Liar.
I can look out my back door and see the high tide line where my yard becomes the coast. It has changed significantly. During king tides it is wet nearly to my back steps.
Up north in San Francisco, the area of streets (embarcadero?) around the piers near the ferry building commonly go underwater during king tides. When I was a teenager I used to go up there and it was only wet with occasional storm surge waves.
Yes. That is part of their defense:
Meta also said it didn't violate the children's online privacy law because it directed Facebook and Instagram to a general audience, not just children under age 13.
"We harm everyone, not just kids!"
He badly needs a success. Something he can show to the public and the boss man as a win. This may be it.
They are doing it. There was an article the other day about it. (can't find it in my history now... you could google for it if interested)
There is a major shift towards buying components for small multi-purpose drones that can be built by grunts in the field vs buying big multi-million dollar remote operated specialist craft. Army grunts are being trained to assemble, modify, and operate small drones for field operations. Small drones for short range recon and attack, at the squad level.
Overpopulation is not the solution to pollution. Two wrongs do not make a right.
Why does innovation mean companies can steal material and think they can get away with it
Copyright infringement is not theft.
In case you missed it...
The Supreme Court of the United States ruled Monday, June 29, 2026 that: Constitutional privacy protections under the Fourth Amendment apply to cellphone location data, including "geofence warrants" used by law enforcement. The Justices determined that accessing a user's location history from a third party constitutes a "search," requiring probable cause and a warrant.
So it's only the jobs that you care about? Is that what you're implying? I could give you lists of White Collar jobs that industrialization, automation, and the computer era absolutely gutted.
1. Embrace AI. For no other reason than that every useful technology, no matter how dodgy it was at first, has taken over.
2. Quality over quantity. The question is not yes/no on AI, but how to make AI work for us. I suggest manufacturing.
3. Don't be a Chinese stooge. The Chinese oppose American data centers for obvious reasons.
The heat was so bad in France that they banned drinking alcohol in Paris.
Imagine telling a Parisian that they cannot drink wine.
Most of the cells near me aren't actually stand-alone towers. They are boxes with some electronics and an antenna sticking out mounted to the top/side of a building or other existing platform. Mostly these are just repeaters that improve service in an area -microcells within the larger cell.
When there is a power outage, these microcells run off their batteries for a few hours. When they run down, there is only service from the larger towers with their dedicated generators -and the service degrades significantly.
Grab my cat and my go-bag, and get out.... assuming that the fire is larger than what an extinguisher can handle. I guess the extinguisher would be Plan-A technically, but my first thought is the plan-B grab-and-go. I have food/water, cat food, cat harness/leash, clothes, shoes, and cash in the bag.
No way existing manufacturers would collude to keep prices high in a constrained market with significant barriers to entry.... nope.
Increasing production requires new plants with new equipment. It cannot be done quickly, or stealthily. Every manufacturer will move at the same time, or not at all.
Deals like the one announced here, are a signal to all of the players. The others will announce similar deals soon.
