Absolutely, it's not their problem or their business.
But the 2025 tax cuts saved just Facebook ~$11bn in 2025 alone. Meaning across all US mega-corporations there are trillions of dollars not being allocated in whichever way voters want, but going to pet projects and yachts because they have more money than they can reinvest in their business or know what to do with.
Just Facebook spent $80bn over ~10 years while paying less of their income in taxes than anyone reading this.
The WHO estimates $7-8 billion a year to end world hunger.
RAM has not come from China, and China isn't exporting much of it yet. Unless Canada and the EU and Japan and everyone else is also handing out tariffs on Taiwan, Korea, etc like the US is, their point was the price of RAM doesn't have anything to do with tariffs.
The price of RAM is high globally because the AI companies have bought future-RAM with money the RAM producing companies gave them to build data centers that don't exist yet.
The hyper green golf courses in Vegas are truly eye catching when you fly in as well.
Yes.
Which is why it's bad that the only 3 companies with capacity currently are colluding.
If we can reduce the shockwave from sonic booms that could directly lead to more efficient plane engines. The main current impediment they have is the tips of the turbine blades can only get so close to the speed of sound before they explode from the forces they're experiencing.
Which could have knock-on effects for anything involving an airfoil moving through a fluid. Helicopters, boats, wind turbines, hydro-power, etc.
Better understanding and control of the physics / materials science at the sound barrier would be very good news.
They're publicly traded companies. Their investor meetings point out that HBM is not more profitable.
It is in theory more guaranteed profit because it's a smaller number of bigger contracts. But that's the gamble they're making.
It literally sounds like he'd never seen Texas before. Especially around the big cities it's a car centric hellscape unless you're in some very specific neighborhoods.
I get a lot done with physical buttons and time / condition automations but sometimes it's nice to just do a one off action from the couch.
I've built some md5stack little speaker things and they work okay. Weird audio artifacts sometimes though.
They're trying to say that the guess of the "prediction market" will give early warning to evacuate.
It's been one of their "We're not gambling" defenses but applying it to wildfires really highlights how bonkers it is.
GPS is a passive receiver.
There's processing going on, but you dramatically decrease energy use by just updating less often.
It's not like you're sending a signal to space.
The Honeywell ones are nice and simple and have instructions for whichever number of wires you already have. With stickers for easy labeling as your removing the old one. They have a few models for whichever network you prefer.
The different wires can be intimidating, but they're all standard colors. And your dumb thermostat is already wired with everything you need. The smart one mostly just adds a radio.
The wires are basically: power to the thermostat, ground, and a number of different signal wires for "AC on", "furnace on", etc that when the respective wire gets 5v(?) that device turns on.
Thermostats are very simple devices that just regulate when the high voltage devices should turn on. Things do get a bit more complicated if you have a bigger house with multiple HVAC zones and stuff but most people don't have those. And even if you do, that's mostly just more wires to connect that will already be there.
