Dan Sullivan isn’t exactly a unique name. I bet there are thousands of people in the US with that name, and at least dozens in Alaska alone. Why should one guy get to own that name for elections, and disqualify any challengers who share the same name? What about even more common names like John Smith?

I get that it creates a unique challenge to design the ballot so that it’s clear. I also don’t see that as a difficult task, given that they have different middle initials and one will be listed as the incumbent. Their campaigns will probably emphasize the initials, with something like “The S is for Serious” (except better).

This is the most accurate answer. If you really wanted to, you can probably get a refund from the other state for the sales tax paid, but it only makes sense for very large purchases.

I’m a sane world, removing the brake pedal (etc) would only occur after extended disuse. When the technology is mature enough and so reliable that it’s a wasted feature that never gets used, and hasn’t been used in a long time.

Not when the technology is brand new and this is something still needed on a regular basis.

How did they get to unveiling without anyone reviewing the design? Or did everyone inside Ferrari sign off on it as being acceptable?

TIL that Toyota finally has more than 1 single model of EV. It’s still a short list, but at least it’s no longer the only one.

Focus on the business needs. What do you need? Why do you/they need it? What will they have that they don’t have now? This part is very important. If you can’t come up with a compelling business case, then there’s no reason to move forward on it.

How much will it cost? Are there any cheaper options? Some places would rather hire a $100k/year sysadmin rather than buy a $10k/year license. Other places will get excited when you talk about reducing support staff. Keep that in mind. Also, some places are more concerned about how replaceable someone is, so using standard products are more valuable than price or capability.

When you’re evaluating options to recommend, try to get information about the entire landscape. There’s a very good chance that they’re already paying for Microsoft E5, which means you already have a license for Intune that you aren’t using. If not, you can pitch it as a total package with other benefits.

ETA: Security is a really big deal at most companies. Internal and external threats, data loss, exfiltration, legal compliance requirements, etc. But smaller places often won’t care until they’ve been burned.

Hybrids (at least Toyota hybrids; unclear about other brands) don’t just use a smaller engine - it’s a much more efficient engine design. However, this design also requires performance compromises that are only acceptable because there’s an electric motor supplementing it.

Someone else already linked the Technology Connections video that covers it in much greater detail.

Huge is subjective, but there are many solar farms today running on just a few acres. Some quick googling says that community-based and commercial farms typically run on 10-40 acres, generating between 50-200 megawatts. If you consider 40 acres to be a huge farm, then sure. But it doesn’t make much sense to run these in a decent populated area anyway. This is no different than coal, gas, or other power plants today, albeit for different reasons.

As for huge batteries, yes, we will need them once solar power capacity reaches a point where generation in the day exceeds the demand. As it stands, many places still have off-peak pricing at night. Solar would need to counterbalance that completely before we need huge batteries for solar.

“solar-powered cars” have been tried many times because it’s a great headline, but the math never works. Cars simply don’t have enough surface area to capture a lot of solar power. The amount of energy is low enough to not be worthwhile, except in the most extreme edge cases.

It can be, and traditionally has been. But how fast do you think you can bring a solar farm online? Securing the land and zoning is probably the biggest delay, followed by running lines to the grid.

It’s 12 amps even. It’s the 80% rule for continuous draw, defined as expected use to run for 3 hours or more. That’s why a space heater is 1500 watts, but a hairdryer is 1800.

That sounds a lot like Lordstown, which collapsed incredibly soon after beginning production. Part of the issue was that their target audience (fleets with basic work trucks) isn’t so fond of relying on a small, unestablished startup.

This is why I’m hesitant to say Adam Baldwin. He’s always the same basic character, but I think there are enough subtle differences between them to not count.

For the record, Gates did NOT go to the island, ever. Not even once.

He was a frequent guest at Epstein’s Manhattan penthouse, but never the island. He refuses to say why he never went to the island, other than saying it’s not for him. It is rumored he caught an STD from someone at the penthouse.

None of this excuses Gates, since he clearly associated with Epstein. Just correcting the record on a detail.

Way back in the day, Last.fm recommended me a number of (mostly metal) tracks in other languages that absolutely slap. I have no idea how to pronounce any of it, or even type the characters to see what else they might have done. All I can do is copy/paste, which is of limited value since I only speak English.

So yes, and I’m sure I’m missing a ton more just like these that I just have no way to find.

If they’re not going to collect a judgement, they want it to at least be an enormous judgement they’re not collecting.

Theoretically it could be done. Microsoft SCCM has allowed in-place full reimaging for a long time. It downloads a WinPE boot image (which loads everything into a RAM disk), reboots into that, and launches all of the rest from there. Even wiping and repartitioning the drive.

I don’t see why that WinPE image couldn’t be replaced by a small Linux image, or that you could install Linux from WinPE. I’ve just never seen it.

That said, no browser should ever have that level of permissions, ever, under any circumstances. The security problems would be staggering.

It’s certainly a good place to start, but there is a fuckton of very important details not included in that video.

For starters, Legal Eagle (but not Devin) released a second video about the actions of the American Fork Police Department.

Coffeezilla got interviews with many key players not seen elsewhere. This covers numerous possibilities of theft, embezzlement, lies and cover-ups.

The Civil Rights Lawyer goes into much greater detail of the situation with the American Fork PD, and the criminal charges pending. He also discusses a number of possible civil suits against the PD.

The agent is a local, usually small business, and acts as a buyer on your behalf. They guide you on coverage to get, and the options available to you.

Those quotes come from the major insurance companies you always see advertised. They are the ones underwriting your coverage. These are almost invariably faceless corporations, with decisions by faceless computers.

The local agent can’t do anything but recommend coverage elsewhere.
