Toyota makes cars that last in factories that last. They're preparing for January 2029 when the Troll-in-Chief leaves office.

Mainstream country music has been pop rock with twang and even dumber lyrics (not that pop is typically profound) for decades now. Bo Burnham's country song really says it a lot better than anything else I've seen yet.

The font is a deliberate decision whether it's a bot or not, on which I have no firm opinion. A variety of accounts (how many different people are involved is anyone's guess) have chosen to set their output in monospace over the years here. I think of them like hipsters. Monospace is inferior for the majority of tasks (except arguably for programming, and for a few data processing tasks where the data is naturally columnar when represented with fixed character width) so they're making a decision to make you read their thoughts in an inferior fashion. You could of course override fixed width text but my recollection is that Slashdot uses the classic HTML for this purpose and not something you could conveniently override without affecting other text that you might not want to make monospace. However, I haven't looked at the CSS recently so you might have options there.

I handle it by simply not reading anything they write. As a speed reader I unfortunately sometimes read parts of their comments by accident, but otherwise I choose not to consume any of it. They want to make it harder to read? Fine, in that case I'll pass.

Developers of iOS native apps have to know what TLS is because the App Transport Security policy of iOS requires all web APIs used by the application and controlled by its developer to use TLS since 2015.

Domestic buyers have to have money, so they have to have jobs, etc etc. They have official unemployment over 5% and among employable youth it's over 13%. Cars which sit degrade. This is more true for ICEVs but it's still true for EVs. And actually it's more true for EVs if they aren't kept charged, but I was assuming basic maintenance (washes, waxes, fluid changes, battery charging) being done in both cases to be generous.

I agree that those two things should happen at the same time. But I stand by the vast majority of AC comments being trolling or worse (e.g. uncreative trolling) and the "feature" being a huge detriment to the quality of Slashdot.

I don't know many people these days, so I'm the wrong guy to ask. However, it's super common for people with fiber to have 2.5GbE to the routermodem. I also live in a BFE county that's just now getting fiber to ONE city, so even if I knew a lot of people, I'd still be the wrong person to ask. But I'm also not representative in general, so again, wrong person to ask.

Could it be that since university enrollment is down in general, more marginal kids applied, thinking their odds are better now? Also because of AI fears, those choosing STEM majors are down, and thus more of the applicants may be for "squishier" degrees that don't need as much math.

I blame Excel, AI, Republicans, and climate change.

All 4 are merging into the Bigly Annoyance Party.

Like Jiiiihna. The upside is it makes commerce more efficient, as vendors don't need to deal with cash and related security.

If there comes a time where a centrally managed economy, population distribution, and perhaps genetic engineering becomes more efficient than ours, we may be SOL.

[60's idea] got canned when the John Bircher Society came out claiming it was Communist influence

They were somewhat right: Donald is a dictator-wannabe who has already stuck his fingers into multiple industries.

But I myself won't miss the penny, nor Donald.

> all notes are subject to scrutiny

Clarification: subject to judicial scrutiny to make sure they don't contain personal info or info irrelevant to the case.

In the clean-room approach, the other party or examiners are required to be strip-searched and to wear simple prison-like clothing as they go into a room without internet connections to examine the info in question? They can take written notes, but all notes are subject to scrutiny before being handed back.
