I read it as "Data Centers Are Being Powered by Gas Giant Planets" and I said to myself, "Hmmm, I never thought of that one..."

That's because EVs are perfect for taxis. Many short distances, never far from a charging point and time inbetween rides where you can recharge in the supermarket parking lot while getting a bite to eat. And in the city, with stop-and-go traffic, EV are much better at handling that than ICEs who hate that. Plus the lower cost-per-km-driven matters even more when it's a profit margin thing.

Why?

Seriously, I get you are personally outraged, but that's not a reason. Has he mismanaged funds? Is his strategy failing the company? Is he driving key persons away from NVidia? Has he sold out to competitors?

Which one, exactly?

Has this dude even tried to use the Internet without ad blockers recently?

I had to check something online on someone else's computer a while back. If that were my daily experience, I'd quit the Internet. People "don't mind" - my ass. People either block ads or don't know how to block ads. That's the two groups. The group "doesn't mind" only exists in that person's head. And I bet he isn't in that group himself.

San Francisco has a strong Waymo presence (I think we were the first market to get public access to them). But we also believe in public transit; in fact, the Bay Area just voted for two important transit measures that will increase costs to taxpayers and property owners, but are designed to make up for badly needed funding from the state and federal governments that just isn't forthcoming anymore. The alternative, we were told, was massive cuts to buses, light rail, and passenger rail across multiple cities and jurisdictions. I guess we decided that wasn't what we really wanted. But there's still room for Waymo, just like there used to be room for taxis.

Some banks allow it. They give you a one-time code to take to an ATM.

Even more if you think they'll roll back the power grabs and demolishing of democratic institutions. Both parties like having unregulated power, just not in the hands of the other.

Thanks, I think we all knew this.

Except that they don't. Data centers create a tiny number of jobs and not for the people who usually are looking for a job in rural communities, they don't draw in visitor, tourists or other kinds of customers for local business, they don't create any product that the community would benefit from - what benefit is he talking about, much less "transformative" ?

So many words for "lol, yeah that's a them problem, we don't give a shit".

That this is even a matter for insurance is pathetic. The police caused this to happen, it needs to pay the bill, in full, including any costs the innocent person had for the time they kept the vehicle illegally.

Once cases like this drain the police budgets, they'll have an incentive to actually do a good job instead of fucking around and offloading the cost of their stupidity on ordinary people.

Yes. But folding clothes is not high on that list. Of the entire wash cycle, that's literally the easiest part. Now if it could put together all the socks into matching pair and store them away, we might be talking.

Other companies have moved us away from that model. It used to be that you buy a washing machine and you're done for most of your life. Ok, maybe you'll need a second one one day but that's about it. Not anymore. I'm on my third fridge since moving into this house a decade ago. They barely offer repairs anymore and it's often cheaper to buy new. It's ridiculous, really.

If it would iron, fold and put away, I might think about it. Folding is not the time-consuming part there.

Lol, yeah. 99% of cats will ignore that. :-)

Quite. Scientists and researchers have been using the term AI to describe this collection of technologies and algorithms since the 1950s. The field has (arguably) made great strides recently. Most of the current scientists and researchers have been perfectly content to continue to call it AI. But no! Now we're going to let somebody who was born stupid, dedicated his life to staying stupid, and now is seemingly in advanced stages of dementia tell us what we should call this field? What a bunch of bootlickers these tech execs are. I hope Trump has the good sense to walk through a cattle field before he asks these losers to get their tongues out.

Porn stars. At least back when I quit WP, one of the things that sent me over the top was that every minor porn star (especially female) apparently deserved their own page, while scientists didn't even if they had numerous published articles and citation and done important work - but their field was nothing famous.
