offering an encrypted cloud and had no way of taking backup
Which is, of course, nonsense. Nothing stops you from making a copy of encrypted data. What sucks is that for a backup, you likely can't do incremental.
My battery mower is one of my favorite purchases. No oil changes, no gummed up carbs, no worrying about running out all the old gasoline in the fall. Pop in the battery and go.
What is the government doing? They were supposed to move production and factories to America and open up more jobs here. There was supposed to be more demand for American Made and more incentives.
Instead the government is making the market unpredictable and businesses are failing because of it. Projects can't even get started in America.
What are they going to do about all this now?
It was always about the grift. https://www.forbes.com/profile...
It's incredible that people living in a run down double wide sent that guy money.
The report was written by Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Of course they're going to blame remote work because their commercial property might decline in value.
That's funny because without lonely creepy men those cam sites would evaporate.
Don't worry, RFK Jr. will put a stop to this! That or tell people to drink whole milk and take ivermectin.
Watch how this will turn into something to push grok instead.
Israel would shoot them down.

"Powertech -- Twenty years to widespread fuel cells, PV, wind, microturbines, etc.
Source: My general reading in this area, like my previous post on energy issues.
The referenced energy post by me from 2000: https://dougengelbart.org/coll...
"The current land area used in the US related to fossil fuel mining, refining, storage, and distribution is roughly 1% of the US land area. So, it is not fair to say renewables would use a similarly large amount of area and disregard this amount of space used by conventional techniques. For example, the area under existing power lines in the US (for right of ways - a huge expanse) is sufficient to generate all electric power used in the US if it was covered with photovoltaics.
There are no easy answers, but remember the incredible number of people who use energy (all of us) and the large numbers of people who are already involved with the energy industry in some way. So, there are many people to implement solutions. Don't be too overwhelmed by large numbers and costs. If fossil fuel and nuclear solutions were fairly priced today in terms of external costs like tax subsidies, environmental damage, and military requirements, we would see an immediate switch to alternatives and more energy efficient technology.
For that reason, I am quite hopeful for our energy future -- especially if developing countries can be given advanced technology, rather than having them simply duplicate the current antiquated American fossil fuel infrastructure. Unfortunately, the politics and finances of development often entail developing nations being sold the technology that no one wants anymore in the developed world (like for example DDT or old nuclear reactor and dam designs).
We need to figure out ways to prevent that from happening with energy technology the same way it has happened in the past with other technologies.

"As I've said before, if you look at the exponential growth of renewables, in twenty to thirty years we will be completely running off renewables. This [questionable "Net Energy Limits and the Fate of Industrial Society"] report is like a report in the 1980s saying there is no way that most people will own cell phones because only about a million people a year are buying cell phones and it would take seven thousand years for everyone to get a cell phone at that rate. But now half the Earth's population does have cell phones? What happened? Exponential growth."
Ray Kurzweil also predicted exponential solar growth back in 2000 or so.
So yeah, who would have thunk it?
I mean, it's not like there might have been financial incentives for industry groups to provide misleading predictions, right?
"Why Does the IEA Always Underestimate Solar Energy's Rapid Growth?"
https://247wallst.com/energy/2...
"Using data from the agency's World Economic Outlook (WEO) for 13 of the past 16 years, Hoekstra graphed the actual growth of solar PV installation (the thick black line on the following chart) against the IEA predictions from the WEO. The starting point for each year's new prediction moves higher and in some years sharply higher. Hoekstra notes that "every single time since the future of photovoltaics was first predicted in the IEA WEO in 2002, the WEO has assumed the sector would hardly grow or even contract, even though this runs contrary to the observed reality."
Because the IEA's WEO is a widely used source for policy makers around the world, consistently underestimating the growth of solar PV when the data say otherwise discourages investment in solar and can hold back even faster growth.
Hoekstra, in a blog post last June, offers some possible explanations for the IEA's low and inaccurate predictions:
In your case it might simply be that there was not enough of this kind of tasks in the training data.
Even that architecture is getting sucked into the AI bullshit. This was just released last week and it's the fastest board so far. https://cdn-resource.spacemit....
Just read her Wikipedia article. Should have thought of that sooner. Thanks for the push.
Yup, 2016 was the most recent crime she was convicted of, and it says terrorism in Germany does have a statute of limitation.
Thank you. Answers a lot of questions, such as did they artificially age 40-year old photos for the facial recognition.
Far as I know, there is no statute of limitations for major crimes like murder and terrorism. But it varies by state and has varied over time.
