Hacking a Tonie box would be so awesome

Why is this a global config — shouldn’t this be configurable per customer?

I have an Israeli friend. His answer:

This result is exactly what the anti-Israel coalition wanted. They bet Bibi would go nuts and burn up the remaining global goodwill that Israel had, leaving them isolated.

This is not factually accurate to say they own most of Google, the most I’ve seen of the two of them combined owning presently is 12%

I charge mine on a 120 V 20 amp outlet in the US that was already in my garage… And it works fine for me

Yeah, but those places don’t have 24/7 solar energy

This is not a tariff issue, unbelievably, but one about reducing competition.

I’m not sure I’m following the argument here, because tariffs are all about protectionism, which is a form of reducing external competition

Yes, but the lag time is crucial. The NY Times estimated that China has 10% the compute capacity of the US. They may catch up, but by that time the US labs could have too much of an advantage

This isn’t exactly correct. Cancer is not (typically) caused by a single DNA mutation, but multiple accumulated errors.

This may not be true in all jurisdictions

Perhaps during various east Asian famines as well..

Honestly, no. These weird states of matter have extremely different properties to ordinary matter. Weird properties is how we get things like superconductors, magnets, semiconductors, photovoltaics.. so strange state of matter with weird properties could very well produce some magic

Also net population loss of working age adults via deportation and self deportation.

The objectives are wildly different.

Vietnam is more like asking the question, could the US Military occupy all of Iran? Which I think the answer is essentially No, just like Vietnam.

The strait is one small objective , and the US had lots of successes in Vietnam with capturing key strategic areas, they just couldn’t cover that into a successful occupation

It is public opinion that is keeping the US from using boots on the ground.

The reason the US can’t take the strait is that the war is unpopular and the American people don’t want it to happen. The US military could absolutely 100% invade and take the street, but it would be extremely unpopular and very expensive.

I don’t know, the US is the world‘s largest oil producer, and there’s a lot of people in America who are very happy about the high oil prices. Doesn’t exactly trickle down to the average American though. But there are many other industries is that matter a whole lot more to the US economy, for example, if Taiwan stop selling chips to the US, we would be really screwed.

Nit-but Apple has fallen to Nvidia and Alphabet, which is a sign of the times.

The less snarky answer is that our current system does not have a functioning global government. There is no real “we”. Influencing how other countries operate can only be done by force or diplomacy, and because North Korea has nuclear weapons, force is basically off the table, and they’re not interested in diplomacy.

I went there once and someone had left a bouquet of flowers on a flavor

So true. This is an ice cream store dammit

How are rare earths used in batteries?

The simple explanation is just that lot of ways that numbers can multiply to produce the same product

Like an odd number x times an even number y, x* y produces the same product as x* 2 and y/2

Same for a multiple of 3 c and and a non multiple of 3 d, c * d = c/3 * d*3

That isn’t cruelty. It’s immigration policy that the rest of the world already has

All cars require a workforce to maintain though.

Spirit seemed to enjoy making their customers hate them. everyone who liked Spirit had to explain themselves (like you did) because their reputation was awful. It was a trainwreck of a brand.

Link?

Exposing the wealthy is pretty standard journalism

Universities

A more accurate description of code is that it’s a depreciating asset, perhaps, or an asset that requires maintenance cost. Neither of which is a liability
