Just make sure they're sealed adequately and drive them across the ocean. After all, Elon Musk says that a Tesla will float (for a while). :-)

Alternatively, the Boring Company could build a tunnel under the Pacific ocean from the Bay Area and just drive them over there. At one mile per week, they'll be done in only about 47 years. :-)

"the hacker threat is a threat that remains for all large companies providing services to the general public."

Unlike drones and bombs which deliberately target hospitals, schools, bus stations, train stations, ambulances and other services to the general public, right?

Buying non-American made stuff doesn't seem an issue with MAGA. Look at how much of that overpriced, Chinese-made Yeti stuff they fawn over when buying.

This is a critical point, as I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress,

Is he going to hand solder the pins on the chips? This sounds like something Kim Jong Un would say. As if he knows more than a multi-billon dollar international company whose had decades of experience making chips.

Not that anyone needed any more reasons to stop using Edge

Unfortunately, there are web site which don't work in Firefox. Just had one on Friday where the purchasing screen wouldn't accept inputs for credit card information. Neither Linux nor Windows version would work. Had to resort to insecure Edge to make the purchase and hope my information wasn't spread to the four winds.

According to this, there are almost 6,200 venture capital firms in the U.S. The AI answer from DDG says 3,417 VC firms at the end of 2023. However, other links showed as low as 1,000 firms.

That comes out to between 4 and 12 middle and top-level VC professionals per firm.

In many California cities, it costs almost that much just for a permit to have amplified sound at an outdoor concert for a few hours, on top of the venue fees. $1,000 a day for public advertising is priced like a fee, so of course they treat it like a fee. $100k per day would shut that down.

I suppose that's one way to keep the (probably mostly single male) software engineers and IT people doing what you want them to do, but I feel like digital managers would be more effective. :-D

Not really. Attacks on tumors often trigger metastasis. Useful choices are removal of the whole tumor, burning out the whole tumor, or poisoning it in a way that will also affect the mets. Any partial local attack that is likely to just make the tumor spread.

You do realize that local weather patterns will change because of world wide climate change, don't you? The jet stream over the country has changed its pattern which is why we get colder winters and hotter summers.

Or less rain than usual in one location and more rain than usual in another.

There's a reason it's called climate change and not weather change.

It's hardly ageist to understand that the years of experience necessary to do such a job well is critical.

Another reason that drunk at the Defense Department needs to go.

Does it matter? You spend more time trying to think you're being edgy than you do getting off your ass and moving around.

Yes, yes. DOGE was so great, nothing's being reported. Multiple people who worked in DOGE have come out publicly and stated they found almost not waste. One guy went in saying he expected to find $1 billion in waste. Instead, he found, maybe, $11 million, and that number is probably high he admitted.

In fact, almost all people said the same thing: the amount of waste or fraud in government services is insignificant. That government is more efficient than people want to believe, and that it is trying to update itself, but being such a large organization, and all the checks needed to prevent waste and fraud, it takes time.

Now go whine about something else which doesn't exist because you heard it on the Fox tabloid.

Every rule is written in blood (or words to that effect).

There's a reason regulations exist. Some might seem comical or outdated, but there's a reason for them.

By saying he's going to remove regulations (what regs are in place now?) what he's saying is it's going to be a free for all. Run fast until something breaks, even if it means unregulated AI takes down entire financial systems or tells people a teaspoon of cyanide in your brisket rub is a good thing.

But then, this shouldn't be a surpise. Trump is well known for not liking regulations because it interferes with his corruption. It's why he fired all those inspectors general for government agencies when he came in or why Bondi just fired the DOJ's top ethics lawyer.

When things go wrong, and they will, guaranteed it will be Obama's fault.
