Democrats were bragging about their leader's intelligence and wit for three and a half years while he obviously suffered from dementia. So it's not like they have... they have... I mean come on man!

Interesting interpretation to say that VC's are now "biased" because they're inclined to fund partnerships - just like they always were.

What has changed is an increase in the number of would-be solo entrepreneurs who shun partnership. What's causing that new bias? Maybe VC's are wary of funding Covid Kids who think they can build an empire before they have even built a team or partnership.

I remember when the mask thing came up how many Trumpers parroted the idea that no person could breathe with them. This despite decades of people using them and miraculously living. Of course they always asked for "proof" that people could breathe. I listed doctors especially surgeons, dentists for decades. Most recently nail technicians and commercial painters. That does not include people who work in industrial settings where masks are required.

Well that is a lie. The Saturn V payload was 140,000 kg or 155 short tons to LEO and 50 tons to lunar orbit. So, yes, the Saturn V could bring 140 tons to orbit.

That is a lot of words to confirm that vehicle is not currently ready for commercial payloads and will not be in the near future. Current payloads are worth tens of millions, and no one is trusting that to this vehicle.

Why would you bring a full payload to orbit to test heat shielding and stresses on the outer skin? That is all a factor of speed and acceleration, not mass.

Or maybe their growth-driving breakthroughs were when they were young and thin and quick, but now they've become ossified with over-management and internal fiefdoms, and are trying to turn the clock back.

Previous comments have been drawing analogies to Black Mirror, but this "idea" goes back much further...

...This is an episode of Max Headroom (US version).

Specifically, S02E02: "Deities." A company claims to be able to bring past loved ones back to "life" as an AI, for a modest recurring fee. But Bryce (the creator of Max Headroom) opines they can't possibly have the compute power to do it, as it requires a large mainframe just to run Max's highly flawed, glitching bust.

Wouldn't surprise me if the "visionaries" behind this saw that episode, and saw an opportunity to fleece gullible rubes.

Unrestricted means without restriction. Warrants should cover very specific things to seize. For example, if a search warrant is for a murder weapon and clothes worn during the murder, the police cannot decide the suspect's extensive vinyl record collection can be seized too.

While your example might detail how the police can know about the video in the second case, the problem is the scope of both warrants limit what the police can seize. Why would the police bother seizing vacation videos when looking for tax records? The other problem is while first accountant only used paper records how would the police know that? When requesting a search warrant the police would likely asked for any digital tax files as well.

Well, they german court only ruled the carbon must stay captured for atleast 25 years, but Apple couldn't even do that.

The first fate that popped into my mind was:

Multiple companies have said they don't see any point investing money in Canada while it's run by idiots, and Canadians have been putting their elbows up and shipping their money to the US by the tens of billions this year. Even the Prime Minister and the Canada Pension Plan have most of their money in the US.

I can't see the economy going anywhere but down. Tech is just one of the easiest sectors to export because it doesn't need pipelines or industrial-sized machinery.

I think Tesla would have been a much more profitable company under Apple. Musk certainly got it to a point - over a million cars per year, and the single most popular car model, gas or electric. But more recently with cancelling the small cheap car, and the Cybertruck, and betting the company on robotaxi... Apple wouldn't have done any of that stuff. They'd be improving successive versions and not offending their customers with politics, and making Tesla a super-valuable company.

For now. I do not put it past publishers to put in a periodic activation check on games that are "purchased” by the player. The update will come in the form of a "patch". Then a fee for periodic activation will be next. For example Blizzard has already done the periodic activation check with StarCraft 2. I found out when I tried to play it during an Internet outage. Since I had not played it in 30 days online I could not play it offline.
