The great thing about lawsuits is that you can easily countersue, and then both sides get full discovery of everything the other side has.
That's not how that works. That's how the left wishes it worked so they can do more canceling, but no.
I would gladly see Exxon and all other oil companies and refineries leave the state. Fuck them. But they won't because they make billions here, and because California would just buy more electric cars, hastening the inevitable demise of fossil fuels.
As for California's special blends of fuel, they do reduce air pollution and should be mandated nationwide.
As someone who works in energy finance, I can assure you that waving your hands around "they make billions here" is inaccurate. As a percentage of their total footprint, California is small. And California is already so onerous that even my employer is HIGHLY reluctant to recommit a dime to California after we finally exited or last asset there.
They are not. The thermal signature show you are using power. You can be running ASICs in order to train LLMs.
Did you miss the part where they're limiting data centers/AI too? They're trying to limit high-draw+low-human endeavors, not just crypto.
And if they're sleeping on the job (OT or not) well that's up to management to handle. They (not the union) have the common-law right to discipline workers for their job performance.
...yea...that's not how that works.
Part of this decline is MBA-driven.
Beancounters ruin every shop they run, whether it be Boeing, or any ones that I've worked at where Mr. Money Bags controls IT.
In shops that Mr. Moneybags (CFO) do not control IT I've noticed things are much better for IT.
As someone who works at the crossroads of finance and oil&gas, I've often said "these clowns don't know how to run an oil company, they know how to run a stock, and that's not the same thing." That behavior isn't limited to oil&gas. Even Musk has talked about MBAs "parachuting in" to management positions without the slightest clue what they're managing as a negative.
Unfortunately, running the stock is exactly what the shareholders are asking for, and is why they keep getting hired. The solution, of course, is no shareholders. Although the last major software developer taken private caused quite the uproar.
China's not winning because of some kind of hands off approach. They are winning because their governments forced an early switchover to electric and then also built the massive renewable energy supply needed to do that cheaply. That's the kind of active pro-business but also pro-national interest policy that got the US into the leading position it was in after WWII.
We aren't allowed to have pro national interest anything in the US. That's grounds for getting called a fascist, and shot in the neck.
If they are going to threaten all of us with violence, how is it wrong for us to respond in kind?
Redefining everything as violence is how we get dead Charlie Kirks, and soon civil war. Keep playing that game.
For getting at the stream sniping, shouldn't YouTube's own copyright flagging mechanisms suffice?
There shouldn't be any need to use the legal system if that worked
I don't think those mechanisms function on live content.
A bit of clicking and the research institute is funded by Octopus Energy Group which is funded by Octopus Group, a venture capital firm.
Suggestion here is to not report research paid for by venture capitalists for the same reason why
Obligatory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... where research is published because it agrees with a political viewpoint.
We need to get past this idea that the only unbiased source of research funding is federal dollars. Because guess what? They're biased too.
It may even cause companies to consider going back to hiring local talent and *gasp* actually doing career development.
One can only hope.
I haven't been to a Chuck-E-Cheese since the 1980s, I'm joking with my subject. I've seen them, but terrible pizza, old video games, no reason to go in.
It's not for you, it's for your kids. We've been to several birthday parties for the 4-7 age range there.
I am more bored than you could ever possibly be. Go back to work.
