Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?
It's disingenuous to say rural areas are too poor to install public transportation. It's that there's too much to install (too much space) for any given user. Just economics of rural areas. It doesn't make sense unless we can significantly reduce the capital investment and running costs of public transport.
Hard disagree. People are far more cunning and twist the news more than an AI ever could. AI would in most cases remove bias and improve understanding among their audience. Case in point: current.report
I feel the need to step in here. Certification != regulation. Regulation means there is a body that can enforce the requirements with monetary or other damaging repercussions. What Oceangate faced were certifications and their decision to side-step them were met with no repercussions except their reputation with those who wouldn't ever want to step inside their sub anyways.
Point is - regulations would have prevented this, but there are none.
Yeah well put. It should be said that regulations OFTEN cite certifications from non-regulatory bodies. Regulators are often legislators and executors, not scientists that understand the rationales behind good practice. Certification bodies (like UL, as one example, or SAE for automotive) have the scientists to do the requirements.
I see it as marketing. Businesses are able to establish themselves wherever they please so it's incumbent on us to give them a reason to come here. Same as any consumer goods manufacturer would do to lure new consumers. The hope is that we'll attract more taxpayers along with those businesses and take in more taxes/profit from the operation.
Tax simplification and reform can't come soon enough. But frankly, I feel like we need more business and opportunity here.
Hi, as it’s in my title. I’m looking for narrative driven games with good story, something I can play on my steam deck. Not something open open world but more of a on rails experience....
Yeah probably not what you're looking for but Out There on Android is a sleeper. Think The Martian (yeah the novel) mixed with No Man's Sky. Some free and open elements with a journal-driven story progression. Difficult as well.
First of all, best user icon. Saw it before, commenting on it now
Second, the intent of supercaps shouldn't be range but batter loading. The limit of regenerative braking is not in the torque of the motor but what you need to do to transform the generated current into chemical energy in a battery. It's not as simple as passing the current through a capacitor, but with supercaps it is. So with the supercaps you can dump extreme currents and either use the energy for taking off or redirect it to the battery.
I demonstrated this in my senior design project at uni and it worked well. Didn't have a load I couldn't absorb with a bunch of the caps. The issue was they're very low voltage, so similar to the li-ion cells you need a lot of them in series to match the system voltage.
Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are both fantastic games - and Tears of the Kingdom really does feel (to me) like they just took Breath of the Wild, and added a few more years of dev time to it....
Ever since I started using smart phones, I have been jumping between different weather apps and have not been very satisfied with most of them. I found the apps from the big weather providers like Accuweather and Weather Channel to be bloated and distracting with advertisements and irrelevant news. The app I was closest to being...
Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.
For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.
Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.
Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.
Curious about if there is any discernable difference anyone can see if they may have popped in to Reddit today? I know it's probably naive to think there would be a big difference first day....
I love KFC, when me and my family are poor(and still are) i would go and eat KFC like almost every single week and it was cheap here + Delicious aswell. I loved KFC Fries the Most, it was so delicious. If i had enough money, i would buy enough of KFC and be a fat man in the week LMAO...
This is correct. The water analogy has limitations that are exposed when you start to talk about transmission over longer distances or very small things like computation circuits. Having said that, humans have a hard time understanding this explanation because we don't have senses that even remotely describe electric fields.
Marketers care an unreasonable amount about how their ads show up from a UI/X perspective. It's meaningless, but these people stake their roles on it, convincing entire industries it matters. Then you get some marketers who are laid off entering consultation and keeping the wheels turning on these ideas....
Ask me how I know 😮💨
Anyways, imagine Reddit looking to go IPO and asking their customers (marketers buying ads) what they can do to improve their services to these patrons, and you get /u/spez breaking his back to please them ahead of the customers their patrons would reach.
It's a great reminder why first-past-the-post needs to go. Who's going to step up for the Dems this year? Are we really counting on an anemic Biden to carry the party against an energized right? Or will someone step up to the plate only to be reprimanded as a "spoiler"?
We need actual competition in the political space. If incumbent cronyism could be effectively challenged we'd have politicians who care a bit more about representing and a bit less about political capital.
There isn't any regulation of commercial submersibles like there is for ground or air. Anywhere around the world. So the "de" of deregulation is not applicable.
Should there be regulation? Yeah absolutely, if submersibles are going to be a thing. But that's just called regulation.
Cyberpunk 2077 faced a tough reception at launch, but with the Phantom Liberty DLC nearing launch, one CDPR dev feels the RPG was better than history records....
I find most commentary reads as though people were expecting GTA from CDPR, which is completely unfair. I don't see a lot of "this doesn't play like Skyrim" from TW3 commentary, and there's a lot in common with those comparisons: CDPR titles are more story-driven, less freedom in their protagonist's character and role, and far less "life" outside the main path (ie, townsfolk and little finds along the way).
E: I think it played less buggy on launch than Skyrim, too. PC

Both the R1T all-electric pickup and the R1S SUV will be fitted with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector starting in 2025, eliminating the need for an adaptor.
It's an objectively better port design. I think that's why so many automakers are flocking to it. It's the USB to the PC's RS232: simpler, fewer points of failure, and better ux.
Let's hope a good charger experience is coming behind the scenes.
Our biased attention means we’ll always feel like we’re living in dark times, and our biased memory means we’ll always feel like the past was brighter.
Negativity bias is objectively consistent and has been known for quite a while. It's important we balance that out with an intentional focus on positive thinking.
I'll give my thoughts for anyone dropping in from a search or wherever. I have a pair of MB42s (non-x) powered by a cheapish Amazon 20w DAC+amp and love the sound. Great for movies, music and gaming all around if paired with a small (8 or 10") sub. They're quick and detailed, but not too analytical. Great separation. You can close your eyes and really get yourself in the setting or pick out the instruments and reason about their construction or the method they're being played. Yet unlike a pair of monitors, these speakers are actually fun. They're not completely flat and lifeless, nor ever siblant to my ears. As I alluded to, though, they fall off around 120-140hz so you need a sub if you're watching movies (explosion kicks are completely missed by the MB42s) or listening to anything needing prominent bass like electronic or metal.
My only gripe is their field of listening is quite small. On my desk I need a couple of speakers stands to point them at my ears to get the most out of them. They're certainly good outside the sweet spot but if you're really trying to enjoy the media you need to position yourself right. If I even relax too much I find I'll miss the super high-end details. For this reason they're not at all suitable for the R/L channel of a home theater system.
