It's often cheaper to move the power to where it's needed than to move the workers to where the power is generated.

True. I used to work for one of those. They were always trying to figure out how to offload maintenance and construction onto subcontractors. And just sit around, read meters and collect bills. It turns out that the meter-reading (which they had also sub'ed out) is easy to do. And the market took note of that and cut their ROI to the bone. They were de-listed from the stock market and went private as a subsidiary of an investment fund. Which is principally held by the construction companies doing their heavy lifting. And making big bucks doing so.

It turns out that capital markets are pretty good at spotting situations where the marginal cost of a product is low or zero. And then cutting the fair PE ratio to match. Except for where it will take a few years to figure the market and products out (AI for example). And then the salesmen drop that segment like a no longer hot potato and spin up a new scam.

It turns out that there is always money to be made as a reward for continuting real efforts. It's just not the sexiest part of the economy.

Leaving the groomers aside, there are probably more than a few people here involved in building digital products for kids. And one of the most important features of those products is leveraging peer pressure to create demand among its community of users (kids).

It will be here. The sunlight is just on back order.

FTFY.

Good luck going after the authors of content rather than the carriers when whole organizations of ransom-ware organizations can hide behind the skirt of Mommy Putin. I'm not against actions against Venezuelan speedboats. But if Trump wants to demonstrate his resolve, sink a few of Russia's shadow oil fleet as payback for shitposting.

the DOM? There's only one?

This is what we lost when native Java support went away. Not everything is a simple tree.

... I can believe AI being good at. After all, seeking power resources are in AIs self interest.

Kodak??

Yeah, the charging situation is interesting.

If you charge at home, so much cheaper than gas.

If you can't charge at home, so much more expensive than gas.

Well, sure, but you can say the same thing of so much in automotive tech...

When all those gaskets need to be replaced, when the transmission grinds itself, when the coolant system leaks, when the turbo goes, if the timing belt goes, every few months when you change the oil, etc etc.

Sure, it's a item worthy of being wary of and a good opportunity to improve, but it's not like ICE engines are nice and immune from expensive costs down the line.

It would seem that adopting Rust, which is supposed to be safe by design, would relieve developers of the duty to write safe code. After all, its Rust. None of these nasty null pointers and buffer oveflows are possible. Just like Python relieves developers from the duty of formatting readable code.

Developers should now be freed to make higher level, more difficult to find logic erors.

Thank goodness we made those leaps in microprocessor design and software back in the 1980s. So there's no need for further incremental improvements.

PBS is primarily (85%) privately funded. It will continue to produce shows like Masterpiece, Nova, Frontline, and Sesame Street and people in places like Boston or Philadelphia will continue to benefit from them.

What public funding does is give viewers in poorer, more rural areas access to the same information that wealthy cities enjoy. It pays for access for people who don't have it.

By opting out, Arkansas public broadcasting saves 2.5 million dollars in dues, sure. But it loses access to about $300 million dollars in privately funded programming annually.

... is going. I read that as Phoebe Cates.
