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.

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.
Obligatory fuck eagle dynamics
The western world has a very black and white view of the conflict. The Taiwanese/Chinese view it in a much more complicated way that’s a bit hard to grasp as a westerner.
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.
Or not subsidize oil and gas to the tune of ~$20 billion/yr and corn at $2.2 billion/yr and redirect that towards EVs.
Yeah until we literally run out of roofs, fields, parking lots, and fucking ocean space and are contemplating a fucking Dyson sphere I really don’t understand these projects.
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.
You’d need exactly two skyscrapers actually
We require additional desert power
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.
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.
Ugh I’m literally procrastinating on a contact for this right now. Please go back to being non credible.
And if your nav system crashes, so does your car
This is the real answer, there are soooo many Mormon gun companies and defense contractors it’s fucking wild.
Yes, but it’s harder to fight such a large incumbent when all the money is just going to the incumbent
This seems like an odd move. Let China pay money to use ClosedAI hallucinations instead of using the money to develop their own hallucinations that the US has no insight into.
There’s no technology transfer if they just using the hallucination outputs, it’s just free money for trash.
No, 9/11 security theatre
