possibly, but as I understand it this will severely impact fed research grant $$ too (like more efficient solar cell tech and such). That is something that industry will also do, but at a much slower pace without incentive.

It's a train wreck. Freight cars full of GOP everything. I assume this is part of it, but really this administration appears determined to undo *everything* the previous administration did for no other reason than it was done by the previous administration. Seriously, if there was ever a POTUS that the tee shirt slogan "Go away or I will replace you with a small shell script" was apropo for, this appears to be it.

Interestingly as a (long former) sales person for saturns, the employment side of that is an identical experience... :)

yes, yes, and no (with qualifications for heavy vehicles and rear axle gearing).

And a valid defense is "I wasn't driving the vehicle" (At least in CA).
There are some hoops to jump through, but in the end you can get out of the ticket if the driver is unidentifiable.

Further, I got a ticket for being stopped at the limit line, but the rain triggered the camera. That was a fun one to fight as well. Ultimately I simply had my front license plate stolen, and that resolved most issues with that intersection for me.

My programming class used the ANSI C specification as the "textbook". Teacher said it was optional, but recommended.

Oh snap! That should pair nicely with my mooncoin, backed by land on the moon!

and for the *most* part buying a mutual fund when it's at a discount is a good idea, because you're much more likely to see capital appreciation, and conversely selling when at a premium is a good idea.

Then you add in all the exceptions to the rule and you get the complexity of the CEF market.

And this is the worrisome part...

The initial TSB just said:
"Reliability update for PCM"

While Apple didn't communicate and that may be an issue, what they actually did is no different than this. The only way to get "pep" back in your engine was to buy a new PCM that wasn't flashed, or a newer model of the engine all together that had revised components.

If it's that or grenading the engine because they determined that piston ring wear (IIRC) was unacceptable at the higher torque?

Dodge did just this with their computers. I have an 04 Hemi and no fuel gage because the newer pump (old fuel pump failed) requires newer firmware. Thing is, the newer firmware nerfed *all* the 5.7 Hemi's because some had a ring clearance issue... so I have a choice, decreased performance and (possibly) longer engine life, or keep it as is and have better performance, but might blow my engine up?

No one is censuring Chrysler about this, in fact it's considered a recall. It is the directly analogous automotive issue for this apple battery issue. Battery is not strong enough to run the phone in some situations, so they nerf the CPU such that the battery can handle the load.

only in cases of nearly terminal dumbassary though. The Internet routes around even minimal damage.

I actively disbelieve them. Lack of transparency is an indicator of fraud or incompetence in finance. Active opacity is only an indicator of fraud.
