Somebody's going to get killed. They just had an incident on a test course where their vehicles ignored a School bus with its lights and stop sign out.

Tesla vehicles are already killing people. Specifically, they keep plowing into emergency vehicles who have their lights on.

This was for Best Buy.

When you call the store three miles from you using a local number, you won't get routed to Vidhya who's sitting in a call center somewhere in India.

Unlike with digital, when you turn a knob or push a button the reaction is instantaneous. Whatever you are adjusting adjusts AND you get instant feedback. With digital there is always a delay and unless you are looking at the screen, can't be sure you touched the right places to get the desired effect.

Think of a light switch. You flip it up or down and the light goes on or off. Instant feedback. Not so with a digitally controlled light where, excluding voice commands*, youo have to root through a menu system to turn lights off or on, hoping you're hitting the right spot.

Buttons and knobs are and will continue to be superior for a long time. People need to stop overcomplicating things. Push a button, turn a knob, you're done.

* Even with voice commands there will be a delay and you have to hope it understands what you want to do.

I wonder if they'll collaborate with these folks. It seems their product is made for them.

Yes, comrade. Keep repeating the lie to make yourself feel good.

Someone needs cancer treatment. They spend weeks training to go into space, are launched, then spend a few days undergoing treatment then come back down? Who would even pay for this? No way insurance would cover it.

Even if they use the zero-g plane, that only gives 25 seconds of zero g conditions for every minute of flight.

While this is an interesting discovery, someone needs to figure out how to make it workable.

What is interesting is that by commissioning these executives, they will now be subject to the UCMJ...

As if that means anything. Krasnov will just pardon them like he did for all those terrorists.

Ethanol might burn cleaner, but it produces more emissions than gasoline. Also, it can eat away at various parts of an engine if the engine isn't designed for ethanol use.

A bit over 2,300 people for an iron sword and just over 16,000 to make a steel blade.

I pulled the sword one from thin air based on reading about it elsewhere. I wasn't intentionally looking for it when I came across it. However, everything else is true. And no, not an author (yet).

One moment I'm looking up how to kill various weeds in my lawn, the next I'm searching for how many people I'd have to kill to extract enough iron from their blood to make a sword, followed by what disasters happened in a certain year, onto finding the name of a song I heard once in my lifetime thirty years ago, and wrapping it up by searching for stories on the Christian pedophile who was arrested.

I don't think I want to match with someone based on browser history.

Men, you're lucky men. Soon you'll all be fighting for your planet. Many of you will be dying for your planet. A few of you will be forced through a fine mesh screen for your planet. They'll be the luckiest of all.

Without prior approval, Starlink was installed on the roof of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and was (is still?) used to send untold amounts of highly sensitive government data over an insecure connection. Needless to say, the Secret Service, among others, was flabbergasted that basic security precautions were not taken to secure the link, even after DOGE was told how insecure the system is.

Another cyber policy ignored. Who knows how much sensitive data is now in the hands of the Russian assets handlers?

Let us know when Android 18 is here. Then we'll be interested.
