and literally every Uber driver drove an EV

That's because EVs are perfect for taxis. Many short distances, never far from a charging point and time inbetween rides where you can recharge in the supermarket parking lot while getting a bite to eat. And in the city, with stop-and-go traffic, EV are much better at handling that than ICEs who hate that. Plus the lower cost-per-km-driven matters even more when it's a profit margin thing.

As to Nvidia's board: he's admitted what he did: he should have been fired instantly

Why?

Seriously, I get you are personally outraged, but that's not a reason. Has he mismanaged funds? Is his strategy failing the company? Is he driving key persons away from NVidia? Has he sold out to competitors?

they've abdicated their fiduciary responsibility

Which one, exactly?

I think the specs and the engineering are related.

It was supposed to be a new way to make light stiff cars.

It ended up being a unibody with wedges glued on. The look was a product of the engineering originally.

In the end it was a weirder looking Ridgeline.

Considering it mentioned MS I assume this is a warning for enterprise infrastructure and not retail.

I think (hope?) Amazon has had enough outages that people are semi diversified away from it. But who knows.

The half day Amazon goes down/slows up every year or so I think keeps people on their toes from fully relying on it.

"most people do not seem to mind ads in the product."

Has this dude even tried to use the Internet without ad blockers recently?

I had to check something online on someone else's computer a while back. If that were my daily experience, I'd quit the Internet. People "don't mind" - my ass. People either block ads or don't know how to block ads. That's the two groups. The group "doesn't mind" only exists in that person's head. And I bet he isn't in that group himself.

Comment Re:Trump a "lame duck" president? (Score 1) 715

Those who believe a Democrat Congress (or the courts) will be able to significantly derail Trump agenda are naive.

Even more if you think they'll roll back the power grabs and demolishing of democratic institutions. Both parties like having unregulated power, just not in the hands of the other.

The number is at least credible and not far off from the optimistic studies of actu productivity gain.

This isn't "we're laying off 40% and we'll do more". An 11% productivity gain is in the realm of reasonable.

You're probably right, but this headline does look a lot diffy than other AI layoff headlines.

so they really and truly get a transformative benefit from these projects

Except that they don't. Data centers create a tiny number of jobs and not for the people who usually are looking for a job in rural communities, they don't draw in visitor, tourists or other kinds of customers for local business, they don't create any product that the community would benefit from - what benefit is he talking about, much less "transformative" ?

Comment fuck them (Score 1) 133

they "understand that Ms. Crump did not ask to become part of this investigation," and that they recognize the "frustration of having a vehicle towed and subsequently damaged."

So many words for "lol, yeah that's a them problem, we don't give a shit".

That this is even a matter for insurance is pathetic. The police caused this to happen, it needs to pay the bill, in full, including any costs the innocent person had for the time they kept the vehicle illegally.

Once cases like this drain the police budgets, they'll have an incentive to actually do a good job instead of fucking around and offloading the cost of their stupidity on ordinary people.
