You must be in the US :-) I would not buy a Chinese ICE car, but some of their EVs are excellent.

I assumed all American high schools had student parking.
How else are the kids going to get to school? Walking or public transport ? hahaha!

Oh yeah, those weird buses painted yellow, with the engine sticking out the front, like on a car. So the kids don't have to mix with public transport like in any other country.

Thats so condescending. And stupid. You think there are not many data centres in or near NYC?
Moving them frees up power for homes. And it is actually happening, just not enough.

The other reason, it turns out, is greenwashing. More hydro-power in NYC improves their paper renewables targets in a way that moving heavy power users does not.

and a lot cheaper to just move the data centres to northern NY State, and run fiber optics down to the city?

"The space agency said there is a one in 4,200 chance of being harmed by a piece of the probe"

Who is more foolish? The author, the proof-reader (is that still a thing?), or the Slashdot editor who copy-pasted this without question?

I think I can improve my odds by staying indoors.
BTW, 600 kg is tiny. Skylab was 90 ton.

I know. It seems like somebody comes up with a plan like this every week.

Eh? The use of plural "they" is kind of weird, since Caitlin is very much a singular woman, and identifies as such.

She has long been a political activist, focussing on tribal identity politics, a woman and a lesbian being more important than being a person or whatever the job was. So OpenAI can hardly act surprised when a scorpion bites them.

Indonesia, a country with such extreme relious ideology, the drinking age is 21.

Was the "You may well ask that, but I couldn't possibly comment." quote not a give-away?
But given the original was a set of 4-part mini-series, I would not say "simply" remade.

As for cancelling Spacey, they had no choice.

In the USA? Aside from geography, ultimately it is the DoT.
But time zones are not at the state level. Many state are split.

Somewhat. But under US law the former is illegal, while the latter needs federal approval.
But if you want to get up an hour earlier, just do it. You don't need to change the clocks.

Hello and welcome to 2026. i don't blame you, nobody could have foreseen this, but apparently Microsoft is no longer evil.
WSL2, github, VS Code ... I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop,

The final season of "Game of Thrones", or the final season of "House of Cards"?

Sad, since both were so good once.

"You may well ask that, but I couldn't possibly comment."

Communication works because people use words with consistent meaning. You don't fuck around with that without a very good reason.

Similarly, you don't just redefine Greenwich to be your town, so that GMT is now conveniently the same as local time for you.

Not quite. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 standardises DST, but states can opt out by passing a law, having no DST and sticking to standard time.
It would stop then having permanent DST, like BC, as any DST must follow the federal standard.

And a good thing too. Permanent DST is stupid. Noon means noon. You want more evening sun? Regulate commerce hours to start earlier.

An interesting comparison, thanks. Do you reckon Orgasmatron would understand any of that nuance?
