I feel bad for the developers being layed off, but the company has been rotten for years ever since they commercialized and did away with standalone confluence and forced everyone to cloud, breaking compatibility with 3rd party apps and destroying that ecosystem. What a a great product that they cratered. I'm still, to this day, looking for a viable replacement that is not on the same money grabbing trajectory (Bookstack is looking good)

Well, he's on to something - send the bill for the door-dash driver to the person who left the door open.

Great! I like that. I'd proposed THOSE people should get a prescription for the advantage of this augmentation to help them live a more normal life. Kind of like ppl get a handicap parking sticker, or some people get prescription narcotics to help them live a functionally "normal" life. Letting anyone have this is chaos. But then, I suppose, because of the world we live in, ppl would abuse the system and claim they have a problem to gain access to this new super power for nefarious purposes.... OR, hey, how about a financial gate - set the bar really high to limit the access... or a moral subscription gate, so YOU, the wearer are tracked and tagged while using it to even the playing field... I dunno - something seems one-sided about all this.

Forget about just the heat, that's about 110 square mile of solar panels required to generate 100GW (accounting to the, ahem, "5 times greater efficiency" of being in space). Which, if were a single array of that size, cast a shadow of about 50 square miles of total darkness. Granted, he's not suggesting a SINGLE datacenter, rather many smaller ones, but the total SF of panels required is about equal, and not a small array by any account.

If I ignore all the bullshit this yellow haired bastard spouts out, part of me might think Trump is a genius playing a fool - aka - "The Batman that Gotham needs, not the one it wants" So, his strategy is kind of a "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" mixed with playing dumb, and letting everyone else fight it out. The entire cast of characters that make up his cabinet - the most useless and worst of the worst. Throw them a bone and keep them close. Let the angry mob chew them up in the end. In this specific example, he took aim at wind and solar, already a target from some of his "friends", but by doing so, he mustered the normally quite left to push back, and with more than equal force, to actually get the message out there and we'll end up with a stronger solar and wind infrastructure than could have been achieved through small wins here and there with the constant pushback. Immigration is a harder one to see the angle, but never have so many people cared about freedom and (protecting) immigrants, the people who founded this country, than before he brought the slab of meat to the butcher block. Everything he's "against" will grow stronger. Like a broken bone that heals stronger. So, maybe he *IS* a genius after all, and actually *IS* draining the swamp, just not in the direct way everyone assumed. But maybe my tin-foil hat is not working... Just some thoughts.

I see a lot of buzz around Cory Doctorow. Doctorow... Hmm... I think people just like saying his name. It's uncommon and sounds funny, but has the word "Doctor" in it, so hey, maybe he's clever? I know I like to say it, it tickles my pallet. I don't think he'd be as popular if he had a different name - like "John Smith".... FWIW, I have NO IDEA what this dude is all about - just like sayin' his name LOL

It's not always the employers fault - sure larger corps are greedy, but smaller ones need to compete by making financial choices - the good of the one vs the good of the many.... If I have 50 people in my company and one of them is an "American born" resource who is failing to keep up his/her skills, and along comes a prospect with better skills at a lower cost, why should I keep the "Slacker". Would it be different if the replacement were American born? Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer the local variety for so many reasons, but if the company is at stake and I might shut my doors as a result of employing over-payed under skilled American workers. touch decisions.

What does AI have to do with "this eco saver car" - you are crossing topics. This topic has to do with powering AI datacenters, not electric cars.

There should be a CR between the OP's quote and my reply: " immigrants. [CR]Yes,..."

>What this really comes down to, like all immigration debates, is racism. They don't like the color of the skin or the religion of the immigrants. Yes, exactly. But what's wrong with that? (And it's not so simple as your example) I mean, in America, that is a problem because America was founded on immigrants to build and form the nation. "Give me your poor, your sick, your huddled masses" and so on. Up until recently that is. Switzerland(and several other European nations) never made that offer to the world. The were racially and socially homogeneous, and want to keep their culture and social value system. What's wrong with that? You can't apply American values in this instance, no matter how much we're trained(brainwashed) to believe it is a universal truth. FWIW, foreigners _are_ welecomed in Switzerland, but they do need to leave their culture, language, and, in many cases, religion at the border and assimilate to Swiss culture. I think that is a fair trade-off. Some people want their cake and eat it too, and this is where the Swiss protectionism kicks in - and rightly so. Does the whole world have to turn "grey"? Can't we keep some identity? You think London, and Big Ben comes to mind, Belgium and you might think monks and monasteries, India, you might think spires and temples, Switzerland, you think mountains and Swiss cheese and chocolates.. The Swiss want to keep their culture and don't want you thinking of Switzerland associated with mosques and spires... And that is their right - they never signed up for that with any open invite like the US did.

Agreed. Silverado with the Midgate checks all your boxes. But Ford was using Off the shelf parts, so I give them a pass at their first go.

EXCELLENT first go from Ford at an electric pickup truck. Beat Musk to market and even taught him a lesson or two. The Lightning was supposed to be replaced in a few years anyway (T3) and most of us knew it as a science experiment. I applaud the engineering team who had impossible timelines, almost no budget and a seemingly impossible mandate to build an EV truck with as many off the shelf parts as possible. Does it have some short comings? Well, no more than it's ICE cousin- is it big? It's no bigger than the ICE version. It drives like a dream and I've used its "Full size" quite often to haul stuff. Maybe I'm the exception. It was a good learning platform for Ford and if/when they design an EV truck from the ground up, they'll have plenty of experience under their belt. Now is a good time to retreat, retool and rebuild. Chevy upped the ante, making the Lightning look long in the tooth. And let's not even talk about the cybertruck abomination. It only gets credit for laying down the gauntlet.

Until they give us the option to remove whatever letters or symbols we want from the keyboard.. I mean seriously, how often does anyone use the letter "X"? or "Q", or how about "V"? :P

Really? How?
