Iraq is a country of more than 40 million of inhabitants. They can take care of theirselves. Using an argument of some "sleeper cells", come on, it's silly. Is the US army only thing holding up their government? If yes then what do you expect? Either it falls the same way as in Afganistan, or it fights for itself.

In the long term we are all dead. But I think you mean that VW fleet electrification effort is dead. Which is not true either. You're underestimating the willingness of people in Europe to buy domestically produced cars. Even if they are not the state of the art from the perspective of picking up the latest EV technology. Don't forget the new china propagated LFP batteries are not better than the already existing NMCs. They may be cheaper, NMCs got cheaper too.

The lower is your state of charge, the more you are willing to reach the destination with your remanining capacity :) The time spend riding slower is usually not so different than when you drive normally, and it reduces the inconvenience of looking for a charger almost at the goal.

There is not a single person mentioned on the website, github created 3 days ago, no real contact, everything hidden. Completely anonymous. Domain owner hidden.

Usually, when some system is getting outdated, the system gets replaced or updated to fit the needs. Does this system work for the majority of USA, or not? Do I read it correctly, that the poor people have medicare/medicaid and therefore it's fine for them, the average person has some health insurance and don't mind spending a few thousands of dollars once in a while when his life is in stake?

Regarding the unstable times: Consider living in any year in the past 50 years or so. There are shocks and game-changing events happening subsequently after each of the year you have possibly chosen. Oil crisis here, war there, collapse of some country, technological breakthrough, etc.. Unless you live in countries, where you don't plan for years, but for months or days upfront. Then your life is much more stereotypical, when you just try to survive every day.

That's not the way how human brain works.

You miss the point - by collecting and processing medical data they would fall into a thoroughly regulated industry. Not because they may provide you incorrect data, because they are not allowed to process them.

ZKP is definitely a good idea, definitely more open for this kind of age verification than anything else. And I don't buy the argument of "closing internet", social networks are a proprietary service and if you don't want to obey with the regulations, create your own website and post things there if you want. However you have to provide your identity to the domain name registry or to the intermediary. Also other services require you to verify your age or even provide your identity, this is just another one that comes way too late.

So to not get confused, when you ask for a new laptop in your corporate and you say 14 inch Pro Max, don't get lured to get Pro Max Premium, or even Pro Max Plus, just say you want Pro M5 Max, because otherwise you are getting Dell. And make sure to not say "Just get me a Pro, bro", because you might be getting HP Pro desktop!

For people that want to make the calculation: A truck does not need a 15 ton battery. In Europe, we have mandatory breaks for truck drivers. So you need a battery pack for max 400km of range, let's say 500km. When you have a break, you charge. For this, you need like 1500kWh battery pack, which weigths like ... wait, 15 tons. But this is not entirely correct, the real values reported are between 120-150Kwh/100km, that means a half of the stated number, 7.5 tons for the battery pack.

I think Github Actions is just a lead for Microsoft customers to use paid Azure DevOps. It is bad intentionally.

LM Studio is awesome in a way how easily you can start with local models. Nice UX, not needed to tweak every detail, but giving you the options to do so if you want.

The recent tactic is to spread distrust to own government by any means necessary - seemingly random failing infrastructure is hardly attributable to some foreign actor, yet it has implications on who gets in the government after next elections, especially europarliament. And as you can observe, most of the "anti-system" parties are pro-russian, openly or by agenda. edit: I'm not saying this accident looks like sabotage. The spread of propaganda after it happened it's a different story.
