Comment Re:No uBlock Origin, Chromium manifest v3 (Score 1) 12

That is false. Vivaldi does not support any manifest v2 initiative beyond what was provided in Chromium and explicitly said as much early last year. As of right now there's no manifest v2 support, uBlock Origin is not supported, and since Vivaldi uses Chrome's own store, it isn't even listed in search results.

If you have uBlock Origin installed right now, you're running an outdated version.

Comment Re: If they can't figure out EV (Score 1) 157

Yes that is a very real risk, shipping firefighting systems haven't been sufficient to address lithium fires. However the biggest issue here is total insurable risk rather than just the fire itself. Fires aren't that big of a problem in the grand scheme of shipping. There have been about 3 ships sunk due to EV fires (one of which from a home made EV), and one totally destroyed but was able to be towed to the destination in the past decade. In the industry there's something in the order of 30 fully laden transport ships sink every year. The difference is if your ship is filled with containers of cloths and shit from China it's a very different loss calculation compared to losing $450million shipment of 8000 EVs.

But it's all about risk an equipment. Pretty universally nowadays EVs are shipped with around 25% state of charge and new and retrofitted bulk carriers are designed to minimise the impact from EV fires. The risk is still very real, but ultimately a couple of companies refusing to carry EVs is more due to their equipment, policies and lack of investment in shipping rather than EVs themselves. The shipping industry itself is highly specialised with ship designs closing matching the products being transported. EVs just happen to be "new" at this and part of the industry hasn't caught up yet.

Also Roll On Roll Off vessels are in short supply meaning shippers can turn down customers without losing business. It's actually one of the reasons BYD started its own shipping company. Even before the first major EV shipping loss they were struggling to find shippers while competing with other car companies. The rise of "made in China" in the car industry happened faster than ships could keep up.

Deals fall apart all the time, you clown.

Of course they do. That's kind of how bubbles start popping, when deals fall apart. By the way what is a "deal"? The OpenAI Stargate project wasn't "a deal", it was a landmark project for the industry, a $500bn datacentre which would have consumed 40% SK Hynix's manufacturing capacity.

Investments this year will surpass $2.5 trillion.

And yet a single project from one company just knocked 20% off that figure. That's how bubbles work, when suddenly a double digit percentage of an industry changes on a whim you know you're in a period of instability.

Are you retarded?

You not having a clue doesn't make other people retarded, ... actually it's a bit of the opposite.

Comment Re:Iran is going to lose access to the gulf (Score 1) 465

You know, the difference between you and me is I've actually asked Iranians I know about Trump's actions, and you haven't because you don't know any Iranians to ask. They are distraught that he's entrenched the regime by being so fucking shit at this. They wanted the regime to be actually gone, not bolstered. They gave him the benefit of the doubt for several weeks, but not any more.

Your last line sums it up perfectly. You find it literally inconceivable that anyone could be anti-regime and yet think Trump has done a shitty job and made things worse. That's because you're a fucking simpleton. Let's see if i can explain things to you with an analogy. Imagine that you have a broken leg and some guy says "trust me I'm a surgeon" but turns out to have actually chopped a leg, and it's the other fucking leg as well, and now infection has set in. You're not obliged to be grateful towards them. You don't have to think they've done a good job, just because you did in fact have a broken leg. You still have the broken leg, but now you're an amputee and you've got an infection. That's the position of Iranians today.

Comment Re:Israel & USA screwed up (Score 1) 465

Oh spare me. You're supporting Trump in this, so much so that you refuse to acknowledge that his actions have failed on their own terms.

The very questions you ask me apply to his actions:
Did it stop Iran from selling oil? No
Or funding terrorism? No. The regime is poorer but it continues to fund proxies.
Or stockpiling missiles? No
How about building ballistic missiles? No
Enriching Uranium? No
Sink Iran's navy? Yes. Except for the fast attack boats that are actually shutting the straits (along with mines and drones)
  Destroy Iran's air force? Yes. Except for the drones which are actually carrying out the attacks on regional infra (along with missiles)
Did it stop Iran from mass slaughtering its own people? No

And then we can ask some more:
Has he removed the regime? No
Has the regime become more entrenched? Yes
Has the regime inflicted the largest oil and gas suppy shock in history? Yes
Have we felt its effects fully yet? Not even close
Is there any sign that we are close to this ending with any kind of strategic victory? None at all

And you're a fucking idiot. I didn't sign the petitions in the expectation it would change things. I signed it because when faced with a weeping 70 year old woman whose son is in Evin, it's the decent thing to do.

I'm ok with the government investing as long as it's voted upon. Who voted for this?

77,302,169 people. Because that's how a representative democracy works. People vote by proxy.
For more of a civics lesson, if this was a decision by the senate then 77,302,169 people voted for it.
If this was a decision by the president then 77,302,169 voted for it, but their votes didn't all count equally due to the electoral college sitting in the process.

You don't get to micromanage your government, that's not how government works. People did however vote for it.

Does that mean we are nationalizing this technology? Because that's sure what that sounds like.

I don't want to waste my time calling out Republicans on hypocrisy. Republicans are quite simply not capable of experiencing the combination of shame and self-awareness associated with hypocrisy. So they are basically immune to it.

When a Republican calls out hypocrisy they don't actually know what the hypocrisy is, but they have seen a pattern where people get upset when they say certain things and Republicans love making people upset.

Comment He absolutely does not (Score 4, Insightful) 45

Trump does one of two things. In this case he was most likely just soliciting a bribe. He probably put some things in the order he knew some of the people with money didn't like and sat back and waited until they opened their checkbooks.

But the other thing he does is push the absolute limits of what he can get away with, go past those limits, get his hand slapped just a tiny bit by the court and then back off a little bit after establishing a new normal where he can commit more crimes and we all just shrug it off because he's making America great again.

So somebody draws the line, he doesn't just step over it he gets in his golf cart and drives a quarter mile over it then the courts yell at him and he backs his golf cart up a few hundred feet but he is still over the line.

False. W Bush II had less EOs than W Bush I.

Both Obamas had less than both W Bushes.

Then Trump attempted to match Jimmy Carter's insanely high number, but only became the biggest abuser but only became the worst president in 40 years (what a loser, beaten by a Democrat at ruling by decree)

Then Biden dropped down to a number between Obama II and W Bush I bringing us back to reasonable levels. It was such a lovely sleepy time.

Then Trump WENT ABSOLUTELY FUCKING INSANE and blasted through his previous 4 year number in under a year very much putting him on target to sign more EOs than Truman did nearly a century ago.

No each admiration doesn't get worse. They flip back and forth having hit a number not too different from their past numbers (for that political party) with the Democrats slightly better than the republicans on average over the past 40 years, keeping a trend that was perfectly normal right until King Trump II took office last year.

That is in high demand and has no sign of losing that demand. The problem with SpaceX is that they have maxed out their demand. They don't have any more customers to grow into. There are just only so many people on this planet who want or need to launch satellites. And you can only launch so many anyway before you start having problems.

That's the difference. You seem to be trying really really hard to hand wave away the coming disaster. I don't blame you. This is bad shit. Also it's really hard for nerds to turn on Elon Musk because he feels like one of us that made good. He's not but it feels that way because he's so weird and awkward that we relate to him on a personal level
