I think it's even more interesting, in that one or two humans have to decide whether to question a call, and they have to identify calls that were wrong, not just ones they want to overturn, and they don't have a great angle to figure out what the algorithm would do. I think it's going to be fun to see batters try to do the ump's job, while standing to the side and considering swinging at the pitch.

I think the real issue is warm parts of China selling to cold parts of India without including the features that aren't needed near the factory. We know lots about battery chemistry, but rural farmers have had more immediately relevant things to know about up to now and don't have a good source of information on this new thing the government is pushing, so they skip things that sound like luxuries and end up with something inappropriate for their purpose.

The cycle is more like:

"The economy sucks because of too much regulation, I can make it better!"
(things seems to improve for a while, but they relax too much regulation and destroy the economy)
(other side gets elected to clean it up, and spend years trying to fix it)
"Remember how bad the economy was under that other side? I can fix it!"
(and then we re-elect the party that keeps crashing the economy) ... this last time the candidate actually said "are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?". Yes, yes I am. I may not be employed now, but it wasn't the middle of a pandemic that you made worse by telling people yo rise up against measures trying to help hospitals get a handle on things and forced states to compete against each other for supplies... then stole them.

And not just the by the right.

Realized that the company was over valued, then used their stock to buy up Time Warner and such, so they actually had a legitimate value to their stock.

Of course, Yahoo tried it, too, but that didn't exactly pan out for them

The directors of (UMG) should be in jail for crime against humanity!

And no ... jailing their bots is not a good solution.

If a company commits a crime, the directors* should go to jail.

* "C suite" for Americans.

It has nothing to do with Citizen's United. It's a push by some groups (likely people who control corporations) to try to claim that corporations should have rights that we give to people.

If you give freedom of speech to corporations, then truth in advertising laws fall apart.

Corporations can have free speech once someone can figure out how to apply the death penalty to a corporation. Until then, it shouldn't have the rights of people.

Let's consider for a moment:

Imagine if a corporation can outright lie to you about what they're selling, and then claim free speech when they're found to be lying.

"Made in America!"
"Gluten Free!"
"Does not contain rodent droppings or insect parts above the legal limits set by the FDA"
"Will not cause hair loss"
"Does not cause birth defects"
"Will not record your sex life and then put it on unsecured servers" ...etc.

Its pretty clear that broadcast TV has no future - bits or no bits.

Taking productive farmland out of operation for solar farms is pretty damned stupid, but there's also farmland that's problematic: steeper slopes and odd topography can require crazy terraced plowing to reduce errosion issues; closer to waterways you need to worry more about fertilizer usage.

But there's also an alternative called "agrivoltaics" where you mix the two on the same land. It requires a lower panel density for the solar so sunlight still reaches the ground, then planting crops that prefer shade instead of full sun.

You also need to put the panels up high enough that tractors can get under them... so it's better for smaller scale farms that don't rely on massive tractors.

You can also mix some ranching with solar panels... you leave enough space between them so the grass can still grow, and use it as sheep or goat pastures.

Over the roads?

There's a company that supposedly can make "solar roads" (panels that you would drive on), but as well as I know they have nothing large scale. I would assume it would be better for commercial driveways (the roads leading up to the building), as it doesn't make sense to use a parking lot or similar that's going to be covered for long periods.

(solar panels above parking lots are fantastic... shades the cars and you don't get wet transitioning in/out of your car ... so long as you account for snow loads so they don't fall and crush whatever is below them)

There was also a project to try to put solar panels over rivers ... which would reduce evaporation to make sure more of it got downstream in arid regions. (but I think they're also trying to figure out how it affects vegetation and animals that might be near the river)

There have also been solar-thermal paving projects, where you take the heat from the parking lot and use it for heating water in the summer ... and they usually put in a ground loop for geothermal, so in the winter you can use it to melt snow and ice.

What you got was Alienating Incompetence.

(A nod is as good as a wink to a blind horse).

My understanding is that there's a market for old flip phones in Amish communities (as they typically ban smartphones, but it's okay to have a phone that you can shut off when you're at home), and there are some schools that have talked about banning smartphones so the kids can still get in contact with parents but not be playing games and using social media while at school. ... but models? No clue. The only one that I can think of is from old TV ads for jitterbug phones. (a special network/service for old people)

No, it's about foldable phones.

Whoever wrote the headline must be AI or young enough to not know there's a major difference between the two.
