Yes, that's my point. That limitation is crippling, and there was no good reason for the law to restrict their authority to navigable waterways, only a bad and corporatism-serving reason.

Cryptocurrency miners can buy land in a catbox state and put in a solar array. It's going to be cheaper than coal. Then they can mine while the sun shines. This isn't a move to stop cryptocurrency. This is a move to force coal plant operators to do what they claimed they were doing all along. We can find coal plants emitting more than they are legally allowed as fast as we can pay people to sample their emissions.

I disagree with you because I've learned to follow the money.

The phrase was coined in the 1976 film "All the President's Men", which by the way is pretty great if you're into things like that. You do have to have an attention span longer than the time between a SOCK and a POW in a Marvel movie, though.

You are welcome to catch up to the wisdom of over four decades ago.

Twitter only needed to show a profit for one year, and they only showed a profit for one year. What a remarkable coincidence!

You should kill whoever wrote that comment, then.

Quite possible, but Microsoft stole and included Stacker and that also caused quite a lot of data loss since it also sucked.

how much is the cheapest TV today compared to the 90s

You can't eat your TV. You can't drive your TV to the grocery store. You can't take your TV into the bank and get a home loan, nor can you take your TV to a home seller and get a reasonable price. You can't hand it to the university and be handed back an education. You can't give your doctor your TV and receive surgical or even preventive care or the meds you need.

Your problem (other than the root one of spewing disingenuous nonsense) is that you're looking at the pricing in the electronics sector and pretending it's representative of the extremely high basic living costs I called out (which of course it is not) — nowhere did I say anything about either the pricing of electronics or the need for a TV to achieve a reasonable cost of living. Nor should you have. But here we are.

It actually made sense on the Mac, because programs were officially called "applications" and even had the type code APPL.

Interestingly developing nations seem to be some of the most keen on EVs. China, for example, has a growing middle class and they are buying a lot of electric vehicles. The convenience of being able to charge at home and from solar is attractive, as well as the lower maintenance costs and lower pollution.

In China's case they also have good public transport, so a 150km range isn't such a big deal. Batteries that size have reached price parity with ICE drivetrains.

It's fairly essential that we encourage and help other developing nations to go that way, especially India.

So DOS 4 is Vista, and DOS 5 is Windows 7... oh how history repeats

I'm not sure I see your point about the nature of Jewishness. Especially today where we are seeing baseless claims of anti-Semitism when people, including people of Jewish ancestry and of the Jewish faith, are protesting against the actions of Zionists. It seems to me that clarity is very much required.

As for rights, they do trade off against other people's, but they shouldn't when it comes to religion. The CofE's various exemptions are a good example of that, they beliefs shouldn't have any special rights.

Well, there is that I suppose, but to me it just seems like it is making it harder for people who are ethnically/culturally Jewish to separate that identity from the Jewish religion.

The other issue is that we end up protecting religious beliefs that should not be protected, sometimes at the expense of other people's rights.

Unless... They build another factory. Or start converting one of their existing ones. Or rebadge someone else's EV, like a lot of the European manufacturers do.

I'm pessimistic about the US market as well, but I wouldn't read too much into this.

Most Japanese brands were late to the EV game, with the exception of Nissan. I think some of them are still hoping that hybrids remain available for decades to come.

Honda's first EV, the Honda e, was really good. Okay, small battery, but everything else was great. Top notch tech, the best HMI of any car on the market, and the vehicle itself really took advantage of the EV drivetrain with a tiny turning circle and well tuned suspension.

Their second one, the confusingly named e:Ny1, is pretty pedestrian, if you will excuse the pun. It has barely any EV features. Bizarrely the regen is both weak and resets to off after a few minutes of driving. It's a nice enough car in other ways, but priced ridiculously high and already massively discounted. Why they ditched all the good work they did with the Honda e remains a mystery.

There is the up-coming Honda and Sony collaboration, but I expect it will be over-priced and not particularly great.

Toyota's BZ4X or whatever it's called is apparently decent. Some initial software issues that limited charging speed were quickly fixed. Mazda has one EV but it's not very good. Mitsubishi had one but never developed it, and now has none. Suzuki, Daihatsu, and several others don't seem to have any EVs at all. Apparently a lot of the issue is down to their suppliers in Japan not developing suitable EV drivetrain components and not wanting to rely on China like the rest of the world does. Hard times for Japan's auto industry.

Ford's plan seems to be to offer affordable EVs, which will get the scale up: https://www.businessinsider.co...

It's worked well enough in Europe.
