News flash, most Americans were paycheck to paycheck before inflation, too.

lol, how is the audio annoying? Those are literally the engineers who worked on this, one of the most difficult engineering problems in human history, having nailed it on their first try.

If you want pure rocket audio, look into cosmic perspective after a few weeks.

Only issue with the technology is that the waves were not dynamic; they were deterministic/the same every race.

Yes, spiritual successor to the Concorde, but with a specific eye towards ensuring operational profitability at business class rates. 60-80 passengers, New York to London in 3.5 hours (down from 7), Tokyo to Seattle in under 5 (down from 9), LA to Sydney in 7 hours (down from 15). 130+ orders already from virtually all of the major airlines, production in 2027 and operational routes expected by 2030.

If they are ramping the test flight cadence up to two a month, and do not encounter any insurmountable obstacles, they could break Mach 1 by the end of the year.

Twelve paragraphs in, and you still haven’t made your argument?

Are the AI companies at odds with copyright laws when they train new models? I think, yes.

Ah, because it’s a bullshit opinion piece being presented as fact, that makes sense.

TL;DR: Cofounder of open source project says super popular platform using their project needs to pay up for inane reasons. Chaos ensues.

In summary:

WP Engine is one of the most popular third party platforms built on top of WordPress.

They have a link and images on their webpage referencing that they are built on top of Wordpress (this is legal).

The former cofounder of Wordpress said that they are illegally using the Wordpress trademark.

WP Engine sends Cease and Desist.

WordPress Cofounder doubles down, blocks WP Engine and demanded WP Engine pay licensing fees for using their branding.

This pissed off a lot of people.

WP Engine sues. For a lot, including extortion, abuse of power, and asserts the cofounder of WordPress has criminally made false statements to the IRS.

The Executive Director for Wordpress resigns, presumably in solidarity with WP Engine and the community.

But don’t worry, the judge hearing the appeal also has close personal ties to the Romanian Olympic program (whose athlete came in fourth, and stands to benefit from the committee not hearing the appeal), which were disclosed to everyone except the Americans. Nothing weird about that.

More likely, people on lemmy blindly downvote YouTube links. Post a long form article, and you’ll see better results.

There’s a lot of rehosted trash being posted in general to drive clicks/Adsense revenue to tiny, new channels specifically for this purpose.

This doesn’t seem to be the case here, but generally YouTube links, especially with no summaries, don’t do great (e.g., I don’t want to put headphones on just for this).

So… Slackware?

I was shocked to hear Dejoy getting credit for this, but securing that 3 billion dollar investment in the USPS charging infrastructure didn’t break into the news cycle.

Still no idea about where they are with eliminating those sorting machines right before an election, but credit where credit is due, I guess.

Sales slowing is only one variable in the “growth” equation. Specifically, are sales of gas vehicles slowing more than sales of electric cars? Yes.

People are replacing vehicles at some standard rate, but growth of EVs is dependent on what percentage of new vehicle sales are gas versus electric. As long as people aren’t moving back to gas cars en masse, the growth of the segment can continue to rise, even if sales overall are slowing.
