Tesla owns the electric gas station! for now... Now that unity is achieved in the US, I think we're about to see an explosion in charging stations and designs of various charging hubs (drive-in movies's revival?) as Tesla won't be allowed to own the network 100% come soon.
Super wealthy and famous people were previously "selected" by Twitter to receive blue checks, now that there is a transparent means to acquire it, they are no longer in that special select group. Being "picked" or "lucky" is part and parcel of being an actor or a journalist or a rich dude, there is no actual litmus test to be one. Blue checks didn't have a litmus test before... Elon made it 8 dollars. The elites balk at the idea their lucky status was reduced to 8 dollars. "I'm worth more than that!" is at play here.
One side is horses, the other side is automobiles. Horses continue to exist, but automobiles were the inevitable future. The horse side would have loved the auto side to pause and discuss too, and say 'think of all the horse related jobs, culture, and infrastructure at risk'.
Microsoft's cost-per-click for ads embedded in a chatgpt query/response is going to be an order of magnitude higher, since the engine will be able to reason linguistically about what ads are best.
And you can search for items by the "In-store" filter, which has guaranteed supply logistics sold and shipped by Walmart to avoid danger and fakery. At least I don't think Walmart comingles "their own" inventory with marketplace inventory items of the same SKU.
Cynically, people don't want to be liberated, people want to be better than the neighbor they don't like, to have what they have, and to have what they don't have, and that gets them through day to day
Based on the source article, this seems like this primarily affected Korea, but this seems like something that could have happened anywhere the humidifier cleaner was sold. Isn't this a much bigger scandal?
Definitely one more tape to add to my bin of tapes: various widths of kapton, various vhb mounting tapes, anisotropic electrically conductive 9703, and ultra-slippery rulon tape... all of which I never use of course.
Not only would we be next door to a military dictatorship, that military dictatorship would be responsible for smuggling billions of dollars in dangerous and illegal drugs.
It probably makes way more sense NOT to coup, so that the officials in government have nation-state plausible-deniability, preventing a proportionate military response from the USA.
That's the best part about it, at least on HN, no more flamewars. 6 months later, its just professionals and hobbyists going about their normal business, the dreaded apocalypse didn't come to pass.
There are no billboards in Maui from what I could tell, which was quite pleasant. From a further search it looks like Hawaii doesn't stand for billboards at all, nor do Alaska, Maine, or Vermont.
AND you can order that same part number again the next time! Configuration options are all built into the part number directly, so you can reference THAT exact number in your own internal documents if you choose to source from Misumi.
The alternative: make billions selling ads so you can finally sell the company to really focus on your passion of spending billions on developing tech and lobbying for policy towards searching the cosmos for life.
Very ironically/interestingly, this was case for the big anti-american posts from mainland China:
Infamously anti-west personality Sima Nan: "Being anti-American is work while visiting the U.S. is life"
https://youtu.be/Q0y84Oi3VW8
Short summary, his wife and child are U.S citizens, and he visits them often, but his entire career is made up of bashing the west, western values, and putting the ccp on a pedestal, and he's made a small fortune on this career... until his turn came.
IMHO, people traditionally migrated to areas with arable land. Then civilization sprang up around that arable land. As more and more people moved in, rather than staying valuable as arable land, it became residential/commercial/industrial land. This pushes agriculture further and further from those initial ideal conditions. This seems inevitable as long as people prefer density.
Bootstrap farmers attract other farmers, which creates communities, which attracts non-farmers. That progression inevitably leads to those some of the largest communities becoming not only non-farming, but anti-farming.
Don't let this be known to redditors in case youtube shuts it down for widespread use ala ytdl... you can search for youtube videos with the intitle:<search> for exact matches. This has helped me tremendously.
Different company, but Lam Research had a finance CEO, he had to 'resign' because he liked leading women on with career advancement promises more than running a critical infrastructure company. Now there's an ex-engineer/project-manager in the CEO position. So, according to the board members of these companies, finance heads are out, engineering-heads are in. Let's hope it works and lets hope it sticks for good.
