You can say it, but if you want anyone to take you seriously, specify which definition of addictive you’re using.

No one is going to argue with “psychologically addictive”

The “we” in your post is interesting to me. Who do you mean? Individuals?

If anyone else got their hopes up: this was a funny video not a serious reply

But it will probably be a long time till Canada purposefully causes the death of a million civilians in the USA, like Finland did with Leningrad!

It’s not a pretty competition, but I’m pretty sure Russia "wins" vs Finland in number of deliberate civilian deaths over any time period.

1) it wasn’t millions (plural) 2) absolutely everyone would be better off if Leningrad was part of Finland

I’m worried your cynicism is overwhelming your capacity for rational thought.

Years of his life and 5-10% of his net worth. That’s the kind of thing people notice.

It's definitely not 10%, more like 3%. His net worth is currently listed as $248B. If he has to pay out the penalty on both acquisitions, his net worth will still be about $240B. There's nothing articulable about the difference in his life as a result.

I will give you the time though, or the motivations (however appalling they are) for his exertion of energy on these.

I’m suspicious of this vision because for example, with battery packs, cells with compatible voltage and size have vastly different characteristics.

Those characteristics, like safe discharge rate, capacity, projected cycle count, are all things that manufactures exaggerate or get wrong.

I don’t think there’s any way that consumers can ever be informed enough to have an efficient market in products such as those

I can imagine a future where batteries and chargers communicate using an open-source protocol just as they are doing now over USB.

If the batteries are a full pack which contain their own internal charge controller, etc. Raw cells can't communicate anything.

The problem is the consumer can't tell the difference between a well engineered pack and one that will explode in their apartment overnight.

Wild to imagine what the PCB concentration must be in a creature like that

They do raise white sturgeon in California land-based fish-farms for food.

Those are not the 14' century old beasts in the river. =3

Pretty much everything?

I wonder if you could open any type of business as a datacenter now, to avoid the review.

Hilarious legal maneuver. Soon to see, Jack’s Slaughterhouse Datacenter, Dean’s Nuclear Waste Repo and Datacenter, et

I can surely squirrel away a couple of GPUs into any random closet and rent out the capacity.

A similar maneuver is already being used for the White House National Security Ballroom.

Jones BBQ and Data Center (Chicagoland only)

read the article (shocking i know) there's no avoiding a review. The local government can have as much public review as it wants. This is where control should have been all along since the local government is accountable to the local community.

The article says they're considering removing the federal requirement that state governments even tell their constituents let alone allow public review.

So literally yes you can avoid the review... until you manage to convince your local government to pass their own version of this law, or vote out the existing people if they are against this thing you didn't think you had to care about because it was already law. And the slated time is within a year, so good luck accomplishing that in time.
