There used to be, then the EU rule came in, but with an exception for special purpose vacuums.

Seen this sort of thing happen before. They will wait a few years and then release a new truck, that is a rebadged Chinese model.

There is no story about ruzzians that I do not find disgusting, the only good ruzzian is a dead ruzzian. Trump believing that he can negotiate a business deal with them, involving Exxon Mobile buying the rights to some oil fields for a bargain and putin caring about doing business is cute. putin has Trump and all other Americans figured out. Americans want to do busuness, rhey are all about making money. Certainly it seems to be a rational thing to do. Except putin doesn't care about making money, to him money is not made in business deals, it is taken from whoever makes it, he just takes it, business is for chumps.

putin looks at Trump and the rest of them and understands how to manipulate them easily to achieve his own goals, which are not business goals. putin wants Ukraine, the whole thing and should Ukraine fall he wants the rest of Europe, all of it.

Europeans don't get it but really it shouldn't be that difficult. There is another force they are familiar with tbat has the same goal of world domination - islam. The muslim brotherhood and putin are really very similar concepts. Both want to dominate, both use the weaknesses of democracies and the business approach as jiujitsu of sorts against the West. The West does not understand this because it cannot wrap its head around such concepts, it makes no sense to the Western sensibilities, the West is too rational but also short sighted and too full of itself. The West cannot imagine being outplayed by ruzzians or the islamists. The West is wrong on all counts in this game, it does not recognize its own shortsightedness and its own narcissism.

ruzzians are a scourge, a plague, so are islamists. The West is not ready for this war.

Watts aren't the key to good cleaning. Japanese brands make 300W cleaners that do a better job than 3000W European ones.

You need something to lift the dust off the surface and into the air stream. Basic vacs have little brushes, but you really want moving ones that sweep and beat, lifting dust away from the surface.

It's interesting that the is news. I don't recall it being a big deal when the Chinese space station had to dodge a SpaceX satellite.

Some sites do have the money: X, Facebook and the like. All the small sites (like Slashdot) don't and would be very likely to shut down.

Without Section 230, sites are more likely to be sued for moderating, not less. Section 230 protects "good faith" moderation.

Trump is going to be like Brexit. You can make some calculations, and the numbers are eye watering, but the true cost is much higher. The decline of a nation, the loss of soft power, the social problems and the lives permanently blighted by it.

Which is still useful. I was trying to fix an issue with a web app I made (I'm not a web developer, this is just a hobby project) and a bit of googling didn't turn up the answer. ChatGPT knew what the solution was from my description. So as a glorified search engine, it did better than Google and DDG.

Wind and solar don't suddenly stop producing. It's extremely predictable.

And despite government at all levels opposing renewable technology. In the end, economics win out. People wanting energy independence, seeing one of the best investments they can make.

The point of S230 is that platforms like twitter don't have to pre-approve comments before publication. It would be impossible for them to do at that scale, even in the Musk era, without a very inaccurate automated system.

Responding to reports of another thing and not protected.

How many people can afford to sue Trump?

Nothing to do with the merits of the dispute, but the cost of Trump's litigation strategy.

Clear, simple and utterly wrong. Who can report? Anyone? Who gets to decide if it is illegal? How quickly does the platform have to respond.

Look at how the Copyright takedown notices work today. Platforms are flooded with such notices, many of which come from sources unrelated to the copyright holder, or who misrepresent copyright ownership, or who ignore fair use. The result is that lots of items get taken down for bogus reasons.

What makes you think that these will stop if Section 230 is repealed? In fact, what is likely to happen is that this type of "speech" will be the only thing left.

Perhaps you don't really understand Section 230?
