Some can’t resist a uniform.
I mean, Sears built a massive business empire via mail order and shipping products, and now effectively no longer exists. Amazon directly replaced them with the same business model just digitized, despite starting as just a bookstore.
Not utilizing evolving tech that seems like an obvious match for a company is surprisingly common.
Back when I had my Tesla, Autopilot was great in bumper to bumper traffic for that exact reason. Didn’t have to focus on creeping forward 2 feet at a time, didn’t have to worry about brakes vs acceleration, just let the car inch itself along behind the car in front.
When it was totally stopped on a temporarily closed highway for an hour, Netflix was great too. And A/C without burning a ton of fuel sitting there.
One step at a time. Support for an entire manufacturer’s line, not just a couple hardware configurations is a massive step already for a distro that was originally designed for specific hardware.
It’s not even that. Data companies sell your information on an open market. The government can just buy it.
I’m interested in joining this Torment Nexus. It sounds like a great opportunity and a perfect match for my extensive skill set. Where can I apply?
I feel like it’s important to point out how inefficient an ICE engine is at turning that energy into useful movement however. There is a ton of stored energy in fuel, and very little of it is actually converted to useful energy.
The peak of internal combustion efficiency is only about 50% in ideal conditions, in a purpose-built engine. Your everyday commuter in real world conditions is going to be more in the 20% range. And that’s likely to drop as it ages and isn’t maintained absolutely perfectly.
So while a ton of energy is moving in that fuel up, little of it will ever be used. Especially when compared to an EV’s real world efficiency being around 80-85%.
I mean… It’s in Israel. Who else are you gonna realistically hire?
The chances of a solar particle hitting your RAM and causing a bit to flip are tremendously unlikely as well, but there’s hardware made to prevent that from happening (I realize ECC does more than that).
One might argue that the alcohol is needed for some people to deal with the fact they have little direct control over the bigger issues.
A lot of industrial and commercial hardware using Windows was abandoned by the manufacturer decades ago. There is a lot of hardware that still needs Windows XP to control, some even stuck on Windows 98. As aging hardware breaks it is becoming harder to find replacements. For a lot of this, the software to run it is so focused that emulation layers cause issues.
For many people, yes this is a surprise. Nothing is an issue or a big deal until it adversely affects them. Even when that exact scenario has happened and even been widely in the news before.
So he’s a CEO? That’s basically every CEO in the US. Not sure why they expect any different.
That’s just because there are more of them, and people read headlines with Tesla mentioned. There is a bias…
IHS Markit data shows that EVs, back to the Nissan Leaf in 2011, accounted for 1.9% of the 291 million vehicles on the road across the U.S. at the end of 2025. Of those, 43.9% of EVs on the road were Tesla. The second closest manufacturer was Chevrolet at 7.6% and Ford rounding out the top 3 with 7% market share.
On a similar note… Remember the negativity about the Chevy Bolt when they were spontaneously combusting? When parking garages were banning them? When Chevy recommended you park 150+ feet away from your home for safety?
Or all the hubbub about the Samsung Note 7 battery recall? Where it was an insanely small number of manufactured devices, and by the end all like 30 of them had exploded already?
People are dogshit at understanding statistics, especially at scale, and the media has no incentive for actually educating.
With fizzy drinks I found it very easy to shift towards flavored seltzers instead of it’s the fizz specifically. And if it’s sodas… Zero sugar soda tastes 99% the same as regular due to the mix of multiple sweeteners. Totally different from diet sodas which usually just use one or two, usually aspartame which also has a strong aftertaste.
If possible for chocolate, higher quality products often will hit that craving better than the cheap candy bar type stuff with 5x the amount of sugar.
Only because it was created back in 2003. 23 years of legacy hardware will give you an advantage.
Otherwise it is inferior in every way.
I’d say it depends on if you’re using the missiles effectively.
Targeting elementary schools because the hallucination machine you decided to give command and control authorization told you to, is not effective use.
Yup. Many Nazi scientists only cared about the research. A lot of medical and physics breakthroughs last century directly resulted from those experiments.
