One lesson everyone should learn is anything you do in politics can eventually bite you in the ass.
When Harry Reid ended the fillibuster for (non-Supreme Court) judicial appointments in 2013, Mitch the Cocaine Turtle admonished "you'll regret this and maybe sooner than you think". Smashcut fast-forward and he was able to manipulate court appointments.
Likewise there are now some Republicans who want to nuke the fillibuster entirely to ram through the elections bill. Well what do they think is going to happen in a few years when they no longer have a majority? Dems will also be able to ram through anything and everything with a bare majority.
Same thing with these state level initiatives. There is no way to create a "magic tool" that your opponent can't also use against you eventually.
The article crucially says Toyota delayed participating in the first part of the cycle so they look "smart" only with luck and the benefit of selective retrospect. Sorta like a guy who got wasted and overslept and avoided dying in a plane crash.
I can attest this is true. Before the US $7,500 EV credit expired last year I went to multiple Toyota dealerships and they had zero meaningful EV offerings. They tried to put me in a truck.
If all AI really is classified as a "weapon" for export-control purposes, well... in the US possession of weapons is a protected individual right. The US gov should be training open weight models and encouraging self-hosting.
Guess I'm glad these preseason games are borderline unwatchable anyway.
Andy always runs the most vanilla placeholder offense imaginable and uses them as purely a data collection point about the marginal players on the roster, or to gather data about the opponent.
From a purely strategic perspective wouldn't the US be better off saying "no more attacks on shipping or we destroy Karg island entirely"?
Karg:
is a legit military target.
doesn't contain any civilian housing etc.
would cripple all IRGC income if destroyed.
would reverse any pragmatic incentive China has to side with Iran at all. If the realistic possibility of getting oil from Iran itself drops to zero, Chinas incentive flips to simply getting and keeping the straight open to all shipping.
I mean... I would hope so. I went to a couple Toyota dealerships last year and they had nothing available in this segment. They tried to sell me a truck.
It absolutely won't do that. You know how many millions of early generation Prusa and Ender 3 printers are in the US? Many of these models have no internet connectivity whatsoever and print from SD card.
What that means is they will also try to incorporate spyware into your CAD and/or slicer software, which is even more invasive.
There are so many spent casings in circulation that people can already reload their own ammo to last the next 100 years. Bullets can be cast. Even powders can be made.
Predicted IOT bullshit and Roombas.

Exactly. Cops don't want to start the "Best Girl" debate in the middle of traffic because they know how contentious that can get.

TR franchise built-in benchmarks have been used as a YouTube-friendly hardware review datapoint since 2015.
Maybe they're worried that in the current market almost nobody is going to have the hardware to run a nextgen AAA game with acceptable performance.
If they delay 2 years it's possible conditions could improve (though I wouldn't bet on it).
Cool. 1000 MVR is currently about $65 USD.
So for $130 plus the cost of framing, you can display both sides of the currency as art in your house.
"Ah fuck, it's just 14 copies of the Directors Cut of Gigli..."

Karg:
Great, one more thing to worry about
The US isn't signatory to any of the enabling treaties of the ICC and generally doesn't recognize its authority.
Freeza, it's bullshit, I did not hit you.
I did nahhht.
My go-to "relatively easy, quick and cheap" meal is some kind of grilled meat with a side salad.
Well meat is expensive as hell, and salad components are widely contaminated. FML I guess.
Muppet Apocalypse Now.
Muppet Gangs of New York.
Muppet Fight Club.
There Will Be (Muppet) Blood.
Muppet American History X.
Muppet Eyes Wide Shut.
The ambient soundtrack on this game fucking rips.

Its pretty easy to double nothing.
They are releasing the iX5, which seems pretty feature rich and has some decent range, but it costs $80K+ depending on the trim.
That price tag is gonna limit the market a bit.
It absolutely won't do that. You know how many millions of early generation Prusa and Ender 3 printers are in the US? Many of these models have no internet connectivity whatsoever and print from SD card.

This is a anti-privacy bill.
