Getting the real requirements nailed down from the start is critical, not just doing the work the customer asked for. Otherwise, you get 6 months into a project and realize you must scrap 90% of the completed work; the requirements from the get-go were bad. The customer never fundamentally understood the problem and you never bothered to ask. Everyone is mad and you lost a repeat customer.

AI mostly seems useful when you don't know a specific concept and just need the base ideas. That said, given it's often confidently wrong and doesn't involve humans actively steering you toward better ideas, I still find Stack Overflow more helpful. Sometimes the answer to your problem is to stop doing what you are trying to do and attack the problem from a different angle.

In Germany, NL, you can just plug it into socket and it works somehow.

This is incredibly dangerous as it will feed power into the grid even when the grid is down. You might say 'that is great!', yeah, well, the line technicians who cannot work on damaged cables because you are energizing them think otherwise.

One of the reasons home solar grid-feeding systems are expensive in the US is they have extra equipment to disconnect the system from the grid if the grid goes down. Your house can still have local power, but you won't be energizing powerlines technicians are trying to fix.

BYD is heavily subsidized by China. Tariffs to offset the Chinese subsidies are reasonable.

Apple still has it as Gulf of Mexico.

Most of the steel used by American firms is already domestically produced, according to a 2022 Congressional Research Service report — though the percentage of aluminum imports used by U.S. firms is much larger.

Not everything is politics. Enjoy some football!

I second your idea of going with Pi-Hole. It is purpose-made for this and easy to setup.

Edit: Whoops, double posted. Internet is being poopy today apparently.

I doubt they are broadcasting anything live anyway, they could just download the SIM card when it gets back to base

These are suicide drones. They ram into the target and explode to create casualties. There is no 'going back to base'. Everything they do is broadcast live as that is how they are controlled by the FPV pilot. Whatever poor signal they get through Russian jamming and ground interference is what there is.

With what signal are you going to transmit that detail? You can see the signal is not transmitting everything as-is.

About 300 North Koreans were killed and 2,700 wounded

North Korea sent 10,000 troops. The stated 30% loss rate means the units are combat ineffective. The only real choices are to withdraw or send more.

That's standard for FPV drone videos. Ground interference reduces the signal in the last second, and you aren't putting 4k cameras on the one-time-use drones that get poor and EWed signal to start with. Link one has many faces seen, link two even also has a closeup at 4:27. The interviews are also full of closeups in high res.

You can choose to ignore the combat footage of North Koreans soldiers dying for Russia's invasion of Ukraine, you can ignore the interviews of captured North Koreans in Ukraine, you can ignore the intel reports from the US, Ukraine, and South Korea if you want. You can choose to believe whatever you want.

B&H is my online go-to, with Amazon as a backup. If you have a Micro Center near you, they are a great option as well.

Sure do. Content warning, it's combat footage:

Yep! I think the more-rigorous version of Betteridge's law is: Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by discarding the insinuation in the question.

Ukraine captured and publicly interviewed a pair of them.

There is publicly available combat footage of North Korean assaults beaten back with drones.

The answer is a resounding: yes, they were demonstrably there helping with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Specifically in the Kursk region.

They also banned a shitload of NSFW subs today.

Put a percentage of every paycheck into an index fund (ex: VTI) and sit on them for a few years. You too will have capital gains.

Average returns on index funds are 6%-8%/yr, compounding. They are a solid long-term investment.

Tesla is not Musk, yes companies are taxed differently than individuals. Notably by profit, not income.

Musk paid $11b in capital gains tax when he sold, that is how capital gains taxes work for everyone. Same as you and me.
