Reminder that this requires all vehicles be SOLD with the tech. It says nothing about what happens to it after purchase.

Or… leave the tech sitting at home reporting a pre-recorded route over and over.

I highly recommend reading Connie Willis’ The Domesday Book

There’s the sticking point (well, one of them): sometimes, servers are shut down because the developer wants players to buy a NEW game that they’ll make more money on. If gamers can just play the old game forever, they’re less likely to buy and play the new game whose servers have improved the rent seeking algorithms.

Half the size of a pickup truck… a Mazda compact, or a jacked up GMC Hemi half ton?

Even just saying Ford F150 gives a lot of leeway.

Notice it’s SpaceX, not Musk.

Sure, he might tank some extremely valuable assets, but he’s not spending HIS money directly here.

While Musk is currently the owner of SpaceX, there’s currently an IPO on the books.

What’s the small print? Edge is already a requirement for me at work.

Just like many people keep their cars parked outside, but the outside is protected better if it is usually stored under cover. The trick is to get a cover that doesn’t trap moisture inside.

Well, the obvious answer is: if God is so much greater than humans, how would we know? If you’re talking about the Hebrew god from the Christian Bible / Jewish Scriptures, you’re seeing the depiction of God as told through the lens of humans, who often try to be telling other humans about god using the limited vocabulary and imagery available.

God is depicted as being powerful enough that a human not being fully aligned with God but being in God’s presence would lead to annihilation, just like a human approaching the sun would be destroyed — not because the sun was angry, just because of its nature compared to ours.

On the flip side of that, for the biblical God, humans are made in God’s image, which means the species as a whole would reflect God’s character (including the bit about wanting to be the ones fully in control).

It’s the same with flats being ♭ and not b. Mostly an engraving choice.

A question can be both not stupid and not appropriate.

Trust me… it’s getting better, but it can’t do the non-boring stuff in a way that’s ISO compliant. Yet.

I work with a lot of productive software developers. They all write code. They also leverage AI to do all the boring stuff.

To be fair, the FSF is partially incorrect; a government can indeed craft their copyright laws such that OnlyOffice’s license restrictions are valid. However, to my knowledge, no government has done so to date, so the FSF is correct in practice; the extra restrictions in the repository violate international copyright laws.

In music, # denotes a sharp key or note and b denotes a flat key or note — this is Italian notation.

Traditionally in English, the # symbol was called the hash, because it looked like the end of a cooking implement used to hash vegetables (nowadays everyone would say mash instead).

In US typewriters, there was no £ symbol, so # was used to denote british pounds instead.

When the telephone button pad was created, there was room for two more symbols and tones, so the creators took the asterisk and hash from the typewriter and added them as extra signals.

When Twitter needed a way to denote a tagged word in a tweet, they decided to use the hash symbol.

Also, they’re pretty useless when they filter out beneficial minerals but miss the thing you didn’t know about that’ll kill you.

That well water got tested on a regular basis. It didn’t include PFAS because nobody tested for PFAS back then.

However, most filters today don’t filter PFAS. A good reverse osmosis filter will, or distillation. Problem with distillation is that it filters out all the good stuff too, so then you have to fortify your water.

That’s what makes it interesting 🤔

Or… the agent hallucinates that it has a valid license.
