There, FIFY.
It's illegal in Europe to work people like people are worked in the US. That's why Americans are worked so much harder than Europeans.

Do these chemicals pose an actual, realized risk? Or do they only present risk on models or in lab environments, and they're extrapolating?
How many annual deaths can be directly attributed to these chemicals - as in, these chemicals were the root cause of death?
It's not all that hard to make your household Zero-Waste. If you feel that badly about landfill methane, then make your household Zero-Waste and stop contributing to the problem.
All those are true, but I am disappointed that you didn't even mention that 90% of drivers are nose-down in their phone and not even noticing that they're running down kids on bikes.
These chatbots aren't stupid. They're selling the products that Amazon et al want to sell you. You were offered short fingered cycling gloves because the manufacturer paid Amazon to sell them to you.
False. Large datacenters and distributed virtualization platforms modulate cycle availability to maintain relatively constant power consumption. Lower priority tasks are often paused, or given higher priority, depending upon the overall power load.
There is a lot of science thrown at load modulation because of the way power is billed. For commercial and industrial customers, electricity is billed based on both average and peak demand, and the latter is tremendously more expensive than the former, so it is important to keep peak demand low.
Incidentally, this is why EV charging networks will all fail eventually, because they will never turn a profit. I'll give you one example: an EV charger on Dominion Energy in Virginia... a single 75kWh charging session at 150kW will cost the EV charging company approximately $26,800 in peak demand for that billing cycle, and generate approximately $35 in top-line revenue.
So, you can bet your ass that datacenters are going to deploy whatever means are necessary to manage their peak demand, including priority modulation.
I know we can't depend on the MAGA congress to do shit right now, but once the US is over its fascination with right-wing fascism, maybe they can get around to passing a law forbidding the exportation of data outside the US without user consent on an opt-in basis...
Right, but it is not for the sensationalist "micro plastics get into everything" claim. It's because the method and procedure were faulty. They are drawing a specious conclusion to further their political agenda against the oil industry.
Vizio and TCL TVs sold at Walmart have been known for years to be "always listening" for voice commands and offloading "voice recognition processing" to remote servers in China. Walmart makes more money selling that data than it does selling the TV.
Yep. I was an ING customer back in the 90s and after the Capital One merger, nothing bad happened at all, and I still have my NetValue Checking account.
I have a bunch of Amcrest cameras. They're all PoE and have worked pretty well for me. They can push to Amcrest's proprietary cloud, but they can also push to an NFS server or any other security software suite that supports rtsp. They have a published API that anyone can use without a fee to access their camera's streams.
I've been totally happy with them.
No, there's no way they're binning. What they're more likely doing is manufacturing drives specifically for BackBlaze that use more reliable designs and components and slapping the same label on them.
How DARE you get sick and cost us our profits??? You ought to be ashamed of yourselves.
Make sure your code does nothing gracefully.
