There are also going to be issues with how bleeding edge AI gets sold. If the AI that can detect security exploits is real, the AI owner isn't going to sell open access to that model.

I suspect that, if the AI is really that good for certain tasks, it won't get sold on a token model but something more akin to human work.

The Suez Crisis was the last major diplomatic action that the USA took against Israel, with the USA using its ownership of British and French debt to keep the Suez Canal Egyptian. After that, Israel invested a lot help shape the perception of Israel to Americans and invested in several pro-Israeli candidates in both parties through AIPAC and other means. It worked well.

Most music biopics are trash because the living get far more editorial control compared to other biopics because of the music rights. This was never going to be a movie that challenged Michael Jackson as a person.

What would you do if he wasn't your dad? What if it was another employee that made a mistake like this?

Even though he is your dad, he is also your employee in this case. If your relationship with him is healthy, this should be something you two can work through in both family and in business.

Have you tried various sources of water? I can usually taste the difference between various bottled waters, let alone tap water from different places. Maybe you don't like the local tap water.

Spain has a similar region filled with greenhouses. The test case used for solar voltaics is for a crop that is sensitive to temperature, so a minor loss in exposed radiance may be preferable to a consistent growing temperatures.

I feel like it also depends on where the land is regarding growing. France is an agricultural giant and would probably compare to California in regards to land values. Yet, both places have an enormous agricultural output.

It is also getting back to my statement as to what kind of farming would benefit from having plants compete with silicon for solar radiance. The best trade off is greenhouses, where is already an attempt to trade some weather exposure for climate control. I don't see this technology being used for open fields because of how it will affect open farming. And in cases where European farmers use greenhouses to grow vegetables for longer parts of the year, American farmers trade off growing seasons based on latitude.

How many places outside of Europe regularly use green houses for agriculture?

For Europe, integrating solar voltaics into the existing greenhouse covers seems like a decent idea. Most of the infrastructure is already there and there are various breeds of plants designed to be grown there.

North America, in contrast, doesn't use greenhouses outside of niche crops. There is no infrastructure set up, crops are grown where natural temperatures are adequate, and breeds are selected to take full use of the sun.

Agri-pv may work in Europe because of how agriculture works there, but it may not scale to other parts of the world.

Tops of buildings, over canals, may be even over roads and rail.

It isn't that far out of reach that a car park gets covered in solar panels, then the next developer reuses them when redeveloping the site for denser development.

She thought she could "fix" you and then it didn't work?

Applied to a college I never heard of across the country because they let me apply for free. Went to that college.

Yo mamma's so fat they had to expand cetacean ops so she could be on the ship.

Flying in Europe, it is about a 50/50 chance as to whether you get on the plane from a jet bridge or you take a bus to the plane parked on the tarmac. In contrast, most US airports have jet bridges, even when the plane is small unless it is a very small airport.

Why?
