A car has up to 55 sq. ft. available to panel. A good solar panel gets maybe 20 W/sq. ft. efficiency. An electric car has around an 80 kWh battery. A day has roughly the equivalent of 5 hours of full sunlight.

Then you just multiply/divide everything together, and you get 14½ days.

Those all sound like efficiency issues still. Covering any form of transportation with solar panels is primarily pointless because of how little power that would generate. Even if you covered every available inch with the most efficient panels invented, it would take over two weeks of sitting in full, direct sunlight to charge a solar-powered car, which you would drain in four hours of driving. As these panels are half as efficient as traditional panels, you could drive maybe ~~a~~ two minutes per hour you sit in full sun.

It would slightly increase wind resistance. Every car has weather stripping, making water not a concern even for comparatively very large gaps.

Regardless of whether you think it's justifiable or not to bomb buildings with both militants and civilians, it's not a war crime.

But beyond that, you're claiming Palestine isn't doing war crimes‽

For which ones? Most are mutual insurance companies, where any profit has to legally be paid back to the customers.

A lot of insurance companies—arguably most of the ones used—are not for profit: American Family, COUNTRY, generally Blue Cross Blue Shield, Liberty Mutual, Northwestern Mutual, any other company with "mutual" in the name, USAA, Farmers, State Farm, Progressive, etc.

The only explanation I can come up with is that the workers and Altman both agreed in monetizing AI as much as possible. They're worried that if the board doesn't resign, the company will remain a non-profit more conservative in selling its products, so they won't get their share of the money that could be made.

If the workers actually quit and jump to Microsoft, they would be in a much worse position than they are currently in.

No, Section 230 protects TikTok as a platform. He would have to sue the ad creator.

You're saying that the solution would be to hold TikTok liable in this case for failing to prevent fraud on its platform? In that case, we wouldn't even really need a new law. Mostly just repealing or adding exceptions to Section 230 would make platforms responsible. That's not a new solution though. People have been pushing for that for years.
