Since when does private party A doing something "unlawful" compel private party B to take some action?
Ever since the first time someone pointed a loaded gun as B's face and said "do what I say or else I'll kill you" and B did as ordered, instead of accepting their death.
I think it was sometime around 1234567 BC.
Have you followed-through and seen what Destin is charging for that knick-knack? Yes, it seems to be a nicely-designed grill brush. But it is a frelling grill brush. It doesn't need to be high-tech.
And it most certainly doesn't need to cost over $75 when a Chinesium version is $20.
Yeah, losing de minimus kills a number of little DIY electronics projects for me. It just is not worth the pain. Make American Stupid Again.
Utility profit margins are regulated, not energy costs. When generation cost goes up (for the last incremental MWH), your rates go up by that much plus the utility's margin. When a utility makes a capital investment they apply for a rate case with regulators to increase their profit margin. Win-win for the utility company.
As bad as 2FA over SMS is, that doesn't stop it from being widely used. I can see a lot of messages ending up there.
Apple already extracts those and offers to fill them in, so I don't think that will be an issue.
The California PUC requires large consumers to pay their connection costs-- line and substation upgrades for starters. Paying for generation upgrades as well is a pretty easy provision to force as well.
What it will ultimately do though is combine (or at least couple) combined cycle turbines with data centers for the majority of capacity. Expect big rushes to build data centers on Indian reservations and states with lax emissions regulations.
Thinking of the void as an analogy to a gas is misleading, that's why your supposition doesn't work.
The universe is expanding, everywhere, as far as we can tell. Without any evidence to the contrary (and a fair bit of evidence supporting it), the expansion is constant, everywhere, and is described by a value called, you guessed it, the Hubble Constant. Most recently, however, a handful of different measurements have suggested two disparate values for the Hubble Constant, resulting in what's known as the Hubble Tension ("tension" because the two values appear to be being measured correctly, but are not the same).
The idea in this paper, as far as I understand it, is that there are large-scale fluctuations in mass distribution, and we happen to be in a local minimum compared to the average across the universe, thus a local void. Since the Universe isn't filled with a gas under pressure (at least to first approximation), there isn't a grand rushing-in to fill that void. Rather the opposite: the relatively higher density elsewhere is pulling harder by its larger gravity than the mass in our local neighborhood, creating a local anomaly in the large-scale gravitational field, pulling us outward. This local anomaly appears as a local increase to the Hubble constant, adding on to the underlying Hubble expansion. We are, locally, expanding slightly faster than the Universal average.
This local effect might explain the two measurements for the Hubble Constant, one in our region of the Universe which is affected by the local paucity of mass, and one across greater expanses of the Universe where the lumpy distribution of mass is evened out by the law of large numbers.
A few things for sure. Ostensibly, Norway has a diversified economy, but the dominant driver for soverign wealth really is oil. They have insanely high taxes-- a beer is $15 at a bar or $7 in the government monopoly liquor store. They do a good job with housing though, keeping costs quite affordable.
They import a lot of workers who end up paying additional taxes to fund the government and growth, but hard to really tell how sustainable that is.
I read the article to see why black holes in particular would be a useful way of determining position in space, rather than, say, a handful of stars.
The answer is that they aren't just using any black holes, but the ultra-massive black holes at the center of galaxies which spew lots of radiation from their accretion discs, so are bright in radio frequencies, and are far away and have limited self-motion since they are at the center of their galaxies, so are stable from our vantage point.
Someone correct me if I got that wrong.
PHBs have a reputation for stupidity, often well deserved.
AI promises to do all the grunt work, so it has the potential to make everyone into little more than a PHB.
This is step 1 in trying to sell their flailing business. They obviously don't expect any more growth or they'd stick with running their own servers. Buyers want to know they can carve up the company easily, so migrating to a public cloud gives them some assurances this is possible. They're certainly hoping to get scooped up on their disintegrating brand awareness before there's no value left.
My company tried to buy them out. They responded:

I don't get excited by SWA saying 'derp we are not going to use AI for pricing or revenue managment' either.
He's lying through his teeth. Revenue management has used ML for a loooong time to set things like price of different fare buckets, number of seats released to different fare buckets, exactly when seats are released to specific fare buckets, how many seats to hold back, how many instrument-supported upgrades to allow (e.g., upgrade certificates), how many complementary upgrades to allow, etc., forget things like schedule and route planning, and so forth. All three of the big US airlines are already using dynamic pricing on reward tickets such that you get a different price if you're logged in to their web site versus doing it anonymously.
So, again, lying through his teeth.
That would be an interesting law to pass: You can only publish a WARN list if the CEO is on it....
