86-91% of Japanese households have air conditioning, including almost every single business of any kind. In France, it’s less than 25%, and it’s probably not at all rare to work, shop, and just generally spend time somewhere without it most of your day.
Heck, if it’s anything like here in Finland you probably still have a bunch of older hospitals around that aren’t properly air conditioned either yet.
It’s not hard to figure out why the numbers are 6000 to 1.
They would need to have more of them first for the data to actually be accurate at all. From what I could find, there have been no Waymo caused fatalities - two deaths caused by other drivers though - and four serious injuries, for roughly 220 million miles driven.
While you can then state that the rate of fatalities is 1 per 110 million miles, it’s not really useful in any way.
I really liked the concept art CD Projekt Red did for a CP77 version. The design itself isn’t all that bad, it just really doesn’t work for “In-Real Life 2024”.
Half of the panels on a cybertruck are just stuck on with glue and can be peeled off by hand.
It doesn’t seem like something all that hard to fix, they are falling off on their own already. If only they invented some mechanical way to hold car parts together instead of glue…
Being able to do that without losing face is one possible theory to why he keeps provoking NATO countries even while his three day special military operation is stalling at day 1609 with no end in sight - if they retaliated and joined in properly, he gets an excuse to stop as to not “continue” to WW3.
And now that they don’t have to report them, how do they ask you to pay for them?
Here in Finland, you sing up for an internet connection for a certain price a month, usually for 12/24/36 months at a time and… That’s literally it. E.g I have 250/250 fibre for 35€/month for the next year. If they want me to pay more, they’ll have to increase the price next year when I renew it.
Still, paying even just the $3000 for a single book from this lawsuit is going to be quite hard when you are making zero profit whatsoever. LLM AI was unprofitable when the training data was free, they are even more so if they have to pay even a cent per item. And I really doubt it’s going to stop with this one batch and payment and they can just go back to pirating the stuff for free.
That’s why fines should always be out of revenue, like the GDPR fines, and never profit. Just because the business you did illegally was bad business shouldn’t mean you don’t have to pay fines for it.
Well, that’s true.
But one fun quirk is that (at least here in Finland) the EU plate isn’t mandatory, you can get a clean one with no country code but then if you leave the country you are required to indicate your country of origin with a bumper sticker. So the automated license plate reader might need to be able to figure out from what country this is, and often that sticker will be stuck to the corner of the rear window.
Also a reminder - there will be no sticker on the front :)
It’s skinny so that they can stuff the sides full of ads.
There are no standard plates in the EU. The only matching thing is the country code on the left side.
That’s because the joke got updated to the newest OS version until CONFIG.SYS got entirely removed in Windows ME and it just didn’t work any more.
It’s originally from MS-DOS times. Earliest telling of it I know of is from 1996.
Frame was originally intended to be cheaper than the Index kit, Quest 3 was $499-$650, so maybe $700-850 depending on storage. Steam Deck got a $300 price hike just recently, so there’s a possibility it could still be closer to a grand than one and a half.
In most EU countries, the act of filming in public places is perfectly legal as there is “no expectation of privacy”. It only becomes a legal issue if you publish those videos, and even then it usually requires the person to be the focus of the video.
OpenAI isn’t running ChatGPT on RTX 5090’s, they use data centre hardware like the nVidia NVL72, which are entirely useless for anyone else. You wouldn’t even be able to boot it as it uses more power while idling than a residential home has access to, and up to 150kW at full load.
Technically. The vote was worded in a way that it was about removing the old law - stopping it from being renewed automatically - which requires a 2/3rds majority to happen.
She was convicted of murder, life in prison is the mandatory punishment for that in the UK currently, so, yes.
Back in 1955, actually up to 1969, the mandatory punishment for murder was execution.
Well, true. People, I.e private companies, can do all kinds of silly things like respect their workers, or think about the future, or prioritise a myriad of things that aren’t just short-term profits and investor pockets. For them, the term growth isn’t just about revenue and a graph on the stock market.
That doesn’t really work with a publicly traded company, especially when the people in charge get a bonus based on quarterly profits, even if the company makes decisions that destroy it in the future. Memory manufacturers know damn well this isn’t in any way a long term sustainable situation, but they are making the most (money) of it while they can.
Remember the whole BMW heated seats subscription thing? That was them trying to reduce configurations and price: instead of having to stock two configurations of every model/colour/engine etc combination, one with and one without heated seats, they installed them on all of them by default and you would have been able to either later buy the package like you used to (~500€) or only pay the subscription whenever you wanted heated seats (I.e in the winter).
IIRC Tesla does a similar thing with batteries, they use the same battery, but the cheaper model has the capacity and power draw restricted. One actual reason for it is that the shallower, gentles discharges mean less wear and fewer warranty claims, and therefore they can offer it for cheaper.
