Re: Fishy

I’d more focus on US Issues like the 401K ass-fucking most people in the US subject too.

Re: Aren't Government employees neutral.

Brexit wasn’t a success but because of sabotage… but because it was a pretty stupid idea and much of the issues highlighted came to pass - checks on goods for example and businesses like Honda unsticks-ing.

Same as unlawfully destroying your Statutory Government Institutions - you largely don’t/refuse to understand on an arbitrary/ideology/I don’t like it basis - on a if it breaks will do something about it reactionary method.

Re: How does the back end support this?

It doesn’t it’s pretty pointless proof of concept…. and also where it ultimately sources data from - say Microsoft, AWS, Corporate VPN, Disney+, BBC iPlayer.

You’d also need WiFi 7 to realise any benefit as this will have been hardwired in the test property.

You can see that today when you download something of significant size and the MBit/s throughout wobbling about all over the place…. That has little to do with your Fibre connection.

Uber CEO warns robotaxis can't find a fast route to commercial viability

Re: Until AVs can run for under $2/hour, they can't compete.

“ All those rides and deliveries saw $12 billion arrive in Uber's coffers, a 20 percent year-over year increase. Net income was $6.9 billion, but $6.4 billion of that was a "benefit from a tax valuation release." Another $556 million came from "net unrealized gains related to the revaluation of Uber's equity investments."”

So looking at that - apart from tax and equity wheezes they basically made fuck all income despite all the effort and misery inflicted on their workers.

Sweet.

Re: Musk

It’s easy to be generous when you are effectively in possession of unlimited wealth have tens of billions of £$€….. and no mention of the impact to and on others of how you gained your wealth…..

When you are hand to mouth, putting something - anything - in the foodbank basket at Tesco’s or a donation to the local homeless centre is more impactful and of greater overall character.

I would have thought that those who passed the ATC-CI course demonstrated capability/transferable skill set and should be passed into the proper training program. Same as those who played school football getting collegiate scholarships.
