Big part of it is entirely automated - setting your username to instead of the generic "@bsky.social" to use your own domain registrar will get you a check, as that proves that e.g. the Wendys account would actually be run by Wendys.com.

The other is bluesky manually giving certain (auto-verified?) accounts the ability to verify others. The example given is New York Times being able to verify all their own journalists.

But in both cases it's different from the way Twitter used to do it (managing a manual database of all verified accounts) or does it now (lol pay $8 for a useless checkmark)

Also AI isn't only LLMs and image generation, it's a massive field that's been used in different things for decades. "No AI" would mean "back to snipping movies using practical effects together from spools of film", as basically every CGI and editing software uses something "AI" in it these days.

Or just moron numerology. The last tariffs were calculated by taking the trade deficit and dividing that in two. E.g some country imports 10 billion to the US but exports only 5, so trump claimed there was a 50% "tariff" by that country and slapped 25% "counter tariffs" on them.

At least they capped it to a 10% minimum as otherwise there would be a bunch of countries the US should have added a negative tariff for making that stuff cheaper.

In theory.
And it actually probably would be pretty easy to do following US requirements, seeing how lax some of the "Made in USA" labels are:

Made in USA of Imported Parts
...the final construction is done in our country, but all or nearly all the parts have been imported from other countries
Made in USA with Global Components or Global Materials
...the final product is finished in the United States. There could also be a few or no parts of the product that are made in the US, but the majority are made and imported from foreign countries.
Assembled in the USA
...the majority or all of the product is put together in the United States or its territories. ...it’s a foreign product, with foreign-made materials that were only Assembled in the United States. -https://www.allamericanmade.com/what-does-made-in-usa-mean/

But the logistics of funnelling $450 billion worth of parts through somewhere else would be basically impossible.
...or they could just lie.

They do for the freedom of expression, as do most EU countries:

Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises.

The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary.

7.4 billion, which is around 0.7% of GDP. 0.66% of GNI.

For comparison, the US might win out on pure billions (~65), but compared to the size of the economy, it uses a whopping 0.24% of the GNI on foreign aid, a figure that is almost certainly going to drop in the near future.

Why does it have that braindead URL?

euvd.enisa.europa.eu -> European Union Vulnerability Database, run by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (from the previous name, European Network and Information Security Agency ENISA), hosted on the official website of the european union, europa.eu.

And why, for the love of god, does it have a separate numbering scheme?!

Because they want the ability to reference other vulnerability sources - like JVN - and not just CVE:

The EUVD service builds upon the CVE system and vulnerabilities in the scope of the CVE numbering service receive a CVE. In addition, the EUVD data aggregates and enriches the vulnerability information and lists an EUVD ID on top of the CVE when new vulnerability entries are created. To allow further cross referencing, the CVE identifier and additional vulnerability identifiers are listed when available. -https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/faq

And because, you know, standards.

Yes. Directly if you have root, or with a workaround where you bring up the power menu and then use either virtual keyboard commands or the AutoInput plugin to tap the reboot button.

Yep. Getting hit means you are burned.
Back when I was a kid, polttopallo was always what the US calls "Circle dodgeball", and not the team variant. We have one like that too, with the twist that when you get hit, you run behind the opposing team and can start throwing them in the back. It's called Kahden Tulen Välissä - between two fires.

In Sweden they have a variation called Killerboll. You probably don't need a translation for that :)

That's exactly it, he knows what it means - all. L5 is easy like that.

He's delusional thinking that he could ever actually achieve that, but that's why L5 is so much simpler of a concept than L4, as with L4 you can argue about semantics and details about what exactly it has to be able to do to qualify. Level 5 has no exceptions, it has to be completely autonomous with zero human interaction required other than telling it where you want to get to. If it can't do it, it isn't L5.

“All Russia fed us are lies. They’re fake. Russia isn’t as strong as they claim, and Ukraine isn’t as backwards as they say.”

And, nothing has changed. Two weeks march to Helsinki to save those poor backwater Finnish boys from oppression and starvation and all that.

Did you know: the famous molotov cocktail is named such because when ussr was bombing the Finns, they publicly claimed to be dropping humanitarian food aid, and definitely not incindiary bombs. The Finns decided to give them the name "Molotovs Bread Basket" - after the foreign minister Vyacheslav Molotov - and named our incendiary weaponry consisting of a bottle of booze the Molotov's cocktail, a "drink to go with the bread".

Also the official name for it is polttoPullo, burnBottle. Definitely not to be confused with polttoPallo, which is dodgeball.

Level 5 is easy to understand even for musk, it's a fully autonomous robot that requires no human supervision or intervention yet is capable of navigating every single possible traffic situation. That's what he has been claiming is just a few years away for over a decade.

And as long as he insists that the only sensors a tesla has are cameras, that goal is simply impossible, with cars driving under semi-truck trailers and through walls with pictures of the road painted on it.

snap "it's illegal. "

-But... But nothing changed?

Since when has the Trump administration cared about following the law or had any consequences for breaking them?

In a few years most of the world probably won't even be able to. It took Chinese cars decades to come to the worldwide and especially the EU market because nobody in China was developing and manufacturing cars that would pass western safety regulations.

If the only way for Tesla to stay competitive in the US is by loosening the US regulations, they'll end up with an ecosystem that can only be sold and used in the US. For example, how the Cybertruck is entirely unroadworthy in the EU.

I'm just waiting for the day EU declares that self-driving systems need to be able to detect a wall, even if there is a picture of an open road on it, and stop. It would mean Tesla wouldn't be able to pass it due to Musk insisting on only using cameras and removing all other sensors.

Wasn't respecting US patents also one of the parts of the US-Canada agreement as well which they now technically don't have to do anymore, as not having tariffs was one of the requirements?

Nordic prices are high mostly because of Bergsala, the monopoly importer. Why let the scalpers profit when they could be the ones doing the scalping instead, eh?

USB-PD 3.1 can go up to 48V 5A for a 240W output.

Granted, almost none exist yet even though the spec is four years old, I know of one 180W charger and a handful of 240W rated cables, but the possibility is there.

And while 36V & 48V are the most common ebike batteries, they go up to 92 volts for the "not sure how this isn't just an electric motocycle" ones (Surron etc).

"A bigot is someone intolerant of others' differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc."

I am very intolerant of the differing ideas of nazis, the far right, the westboro baptist church etc, so from their point of view, I'm a bigot.

I mean a microplane. It's also pretty much a generic term for a plane rasp with that specific style of teeth profile at this point, but this one was specifically one from them.

But yes, it's a grater.

They are simply pointing out that "racist" and "bigoted" are just as ambiguous in the exact same way as the "evil", "harmful", "good", "negligent", "bad", "unethical" etc he mentions for the other licenses.

"bigot noun a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."

If being a bigot is good/bad/evil/harmful/unethical or not depends entirely on who is calling you one, and what you or society thinks of them. If you think that just because someone is a MAGA/Nazi/Tesla owner that they are bad, congratulations, you are a bigot.
