But this article is not talking about brownouts this is talking about routine use.

In California, the illegal marijuana market continues to thrive because of the taxes and regulation.

Worth noting that Football is a legal cartel, explicitly excluded from antitrust law. You can't really extrapolate much from it as an example.

Google cloud is a distant third in the cloud space. So claiming they are a monopoly is frankly pretty ridiculous.

In retrospect there's no doubt the evacuation was an overreaction. Of course, in the moment, it's a harder decision since you have to act on incomplete information.

This works in a totally different way, by heating a tiny target fuel pellet with a laser to cause it to collapse and trigger fusion through basically heating and squeezing: more like how a bomb works. It's not easy to see a direct path from this approach to a power plant, but it might involve lining up a steady stream of fuel targets and doing this in a sort of pulsed mode.

Other approaches attempt to create a continuous plasma where fusion can occur confined in a powerful magnetic field, and heated by radio waves to get it going. So there's always fusion happening rather than in short bursts.

You're assuming something like 24 hours a day of having the car parked in full sunlight, which is not realistic (even ignoring that night exists). For it to make sense, you'd need the solar arrays on the car to provide a reasonable percentage of the energy needed during driving. If this isn't the case, you're way better off putting the solar panels somewhere other than the car (where they can work much better), and charging the car when it's not driving.

Trump would often get things right but for the wrong reasons. I call this the "Donald Trump stopped clock principle"

Even converting the whole surface of the car to ideal 100% efficient solar cells world be nowhere close to enough, unfortunately.

Cooling is actually a big problem in space.

It wasn't that long ago that I was hearing about how audits were impossible at the Pentagon and they would just give up whenever it was attempted. This sounds like progress.

Defining what is really good and bad is a very hard thing to do, and has been the subject of philosophical debate for millennia. It gets really hard when we try to construct a reasonable logical foundation for ethics, but then we always check it by comparing it to the intuitive ethics in our evolved/cultured meat brains. Of course, the intuitive ethics always "wins" and we conclude that the problem must not be there, but any conflicts must be problems with the ethical framework!

So you can conclude that you should just do whatever makes you feel good and all ethics are nonsense as you seem to prefer, but I'm not sure that you've really refuted the basic premise that you should try to maximize the amount of good you can accomplish.

Linked lists are great. But they have the problem that, almost always, whatever problem you're trying to solve would be better done with a regular resizable vector.

This includes problems that they should be great for, like insert into the middle or the front.

The reason is that in practice the way computers actually work is that there is an enormous time penalty for jumping around randomly in memory, and it's large enough that it's often worth paying a O(lg n) cost to switch to something that will be contiguous in memory and allow the CPU to prefetch data.

There are exceptions when you really should use an actual linked list, but your default should be a vector and not a linked list.

Lago is AGPL so no go.

Google does not collect any information through Chrome though in incognito mode. Google can see your activity if you visit Google in an incognito window, but any web site can.

No the altimeters are sensitive to frequencies outside their band. So 5g transmitting inside its band causes the altimeter to malfunction.

PPP loans were always supposed to be forgiven from the beginning. Nobody would have taken the loans otherwise. It was not really a loan it was a payroll subsidy to keep the economy from collapsing.

Also, this was actually authorized by Congress and not declared by fiat in an enormous executive overreach.

The experience is as if you're looking directly at a person sitting across from you. There is no camera offset.

I've personally tried a prototype and it's actually pretty impressive. You get a fully-3D life-size person sitting across from you. The rendering is not 100% perfect, but it's close enough that you're not in any sort of uncanny valley. The main problem is that it's really a 1:1 thing.

It's the last one. It's just very poorly drafted legislation that hasn't been thought through. this is our one party rule in action. With no meaningful opposition, laws are not scrutinized and unintended consequences never considered.

This action has one major thing going for it that many executive actions lately have not had: it's actually legal for the President to do this.

I think consumer smart locks still let you use the regular lock if the power is out.

Avoiding the need to wait 26 months between launch windows certainly reduces the degree of difficulty. Going from "oh we wish we had X that we didn't think of" to having it is literally almost 3 years on Mars.

Borg is not used for gcp vms, though.

Don't see the Biden logo, but I happen to be traveling in France and the top result is perhaps even worse: https://imgur.com/a/SdCrl8G

Crypto scam spam

Those funds have higher costs. If you want to do that (and it's a good idea) look at the portfolio allocation and then buy the ETF version of the underlying assets.

For me iPhone UX is confusing and inconvenient. There are a million shitty decisions embedded in the interface.

I would say gmail is the most bloated SPA pretty much in existence much less at Google.

They've specifically pulled out only the categories that have risen faster than inflation, and didn't include any categories that have fallen relative to inflation. So it's guaranteed to get this result.
