I suspect people will realize that it is US sales numbers when they read 'federal tax credit" and amounts in $, as well as Rivian. As to cause, I suspect those on th fence pulled the plug before credits expired, and others just saw a huge price increase. Paradoxically, if you want an EV in the US now is likely the time to see what sort of deal you can get as dealers want to get rid of them and stop paying for the floor plan.

The engineering profession made a big mistake not requiring licensure to call oneself an engineer. Four months of what looks to be a liberal arts survey and you are a "forward deployed engineer" in a client facing role? Looks like a way to see if they can get cheaper labor without the customer realizing it so they can up margins. From the linked TFA to earlier /. post, they wanted more Ethan just your average high school grad, if they apply the same criteria as the linked post mentions.

It appears so since the Creative Labs page advertises the Kickstarter campaign. In addition, they use the Creative SoundBlaster logo and I suspect CL's lawyers would be on them if they weren't associated with CL in some way.

It would seem creating 1.4 million sites and using names, logos, etc. without permission and taking a cut of the mony would be ripe for a major class action lawsuit.

When did you think that was a good idea, pilgrim?

Smart company would fix problem and get YouTuber to test again; unless the problem isn’t fixable. Then you sre fucked and drawing attention via a lawsuit is a bad idea.

I assume Apple has a way, but due to corporate policy TS is not allowed to do what she asked; even if they wanted to help. It’s also possible they do not have access to the tools to help her. Personally, I would not want TS to be able transfer owner based on a phone call and some social engineering. In her case, I suspect a judge could order the husband to make an ownership change and can do far worse than Apple for non-compliance.

It’s also possible it is corporate policy and the TS reps would get fired for violating it.

I wonder what version they will build if any - SBWR, or the smaller unit based on its deign. My guess this is a "gone before we have to spend significant money but keeps him happy while we get gov't cash" kind of deal.

Students also have to put in the work, It's a two way street.

Part of the problem is the path of least resistance. Friends who still teach say they will get calls from parent (!) over grades so at some point it's easier to give A's and let the real world sort it out

A good instructor knows what questions are say and others hard and can craft a test to be pretty assured it will fall into a certain score distribution. Reviewing answers can also identify confusing questions or gaps in th lessons if people regularly get it wrong.

Because starting from scratch lets you thump your chest and say "See what we did" vs. the relatively obscure and often thankless task of making something existing better under the hood?

I realize those devices exit, but how many offer the features of phones at or near teh top of the market? Unless it can match that, it will remain merely neat tech used by a few diehards.

A very interesting technological challenge. I suspect phone manufacturers will attempt to find ways to block installing it on their devices, given the phone itself is not the only revenue stream but also user data. A cat and mouse game will ensue, much like Apple with jailbreaks. Good luck to them, it would be a great plus for users.

I want a cheesesteak, pretzel and TastyCake

Not sure why McKinsey is wondering how to sell something with "No Measurable Benefits," that has been a key consulting skill for years before AI.

That has been true before AI as well. Companies seem to think "people will just learn it" or "it's the same as before with a few changes;" and as a result training and all the other stuff never gets done right. Companies then wonder why they have problems and the promised benefits never happen.

Yea, like those woke pundits and politicians who got all upset the AP stuck with "Gulf of Mexico." Sweet salty tears, indeed.
