heh. So the ATM will have to ask the age along with your PIN to comply. And, who is using the router, or smart plug, etc? These day's it's OS's all the way down to the turtles.

The Trump Random Tax generator, at this instant in time, says.... "25% tariff on all Koren products". By the time you read this it might be different. An EV, while certainly any EV specific taxes apply to it, gets at least the overall rate. Unless it's one of the products or companies to have suitably bribed our Dear Leader, in which case it would have an exemption. It would proably have to have an extra large bribe because EVs don't burn dinosaur juice, though, and those companies have paid a lot to keep their market share.

Then they'd have to admit their lies about who's actually paying for this tax.

That's actually something I've always wanted to be able to do with my robot vacuum. Not all the time, mind you, but it would be fun to drive around with a joystick on occasion, or use it to play with the cat. So I can understand the guy's original motivation :)

they're trying hard to get to the vii-th release, been stuck on vi for years.

To what extend do you consider the many hundreds of reactors operated by navies around the world "Small Modular Reactors"? I would agree that there aren't many civilian versions out there yet, but there's an awful lot of experience out there with the things in the "cost isn't really a priority" design space.

It's become even more obviously a scam when it received the support of the scammer-in-chief. With his crypto being so obviously a nice pathway for bribery, credibility of any crypto gets questioned. Which is more harmful considering that it was never more than a betting market in the first place. At least with gold you've got a lump of stuff most people consider valuable, rather than hoping that some small set of people with money to burn buy more of the same stuff you did being the only value proposition.

Actually, Postscript is a programming language which is designed to draw text and vector graphic images for printers: so more analogous to today's gcode than an image format. I've even seen someone write postscript to do a linear regression fit on the plot being printed. Why? Because it was possible :)

Be careful this. Sure, stuff will transfer. But, that won't mean you get two years off your four year degree.

Why?

Because for most majors, there are specialized courses for that major that will happen during the first two years: often ones that are needed for upper level third and fourth year classes. Two year schools don't offer them. So, transfer students often spend their first year catching up on such courses (eg, sophomore level special relativity and quantum mechanics for a physics major), then they're set to dive into the upper level classes.

"How awful of you elitist university people!!!", you say.

But: should we hold off on offering non-general education classes to our own students, refusing to engage them with interesting classes needed to learn more advanced stuff? That would be malpractice to our existing students.

You don't need AI to find holes in a GW rules set, you just need to play one once :)

The IP issues mentioned above are probably legit: GW exists because it creates a lot of IP and zealously protects it.

No - it was still majority European funding at that point: even in absolute terms, not counting for GDP to aid normalization (which really tilts the stats). Since then, the US has stopped and the EU has tried to ramp up to full the hole, true. But it was never a majority US operation.

It was also somewhat self-serving all along: less cash handed out to Ukraine, more cash to US factories to make the stuff to send over. Which is a reasonable way to do it (jobs for people in Alabama munitions factories AND artillery shells to shoot at Russians!), but somehow escapes the notice of critics.

My EV6 has a 77kwH battery, so 0->100% would be 462kW to charge in 10m (1/6 of an hour). Given that I can pull 230kW off a DC fast charger, can't do that in 10m but can in 20m. (To be fair, that's the peak of the charging curve, so I don't get that for all 20m. But I'm also usually charging from 20%->80%, so less than 20m is indeed the typical L1 charger stop length on a road trip: about the same time it takes to unload the bladder and go buy something to refill it with for the next several hours of the trip).

They're absolutely sandboxed. But the regulation still doesn't like them.

For what it's worth, segments of the govt mandate ipv6 usage. The Dept. of Energy has done so. Which actually causes problems for large installations of legacy and specialized equipment such as particle physics labs. Trying to get many many old embedded devices to talk ipv6 just because it would be nice to do so isn't worth doing when you're in your own non-routable address space anyway.

They come from Denmark, not China. Oh wait, we hate Denmark now too, I forgot! Because annexing Greenland is on the todo list.
