Comment If you don't hire entry-level workers now... (Score 1) 64

... where will you find experienced workers seven years from now? Seems like someone's making a really big bet on AI improving a whole lot soon. And when the next AI winter comes, a lot of people will be paying a lot more for the workforce they need.

If the summary is correct (which isn't a guarantee, I know), they didn't straight up lie; nobody intentionally made the modifications, it was the photo editing software that tried to be helpful. You can certainly criticize them for not noticing the changes, but my guess is that whoever originally said they didn't modify the photo just asked other people and didn't personally check for themselves.

The point at which some environmentalism reveals itself as misanthropy is where "don't feed the animals" is commanded because it's "unnatural."

Most "don't feed the animals" rules are because people tend to feed animals "unnatural" foods like processed grains and meats, which aren't safe for the animals to eat.

Comment Re:Norway is cold AF (Score 1) 230

Norway is relatively small.

Which should work against EV's with a smaller power grid and lower population density for chargers.

Norway has a relatively large fiscal surplus from natural resource exports they partly spend on EVs.

US has also given tax subsidies to EV's for decades. Hasn't given them dominant market share.

Norway has a relatively high percentage of citizens with private parking.

It's relatively trivial to put chargers on streets like parking meters running off the existing grid.

Norway being relatively cold doesn't mean much.

It certainly does when cold is a well known battery killer.

The issue wasn't the climate, it was the tax policy that made EV ownership popular in Norway.

US has also had tax policies favoring EV's for decades. That hasn't given them dominant marketshare like Norway.

While the technology is there to call the EV a "mature technology" the manufacturing isn't nearly on the same level of ICEVs.

Doesn't change the fact the tech is there and ready for mass scaling.

If EV's can work in Norway, they can work anywhere. Speaking of, shouldn't you be FOR electric vehicles to be run off of nuclear power grids?

This works for Norway because their vehicle demand is relatively tiny compared to the rest of the world, there's enough global EV production that demand created by this tax in Norway had no real impact on EV prices.

Nothing stops vehicle manufacturers from making more EV's when it's a mature technology.

Putin wanted nothing but peace, McCarthyite cocksucker. That's why he put up with your bullshit for eight years after you overthrew Ukraine to use against Russia. We both know if the reverse happened the US would have bombers in the air in eight minutes if Russia overthrew Canada or Mexico to use as bases on America's border.

Dumfucked cocksucker is extremely dumbfucked. And a cowardly sack of shit to not post under a UID.

USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) plays a significant role in global family planning and reproductive health, providing contraceptive supplies and support to developing countries.

Only as an infinitesimally tiny side hustle. Their first, second.....hundredth priorities are subverting and overthrowing foreign governments for American hegemony. Do you pretend the CIA and Pentagon are humanitarian agencies?
