Of course not, I have it for the unlimited photo storage. 5000 photos for only about $99/year. A bargain.

They did that successfully for years, to the point of allowing, even encouraging, taping concerts and trading tapes. Damn hippies

I was at a Lidl in a small town off the Via Verde picking up some groceries and there were Americans there. I expect them in Lisbon but not some random small Portuguese town. As for the newest arrivals complaint, they are of course free to leave.

Those days are back. Hundreds of millions in fees for stuff that never works.

A better solution, IMHO, I to invest in a fab to ensure supply. That allows them to get access quickly to the latest fab tech, ensure some level of supply, as well as get a return form high demand products to teh point of constricting supply of stuff they make if the other stuff has a better ROI. A much lower investment risk, but I suspect anything available for investment may be overvalued right new due to RAM demand.

Such a serious clampdown would probably stifle legitimate criticism of the government or views that are "wrong" to avoid fines. Ultimately, the government can control the message by claiming "manipulation."

Countries ignored patents until their industry needed patent protection, now AI companies are following their lead.

Given Waymo's excellent record at avoiding problems I'm sure that will be trouble free.

All generation types should include that from source to disposal...

What ultimately killed nuclear is the spiraling construction costs, IMHO; making the cost per KwH uncompetitive, especially at low rated output. That's why the AP-600 became the AP-1000; and still wasn't built at the proposed cost. IF, and only IF, SMRs can be built at planned costs do they stand a chance of becoming commercially viable.

Till we get molds that like radiation. Seriously, Mother Nature is relentless in her quest to recycle and restore balance; and doesn't like being screwed with..

That's the new big thing in the suburbs. Suburban malls near me are dying, mainly due to new mixed use taking away the higher end shops, leaving anchor stores and empty retail space or low end stores selling TEMU junk at inflated prices. The only thriving malls are in more dense areas where a mixed use development is not feasible. I suspect the anchor stores at the dying malls will be shuttered and the retailers move to smaller focused mix use store/mall location or simply stay at the mall; or if there is enough space near a mixed use location build a stand alone store.

They don't compensate the commercial and residential properties for the problems they may cause, such as increased noise, traffic congestion, parking issues, odors, etc. It's a double edged sword.

90+ is a normal runtime for films, with some today running that long. Blade Runner, Lion King, Godfather Part II, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, High Noon, Paths of Glory. Years ago they even had an intermission.

Get a city to demand Flock let them do a security check with their own reserach and make the results public. If tehy are secure, I'm sure Flock will say OK, no problem...
