an old account I can't log into versus multiple accounts across laptop/desktop/phone is not really a play.

I don't really care to recover my older account on my MBP with a dead logic board. Do you want me to recover a really old account for a measurement-contest

This is the same as Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc. taking something down for "hate speech" or "community guidelines". OP reported my original comment the same way Paramount removed content. Bit of a double-standard. I advocate for torrent, to believe in a large corporation to up-hold content (like a comment on the internet, or a TV series) who is surprised it moved to a paid streaming service.

Comment is also a bit misleading. Costco contracts all of their products, or for a better on-topic example - their air conditioning installation.

It's the same with Home Depot. They don't "make" anything, they contract everything out (Home Depot-line tools, i.e. Ryobi, their flooring installations to some of the cheapest local installers, etc.).

He's already beat out in their market, not much leverage there lol.

They must fight the social-justice war on all fronts.

China's satellites (Jilin-1, etc.) can essentially track things across the world in seconds versus minutes (i.e. it can follow a plane, or car on the street in real-time). So I'm guessing "radio silence" does not affect much locational opsec at this point.

Yes they did.

This article is a fancy way of saying "we take keywords and break them down to synonyms", bundling "machine learning", and acting like it's a magical solution. Not to be dreary it's just not exciting.

"slander, libel, abusive content" is a slope we've all seen slipped on. People in power use it to censor views they don't like.

Absolutely insane comment and can't believe this is allowed here.

"There aren't significant differences between a V-2, AIM-120 AMRAAM, Minuteman, Patriot, Tomahawk, Saturn V, Delta IV, Falcon 9, et al.."

I didn't think news.ycombinator.com catered to misinformation. I'm guessing your PhD is in Aerospace Engineering?

"wristbands assigned to seats and a 5G/IOT"

Not sure what a "5G/IOT network" is, nor what vaporware claims "wristbands assigned to seats".

You're going to the very extreme end of what he meant by "loose"...

Texas produces more than twice the amount of energy than any other state. While Texas leads in energy consumption, the state also has the largest amount of surplus energy produced after consumption.

Hahahaha, okay. I'm in Texas now. I use a ridiculous amount of power to be honest mining in my single family home with A/C running all summer & heatpump during the winter. Care to explain? I've had more expensive bills in San Franciso, Alameda county just heating my home with way more temperate weather. I can provide actual data if you want. Outages? I've had more brown-outs & black-outs in California... the power system there is trash. I lived there for 30+ years LOL. I'de love to know the lore of your perception of the California power system... It's a monopoly. It's 3x more expensive. It's above-ground and caused the most damaging wildfire in California history. What am I missing? Have you lived there for so little-long?

That leaves me to my original question. How much 2000kWh cost in California again?

Spent many decades in California...

Somehow 100% renewable but the most expensive electric I've ever paid for. How much does 2000kWh cost again?

Also, the most prone to fire-hazard because of above-ground electric. Remember when PG&E caused the most destructive wildfire in California history?

Weird rub-it-out article IMO most likely paid for by some PAC. With all the money pumped into California power projects, it never equaled lower power prices, reliability, or safety...

It's not that deep.

Meta is experiencing downtime / routing issues in general. Reels on IG is broken atm.

"The eventual launch of V4 Superchargers should enable 800V charging at speeds up to 350 kW. But your guess is as good as ours as to when we will see these units at our local Superchargers."

Damn, sounds like Kia should uh... build a charging network then. lol.

Not to undermine what he did. The US prison system just seems very unproductive, put him in a factory for 20 of those years.

The US prison sentence lengths are insane.

What's up with the absolute smear campaign against Boeing, does somebody have big Puts calls on their stock?

The plane in question is 25~ years old, and it's on the airlines to do the maintenance checks... this isn't Boeing's fault lol - unless this was a brand-spanking new plane. Also, this type of stuff happens daily, on all plane manufacturers.

Straight smear campaign running right now.

"Covert propaganda campaigns were common during the Cold War, when the CIA planted 80 to 90 articles a day in an effort to undermine the Soviet Union, Johnson said."

So like today's main stream media trying to divide the US? :)

Forty-seven officers were shot and killed in the line of duty in 2023. That's about 1 a week.

You can't fight a radical with logic.

SERIOUS THREAT.

Vice got popular from very early internet videos before YouTube and TikTok kicked off, then it got indoctrinated by political ideas and everybody saw it. It turned trash. What are you on about lol.

A woman in a random country: Can I wear shorts outside? Their AI: no.
