I've played this dance in other industries.

They will buy just enough from Arizona to keep it viable and show diversification, while buying most of it from Taiwan.

Arizona will probably be running a few batches a week, which keeps the processes in place and ensures that the knowledge is maintained and it is a viable source.

This might be 5% (made up number), 95% remains with Taiwan. The higher price impact is minimised, impacts on market etc. They might even be able to sell most of them as premium US products for defence and friends, or into the general US market to avoid tariffs.

It provides the safety net. If something happens they can relatively easily turn to knob and rapidly shift more production to Arizona because the initial set up work has all been done. But until then they will be minimizing quantity and maximising headlines.

This is only good for the large investment firms. It's terrible for us little people. Terrorist attack at 3AM? All the institutions will have systems (and people) up at 3AM and immediately sell off. All of us regular joes will wake up to being broke.

I'd say this is something the administration should fix/regulate... but well, we know that they don't care about the little guys.

>"The fact that Mozilla allowing this to happen tells me that they are no longer effective at their mission."

1) They aren't "allowing" anything to happen. There is no setting in Firefox or Thunderbird that says "yeah, please record all my stuff." This is/was a Microsoft decision. No such problem on any other platform. 2) Why should it be up to the APPLICATION to decide to block this privacy raping? 3) How long has this option to ask this specific OS not not record been out? It is a little soon to "condemn" Mozilla for not having this single-platform hackery option yet. Recall, itself, is still just a preview. For all we know, the entire thing might evaporate in a few months. 4) If you are really concerned about privacy, I would first point at the OS this whole thing is about.

Can't have WW3 if everyone is busy arguing on the Internet. *taps temple knowingly*

I've never seen so many 3XL tactical vests until Jan 6th. I really don't see a reason to be afraid of most of the alt-right and far right these days.

If you want to fight fascism, just open a fried chicken restaurant and pay for weekly regular ads on Doordash. On Friday nights, offer a free 2L of Mountain Dew Code Red with every double bucket order.

Define communism.

Have you actually read Marx's manifesto or any of his other works? Did you understand them?

I have... a translated version anyway... and I did... the English translation, though I admit it may not live up to original German. And I would guesstimate that maybe only one in twenty people who use the words communist or communism have read Marx's little manifesto, much less understood any of it. And I don't just mean you and the rest of the MAGA types with your empty accusations. I also include the actual self-labeled "communists" and "socialists" I have known or met in my life. In fact, I would guesstimate that even fewer of the people who call themselves communists know what it means than the people dishing out false accusations. To most of the ones I have ever encountered; "communism" and "socialism" entail buying a $40 Che Guevara t-shirt from store or vendor on Telegraph Ave, entirely missing the irony, growing out dreadlocks, smoking a lot of pot, and hanging out in front of Blakes and Fat Slice pissing off their parents by throwing away their tuition money.

Communists and communism are stupid, sure. But so are the accusations of, hysterics about, and feeling threatened by, them.

I debate the word "communism" in my mind all of the time. To me it represents the values of give what you can, and take what you need. To me it is what the Star Trek Universe is made of. I would like the Human race to get to the Star Trek Universe. All that we would have to care about is the choice to become an Engineer, a Captain, or a Botanist. But... that is communism.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?... This is an excellent and mostly to the point demonstration of just how simple it is to generate AI slop that would not sound at all out of place on a top 40 radio station.

H1B visa requirements should raise the minimum amount of pay to $500k a year. Currently it is a minimum of $60k with a difference in cost of living. This is why you see a lot of H1B workers in lower CoL areas. If you can't find a person in the United States that can do a job then the non-American person(s) taking that work must be top-talent and/or have skills nobody possesses.

He already tried that. The problem Trump is facing is juggling the expectation of the wider international community with that of Putin's hand up his arse.

Because someone else got the alert and recognized the vehicle pulling up to the store and just saved a life that way.

Trump slashed staff to FEMA and other emergency alert systems which delayed the response. We have also had 20 years of cuts to the data that FEMA and other federal agencies are allowed to access because they were very inconvenient to the oil companies. So for example the kids that died at that camp eight of the 17 cabins were in a known high-risk area according to government reports but the government reports didn't include current climate change related data so 9 of the cabins that were all so at high risk weren't included in that. of course this is all include point because if you've got 8 cabins in a high risk flood zone the other nine are probably not safe either. But the right wing is already splitting hairs to blame FEMA so they can shut it down. Oh and the governor of Texas is currently working hard to get money from FEMA while also working hard to shut down fema. He is literally on Trump's board that was set up to disable and destroy FEMA so that the money from it could be pocketed by billionaires. Bottom line this is Trump's fault. And the fault of the Republican party that let him do it. We all know it and we're all going to sit around here while disingenuous assholes derail the conversation in a variety of ways to deflect blame from Trump and his political party. If you live in a place that disasters can strike just know now that you will have little or no warning and little or no help to recover. If you're a child I am fucking so sorry that my generation fucked up so bad for you. If you're a Democrat or even a non-voter given what I know about voter suppression you did what you could. If you voted republican, well have the day you voted for.

Congratulations. You're the reason pests creep into other people's homes or invasive weeds overrun people's properties by forcing out native plants.

If you don't care about your lawn then move to the desert where you don't have to worry about such things. There are those who want a nice green lawn or lots of flowers for pollenators.

Sure, Jan.

It is totally credible that an outfit that uses "AI" for everything else isn't using it to also fake the papers.

Tell me more about that bridge that you're also selling.

I am still alive. I think they are a quality company.

As an American, I find this concept offensive.
