Fuck that noise. That should be protected, and was well with in scope.The EPA is not riding roughshod over any common citizen. A billionaire with no regard to the environment, sure. Any company just straight dumping pollutants into the ground water, year fucking get those guys. Not all land should be developed. Do your own research.

Point one granted. Point two not granted. Thats a really dumb argument . We don't have two rational parties. Just one. The other is too busy arguing before the supreme court that we shouldn't be a Democracy and elections shouldn't be considered as determinative. Until they accept the extensive proof that 2020 was legitimately won, their lack of votes on anything is not significant.

No, the lack of clear English is the first barrier to getting anything resolved. The lack of empowerment is the second one. But there are very normal obvious requests that can be done by support, if you can get past a language barrier. How do I know? Because I've lived it. Google pixel offers the ability to close caption live phone calls and it does an amazing job with accents. So at least I can understand them. So from that stand point I've been able to phrase my requests properly to get them understood by the support staff. With that accomplished, I've been able to actually get reasonable support. Sure they have a script and limited powers, but most of the time that's all you need.

Yeah, but oh man you have to be pretty daft to not have seen this coming. No serious group of people thought there was a reasonable chance that hydrogen was the immediate future. They were gambling and they lost. If they didn't understand they were gambling? Just absolutely daft. A fool and their money. And yeah, I'd apply this to the first BEV users too. It wasn't certain they would be successful, and would have a lot of pain points.

Yeah, agreed, with one exception. EA. The EA guys are not all there, IMHO. They abandon all short term goals in pursuit of longer term goals that may not happen. You have to plan for short, medium, and long term outcomes that all align with your ethics. Bad things happen when you only focus on the long term regardless of how good your intentions.

For those too lazy to read the article its a perfectly understandable tactic he used. Create a bunch of accounts with bogus information, try to get elevated instances on each one, run crypto mining on them launder the crypto. As each instance gets shut off for non payment, create a new one with different bogus info. makes 100% sense how he did it, and how the caught him. Kind of dumb to try, did he really think he wasn't going to be caught once the totals got into the millions? I'm sure it was pretty easy to figure out which accounts he created at the end. His flaw was not stopping before he got caught and staying somewhere where US agencies have jurisdiction.

You know that definition, full of racist, msygonistic, anti-Semitic dog whistles is coopting the of the term defined by and for African Americans and other minorities when they suddenly recognized that racism, mysogyny,etc wasn't just personal interactions but systemic encoded into our laws, streets, schools and other institutions that caused the harm to be generational.

Comment Two possibilities (Score 1) 28

1) Alexa/echo are dying products and they aren't investing more money just to lose money
2) Amazon is going to invest heavily in them, and the easiest way to remove competition is to just let them whiter on the vine before introducing competing functionality. Then if it comes up in anti trust, they can just say they left the platform, so we replaced that with our own product. They know which are widely sued and which are not. Alexa can build in the useful ones for a much more seamless experience with a more advanced AI.
