There was a time when companies were satisfied to be very good at one or two things. Now companies feel it's required to be simple okay at everything.

I am almost positive I saw that robot skating down the path in Venice Beach.

Or was that just a street performer dressed as a robot.

Jeez.. no shit that BEV won't work for everyone, just like everyone doesn't need a full size pickup truck.... though that hasn't stopped a big chunk of the population from getting one.

I drive my BEV 500 miles one way to visit my family 3 to 4 times a year. Yes, not as convenient as a regular car or a hybrid but I can make it work.

It's nonsense to indicate the size of the US as a non factor for getting an EV unless it's a work vehicle and you are putting 30k miles per year on it.

How is a parent meant to add software to a locked down school provided chrome book? Admin access is usually required for that.

I don't think Trump campaigned that hard.

The biggest problem is Republicans spent the past 2 years hitching themselves to the Trump bandwagon and praising everything he did. The most effective ad for governor in Georgia was simply a compilation of clips of Rick Jackson saying how he was going to be like Trump and be his favorite governor.

Blind devotion propelled many Republicans into power (and probably wealth).. and now it's knocked many of them out of power (but they probably still benefited financially)

What American products?

Whataboutism doesn't make sense in this situation since there are limited American brands still made in America.

Well - religion has been used for a lot of silly exemptions in the US... so why the fuck not here

Only benefit I've seen so far is helping with powerpoint slides. It takes longer to prompt and verify data set analysis than it would take me to do it manually.

No it doesn't.

You don't understand what the word "majority" means, do you?

Trump - 77,302,580 (49.8%) Harris - 75,017,613 (48.3%)

Neither candidate had a majority.

Neither doordash or instacart are necessary services for 99.99% of the population. Convenient, yes, required, no. If consolidation results in higher prices, everyone that uses it as a luxury will simply decide to stop being lazy and pick up their own food.

Maybe a reason why I was financially stable straight out of university was because I saw services like this as a waste of my money. Anyway, except for pizza and sandwiches, no food that is cooked and then had to be delivered tastes nearly as good as in the restaurant.

How much tax revenue do you believe these data centers will bring in?

I'm sure this will somehow become a tax write-off and he'll get a significant rebate on that tax return.

Then you need someone who knows business, not a professional grifter.

This is the most DEI administration in history. Outside the head of NASA, can't think of one appointee actually qualified to do their job.

How many crimes have been committed DUE to Flock cameras? How many abuses that may not have been criminal but were unethical?

In a society that touts freedom as much as we do, the bar should be set extremely high for such a technology. Right now it's the lowest, rotten hanging fruit.

I definitely don't like the idea of having everything plugged into the internet. In this case, a key benefit to the store would be knowing someone is monitoring 24/7. If a unit shows signs of failing, the company can get a repair person dispatched before any employee at the store would even know what was going on. If a unit fails and the store itself is responsible for monitoring and scheduling maintenance, that alone could lead to food spoilage or extra labor to move all the impacted items to another freezer unit.

Again - I'm not a fan of the IoT... but from a business perspective something like this makes sense. Selling food is not a high profit margin business... just losing a bit can wipe out a day's profit on a smaller store.
