I have several E1 wired switches and had to resort to replacing the firmware on them[0]. They don't drop off the network as their sleepy end devices tend to, but they also can't be bound to other devices.

Parents discovered sled tracks from home onto broken pond ice through which he fell.
He left the house at 16:00, which is why they give the range of 147 to 177 minutes.
You're right that most shares are held by institutions (~80%), but that typically reflects the fact that most share ownership by individuals/companies goes through intermediaries (401k, fund investments, ETF etc.). Most of this institutional ownership is just asset managers, insurance, banks etc. taking their cut before passing returns/loses through to the end risk holder. The average institutional ownership of companies in the S&P500 for example is also ~80%.
None of this takes away from the point that Broadcom is absolutely run like a PE firm as the original commenter noted.
Not surprising given the CEO was appointed by KKR/Silverlake 20 years ago.

Nintendo is a TSE-listed public company with a market cap of about USD 110 billion.
"But saying, you know, picking an upper bound, $100,000 worth of equipment on it, you amortize it over, you know, the lifetime, call it, say, 400,000 (miles), 25 cents per mile. Right. And, you know, it gives you some margin compared to the cost of paying a human driver."
He also mentioned that the next generation would see a "drastic reduction in the cost".

edit: Thanks for the correction. They do indeed use resistors and just dump the energy as heat. Unfortunate.
Hopefully this will change as supercaps continue to improve. Maxwell tech's modules are already used in light rail, and looks like some work towards smaller locomotives in Switzerland here:
Honda even recently announced that they're scaling back on electric to focus on hybrids:

It's on all the US embassy sites, although it says "are requested":
Effective immediately, all individuals applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa are requested to adjust the privacy settings on all of their social media accounts to ‘public’ to facilitate vetting necessary to establish their identity and admissibility to the United States under U.S. law.

etc.
To begin, one guy hangs out the window, drills a few holes in the outer concrete wall, and bolts a piece of L shaped steel to support the initial bamboo "floor". After that he's outside balancing on the first piece while he drills more and extends along the wall. Someone on the feeds the poles through the window.
He usually has a rope attached to a waist harness, which is initially held by someone inside, and then clipped to the braces outside... most of the time.
The whole thing is amazing to watch.
It's necessary every time you need to service something outside, like replacing or repairing aircon.
I have just finished doing this and writing replacement firmware for the Aqara E1 series of Zigbee switches, after getting fed up with them not supporting basic Zigbee binding functionality.
This might not matter if you're pushing everything through a hub like HA, but if you want to connect directly with other devices and remotes then it likely won't work.

It's not Forbes, it's just a random contributor writing clickbaity articles for the $.
Forbes is trash and is closer to Medium in the way it is structured than to a typical news media site. It's generally just random contributors. You can see from the URL (forbes.com/sites/[contributer-name]). There are thousands of contributors with various incentives.
Forbes’ staff of journalists could produce great work, sure. But there were only so many of them, and they cost a lot of money. Why not open the doors to Forbes.com to a swarm of outside “contributors” — barely vetted, unedited, expected to produce at quantity, and only occasionally paid? (Some contributors received a monthly flat fee — a few hundred bucks — if they wrote a minimum number of pieces per month, with money above that possible for exceeding traffic targets. Others received nothing but the glory.)
As of 2019, almost 3,000 people were “contributors” — or as they told people at parties, “I’m a columnist for Forbes.”

Hong Kong has a mountainous topography. Of the total land area of 1,111 km 2, 24.3% (270 km2) is built-up area, with the remaining 75 .7% (841 km 2) being not-for-development or non-built-up area consisting mainly of country parks, wetland, reservoirs, fish ponds, etc

The timeout param is listed as "If a transfer has started but then becomes idle for this long it is considered broken and disconnected". This seems to be only for file transfers in progress.
I traced it once, and Rclone gets a "temporary DNS failure" error once the network is down, but just keeps retrying.
I use it on my desktop and laptop to mount Google drives. The problem on the laptop is that the OS sees the drive as local, and Rclone doesn't timeout on network errors. So if you are not connected to wifi and an application tries to read/write to the drive, it will hang forever. This results in most of the UI locking up under XFCE for example, if you have a Thunar window open.
Gogoro currently do more than 400,000 battery swaps / day, primarily in Taiwan, but are expanding into other Asian countries.

So a 1 in ~60 chance of dying on any given flight...have to agree that that is far from safe.
There were 2 failures over a total of 135 flights, with 14 fatalities. So that's about 103 fatalities per 1000 flights.
