"American Automakers Refuse to Participate in Race to Make Accessible, Fuel-Efficient Vehicles"

Fixed that title for you, Verge.

Almost got scammed by Rad Bikes this way. Battery mysteriously failed 10 months into their 1 year warranty. Rad Bikes accused me of sabotaging the battery and refused to honor their warranty, but "generously" offered me free shipping on a $300+ replacement battery. Turns out the off-the-rack fuse they use blew; identical down to the manufacturer to the ones used in cars. Replacement fuse was <20 cents and fixed the problem instantly.

Is there an option for "Request Amazon to pay drivers decently and improve working conditions?"

Nope, just a "illegally suppress unions" button.

Yet another thinly veiled stealth lay-off by a technology company. Amazon’s cloud boss Matt "The Prat" Garman will indeed see some departures, as intended and desired. However, that first wave will be of their most talented, who feel confident they will land on their feet elsewhere, leaving those that simply cannot leave (yet) or those that will cozily under perform. When Amazon applies the inevitable followup reductions (subjectively based on their internal review process) to remove the latter, and the former buckle under the load or also leave, Amazon will be left with lower-middle talent at best.

The more I see of business "strategy" among this layer of "leadership", the more I'm convinced it is just a game of Jenga with talent, resources, infrastructure, security, quality, etc; pulling out as many pieces as possible in the drive for short term/sighted gains until a company collapses under its own dysfunctional "efficiency" and "success".

Obviously fake... FBI too busy protecting Tesla dealerships to do anything else.

Finish the book, George.

We prefer the formal culinary term, Scalp Croutons.

She obviously didn't realize that a Las Vegas 6, is a prison 9.

Why the closed doors? To quote their own rhetoric, if you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear. Oh right, he's probably bringing receipts from their boss, Putin.

Ok, Uncle Thomas. Just retire to your bribe bus.

Probably around the same time I learned spelt is a type of wheat.

Rad City support could not or would not explain how my battery might have stopped working, but would only say it was "not covered by warranty". They could also not explain what sort of causes of battery failure were covered by their warranty. It was pretty clear they just didn't want to cover the expense of honoring their warranty (the battery is probably one of the single most expensive parts on their bikes).

In unrelated news, Georgia Court of Appeals sporting all new luxury RVs.

Uh-oh, looks like someone is going to have to buy Clarence Thomas another RV to get out of this one!

More like the "Dim Web". ;-)

That's like getting picked up from Catholic Boys Choir by a white van with "Free Candy" spray painted on the side.

If they are targeting the tiny ebook reader niche, they're going to have to do better on features and pricing than the upcoming refresh of the XTEINK devices.

While I sincerely hope so, possibly unpopular opinion... Lemmy will have to offer a lot more than "Not Reddit". It'll have to build up as a primary destination for a lot of "content of substance" and culture around creating and nurturing it (just cross posting from Reddit will not cut it). It may have to offer communities and opportunities Reddit bans or suppresses, although there should be some red lines there. And, like all Federated technologies, it will have to actively work to reduce friction for potential users.

Why? Was the vessel carrying a copy of the Epstein Files?

For a true ELI5, this will require leaving out a lot. This is simply an analogy. Analogies don't hold up perfectly with very complicated things, so be careful about using them in place of complete understanding or learning more.

The basic principle is having two special particles. These particles are kind of like twins. Created together, they become "entangled" and share a special bond. It's not magic but more like a connection that is hard for others to understand and see.

Now, let's say we take Particle A and put it in a box, and Particle B in another box. We take the boxes far away from each other, even on different sides of the world.

Whatever happens to Particle A will instantly affect Particle B, no matter how far apart they are! It's like they can still talk to each other and know what the other is doing.

Another way to think of it is like having two magic coins. If you flip one coin and it lands on heads, the other coin will always land on tails, no matter how far apart they are.

Scientists are still trying to understand exactly how this happens, but it's a very special and strange thing in the world of of very small things. Some think it shows that there is a way that very small parts of the stuff in the universe are connected that we cannot measure yet, or that many different possibilities exist and we only see one of them when we look for it.

If we could create this connection reliably and stably, we could potentially use it send information across distances nearly instantaneously! After all, a lot of the information we send right now is just 1s and 0s which we put together to make more complicated messages. This has uses in protecting information to keep it secret, making very fast computers, and maybe even "teleportation" by creating a duplicate at the other end of the connection, to name a few.

Like many fields of science, we are learning more about quantum stuff all the time, so this could change really fast. If you're interested in learning more about quantum theory and research you'll need a strong background in math and science. Algebra, trigonometry and classical physics would be a good first step (of many).
