At some point race should fade away as some other trait like eye color or attached/detached ear lobes.

Having said that: if everyone who has attached lobes is being blamed for the world problems then I think you may get push back.

Toyota and others have been promising solid state battery tech. It's time for them to deliver yet these plants won't be ready until 2030. (If they can make it work at all.)

I wish them luck. But they are coming from the rear and have a long way to go.

Rest in peace Suzanne.

Her character and the thighmaster commercial often positioned her as a punchline, but I will always appreciated her spirit which had a Dolly Parton like quality - there was only love for her.

Having said that, October 16 is her Birthday (today) which she would have been 77. Mathematically living exactly 77 years on earth. (Assuming she had lived past her birth time of day yesterday.)

Property owners trolling local community IRL.

After personally speaking to a Taiwanese engineer working for TSMC in AZ, there is a major cultural difference, it shouldn't be overlooked.

People forget though, Intel is also expanding their plant in Chandler so this project is competiting for workers from within a diminished work force against a huge competitor. Intel doesn't need to be told how to pay and run US based capital projects.

If anything TSMC should be embarrassed they couldn't successfully forecast a huge capital project to completion. That's where the lack of competency and blame should be placed.

Oh man

That article wrapped me up in a cozy small town newspaper article, so basic in its nature to make you laugh a little about a sale of a sandwich costume that sold for $16,000 🫔

And something about lettuce 🥬

Here we go again.

Lawmakers: put back doors in end to end encryption.

Tech sector: we can't.

Lawmakers: think of the children.

Tech sector: it's math, if we weaken the tech, nothing is private.

Lawmakers: yes, or leave the market.

Tech sector: ok.

This has been playing out since the Clinton administration and the idea there, which failed was key escrow. Key escrow still isn't a solution becase the code is, now, open source.

The lawmakers want the public to have less privilege than the criminals, or they want the entire population to act as criminals by using freely available software. This shows no forethought.

Amazing it took this long! Must have been some creative accounting.

COVID, the CCP red lining capital rules, and the housing price collapse started 2 years ago. So congrats to Country Gardens for hiding this for 24 months.

China is going through their 2009 housing collapse now. It's going to be worse than 2009, at least for China, due to the combination of factors of the post pandemic world.

 

Developer be praised!

When you zoom into an image and move it to an image boundary Connect no longer exits zoom mode.

That was extremely frustrating.
