This is bullshit.

TikTok's US incorporation is a facade, a thin veneer, over an otherwise corrupt CCP. To the extent that TikTok, through its control of what users see, can influence elections, it is a political player, and should be subject to the Foreign Agents Registration Act. The only reason it isn't explicitly yet is because the full extent of its influence is not widely understood among the general public.

TikTok's danger has never been the more widely publicized privacy issues, but rather, the algorithm that is itself a censor of anything the CCP doesn't want a user to see. First Amendment arguments in the context of TikTok that ignore that TikTok itself censors its users are just mind boggling. One could argue that the government can't shut down the Wall Street Journal, but the WSJ is not a foreign actor. TikTok could continue to exist, with actual, unencumbered American ownership, but not as a CCP propaganda vehicle. The First Amendment does not guarantee that.

Proving you don't know what you are talking about, there's no "starting" a Tesla. You get in and drive. The car wakes up from sleep before you can get the seat belt fastened and put the transmission into Drive. There's no start button, no engine to ignite, nothing to start. You get two free key cards that are size of credit cards that will unlock the doors and give the car permission to drive. However, almost nobody uses them as the phone app will unlock and provide permission to drive with NO interaction required by the user. You don't "use" the smartphone in the conventional sense of having to interact with the smartphone to make the car work. If you have to explicitly start an EV, then the manufacturer is doing something wrong.

It is the same rule and policy for all prior renewals. You are required to mail in your passport with your renewal application using the traditional process1. You have _never_ been able to travel between the time you applied for renewal and you received your new passport. So why the outrage? Just be happy that processing time is way down from 2023.

$47k. Steering wheel stalks and a volume knob. Squint and it's a 4 door hatchback.

Presumably a person renting a Tesla from Hertz doesn't have the Tesla app on their phone, which means if they put the car on a supercharger, and say, that supercharger is in or near their hotel parking lot, and they go to sleep, there's no way for them to get notified as to when the idle fees will start kicking in. Tesla bills Hertz a dollar a minute in idle fees, Hertz passes it along to the customer. For this particular problem Tesla shares some blame in not implementing a process that would avoid this for the Hertz fleet.

Fine. Here's the real wording of the bill. https://selectcommitteeonthecc... Did you even read it? Where does it ban VPNs or control speech? Your statement is simply a lie.

According to The Economist, it's more like 28 million excess deaths. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.economist.com%2Fgrap...

You have obviously never dealt with IT in a school district. TechyImmigrant describes school computer resources distributed to students to a T. There's no way those schools are ever going to allow some random linux box on their network. And if you can't get on their network how are you going to maintain and manage 30+ machines for a classroom?

This statement is woefully ignorant. A 30A/240V circuit, which many homes already have, or can be added for less than a $1000, will get you about 25 miles an hour of charge. That's well over a potential 200 miles a night. This will more than satisfy 95% of trips. Supercharger speeds at home is absolutely silly.

Yesterday. The case in New York has resulted in paralysis in the 20 year old patient.

So said the country whose abhorrent animal practices unleashed this virus on the planet. What does that show you about China's care for the rest of humanity?

By that logic, if you set an Android phone on top of the desk then you Linux on the desktop. Billions of those have been sold to a largely non-expert audience.

My guess is that synopsis is incorrect and this is not Amazon Go, but rather the Amazon Dash carts which they have at an Amazon Fresh near me. You scan a QR code on a cart and as you place items in the cart it scans the barcode of the item and weighs it. For produce you just enter the product code on a touchscreen and place the produce in the cart where it's weighed. Cheeses and other deli items are sold only prepackaged in known weights. It actually works really well and walking the cart through the exit scan is exceedingly convenient. I now prefer it over other forms of shopping. If only shelves weren't consistently half bare at my local Amazon Fresh.

How is this still up on Amazon's site? The whole fake seeds thing got lots of publicity about a year back. I'll respect their commitment to not selling fraudulent goods, when they take down obviously fraudulent listings. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2F1000Pcs...
