They wouldn't pass an aptitude test, do 5 pushups, or contribute anything other than MORE GREED for their personal ego and "shareholder value."
That is not what the military is above.
This is yet more grift, tit for tat, and selling access to government and the military industrial complex.
Fuck Trump.
Yeah, 20%-60% "could be" ghosts. Sure, just like ghosts voting.
Any stat with a margin of error that high is just political puffery in preparation for killing off student aid.
We don't want educated people here. Defund science, burn books, imprison librarians.
All hail the King Orange.
Clearly someone wants a government handout to build more.
You don't need "new" cables or "bigger cables." Cables are limited by their ampacity, or "amp capacity" or current carrying. So you an up the votage, delivery more Watts (kilo, mega, giga, etc) without changing the cables.
In other words the original artile is a grift attempt and not written by anyone
Pros: You can run more power through the same lines. You don't need new cables, new towers, or a lot of money.
Cons: You need new transformers (upconvert downconvert to/from higher voltage), and you can't burty the lines because of the resistance leading to heat factor.
This has NOTHING to do with "clean energy" anything. It's the same infrastructure in electricity delivery. The transformers get upgraded, but they'd have to be in any case. The power generation systems need to be upgraded to generate more power, but they'd have to be in any case.
This is an article to say "ClEAN ENERGY" and claim funds are needed for new delivery systems (cables, towers, substations).
No, it's not.
Ask anybody from an EE to an apprentice lineman. This is A/C power deliver 101.
STEP 1 - Build a company so pernicious that what Palantir would kill for you get willingly from billions of people.
STEP 2 - After having established your brand, change it to a really really stupid name. I like Neil Stephenson's 1992 Metaverse. Mark Zuckerberg's neuro-diverse (ha ha!) version is just a stupid name. One day someone will explain to him what "meta" means.
STEP 3 - AI? SUPER-AI? SUPER-AGURI AI?
STEP 4 - PROFIT
h/t Southpark: What's Step 3 again? Nobody knows.
Everyone has a method of learning but over time we've learned classrooms with one on one teacher interaction works.
Duolingo has not learned this.
I am trilingual and tried Duolingo for 180 days. I tried free, paid, etc. It did help me learn vocabulary words NOBODY KNOWS.
Like for example, "camarero" for waiter. Sorry, the word is "mesero." Or "Boligrapho" for pen. Sorry, the word is "Plume."
There's pronounciation. Duolingo has people saying the word Yo as "Joe". No, nobody says "Joe quiero taco bell." We say "Yo."
Also there's "Elle" which Duolingo pronounced "Ejje".
That's core language stuff. Then there's the site. Many times (Android, Linux, Crome, Firefox) it wouldn't let me click on a word.
Sometimes when I had to speak it wouldn't "recognize" one word and while I repeat it perfectly (with a fluent Spanish speaker at
my side) it refused to accept it.
I don't care if they use AI (LLMs) or humans or trained monkeys. It's a piece of crap.
All that is about the language learning part. Bad vocabulary, bad pronunciation, failure to recognize, and bad website.
But the damn thing emailed me daily "reminding" me to keep my "streak" going and "my friends'" streaks. I tried to turn
it off but to no avail.
Duolingo is a piece of crap. I credit them with teaching me vocabulary words nobody else knows, filling my mailbox with
exhortations, and generally being annoying.
Can't wait for their inevitable exit from the market.
I speak three languages. I wanted to be able to converse in Spanish. Half a year later I hate them so very very much.
These copyright maximalists start by ASSUMING that Copyright MUST exist and ignoring the social contract where we allow content creators some license in return for their contribution to society. Today's "amazing" copyrights that last nearly a CENTURY after the creator has died do nothing to provide an incentive to creators... only something to be monetized by these TERRORIST LEECHES who produced NOTHING but got government-granted rights to the NOTHING they produced so they can prevent true innovators (oh and AI mouthpieces) from access to that product.
But Congress is not about The Will of the People. It's about Big Lobbyists. Don't say "Big Pharma," "Big Tech," "Big Content," etc. Those are merely different verticals playing the same "Big Lobbyists" game, and EVERYONE is SUCKING THAT TEAT.
The next time you hear "Big XXXXX" just remember you've already accepted and agreed that XXXXX has rights they take from you and you're ok with that, and money goes from Big Lobbyists to traitors in Congress who sell our rights so they can get rich.
The Mickey Mouse charade and the Sonny Bono charade and the various "trade agreements" to get around our laws by "requiring" we "harmonize" our laws with the nonsense perpetrade by these a-holes in the rest of the world has led us.
Also known as the "Harvard Comma" (EN-US) and "Oxford Comma" (EN-UK) the Serial Comma bedevils people who have split opinions on it. See E.G.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
In Computer Science study we had an entire hour dedicate to how to interpret the following menu item(s):
Hamburger or hot dog and fries.
Is it:
1. A Hamburger by itself OR a hot dog AND fries
or
2. Either (Hamburger OR hot dog) AND fries
The whole "order of operations" thing we learned in school (you know, like PEMDAS) has different orders beause multiplication and division are the same operation, as are subtraction and addition. Exponentiation is a form of multiplication, and parenthetical expressions are explicit order of operation overrides. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
When a Serial Comma is inserted, it produces an ambiguity. Apple would like to interpret it one way, because it's worth billions of dollars to them. The EU would like to interpret it the other way for the exact same reason. Personal opinion -- I don't see this as Apple trying to "steal" or "rob" the EU nor the other way around. I see a poorly written law which now courts must interpret.
I'm serial.
When Meta wants to do its thing they do their thing. When they want to blame "the workers" for "being patriotic" they trot out technology to kill brown people, harvest intelligence, help ICE do on-street renditions.
Meta should just shut the fuck up. They have out eviled Google.
"Patriotic" means support of your country's concepts, not its military, its DHS, its ICE, it's wicked witches Noem and Blondi and Trumpi. No, it's support of those ideals that made the US great in the first place, not tawdry red hats worn by orange asshats.
15,000 devs working on 9M lines of code for one company that does nothing different than the other bazillion investment companies.
But CHATGPT SAVED THEM 280,000 hours. My division skillz suggests that is two days' work for those "15,000" supposed devs.
Wow, it saved two days.
Quick write up a PR puff piece.
Headline: "ChatGPT saved two workdays."
or
Headline "Devs told to take Saturday AND Sunday off. ChatGPT got this one, bro."
The 1970s are calling.
They say if you have any clue about IT you should have
- regular backups
You should
- restore those backups
You must
- Test those backups
Didn't do ANY OF THOSE THINGS? You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
T-MOBILE "price lock" means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
1. They change the rates
2. They add "fees" they make up
3. They are no longer the "un-carrier" just another company ripping off everyone they can as quickly as they can.
But hey, Slashdot can run their PR for them for free. GOOD JOB!!!
When the bad guys are breaking into your house and wanting to steal "all your monieZ" do you give a rat's ass what name they use?
NO.
NOBODY CARES. Scrappy Bear, ACT-1. Bogo-7. It doesn't matter. There are hackers. There are mitigations.
There are MANY organizations that track these and all have their own stupid numbers.
CVE. GTIG. IC3, etc.
Fix THAT first. Then when there's ONE CENTRAL ORGANIZATION we can trust, entrust it to provide useful information.
I'm not speaking for me. I'm speaking for Spanky-Bear. What? You haven't head of it? See my agency CFM.

The five people who think "British Humor" is funny and the seven people who think Doctor Who is relevant concide into a union of three people who give a rat's ass about this.
The Doctor is dead. The Daleks ran out of oil years ago. The TARDIS wasn't granted a license by the FAA. Billy is 75 years old.
Geezeus kids, get over it and go watch something modern like Knight Rider.
Science shouldn't have to do PR marathons and "Show & Tell" to "persuade" "the public" why its needed.
The Trump administration and their DOGGIES are idiotic anti-science worm-brain idiots.
1. SONARR (tv show finder) uses TVDB to find shows. It can then autofeed
2. SABNZBDPLUS (downloadaer). It can use various sources like bittorrent, usenet archives, etc to fetch the show and then
3. Jellyfin, Plex, Emby will serve those out to your browser, Roku, Apple TV
PROS:
- It's all automatic. All you have to do is find the show and choose your resolution settings and it will find episodes as they are
- It's service agnostic. It finds downloads, not which network originally aired them. No more Googling.
CONS:
- You have to wait for the show episode to air and someone to upload it
- It takes up disk space. Each 4K UHD episode of GOT was around 4GB. Fortunately disks are getting cheaper.
- You need a server -- BUT -- it can be a micro-PC or a NUC or a 2" x 2" x 1" server with a ton of ports and an external USB drive.
There are premade distributions but the choices above and the fluidity of new distros means that's where I stop and Google, LinuxQuestions, and Reddit can help.

p.s. I'm not advocating piracy. I'm advocating convenience.
