If a vehicle has an effective range of 200 miles or less and it's putting up 250+ miles per day, it ain't just charging overnight.

Are you saying the FCC can't withdraw certification of a device at a later date?

The FCC has been interfering with our ability to use communications gear for many many years. You'd think you'd be used to it by now.

The FCC should probably require open firmware. That would take out a lot of the hassle of securing network devices.

Arts and Humanities are fine....as pursuits of the leisure class who don't need to make living from them, or for people who work for a living to enjoy as hobbies.

Everyone is free to enjoy arts and humanities, but it's cruel to encourage expectations of gainful employment and silly to expect to
make a living from them. Confusing jobs and careers with hobbies can be financially deadly, so I didn't.

Careers fund hobbies so you can enjoy both. For example I can afford to collect and restore classic motorcycles because I did not try to make it a business. In consequence I easily afforded a well equipped personal workshop instead of starving for years to establish a financially vulnerable business. Fixing fighters paid much better.

I've been a rider for about 15 years. The absence of shifting is one of the things which makes EVs significantly less fun (in both cars and bikes/scooters). Even video games and movies recognize this in how they implement futuristic EVs.

The clutch on a bike is also more important than the clutch on a car, and it's a big part of the feel of a bike. Motorcycle clutches are 'wet', you can be half-on and half-off clutch. This is useful for helping control against engine torque to the wheels, 'engine braking' as well as controlling launch. For anyone accustomed to riding, it's a necessary feature, because it's literally how motorcycles work. Remove it and it doesn't feel like the same thing; it removes a lot of the enjoyment and tactility of the activity, and subsequently the enjoyment, of controlling a machine. It feels like you're doing something (and you are).

EVs feel more like a railcar, it's the exact opposite of the freedom of movement that motorcycles give you.

You do have people doing that in the UK, but it is more people with million pound incomes.
I also lived in the midwest and never had seasonal cars. Now I have a car and a truck. I drive the car unless I need the truck.

See above reply, that ain't gonna work except for the lightest of light duty vehicles.

How? Commercial vehicles can rack up hundreds of miles per day depending on the nature of the work. And if they gotta haul then range goes way down. They'll be plugged in during the day.

It's going to be particularly unpleasant for those using Graviton instances at AWS. You can't buy off-the-shelf replacements that actually compete well (yes I know about Ampere but Amazon is ahead of them, even after the ARM buyout).

The US has been spying on European leaders and people for years, and American cloud providers were just as much a liability during the Biden Presidency as they are now.

What the EU countries are doing is decades late.

There's not an agency in the US government at this point which doesn't drastically manipulate its data to fit either internal politics, or political party agendas.

The problem at AWS is that they largely don't have 'core competencies' anymore, and haven't realized it yet.

They used to be a company which embraced new ways of doing things and doing small, agile things quickly. That hasn't been the case for half a decade now - in part due to cultural changes pushed from the top, but largely hasn't been the case for a while.

You'd think a cloud company with a fully distributed global infrastructure would have been one of the forefront proponents of remote work, and they did lean in on that a little bit at first, but quickly reversed course - in part due to the kinds of people they'd started hiring in excess not working. Those people are predominantly NOT the traditional hard charging, results-oriented people they used to hire, and are instead people who seem to prefer meeting over doing.

The more computers can replace humans the more they will replace humans.

The ideal business has no workers. Humans are expensive, unreliable, easily corrupted, lie, cheat and steal and are frequently incompetent.

It's silly to trust other nations with one's data because the nation one made friendly arrangements with can replace the administration you trusted and purge its appointees.

Europe should not want any but FOSS because proprietary software only belongs to its creator. To use it is submission to its owners. The cost to European governments to code any software required is a trifle compared to relying on the kindness of their enemies.

No non-corrupt reasons exist to want the shackles of proprietary software. That's like wanting proprietary speech.
