“THE SMART STATE” = Here there be Bogans...

The “M BREW” is blatant stereotyping, and Austin should feel attacked.

Yes, let’s contrast this case with the Texas “rolling coal” incident.

I saw an interview with him a few days back (with Jake Tapper) and apparently he’s back. They had a discussion about parental leave as part of the interview. It’s amazing how pathetic the U.S. is when compared to our economic peers when it comes to leave policy. Buttigieg is a good interview. He’s a very sharp guy.

It will never happen. Car makers love that sweet, sweet data they collect from their telematics systems. And when it comes to data, Apple doesn’t share. There’s no way auto manufacturers will fall into that particular trap.

All subscriptions all the time are our autonomous vehicle future. When the cars drive themselves why would anyone need to “own” one?

It should sell out there as a source of backup power. If I needed a truck that would be reason enough for me, given that I live in the sticks too.

If people didn’t care about politics with respect to vehicles, we wouldn’t have people rolling coal and using their “Brodozer” trucks to block EV charging stations.

Florida, Florida, Texas, and Michigan. One of these things is not like the others, but having witnessed it firsthand I’m going to say it definitely belongs.

Damn. That’s Boilermaker Pete levels of creepy...

This article is not complete without referencing the Storycorps short honoring Wendell Scott.

I’ve had a few over the years. Only one stands out though.

Was it perhaps a trademark thing?

You can stop them. But you have to do it at the payment level. Severely curtail the use of cryptocurrencies and their ability to be converted to conventional currencies.

That’s a part of what’s going on for sure.

That’s probably not going to happen. What probably will happen, though, is severe regulation of cryptocurrencies. If you remove the means of making anonymous payments, you’ll remove the incentive for ransomware attacks.

No, the reason to bring it up is to highlight the hypocrisy.

In a sense Apple already does this. They will fund a new foundry for TMSC in exchange for all of the output of that foundry for a fixed period of time. Afterwards TMSC is free to use it to service other customers. That’s why Apple gets the lion share of TMSC’s 5 nm process node at the moment. They paid to build the…
