, this will take a decade or much, much more.
A better way (IMO) to do it would have been tax incentives to build US plants to move manufacturing back in the US, have research university programs as feeders for tech innovation centers, and funding for technical colleges to expand their programs for skilled labor needed instead of gutting multiple agencies that would have overseen/guided this expansion. And oversight, of course. And attainable goals set in contracts to receive funding, not just, "here's a pile of money we'll forget about in 4 years."
Shhh! Do you want to kill AI? All the C-suite and middle management need to hear is that "My QoL has never been better since I could use AI at work! Now I can 'quiet quit' half the day away! I can see my family after hours! Or even have a second job!"
Once 23andMe gets sold, all of that data belongs to whoever owns it and they can sell it to whoever they want. Perhaps to the government where they can do a warrantless search to find a relative of someone who may have been at a crime scene. Or to other governments. Or to insurance companies who want to play deny, defend and depose. I get that a lot of genetic information isn't predictive, but not all of it is so questionable.
I'm really not. The government consists of many people with a range of ideologies and ethics. Are there problems? Of course. But, the government has checks and balances, well, HAD checks and balances, separation of powers, and a Constitution that limited those powers. I'm more afraid of the corruption of the SCOTUS with dark money and a religio-fascist movement of persuasion and influence toward members of the SCOTUS, Congress, Judiciary and the Executive. It is a handful of billionaires who are driving this race toward authoritarianism.
The difference is that there are culturally inappropriate things to say--that is, things that people who aren't completely toxic bigots generally agree you shouldn't yell in public, and then there are things ON THE LIST the right wing government fascists are going to kick your door down for uttering to two people online.
What most people mean by gravel road is macadamized road, which is a gravel/aggregate material bound in crowned layers from larger rocks to smaller on top often by a tar or asphalt binder or at least through compaction. There are true gravel roads in some rural areas, but, thankfully, I've rarely encountered them.
My neighbor had work done on their roof, the company doing the work ran a rolling magnet over my property (driveway) along where the work was being done and the neighbor's property with a rolling magnet. It should be SOP to do this regularly whenever construction is done.
Obesity leads to diabetes, fatty liver disease, various cancers and other problems. It's shortsighted to not cover drugs that can actually reduce it, but if the actuarial tables are silent on the matter or actually support obesity leading to lower payouts from increased mortality, then that's exactly what the insurance companies are gonna do.
Our insurance just started covering Ozempic for weight loss, but they will only supply it via their online pharmacy for diabetes. If you are prescribed it for weight loss, you have to find it retail and pay a $200 copay. But at least it's for branded Ozempic, not grey market compounded meds. Mounjaro is the better product if you need for both weight loss and diabetes, but the supply on that is even worse than for Ozempic.
Yeah, gotta love the modern conveniences of fobbing your customers off to automated hell. Reminds me of my experience buying something on eBay without creating an account, having a problem with the item and no way to contact the company other than creating an eBay account and reaching out to the seller. Well, that went well as I was instantly blocked, terminated and told to never return. All I did was contact the seller with my order number, as presented by eBay, through eBay. The customer service drone was very unhelpful. Hope the OP has better luck with Google.
You would think for a 30% cut of all your [insert eStore name]-related business, it would include at least basic developer support explaining their decisions.
Isn't it a moot point anyway? The corrupt SCOTUS tossed out the Chevron doctrine, putting into question the "constitutionality" of administrative enforcement of Executive Branch agency rules and enforcement of federal law.
You know the White House isn't personally building these charging stations, yes? The money is available and awarded to state entities that have to approve and bid out contracts, which come with their own set of local legislation that slow down the process. The Biden administration claims the process will advance faster now that states are enacting their own legislation and rules regarding charging stations. And you can guess that some states, operating on partisan lines, might not want to do anything that benefits the Biden administration--why care about their constituents' interest in the future when you can deny the opposition a win now?
Testing for marijuana does not provide accurate data with respect to when it was consumed. It could have been a factor in the crash, or it could have been consumed days to weeks in the past, as the study author states: “Our testing methods for cannabis remain suboptimal and individuals can test positive for cannabis weeks after they have consumed it.”
For several years, beverage companies have been complaining about CO2 supply being low. During the pandemic, I switched to a SodaStream, converted it to use a 10 pound CO2 tank and started buying the syrup for my preferred soft drink. It allowed me to increase the CO2 level of my drink while, over time, cutting the amount of syrup used by 80% (and greatly decreasing my sugar intake per day). It's pretty much lightly flavored sparkling water now.
Those "health sharing ministries" are a complete scam. They take your money and provide you nothing. Sort of like church and the donation plate, only they purport to provide a genuine service in the health care field.
Here, you have good advice: "I ... consider regex expressions as the wrong solution. They're notoriously hard to get right."
However, the conclusion of "use something somebody else wrote that does it properly", while valid, is asking a lot. As regex is hard to get right, don't assume the code you find on the web or book or via some other means works correctly.
My rule is if I didn't write it and can't wrap my head around the code to convince myself it is the right solution, I don't use it. And as I think others have written, there are some interactive online tests for regex expressions that can help.
That is not minimizing. Minimizing from a psychological perspective is to present an event that has occurred as unimportant or insignificant. Had the OP said "suburbanites have nothing to worry about if they are targeted in a home invasion" would be an example of minimizing. The rising fear about crime in general, or home invasion in particular, is a disconnect from the actual risk of either happening to oneself. Violent crime overall is somewhere south of 25 incidents per 1,000. That's 2.5%. Which is 2-3x less than it was 30 or 40 years ago. Increased visibility in the media along with influence peddlers in social media whip up fear and neuroses for more clicks/income that make things appear worse than they ever have been. Which tends to lead people to believe the false narrative that "life was better when I was a (much more uninformed) child/young adult."
Have you tried fresh halibut? I don't like fish generally, including salmon, but actual Alaskan halibut (not flounder deliberately mislabeled as halibut) is quite tasty, to me.
How does that one guy in a tractor or that one guy watching the machines get paid when no one has a job to buy food, widgets, health care, et cetera? A sudden disruption like AI is purported to potentially cause is a recipe for total societal collapse.
A large chunk of cost is drilling the holes for the loop. New, compact drilling rigs that use 10' drill sections are a good deal cheaper to run labor-wise and require less space to maneuver. Costs will come down as more companies switch to these rigs.
Why do people need to return to the office? I have Teams, Zoom, email, Slack, and a cellphone. I also don't have an hour commute each way. I've gotten more done "at work" at home than I ever did in the office. Meetings are now as long as they need to be, not the full 1-2 hours scheduled whether we need it or not. While the opportunities for chit-chat and out-of-band conversations are not as spontaneous, using all the tools we have for communications can be just as impactful for one's mental health.
If only this were a law. I can't stand when sites play "hide the scrollbar" or "find the hover sweet spot to display the scrollbar" and I click on where I think the scrollbar is and instead click on a link that's was two pixels away from where I thought I was clicking. How is this accessible? Edit: How does this improve the user experience?
Also, tragically, people go to college wanting to get into law enforcement are working at cross purposes to what police departments want to hire: less intelligent cops.

It's used in fire spread prediction models and land use/urban growth models among other things.
SLEUTH is one such model adapted from a fire spread prediction model. We used it in modeling urban growth in the NYC region 2 decades ago, so it might not be the latest and greatest CA out there for urban growth. We calibrated the model on 1930 - 1980 data and validated it on 1990 and 2000 data, projecting into the 2050s for A/B scenario growth in the IPCC report of the period.
'Tis a bit of a silly article, I'd go insane trying to keep my application windows in the sweet spot for viewing them at a 22 degree rotation. One thing strikes me that I've wondered about when I would rotate some of my monitors: the color shift/viewing angle issue. I can understand in older monitors that have different viewing angles for horizontal and vertical, but some of my monitors over the years have been 176 degrees H + V or 178 degrees H + V, so why is there such a marked difference in what is being displayed when it is at 0 degrees rotation vs 90 degrees rotation?
