"you are posting on Slashdot..."
so does SuperKendall.

"..buy some long ..."
with what money?

"you'd make enough to keep the mortgage current"
what mortgage?

"... after there return of the principle"
Sure, /. posters by definition has multiyear financial plans.

Let them eat cake.

LOL as if cryptocurrencies are anything other than manufactured scarcities of literally no value. This is what you get when you employ AI to manufacture prose in support of fraud.

It may be the case that some independent operators refuse to load some random EV into a container with inadequate means of monitoring it. That doesn't mean they can't be shipped en masse with appropriate safety procedures. The likes of BYD operate their own fleets of ships and will ship them to wherever there is demand.

Well Venezuela's administration is evil but that doesn't justify the sabre rattling the US is doing right now which clearly has ulterior motives. In fact, if you were to replace the word "Venezuela" with "Ukraine", the rhetoric wouldn't be far removed from what Russia was saying prior to invading that country.

Also, consider missing with your shot and hitting a little girl merrily going on her way to school, store, etc. And be sure to keep your lawyer on retainer should you do this. And do not forget basic gun safety, keep it locked up and away from your kids. And also keep aware of your mental health as a gun can represent a quick escape from the world. So go buy a Glock, hell buy one for yourself and 10 of your friends. They'll be friends of yours for life, yes?

Wait until you find out about American car companies

"Too much drinking, crap eating, and not exercising enough eventually takes their toll."

sure, it must be because of their inferiority and not because you have simply forgotten. Could not possibly be you.

Correct. The article says this:

"The researchers then fed the data into machine learning algorithms trained to recognize faces."

What is "the data" here? We don't know.

The article wants to suggest that some people view portions of data more selectively but it doesn't say that. Also, what are the "earliest stages of visual processing"? They say "retinal encoding" but if that's true then the OP's description of what was done wouldn't show anything.

Just out of curiosity, how many butterflies do you figure the scientists can reasonably be expected to tag? Sometimes it helps to have a sense of proportion. Mathematics can help. Sociology would tie up the loose ends for you. So you needn't gets your knickers in a twist over this.

Then he'll get HHS to put some scientists to work on changing monarch genetics so they'll come gold.

Yeah, why would we want to understand the world around us. It's all magical and simply is, right? Hint: understanding the world can tell us when, how, and why we are screwing it up. Whale song changes might indicate those changes. But, please, wallow in your unenlightened bubble of ignorance. What you don't know, won't hurt you, right?

It's not just auto manufacturing but industry in general. China has stolen an insurmountable lead on renewables, EVs, battery tech, robots and other forms of manufacturing & the resources needed to make them.

Meanwhile America, instead of innovating or competing has decided to go protectionist, using tariffs to stop domestic manufacturers getting kicked to the curb because they suck so hard. That can only work for so long, but after that?

While America was imposing tariffs on everyone, other countries were re-aligning their trade to less hostile countries. China wants to do business and so it gets the business.

The infrastructure required to perpetually get decent to good quality petrol to where it's needed is insane. For electric you just need a battery, some solar cells and you're good to go. Petrol throughout south America is notoriously bad, often mixed with (bad) (m)ethanol and often a gable to fill in your tank. Its not uncommon for adventure bike riders to bring an extra spare piston and cylinder along in case you frag yours beyond repair and need to replace it somewhere in the ass-end of Patagonia.

That doorstep countries around the world are moving to solar and electric vehicles faster than developed countries makes perfect sense.

I do most of my shopping there, at Grocery Outlet, and at Costco. I actually do more shopping at grossout, because they are the closest thing that doesn't suck. We have a local market and mini-market, and I'm not a big fan of either one. (The market is somewhere around "OK", the mini market is disappointing.) I got Costco's card honestly just to get fuel quicker as the card is a membership card, and it's convenient for me to stop in there on my way to work.

Winco is an employee-owned co-op, and their pricing seems to be dynamic in general and the prices actually go back down, so I'm really happy with them. Grocery Outlet has beer I want to drink and high quality local dairy products, and an interesting and ever-changing stock of weird shit, and neither of the local ones are scuzzy. I have a chest freezer...
