I thought we decided FAANGM was better as FAGMAN.

Would meteorologists be writing that stuff or just using it? I would have thought using, but not programming.

I’m interested but don’t know enough to understand that answer.

I would have thought you need a bunch of fancy software for meteorology (expecting on windows).

Freight trains are diesel electric.

I think in certain areas for your EV you want a gas powered heater for the battery and cabin. That’s how I think EV transit buses should do it too.

It advanced at a glacier pace because there was no massive driving force. It only kicked off a bit with cell phones and then in any substantial way with laptops. (Yes, batteries existed before that for different things, but there was no massive driving force.) Now imagine what would have happened if we funded it starting in the 1970s.

It’s incredible how certain people are conditioned to think the sound of a gas motor and shifting because your puny motor is out of optimal torque and rpm range are manly.

Long term we’ll get lighter batteries.

The motors have never been the problem, it’s always been the battery. See train engines, they are a diesel generator with electric motors.

This is where history pisses me off. We should have been headlong into battery research after the oil embargoes. Could have been 40 years faster.

Nah even on desktop it’s clunky.

Every now and then I get a forum as a search result and they’re just so clunky. Replies are spaced out too much, no chains, everyone has a long winded signature phrase. I’m glad it went to this kind of format.

Drone maker DJI is based in China and controls over 70% of the world’s drone market share, a combination that threatens U.S. lawmakers. As we first reported in April, 6% of DJI stock lies in the hands of Chinese state-owned businesses, which has led to fears of Chinese government backdoors, national security risks, and other fears of Chinese surveillance using the company’s drones.

Elise Stefanik, the Republican representative from New York who sponsors the anti-DJI legislation, said of the drones, “DJI presents an unacceptable national security risk, and it is past time that drones made by Communist China are removed from America.” Of course, this unacceptable risk h

Who else turned their phone upside down to check the box?

Easter egg could have been “cocoa encapsulated fructose ordnances?”

“No one is allowed to deviate at all in the slightest bit ever, to the obvious bigger topic!!!”

The topic of oversized vehicles is not limited to trucks.

They stopped making Honda Fits (in North America) because there was no demand.

Different crash standards in US and Europe. Most companies don’t even bother getting cars tested (designed?) in both because the market demands are so different.

Don’t think it’s about privacy. It’s about that he wants money from openai because he tried to buy them out or something, or was involved a long time ago, or tried to get involved, or whatever, but he thinks he should have a big payday from it now that its stock is up.

you don’t get a “you are here”

Yeah, that’s my whole point.
