Everyone pile into the trades just in time for the next cyclic construction industry bust.

On your iPhone only. Not on my 6 HomePods around the house since we use HomeKit for home automation.

I dont know, but I don't think it takes $400m in AI contracts for it to tell you it was probably a bad idea to pick sides with a people who number 9 million, didnt have a nation until 1948, and require $320 billion dollars and all you military secrets, along with a morally reprehensible apartheid state and genocidal war to keep them from being driven into the sea; over a group with 2 billion people, enough oil to power the world, and 58 countries. Maybe we wouldn't need such an expensive "defense department" in the first place if we weren't constantly bombing other people for lulz of a few settlers.

Tim Cook != Steve Jobs

A COO is not the same as a CEO. A CEO has vision. A COO executes the vision effectively. A COO is not a visionary.

Siri is a freaking joke. I wish I could install ChatGPT into it rather than have Siri embarrassingly tell me to look at web results on my phone when I ask it something trivial. It can not take the simplest of complex requests (play jazz and turn on the lights in my kitchen). ChatGPT could have this working back since version 3.

Imagine trying to use AI to manage power outages, rather than trying to use AI to solve power outages. I live in California. They love power outages. Absolutely love them. The love crisis here because it means they get to show leadership and "manage". If they wanted to keep the lights on permanently, they would revert back to NEM 2.0, which is a fair and equitable metering policy. Instead, the state's CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) sided with the power companies, and not the good of the people they are supposed to represent, and made net metering a joke. You seriously are at times better off just remaining disconnected completely if you have battery for peak times and solar for production (I have 4 power walls and 10.5kw of solar). My home is on NEM2.0. If I add even one panel to my house, I have to switch to NEM3.0, which effectively would double my utility bill (from $4k to $8k a year), and that is IF I generate 100% of what I need. I designed my system without factoring EVs or putting in a pool, so it's dramatically undersized for my needs. We are a two car family, both with EVs. When we produce during the day, we send most of it back to the grid. That winds our meter backwards. When we charge at night (something the state begs us to do when power loads are high), we roll the meter forwards, and pay the price per KW at night rates. Our batteries carry us over the peak usage, and we send power generated to the grid at those same peak rates so it helps to offset the excess usage. The power company gets to sell my power generated to my neighbors, which is great, since they pay less to transmit it from me than from a generating station.

If I went to NEM3.0, I have to sell up to 8kw to offset my bill's 1kw. Average is about 4x, but at some peaks it's up to 8x. That is what everyone who is installing power systems today faces. So, you dont install it larger than you need. If they went back to NEM2.0, there would be little reason why not to do it. There are power loans that cost less than your utility bill, and the cost of the systems have come down. But the state WANTS you to use the power company, so they can manage crisis.

Here's another small tweak: Fold the line back on itself to form a grid!

That way, you can ditch the whole train thing and just walk to all of your destinations. Plus, you get an urban plan that has been proven workable since the days of ancient Mesopotamia.

What does the stock market have to do with the national debt? The American people (supposedly, not Israel) own their government. The American people don't own the companies in the stock market. Those are owned by their shareholders, which includes many Americans, but also many foreigners to varying degrees.

giving all your money to all the Zionists on the planet and then crying poor is such an American thing to do... - FTFY

Good point. An army that sees all others as subhuman and sees only the next death is one that has to keep fighting. It has no choice. It's the only thing it knows. It can keep conquering more territory outwards, or it can slaughter its own government inwards. History shows those are your two options.

Whether or not Russia conquers Ukraine, it will attack other countries - vast numbers of bored, underpaid soldiers would seek entertainment elsewhere if they didn't.

This is what I'm going by:

The report said that in December 2018, the US Federal Aviation Administration issued a special airworthiness information bulletin based on reports from operators of model 737 planes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged.

The airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an airworthiness directive – a legally enforceable regulation to correct unsafe conditions.

The same switch design is used in Boeing 787-8 aircraft, including Air India’s VT-ANB, which crashed. The report added: “As per the information from Air India, the suggested inspections were not carried out as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory.”

Materials to build Henry Ford's first factory were delivered by horse-drawn carts.

1. Were the safety guards, which were optional, installed?

2. We know investigators are looking into the computer system, does this mean the computer can also set the switch settings?

If the answers are "no" and "no" respectively, it was likely an accidental bump.

If the answers are "yes" and "no", then one of the pilots lied.

If the answer to the second one is yes, then regardless of the answer to the first, I'd hope the investigation thoroughly checks whether the software can be triggered into doing so through faulty data or the existence of software defects.

Your formula is a just a low-speed approximation of the actual formula for kinetic energy, and it is not accurate at relativistic speeds. In the actual relativistic formula, the amount of energy increases towards infinity as the mass approaches the speed of light.
