30 years ago most people weren’t yet on the internet, there was very little entertainment media, you couldn’t use online accounts for most stuff, and most people didn’t have online bill paying. 30 years ago I helped bring my company online as the first full investment company, and my bank was still rare for doing online bill paying.

30 years ago, most of the US were in denial over climate change, renewable energy was expensive and there were no practical EVs.

OP is talking 6 AH batteries. If that’s all SiC can do, why would Apple use it in place of current 18AH batteries?

Apple was never leading edge - their goal is to incorporate when it works well

But you’re both cherry picking and wrong. There’s huge lists of features on every new phone, you’re picking two and deciding that means no innovation. Take a look at the dozens of other features on models from each manufacturer.

SiC batteries that offer 6-8k mAh

You’re complaining about battery chemistry that you believe is innovation, yet current batteries are much larger. Why switch if the technology is not as good yet?

Exactly, there’s a difference between socialism and empathy. A small business should not feel like they have to be charitable toward non customers just to show human decency, to make up for the gaps in our society and to have basic respect for another human. We should feel ashamed that there is such a need. Our society can and should ensure everyone gets basic needs met

Bicycles can go about 10mph

I’ve bicycled over 50 mph. Granted down a steep hill with a death wish. (Imagine bombing down a hill at insane speeds on a 45 mph road zooming past the cars).

Realistically people can and do maintain double that speed, and even faster for short distances or on an e-bike. That’s close to typical in town speed limits of 25-30 mph

Pedestrians include kids, who may not be predictable enough for cyclists to avoid and the huge difference in inertia between a kid and an adult travelling 20 mph is more than enough to cause serious injuries

It did give me the correct columns and rows but the formulae for calculations were off.

Did you tell it that? Assuming you were using an AI chat, you have the opportunity to provide additional info and have it try again.

Getting better success from LLM is a process of providing more context and refining things over iterations

For example I wanted it to generate a python data structure for me, along with lookup functions to cross reference the data. However I gave it further info about the data structures, the cross-mapping and how I wanted it normalized, and iterated a few times until I got something worth copy-pasting sections

Cyclists on the road are supposed to use hand signals to indicate turns, just like cars whose blinkers are not functioning

They should not be allowed in the sidewalk because they’re a hazard to pedestrians.

Bicycles are to pedestrians like cars are to bicycles. Every argument you can make about cars endangering cyclists also applies to cyclists endangering pedestrians.

Bicycles belong in the road because their speed is more similar to cars than pedestrians, their (lack of) maneuverability is more similar to cars than pedestrians.

Clearly three separate protected rights of way would be better than the current two

This is a big reason I still have optimism. In four years if we restore law and order, and get past MAGats yelling that it’s personal, all those groupies and hangers on can face justice for defrauding the country, flouting bribery laws, violating human rights, defying the constitution …… and turnip in chief won’t be there to pardon them.

I hope to see them all in jail. I hope to se his contemptuous children start a new dynasty in jail.

Wow! That’s much more exciting news!

Yep

If you were thinking of heading this direction, Canada is a great place to visit.

Until we recover our sanity, your tourist dollars are better spent pretty much anywhere else
