You hear that? That's inflation jumping back up to like 10% all thanks to this bullshit.

Get yourself a marketable skill. Flipping a burger ain't it.

Why should anyone bust their ass learning a skill like welding or going to school for information technology or becoming a dental assistant or becoming an electrician when burger flippers will only be making a few dollars an hour less? Where is the incentive to better yourself, learn and get a better job?

This is such a mess that Lemmings are going to love it! LOL

I was looking for that exact same thing.

Something tells me this news from Egypt will get a lot less press even though it probably is even more Important.

What car has almost 500 miles of range at 80% state of charge?!

While new models get released all the time, the Lucid Air is known to have one of the longest EV ranges and it is around 510 miles from 100%.

A car would have a total range of around 625 miles at 100% if it is getting 500 miles at 80%.

Tell me you drive Dodge without telling me you drive Dodge.

I do not think it is a coincidence that Tesla has recently released the updated Model 3 to some decently positive reviews. I think that is in no small part to Musk being so distracted by Twitter that he hasn't been able to fuck up things over at Tesla in a while.

How is this not the top post? There is no other show that has gone on for longer than should have ended ages ago.

Orange is probably the bulk of the cords sold, so green is made in lower quantities and thus higher per-unit cost.

I'd be happy to spend $1k more for better colors, but many new cars don't even come in any interesting colors regardless of the price.

It’s not an Apple Tax, it’s a Stupid Tax.

If you buy Apple products, you are already grandfathered into that Stupid Tax.

Smaller process means less energy. Less energy means less heat. Less heat can mean faster operation. So without changing any of the layout or logic of the chip itself to make it more efficient, just shrinking the process alone will give you a speed boost.

But it goes further than that. Chips are cut from a wafer. The cost to make that wafer is (for the most part) constant. So if you can only make 20 or if you can make 2000 chips from that one wafer, it ultimately costs the same. But then that means the more CPUs that can be made per wafer, the per-CPU cost drops.

So you get a more power efficient, cooler, faster and cheaper chip when you shrink the process. The entire semiconductor industry is so dependent on this idea that it invests billions into it every year because it is so vitally important.

Have you looked at the size of the latest videocards? That's just the GPU (and secondary components), and it's bigger than a NUC. The power supply needed to feed a powerful GPU and CPU is larger than a NUC. There's a lot of empty space inside a modern tower case, but you're not shrinking high end components down into a NUC. It's just not feasible.

I didn't read this opinion piece and jumped straight to the bottom to see who wrote it. I wasn't surprised:

Barbara Comstock is a former congresswoman and delegate from Virginia and a senior adviser at Baker Donelson. She also was a senior Justice Department official during the Bush administration.
