Right? How is this even an issue? The article is very poorly written, and aside from this obvious issue it also inadvertently mentions time travel:

No, you're mistaken. If you're running a 100kW mining rig, then you're putting out 100kW of heat. The energy creates crypto on its way to being heat, but *all* of that power becomes heat in the end.

The Tesla global HQ moved to Austin, and it's staying there. The rest of the operations at the Tesla Fremont factory never left California.

This story is not about Tesla moving anything back to California, it's about them opening a new Engineering HQ.

While this may be true, it's irrelevant for 99.99% of all driving. Nearly all traffic is super predictable being just regular traffic on paved roads. Having a manual transmission is a hindrance in these circumstances. Very few drivers are good enough, and have the specific 0.01% use case to have a need for manual.

I can drive manual. It's what I learned driving on. I hate it, and I would never buy one myself.

I've been using TikTok for about a year now, and I have yet to see a single ad. Is this a regional thing?

My son was able to bring his Galaxy's Edge light saber as carry-on on an international flight this summer. The handle part of it is a pretty decent chunk of metal, so we packed that in our checked-in luggage.

I can wholeheartedly recommend the attraction. Storm troopers, and rebels walking around in character and interacting with guests. It's really well done.

>Do you believe rehabilitation is impossible or do you want revenge?

I don't believe that someone who commits mass murder can be rehabilitated, no. It isn't about revenge; it's about public safety.

Someone once pointed out that hoping a rapist gets raped in prison isn't a victory for his victim(s), because it somehow gives him what he had coming to him, but it's actually a victory for rape and violence. I wish I could remember who said that, because they are right. The score doesn't go Rapist: 1 World: 1. It goes Rape: 2.

What this man did is unspeakable, and he absolutely deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. If he needs to be kept away from other prisoners as a safety issue, there are ways to do that without keeping him in solitary confinement, which has been shown conclusively to be profoundly cruel and harmful.

Putting him in solitary confinement, as a punitive measure, is not a victory for the good people in the world. It's a victory for inhumane treatment of human beings. This ruling is, in my opinion, very good and very strong for human rights, *precisely* because it was brought by such a despicable and horrible person. It affirms that all of us have basic human rights, even the absolute worst of us on this planet.

This is precisely why I lost all interest in Oculus the instant I heard that it had been acquired by Facebook.

This is good advice, and gives me an opportunity to speak to the community at large: some of us who go to cons and are in a position to shake tons of hands politely decline. It's not because we're being dicks, it's because we know it's a good way to substantially decrease our chances of catching and spreading any germs.

I played the PAX Pandemic game, where the Enforcers handed out stickers to attendees that read [Carrier] [Infected] or [Immune] (There was also a [Patient Zero].

I got the [Immune] sticker, and by the time I got home on Monday, it was clear that I had the flu. I've had a fever between 100 and 104 all week that finally broke last night, but I'm going to the doctor today because I think whatever I had settled into my lungs. I'll tell him about the H1N1 outbreak and get tested if he wants to run the test, but at this point I think it's safe to assume that I was [Immune] to the Pig Plague, but definitely [Infected] with the damn PAX pox.

Even though it's been a week of misery, it was entirely worth it, and I don't regret going to PAX for a single second.

This is why my motto (and fundamental rule for life) is Don't be a dick: it's simple to understand, and reasonable people can agree on what it means.
