I spend less of my time charging my EV than you spend filling your car's gas tank.
I arrive home, plug in and leave it. I don't have to stand by the car waiting for it to fill. In the morning, I unplug it. A few seconds to plug in and another few seconds to unplug. How long do you spend standing by your car at the gas station?
as soon as they send me a cheque for $36K I'll get one asapas soon as they send me a cheque for $36K I'll get one asap
A Nissan Leaf has a list price of less than $30k. Nissan had (probably still has) a $4k incentive program and the Federal Government will give you $7.5k. There may be state incentives also. So your out of pocket cost is only about $20k or less, depending on the state incentives.
Depending on your electricity cost, you may spend a lot less on energy for a Leaf than your Yaris.
And the Leaf isn't the cheapest EV around. A Fiat 500 costs even less.
You missed the point that the court would not allow Hellwig's expert's evidence. Perhaps it wasn't a case that Hellwig didn't have evidence, but instead that the court wouldn't listen to the evidence.
I don't know about the ESX version, but in my opinion, VMWare Workstation is a heap of steaming crap. We see VMs that slow down, even though the slow VM is the single VM that is busy on the host. Frequent re-starts appear to be the only solution to this.
We tried a shared filesystem (shared between the host and other guests) and performance was terrible.
I set up an account (so that someone else could not impersonate me and set up an account in my name/number).
However, I never received the SMS messages that the site claimed to have sent to me. I did this several times, although all around the same time.
My phone drops about 50-100% of all SMS messages that originate from AT&T (I'm on T-Mobile), so perhaps that might explain the problem, but I have never before had issues receiving SMS messages sent from other sources.
Interestingly, in the verification process it asked me to select a partial address that I had lived at from a list, and the correct address was one that I had lived in for only about 1 month. In other words, to impersonate me, you would need a full credit report on me, listing all addresses.
The design intention was to produce something more reliable, but the implementation failed miserably.
One of my employers used Token Ring quite extensively. A group within the company was building (or had built) a chip to implement a Token Ring NIC. The company was able to buy the complete Token Ring NICs at a good price, direct from the manufacturer (our customer for the chips).
I don't recall it being anything less than very reliable.
Poor reading or just want to maintain your bubble? Being exposed to different viewpoints is how you might learn something.
No, I just don't want to be bothered reading an article that starts with what is effectively a falsehood: that crime is rising. It isn't. I don't want to be bothered reading an article that is obviously not based on reality.
There may be some cities where crime is rising (hence justifying the misleading claim), but overall it is falling.
When you make a disingenuous claim in your first article, the rest is likely to be fact free.
I am not going to learn anything from someone else's falsehoods.
I clicked on the link. I didn't get beyond the first line: "Why is crime rising in so many American cities?"
An article that starts with a line that, while it may be true, is highly misleading and intended to deceive, or perhaps just pander to existing biases is not an article that can be taken as a reliable citation.
Indeed. The Intercept had a set of articles on what should be a scandal surrounding C8.
Remember folks, when those politicians want to "eliminate regulations", they want to eliminate regulations that protect people from pollution such as this. They want to give companies a free pass on putting dangerous chemicals into the environment.
The main point of the H1B visa waiver program is to enable US employers to hire skilled foreign workers. Period. The reason for hiring them, at least in Silicon Valley, is not to pay a bargain basement wage, but to enable US companies to hire the best and brightest in the world.
Perhaps in some companies, but mostly, it's to get cheap employees. It's not done directly: that would be illegal. Instead, a company will fire its employees and outsource the tasks. The outsourcing company will bring in a bunch of H1-Bs.
There are some categories under H1 for people with PhDs, perhaps that is legitimately used to hire the "brightest".
I came to the USA (twice) on H1-Bs and I am disgusted with the way it is used now.
Fun fact: when I got my first H1, the country from which the largest number of H1 visa immigrants came was the UK: a large number of fashion models.
Side note: A few years ago when I was doing my PhD, we did a nice little experiment when we found a floor-plan of an CS institute at Berkeley: We tried to identify which PhD students were American and which were not.
I would be interested how you would determine that. At the undergraduate level there are lots of Asians at UCB, but most were born in the USA -- their parents are 1st generation immigrants.
Another UC site, UCLA has an alternative meaning for the initials (You See Lots of...).
That's very interesting, but only a fraction of those H1-B holders have degrees from IIT. In fact, I would doubt that any of the H1-B holders working for the big Indian outsourcing companies got their degree at an IIT university.
With online voting, it is impossible to prevent coercion.
Also with postal voting. Note that I don't intend this as support for online voting: instead, postal voting should be restricted to people who cannot vote in person.
Your suggestion might hold water if: 1. T-Mobile USA were a wholly-owned subsidiary of DT. It's not. DT is the largest shareholder in T-Mobile USA, but it only owns about 72% of the outstanding shares. This makes such agreements impossible. 2. The free data roaming agreements were bilateral. I haven't seen any indication of this. 3. The data roaming were limited to a T-Mobile network in the foreign countries. It's not. 4. DT actually owned the T-Mobile subsidiaries in all countries. It doesn't, for example, in the UK, T-Mobile is part of EE, which is owned by BT Group.

Where I live, lots of people charge at work, often free.

Combined with VMWare firing the desktop developers, I cannot understand why anyone would pay for this.

Unconditional, yes.
With a basic income, many other programs don't need to exist or can be unconditionally reduced. Tax brackets and rates can be adjusted.
All of these adjustments can be unconditional because everyone gets the Universal Basic Income.
You don't have to give everyone a net amount of $10k/year:
1. Kids.
2. Welfare no longer required by recipients.
3. Reduced social security payments.
4. Increased taxes.
No one is suggesting that everyone gets a flat amount with no recovery in other programs and taxes.
That's why you have combination hammer/seatbelt cutter readily available.

This is really a "film at eleven .." article. Lawyers say whatever benefits their employers. That's the beginning and the end.
The truth? Most of these corporate lawyers simply don't care if what they say is true or not.

You think that vehicles that may do only a few hundred miles per year should be treated the same as vehicles typically doing over 10,000 miles?
Oh rly?
What we see here is yet another example of how the manufactures of IoT devices don't give a shit about security.

When I first tested this, all it needed was a UK based DNS server. The VPN wasn't necessary. Has this changed?

So, in summary: you are wrong.
In other news, archive.org becomes inaccessible due to excessive load.
