The above writeup mentioned New England, Los Angeles and Utah. The first two are both exclusively Democrat run, and Utah is more purple these days. Nothing to stop your queen from putting the kibosh on coal plants in your state. Also, the bulk of coal plants are in states like WV, VA, KY,.... and there was no mention of plants there closing down

Also, Russia gets its drones from Iran, of all places. It's not like Iran could legally buy semiconductors from US makers. It's probably from China, and therefore, if Kyiv wants to sue anybody, it should be the Chinese manufacturers who sell those parts to Iran to manufacture them for Russia

Sitting in a cafe in the city of Mykolaiv right now, everything runs on generators. Earlier today, around 7:45 local time a few shahed drones flew over the city, this was after a lqrge attack from about 6 hours prior. Multiple energy distribution systems were hit in multiple regions. There were people killed, some drones hit homes, there were myltiple kinjal (dagger) missiles launched from mig-31 platforms. I crossed the border to Ukraine over 2 weeks ago, spent a week in Kiev, a day in Lviv, a day in Odessa, etc. Everywhere there are issues with energy distribution. Where I am now there are issues with watwr as well of course. People keep going because tbat is what people do, nobody here wants to give up anything to ruzzia, they want to stop the war in a way that prevents future attacs from the scourge that is ruzzia. As to this lawsuit, it is completely justified but it is not enough. Europe is giving ruzzia more money every year in oil and purchases than Europe spends on this war, given tbat Ukraine is protecting Europe from putin taking this war further west, I find this behaviour atrocious.

Comment Re: How is RISC-V better than ARM? (Score 1) 17

I had read that MIPS has pretty much abandoned its ISA in favor of RISC-V. Not a major deal, since only 2 instructions were different. Also, in addition to OpenSparc and OpenPower, ARM itself is "open" in the sense that it can be licensed, after a company pays an upfront membership fee (According to Steve Furber, it was to keep ARM from going into the red).. I daresay one could even do what Cyrix and Centaur, in addition to AMD, used to do in the 90s w/o running afoul of either Intel or AMD ISA patents
