Comment Re:not on reddit.. (Score 2) 54

Go do a parallel search for something political on Google and Yandex.

The reason is two fold. First, with Yandex being Russian, they want every political story about the West out there for people to read. They probably even promote the stories to higher rankings so they are seen. However, try putting in a query about the thoudands of Russian losses in Ukraine or Russian ships being sunk or the oil refineries in Russia being attacked or the Belgorod region being shelled by Russian forces and see what happens. I would be willing to bet you only get a few stories with little substance.

The second reason is as we all know, Google is flooded with SEO crap (like this story) and their software is unable, or unwilling, to filter the wheat from the chaff. They make money regardless of the quality of the search.

note that the pendulum has swung back.

Note, for example, the 2000 Morrison case, in which the USSC choked on the notion that a violent act a woman was inherently intra-state act.

While the overreach of the Commerce Clause still needs to be reined in, it doesn't (over) extend nearly as far as it used to.

Comment Re:Lack of options (Score 1) 128

I've started reading a lot more non-fiction, mainly history.

Oddly enough, so have I. Right now I'm on a book about Aaron Burr. Before that was Andrew Jackson and before that was James Madison. Then there was the book about how the Pilgrims and Puritans screwed over the Native Americans in New England (wonderful title: God, War, and Providence) despite Roger Williams' best efforts. And who couldn't read history without delving into World War II and the German army, Panzer Battles.

That last two chapters of the book should be required reading for anyone in the Ukrainian military. Literally, in the truest sense of the word, nothing has changed in Russian tactics and actions in the past 80 years. The words written sound like they were written last year.

The other thing is, if you know how to make a hybrid, you know how to make an EV. It's not like it's hard to scale up an electric power system. The motor driver is a small challenge, but the rest is just more and or bigger with no real complexity changes. So there is really no excuse for them not being able to make a compelling EV.

Comment Re: Hydrogen vs batteries [Re:Orders of magnitude] (Score 1) 134

Part of hydrogen technology has improved a lot. A partnership between GM and Honda significantly improved fuel cells, mostly in the cost department.

Storage is still terrible, though, which is why it's failing.

Maybe someday someone will solve the hydrogen storage problem in a reasonable way, and then it might take off. But if batteries continue improving as they are then it's going to be even harder for it to catch up.

"Simping for Hamas is absolutely a crystal clear example of employees... of human beings in general... who "did the wrong thing."

Yes, netanyahu, who told us that he was deliberately funding Hamas back in 2017 for the purpose of developing support for violently conquering Palestine, certainly did the wrong thing. So why are we funding genocide? He's an American citizen!
