Krang rule
  • In his circles apparently HGH is viewed, erroneously, as a life extension drug. It wouldn't surprise me for an instant if he was mainlining it out of a fear of dying like a common peasant.

  • Jay Powell says Donald Trump couldn't fire him even if he tried
  • Law is a human construct, it is essentially a consensus structure. You can hold up a piece of paper that says "I can do what I want" and maybe it's even legitimate, but you still need to convince other people of that and our legal structure/precedent puts more emphasis on process than being efficient or fast.

    In effect, the law has stopped trump from doing just about everything he wants to sans a few items. Every time he tries to do something he has to fight a bunch of people and that takes up some of his finite time and resources.

    Just because he has friends in all the high places doesn't mean everyone else will just jump into line and do exactly what he wants, the more people obstruct the less damage he can do.

  • Jay Powell says Donald Trump couldn't fire him even if he tried
  • I'd argue he is. Politics and law aren't deterministic, the rules are flexible and determined by how people interpret them. If it was actually a non issue he wouldn't bother saying anything. He's posturing and trying to make a case so that the admin is less likely to start that fight. Everyone has limited time and resources so making it seem like fucking with the Fed would take a lot of both lowers the odds they try.

  • China's New Hypersonic Passenger Plane Can Fly From London to New York in Under 2 Hours
  • Let's not forget that the Concord failed in 2003. I wonder what started happening around then that made that actual flying part a smaller fraction of the overall time spent traveling.....

    Even if you can step through a portal and instantaneously get to London from NY, if you still have to go through the rest of the airline process the time savings just isn't that huge.

  • Fox rule
  • No, the people who make DCS world.

    I guess we can fuck GD too though, I almost accepted an offer there until I got warned off by a friend. The primes are never fun places to work.

  • EU to Impose Tariffs Up to 45% on Chinese Electric Vehicles
  • Western manufacturing tends to be much more automation heavy. Chinese manufactures don't bother with buying a $100k machine that can make a car part when they can just hire 10 guys at $10k/yr to make that same part with a $50 drill press and some hand files.

    It's not that it all strictly balances out, but if we actually gave a shit we could potentially be cost competitive for a lot of price brackets, especially given the costs to move whole ass cars across the Pacific.

    Bear in mind these sub $10k Chinese EVs are not something US consumers would really be interested in buying, they are basically tiny car shaped golf carts with extremely minimalist feature sets. Think 'no audio system at' all type interiors.

  • John Deere is still hindering farmers' ability to repair their machinery, US senator warns
  • Deere just seems to be the most short-sighted company in the industry. I was in the market for a tiny tractor and even the fucking loader buckets are proprietary. Every other brand standardized on the skid steer/track loader interface so you can use all the attachments that are widely available but if you want to use them on a Deere you need to pay extra for a special adapter. There is literally nothing better about their system, it's just designed to make you buy their attachments.

  • Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops
  • If you absolutely have to hand over your phone, turn it off completely, like hold the power button and then tap the off icon. That will dump any keys out of RAM, which is why it always requires the full password to unlock when you turn it back on. Both in terms of how your phone works and the leaks we've seen, the cracking tools the police have are overall significantly less likely to be successful when used on a phone that's been turned off and not unlocked since.

    Also, IIRC iphones have a feature where they will dump at least some of the system keys from RAM if you push the lock button five times. I'd still trust fully off more but that's easier to do covertly.

  • ‘It scared them off’, Kansas City shoppers report less crime thanks to security robot patrolling strip mall
  • They mean the Bluetooth MAC address. It'll capture your phone's and can tell who the manufacturer is but the rest of the address is randomized. That said, lots of watches/earbuds/assorted smart Bluetooth things aren't randomized because manufacturers are lazy.
