NHTSA and NASA didn't study all of the code in the PCM. Their analysis is therefore invalid. Barr Group found a significant number of paths to unintended acceleration, zero of which depended on cosmic rays and also that Toyota not only didn't follow industry best practices, they didn't follow their own internal procedures. And you think China, which hasn't ever made the best software for anything, is immune to the same kinds of errors. You literally stated that there was no other way that it could happen, which is an obvious falsehood. It's unclear why you're engaging in this level of gaslighting.

We don't really know. I would bet that you are correct, and even give odds, but not long odds. Anything over 10:1 and I'd feel nervous.

IIUC, an em dash is a dash as wide as a capital "M".

I agree. In fact for most cable companies in particular it probably makes little sense to replace anything that can do even just 1 gigabit, because they almost surely have other regions or at least boroughs which are currently underserved.

I suspect it's mostly limited to sizable households with a lot of users. But we keep finding new ways to use available bandwidth...

This is true, but it's also dangerous. On the other hand federal law allows you to expire them after 5 years. Some states don't allow them to ever expire, but most do. So eventually you do get some of that money back.

That's both now (they could have done fiber a long time ago) and also the best case. Remember, "up to 10 Gbps speeds" (from your link) means anything from 0 bps to 10 Gbps.

Yes, but not for the reason you think. He thinks he can have AI do all the work. This is a move to get rid of everyone who will go easily. Paying these severances has surely been calculated to be cheaper than fielding lawsuits for dismissal without "justifiable reasons." You can be sure that they will next move on to a just-barely-not-legally-provable hostile work environment in order to convince more people to quit. There is no urgent need for layoffs, just a dumb CEO idea, so doing a layoff isn't viable.

Same. I've never seen anyone get pissed off at it, which differentiates it from most other examples :)

You can buy a whole smartphone for the price of that stupid sock.

When I was a kid, we were going to run out of oil by the year 2000 and nuclear fusion was only twenty years ago.

Now we have governments telling us we can't burn all the oil we still have because of the dreaded CO2 and fusion is still only twenty years away.

All these forecasts are nonsense.

We reduced our usage of coal by sending our manufacturing jobs to China where they run their factories on... coal.

It's almost like the Chinese bribed our governments to ban coal so the crooks in power could justify sending those manufacturing jobs to China.

I'm just old enough to remember when we were heading into a New Ice Age. Of course, Millennials tell me that never happened, but since I lived through the New Ice Age scare I know it did.

It's all been nonsense all my life. If you check even older newspapers you find "Climate Change" scams going back a hundred years or more. If it's hot, we're going to melt down, if it's cold we're going into a New Ice Age.

Bill Gates no longer cares about "climate change" because AI is the new hotness.

You can't build massive numbers of new power plants if you're banning CO2 because of your last round of scare stories.

Anybody else ever play You Don't Know Jack with three other people? I think that was the first really clean and comprehensible party quiz game, and a YDKJ title seems like it would be a good fit here.

Pretty much any cellphone can now do a decent imitation of a Wiimote (besides the sensors, you could also use camera data) and it would also be hilarious to see people accidentally chuck their phones across the room while bowling.
