Comment Nobody wants this thing...nobody (Score 5, Informative) 47

And yet they continue to try to push it, like it's so important for them to screenscrap all of us and record our lives.

I don't even understand the argument from the management side. Like, this is a security risk in their own production environment, why would they think it's a good idea in a broader environment.

Comment Re:Battery capacity is energy, not power (Score 1) 187

You are understanding it incorrectly.

The definition you are pointing at is for generation capacity. The numbers in this article are storage capacity.

Line from the government source for the number:

"In July 2024, more than 20.7 GW of battery energy storage capacity was available in the United States."

The person who wrote the article made an incorrect statement because they compared two different types of measurements and the commenter your replying to is correct.

"That not withstanding, Wilson's statements are based on legal facts, and her opinion that Khan has already ruined any sense of impartiality is at least a logical opinion given her statements."

Which legal facts? I read the entire opinion piece and she presents nothing. It's 90% rhetoric and 10% unconfirmed accusations.

Also, to call someone else bias and then only post links to heavily biased sources is like calling the pot calling the kettle black.

US Chamber of Commerce is heavily right-wing and so is the RealClearMarkets.com website.

You say "nobody is handing kids assault rifles" and yet literally the shooting being discussed had the assault rifles bought by adults and given to the kid.

So, you are wrong.

Either stop speaking in absolutes or stop spreading disingenuous arguments. You're not helping any side of the discussion.

Krebs is a pretty big creep. He changes his articles often many times after publishing without explanation and deletes comments on his articles that poke holes in his narrative.

So, what you see in the article today might not be what was in the article originally and half of the post was probably submitted by readers.

Comment Re:Seized account and crushed truck (Score 2) 263

So, you're saying a government crushed a working automobile with working parts after it being impounded for less than a week?

Seems very implausible.

No information comes up searching for any of the name and location mentioned either even though I am sure if this were true there would be lots of drama posts on social media.

Currency is not debt. Gold and silver are not currency, they are commodities that were used as currency standards.

Removing convertibility of a currency to a commodity is not a default, albeit could be argued a devaluing depending on the circumstances.
