My company makes dangerous equipment like lawn mowers. Because of this, I have to go through training on how to design equipment to be safe. And the rule is very clear. If there is any possibility of an issue, you need to redesign it so th

Sure, but in home automation there was a whole lot of those didn't realize situations that you won't get right. In the one end I often go for the question, 'is it really worth the bother of trying to set this all up'? In

Until the kid uses the bathroom in the middle of the night and goes back to bed. Though the GP seems to not mind stale coffee so perhaps he won't care. Exceptions like the above make automations hard.

It's certainly valid and it has been done in other situations, but the details are different. I don't know that of any case where it's been tried against Google. It's certainly reasonable to think it could work against G

AI is fine in itself. The only question are the numbers correct. I'm not sure how to validate them. The facts count the most important. The second is the article readable without being too wordy or any other such problems.

They used and installed a fair amount of renewable energy since then. Plus, the similar efficiency gains in the EU and the article have also happened in the US. While there hasn't been government encouragement directly, there have been

Problem is the guy here spent $100 on ads that went to bots, and thus can get his $100 back after spending a million on lawyers.

I always wanted to try a three one the tree, just cause they were so different. Alas all the cars I've ever owned were 5 or 6 speeds. Today I drive an EV with no gears. Maybe someday a collector will trust me with his car - but I would

They are strategically using their stockpiles. There are a lot of factors in their strategy and some of them conflict. This has an effect on the world market. How much of their strategy is to change elections vs other concerns I don't

I agree all sides are bad. Too many people ate trying to do one side bad, so the other side must be good. We can ask least bad. Sometimes there are no good options.

His supporters are a minority. There are others who voted for him as they felt it was the least bad option, but they are not supporters (and many of them regret their vote, though they probably would have stayed home, or voted third party)

Iran is known to have killed at least 10,000 of their own people just this year. The US has done bad too, but the scale isn't nearly as large.

While it is hard to say, all signs point to China not wanting to take over. That isn't to say they could, but China seems content to rule their corner of the world and let the US rule the ocean. (their corner includes Taiwan which the

China has some influence. They did do what was said - but only if you take the absolute most charitable reading (which is a expected here).

Almost nobody today was alive when the US used nuclear weapons. We can ignore them at this point. Judge the current US policy by the current US.

What is the world going to do? The US is the only country that has a "blue water" navy. That means not just enough ships to go to sea, but enough of a supply line to handle all the logistics of having ships anywhere in the world

No Chinese EVs in the US (yet)... This is a really complex optimization problem, but slowing EV adoption, which low gas prices help, is likely the better course for a few more years. Eventually just gouge the petrol users left is the most

For now. They are well aware of the long picture. They know how long they can risk doing without maintenance, and will do it eventually. They are also well aware that EVs are coming and high fuel prices hurt them long term because people

Israel didn't really change their position much. Iran was already funding all their enemies. I suspect (know way to know) Isreal would have been better off attacking Iran alone - they could have sent a message "back off - we can

You can't find an equivalent for the same price. OP has an 11 year old car that apparently works fine. To get a EV means he needs to spend thousands (or settle for one that is a lot cheaper for a reason) more. We don't know how

Problem with buying used is EVs you are limited to what is for sale now. Search EV market share by year in your favorite search engine, then do your own analysis: if you are buying a used car more than 90% of your options are not EV (even

War is only good if it doesn't destroy many of your investments. When oil goes up in price, or you start losing factories war is bad.

The new jet powered Shaheds are more expensive as well. And Ukraine is already having good success in shooting them down without patriots (which they are very lacking in) - these are new drones that they just designed for the task. These
