A "SmartCard" is not a telephone SIM.

Roaming calls have no special formatting, you only have to add the country code of the destination country. And that is done by the phone and not the SIM.

There probably was once a SIM that had a Java CPU on it, who knows?

But most certainly the current ones do not have it. No one would want to pay the licencing costs for what ever little bit of Java would be on a phone SIM card.

Dude: unlike you, I lived a long time at the side of a hydrogen station.
And I worked much much longer time for an energy company that has a hydrogen station just 100m away from my office.

Yes, I facepalm about your stupid comments.

The hydrogene tanks of a car are around 200 bar (200 times atmospheric pressure). The tank at the gas station is about 300 bar.

If or if not a fueling station needs a compressor for this or that: was not the point of the discussion.

The point is: fueling stations and cars using them do exist. So your stupid comments are completely unwarranted.

That is how I used the word "truck" too.
Anyway, I was sarcastic.

Surprising that so many nitpick about my comment.

The modern truck in USA is a "pickup" they got invented t circumvent emission laws 25 years ago, actually close to 30 years.

States like California introduced very strict emission laws - for personal vehicles - and actually forced car makers to sell about 1% zero emission cars around 2000. And increase that percentage year by year.

So, the car industry "reclassified" personal cars into trucks. SUVs or what ever. Those abominations only exist to circumvent the law, and then suddenly got traction, and sold nicely.

In German we do not use such a word, we use Lastkraftwagen and its abbreviation LKW. It is pretty clear that a SUV or pickup is not a LKW. On the other hand: you could register some small cars (usually vans) as LKWs - not sure if that stopped now, or is still possible. Mostly to cheat insurance prices. Well, it is not cheating if it is legal.

So you work as an Surveying Engineer, you have to carry a little bit equipment and are traveling a considerable amount each year. You get a VW bus, or similar, and register it as a "truck", and pay less than half the price in taxes and insurance ...

The only thing "fair" about is:
a) the idiots made the laws like that, so you simply can do it
b) you actually are using the car for your job ... so you probably think your conscious is clear

He wrote my Country?
So he perhaps wanted to emphasize it and used capitalization.

Sorry: it is not about switching off your stupid keyboard settings for one web site.

It is about switching them off.

No one needs "smart quotes" or any other stupid things in the "text world".

Yeah, having a quote on the bottom line of text as introduction quote and on the upper end as finalizing quote: I never wrote that in real live with my hands. In some kinds of books about "magic and wonders" strange quotes might look fancy.

In real life: they are just annoying.

But that is of course up to you :D

Well, for me it was clear he meant the first one.
I only watched Enders Game as I was fond of his first 2 or 3 books about the story: and to see how they make a movie about it.
Half disappointed ... but still did enjoy it.

Perhaps I should have ended my post with: /SARCAM

And in between these two points is every regulation that has ever existed.

Case by case, no more broad strokes "regulations good or bad". Most regulations exist for a reason, you change them without eliminating them.

They're likely to get involved in your system as well but for different reasons.

It's not even intelligence, artificial or not yet. It's still just brute force machine learning. Until the day comes when you can show an AI system a picture of 2 cats or dogs or cars or humans of different shape, size and color and it can then immediately and correctly identify all cats as a cat, dogs as a dog, cars as a car, or other people as humans it cannot think and is not intelligent.

We passed that milestone in the 1990s champ

Keep up.

As a kid I participated in a version of this. Being good at math is not enough to do well in such competition no matter how smart you are (3sigma no idea past that). To do well, you need to study competition-style problems and learn broad array of various moves and shortcuts. This is much closer to chess than to actual logic and reasoning of free-form problem solving.

Before reflexively opposing this, can you show me what Biden's FCC policies accomplished? I promise to not even ask you what they cost.

Nobody is going to get on his ass if he's not answering calls or have 30 minute clarity on his inbox. "Oh, I'm in the Maldives on holiday, low reception you know. You guys should really try focusing more"

An American heavy hauler has to haul much further than a European one. That economic element accounts for the discrepancy.

FERC.

But Northern Ireland!

Wow man that's a throwback I remember this presentation, it was so cool.

I guess parts of this tech have disseminated out into photo tools elsewhere and I know PhotoSynth was an actual thing for awhile but yeah this never seemed to materialize to the potential shown.
