Tesla pioneered EV technology ..

EV technology has been around nearly 200 years.

Shit-for-brains, barely graduated high school, good-for-nothing except physical labor in warehouses or plants are having what's left of their jobs that haven't been shipped overseas automated away. Nobody wants them either.

Exactly. The curriculum needs to change as the tools change, and the tests and exams need to change as well. Just like calculators in the classroom were perceived as threats to kids' ability to learn arithmetic, until they were accepted as a useful tool that student would encounter later in life. By the same token, students need to be taught about AI as a tool, and especially its pitfalls.

Well, thanks for the informative nightmare fuel...

I don't see such a direct relation between sales tax / tariffs, income tax, and capital gains tax. Swapping income tax for tariffs probably isn't going to affect the 1% much, and it doesn't matter much if you have $10M in the bank or not. With that said... a sales tax is a bigger burden on those who spend the largest part of their income on necessities, i.e. the lower incomes. If lowering income tax and raising tariffs is done budget-neutral, then the lower incomes will be worse off, the higher incomes better off.

BTW I thought there's no way Trump can get a 3rd term short of changing the constitution. How's that going to go down?

I remember cafes doing this 20 years ago. One cafe had outlets, but installed a switch behind the counter to turn them all off. (They turned them on only when a band was performing and needed to plug in equipment.) If you wanted to stay at the cafe for a while, charge your laptop battery before showing up.

Not quite, the article mentions 58 wallets making more than $10M, 764,000 wallets losing money, but a total of around 2,000,000 wallets buying coins at some point. So there's still a substantial number of "winners" (I use the term lightly)

The number of vaccinated in the Netherlands is dropping across the board: a little under 95% for non-religious people, 90% for Christians, and 60% for Muslims. The interesting part about the latter group is that it seems to be the 2nd and 3rd generation of immigrants who do not get the shots; 1st generation ones do... because vaccination is a normal thing in their country of origin, considered Halal. Morocco for instance has a much higher degree of vaccination than the Netherlands.

What 3 Words solves a different problem, specifically to be able to locate any position on Earth more easily than using latitude and longitude. The problem Walmart is solving is to minimize delivery times from fulfillment centers.

"Ran over 2 VRUs today", no, that doesn't sound so bad. Makes it sound like speed bumps.

It's Glassholes 2.0

Many apps are little more than front-ends for web sites on the desktop. Many of those should probably be just web sites.

Some apps, however, are actually better as apps, e.g., an airline's app can give you notifications concerning your flight, e.g., gate change alerts, that you couldn't get from a web site unless you kept the page open and logged in in the browser.

And then there are games.

You really needed this explained?

Not my experience. I've bought a bunch of different bagless vacuums over the years (for use in rental properties); didn't want to spring for the overpriced Dysons but went with quality brands like Miele and Philips. The critical part in a bagless vacuum is the performance of the cyclone: the better it works, the less dust ends up in the filter.

All vacuums performed poorly on that score; with some I spent more time cleaning the filter than doing actual vacuuming. Only the Dyson held up well, needing only an occasional filter cleaning. One thing to note though: these are not shop vacs. Using them to suck up fine dust from sanding and such will quickly clog and kill them.

With that said, the Dysons are still too expensive for what they are.
