Europe, USA and the rest of the world can easily turn into what Russia had become, if certain actions are allowed to take place.

If Trump had his way (change constitution/replace/kill his opposition), we could have authoritarian state in USA in 5-10 years. EASY.

Whats happening in Russia should be a contestant reminder for the rest of the world of what happens when you dont have a system of check and balances. When you dont have functioning legal system. When you dont have freedom of speech / freedom to protest.

they had some big issues with their labs compliance if i remember correctly

dogs were built up by humans. dogs are connected to humans on emotional level, so this is not surprising.

cool stuff. thanks for sharing!

LOL

People who are moving out now - are mostly renters. Homeowners will move out when they lose their jobs and cant afford high mortgages.

that's an excellent point!!

It's always interesting to think about who has had the more successful, fulfilling life between Woz and Jobs.

“You smell like a toilet.” This is what Steve Jobs told his daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs while on his deathbed, she wrote in her new shocking tell-all memoir about her bumpy relationship with her father.

“I was afraid of him and, at the same time, I felt a quaking, electric love,” she wrote.

In her memoir, titled “Small Fry”, Brennan-Jobs says that a lot of her memories with her father were not a typical father-daughter relationship. She talks of him denying paternity despite a DNA match, not sending financial help to her and her mother, and saying mean things to her in the little times that he spent time with her.

Who else buys pick up trucks?

double the range 2x400miles - pound for battery pound.

> Plus, the battery pack created during the research was 50 percent smaller than a conventional lithium-ion battery.

...so if you put the same pound for pound battery size (Tesla Li-ion 400miles) you'd get 800-1000miles per charge?

Time to change a job...

1 meeting a week here .. Management is super against wasting everyone's time in endless useless meetings.

By 2027 all amazon delivery vehicles will be fully self driving. Cost savings due to logistics improvements will be enormous!

Totally makes sense. Fun fact: In the past i was involved in a company where they implemented anonymous feedback system. The feedback system did so well .... that they shut it down in a month and never discussed the results. It uncovered too many problems that nobody in the management wanted to address. This company is on the verge of bankruptcy now, 5 years after those surveys..

When people are allowed to speak up freely - truth will come out quickly. (Yes, you will get some noise too, but id rather adjust my signal to noise ratio then just deal with meaningless noise all the time).

"If consumers were beating down car dealership doors to buy every EV they could, car manufacturers would shift heavily towards EVs. If everyone buying a house were looping in a solar panel installation into their loan, we'd probably see more competition and faster price drops in solar panels."

this logic is part of the problem. you live in a privileged bubble where people buy electric cars and install solar panels on their houses. Median American household has only $10K saved up, many below that and live paycheck to paycheck. What EV/What homes/ solar panels? First we have to solve socio-economic wealth gap issue THEN address climate change.

"Climate change activism these days is almost entirely a concern of middle- and upper middle-class people in the industrial world: people, that is, whose lifestyles are disproportionately responsible for the dumping of greenhouse gases; people who use much more fossil fuel energy, and many more of the products of fossil fuel energy, than the average human being."

100% Agreed.

In reality, when interviewed by officers of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at LAX on June 7, 2020, Wang provided information that he was, in fact, still currently a “Level 9” technician in the PLA, employed by a military university lab.

Are you seriously telling me that the guy who is supposedly sent to "spy" in the US - just tells them at the border , oh hey, no i actually i lied - i work for Chinese military. I dont buy this - there is more to the story. I mean, do they waterboard foreigners at LAX?

Something does not add up here.

Regent Law Professor James Duane gives us startling reasons why we should always exercise our 5th Amendment rights when questioned by government officials.

There is. Its just not official.

They are funded by real estate taxes (high housing prices help fill local budgets) and income taxes.

its always been done this way.

Military spending trend is up for multiple decades.. regardless of who is in oval the office. Obama, or Trump, or Bush. There is no difference for the war machine in the long run, it keeps on working: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_...

Thanks for sharing! This is insane.

Surveillance of protesters:

Student leaders were put under close surveillance by the authorities, traffic cameras were used to perform surveillance on the square and the restaurants in the nearby area and where students gathered were wiretapped.[108] This surveillance led to the identification, capture and punishment of participants of the protest.[109] After the massacre, the government did thorough interrogations at work units, institutions and schools to identify who had been at the protest.[110]

In Soviet union it was KGB and their black Volga's coming in the early morning hours to pick up the "inconvenient" ones. Early morning hours were picked because there were not many witnesses around. How far away from KGB are any of these 3 letter angencies? DEA, FBI, CIA, NSA...?

Is it just me or is $50K is really low price to pay, almost like a slap in the face, for a satellite level vulnerability? If i remember correctly military satellites often carry civilian comm services: important business communications/financial networks etc.

What would be the black market price for something like this? It has to be at least 10x more at $500K as a low end. Realistically a million $+

No, they dont ask for complexity. They do want it to be simple but solve complex problems. There is a difference.

There is a beauty in creating simple solutions for complex problems. Not many are able to do that. And that is the way it is , always was, and always will be.

2months is nothing. dark times ahead unfortunately.
