It's hard to hold yourself out as a premium car when you are forcing adverts on your buyers while Ford and Chevy are not (yet).

That was a good read.  Techdirt does really good stuff.

Google's sense of entitlement knows no bounds.

Most data centers are full of our cat pics. heh.

Still, any way you cut it AI data centers are resource hogs.

>train a type of intellectual rigor

Very well said.  Being able to command the (English) language will always serve you well.

Heck if the analog bits were made today they would be cheesy.

>on the public

We have not heard the last of this and the utility companies seem to be oblivious to the storm that is coming.

The Reaper has been around for a long time in drone terms, at least since the Obama Admin if not earlier. And who knows how many years it was in design before it ever entered production.

Drones were new back when the Reaper was designed which means everything was bespoke and therefore super expensive with no off the shelf parts.  And drone warefare has changed very rapidly in the last 4 years but little or no innovation or design coming out of the US.

That is really cool.  Thanks RC.

Nice find.

>golf cart

Yup, they are carving out a niche just above a golf cart. Enough to get you to the store on back roads in bad weather.

>fat tires "ebikes*"

Here we used to have liquorcycles, cheap 25cc Chinese scooters that you didn't need a drivers license to operate, so guys with DUI's that had lost their license would ride them to work. It allowed them to keep working and support themselves and their families.

We could stand to cut down on the salt in processed foods.  Originally it was a flavor enhancer and a preservative but we have refrigeration, freezers and all those chemicals so we could cut back on some of the salt.  Hard to do with Pringles but at least you know what you are getting straight up with them.

I want an anti-spam voicemail bot to screen incoming robocalls.  AI bots talking to AI bots wasting hundreds of hours with each other is my endgame.  hhh

It surprised me.  This is a major ruling.

Way back when I was at university a major engineering firm was recruiting from the liberal arts school.  When asked why, they said, we need people that can talk, explain things and to and interact with the general public. Engineers aren't always good at that.
