The folks at the vineyard are pretty nice too! Guy had a programming background but decided to get into wine

Not really, no - they're kinda famous for being temperate due to the Atlantic currents

It also doesn't matter where it "started", F1 invested heavily in advancing these technologies before they became available in commuter cars and the tech either would have been delayed or never brought to the consumer market without that investment by F1. I'm hoping we see the same thing with FormulaE and electric vehicle technology though I think they need to scale back the regs and give producers more leeway to experiment there

Not a single example? F1 drove massive advancement in carbon fiber construction for cars, light-weight mono-body frames, turbo development which is how basically every ICE car meets emission standards, regenerative braking tech, composite material development - it's a pretty long list and F1 ends up being the development and proving grounds before manufacturers invest.

Hell, my car literally uses an aluminum monotub chassis directly inspired by F1.

There are a lot of faults with the FIA and the decision to spread races out all over the world including some very questionable countries and sponsors but that speaks to the business side and not the technology and engineering which has been quite impactful

I fear this is just going to accelerate companies offshoring jobs in the professional services and tech spaces and severely hurt our research institutes... H1-Bs have definitely been used to drive down wages in certain industries but this doesn't seem to be an effective way of combatting that

The opposite with HEB, they give to blue causes and candidates

Have you ever walked into a gas station and thought, "man, I really wish this was the size of a Walmart and filled with cheap trinkets ala FiveBelow but beaver themed, had children running everywhere, and mediocre bbq"?

I'm SaaS solutioning / sales and yeah, the shit is flying off the shelves at the enterprise level. AI is powerful and here to stay, what we have to worry about is HOW it's being used. We desperately need regulation in the space especially as it relates to lending, insurance, and healthcare

Again, please read the article. The more apt comparison would be if McDonald's Plumbing started selling and marketing burgers. This is a pretty straightforward case and will likely be settled for a sum that can be found in Netflix's/AEG's couch cushions. Also, "maliciousness" is not a factor in determining trademark infringement.

Did you read the article? They are now doing a live tour of KPop Demon Hunter" and they have at least one example of there being confusion in the market. AEG and Netflix could have promoted the tour as HUNTR/X: KPop Demon Hunters or something to avoid this. I suspect there will be a settlement as just because there was no confusion when it was just a movie doesn't mean they can go into live concerts with the same name.

Tbh, the Midwest gives the US a bad name when it comes to food preferences. The south spices the hell out of foods, the southwest has a ton of Mexican influence, the west coast has both Mexican and Asian influence in their cuisine

Because these areas have been designed and used as major thoroughfares so absent significant planning, drivers are now forced though an even tighter choke point in their commutes. And with people already working insane hours and having to live further and further from their jobs due to lack of affordable housing options and absolutely no public transportation - an extra 10-15 minutes puts people closer to their breaking point.

These "solutions" seem to be ignoring the larger more systemic problems, making daily life worse for the majority of people, and then strutting around like it's a success
