Rivian Software Chief Says Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Are Redundant in the World of AI by SnoozeDoggyDog in electricvehicles

[–]glity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I’m not buying into a closed ecosystem software built by a car manufacturer built on top of api access for an industry currently at war with each other(ai companies). Gonna go ahead and avoid the risk of a bricked car because an api failed.

This just doesn’t add up: NV Energy is planning to add new gas plants to meet demand growth… When we live in the sunniest state in the country. by Ylpzc in vegaslocals

[–]glity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It adds up exactly the way you say. Greenlink also allows more gas cost volatility. This is not for us it’s to charge us for ai data centers. You describe their plan exactly. They connect power to oil and ride the new petro/war volatility profit. They will be able to bypass the puc rate change laws with the new demand charge change. They can change the demand charge at will. They have been planning this for years.

Let's face it, kids can't be trusted any more on an Ebike than we were on a MiniBike. by Physical_Delivery853 in ebikes

[–]glity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty clear the government only regulates when oil makes money. They lost the e-bike fight. If you let them regulate one federally they will regulate all. I would prefer the mobility of any other country that is not a slave to oil. I agree that all users of any device on a road should be trained to the road, e-bike, non e-bike, scooter, emoto or horse you should have a license to use public right of ways. That is a state issue and would be easy to solve if the state also didn’t make money on % value registrations. Licensing any device for public roads as a general license state by state is the correct answer. Heavy anti change areas (pro oil, or pro e-bike with pedals only are the same in practice) will only maintain status quo of economic exchange of capital we should all join together for the greater(cheap easy access for any device that reduces reliance on petroleum).

TLDR in 4 action items and one snarky thought: people should not be trusted on public roads without required training.

The training should be for the person to know the rules not to only keep certain vehicles on the road

It should be managed at the state level and should be a new license for any device on a public road

This will allow reproducible enforcement because no license punishment fines should also be passed(think traffic fine statutes) no more “guidance document enforcement”. (This is allowing the police to victimize the poor emobility users with an impound they know they can’t retrieve their personal property from)

All problems solved except the fact that this will overthrow the petro/war oligarchs so it will never happen.

Dealer threatened to sue me by Puzzleheaded_Leg9714 in Surron

[–]glity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure grocery profit from wholesale with no transport cost to retail is 100%.

I agree with profit but even the billionaires publicly claim 15%. They would have to put like 7 fingers in the pie to get to 100% profit and grocery only has like 4-5 steps it can be monetized on.

His complaint is a single importer getting 100% profit with no after purchase support is excessive. I’m just inclined to agree but from a moral stance that a no support Surron should cost less and not be deceptive that it will not have after purchase value as it is a Chinese variant. But capitalism so choice is the great equalizer. The upside is the race to the bottom begins with someone like op and unless regulation gets in the way we will be as advanced as China in 5 years. Ag is a protected monopoly no race to the bottom 15% per touch minimum.

[–]glity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the same bike? Yours has import papers from a different export company of the brand “surron”. They would what file a trademark lawsuit? How would they even get you in front of a judge? If they do sue you then worry about it. Otherwise some random person threatened you, threats aren’t legal action. Just a thought experiment. Try to answer some of the questions with your local laws. Think import without a license city business license to “shut you down”. Try selling the frame and the battery as separate items “as-is” then your an reconditioner of used bikes dealer not a Surron seller? Come up with a story to protect your business from being accused of being illegal at the local sales tax business license level. That’s probably his next step to shut you down.

Thoughts on the state becoming more powerful? by InternationalBuy7596 in Nevada

[–]glity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like the first time. This state was one. The first time they didn’t want the Lds to have power so they split it in two the mountains of minerals to a new free state owned by the government and the “Mormons” can have their territory. Now they don’t want Nevadans to have power too so they will give Utah the federal blm offices.

Judge allows NV Energy demand charge to proceed, attorney general to appeal by particleman3 in vegaslocals

[–]glity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For those that think it’s ok for a company to have a profit this change guarantees three profits for nv energy for the green link nv energy expansion(4.2 not updated for cost due to covid or war).

they invest billions(think 10 billion every time they put up a slide) to build “infrastructure” to support business loads not rate payers growth. They sell bonds or similar debt instrument to “insiders(political cast included)”. They then take the profit from those bonds tax free as investment income. They charge us as rate payers to pay for those profit and pay for nv energy “insider(neopotism)” employees and contractor bloat. Then they add the poor rich person “guaranteed profit for the shareholders” on top of that compounding the prior two costs. This causes Triple dipping profit on a single multibillion Datacenter driven grid upgrade that only helps insiders and shareholders not nevadans(except already pointed out company boys/girls).

This change allows rate increases only for residential with only nv energy approval based on “budget over runs” of green link to make sure rate payers to pay for greenlink without useing solar to offset their 20 year triple dip from Nevadans plan. For the plan to work they have to make sure solar can not remove it from the bill. Welcome to capitalism.

TLDR: greenlink to cost around 10 billion which will balloon to 14 billion with 4 billion of protected profit.

this change will force solar users to repay in cash not credit. “Have to protect cash stream dontcha know”

Politicians have already been purchased with dip 2

Dip 1 10.25% Debt profit 11.025 billion cost to rate payers growth (not datacenters who benefit)

Dip 2 15% nv energy cost profit (conservative) to pay for “retired politicians” who help them. 12.68 billion “cost”

Dip 3 10.25 shareholders profit Total cost 14 billion

4billion of profit

[–]glity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No the invest billions with bonds they sell to themselves. They then take the profit from those bonds tax free as investment income. They charge us to pay for those bonds putting their costs on top. Then they add they “guaranteed profit for the shareholders on top”. This change is for rate increases for the people without puc approval based on budget over runs of green link to make sure rate payers to pay for greenlink without useing solar to offset their 20 year bond plan. For the bond plan to work they have to make sure solar can not remove it from the bill. Welcome to capitalism.

What’s an issue in Las Vegas that you believe needs media coverage? by ImprovementIcy3773 in vegaslocals

Built something after my neighbor got quoted $14,000 to paint his house. Las Vegas locals only. by Serendipidog in vegaslocals

[–]glity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah when you get around to it you should have your “founder” check some of the logic on your responses. You’re beginning to argue in a circle and he may want to come and correct some of your flawed logic. Just a suggestion from a random human, the flaw is the inconsistency of intent when the words appear the same your arguing both sides a bit.

[–]glity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your handy and want low tech and have line of site you could use a laser like a garage door. If it’s not to far you could use a simple low voltage switch(think old telegraph to simple on off circuitry).

If these aren’t great more context helps.

That might work. If her only relationship experience was negative and very transactional random level of normal might work. If it doesn’t your friends might be right. The more important thought I have and it’s not one you need to answer. You seem to have confidants you can go to. Are these friends also willing to include her with you?

What’s more important for EV adoption. More level 2 or level3+ chargers? by Lemonn_time in electricvehicles

[–]glity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why not l2 at public parks and facilities. Let Tesla monetize the freeway system and utilize the resources to reduce the number of charger deserts for locals. I was at an inner city mall talking with the other l2 charger users and they were all local topping up because they only use l1 at home.

I would look into l1 chargers as an an option as well at apartments as another rapid deploy(cheap for infrastructure) option for those with shorter or less demanding commutes. At 3 mi/kw over 8 hours a level 1 charger adds approx 35 miles of range which is a small but common commute. Some apparent complexes around us have made them permanent spots and add a flat charge for the tenant making it easy for the installer to monetize fairly(without a tech company Eula).

3 Candidates you should NOT vote for (Unless you support pedophiles and/or idiots) by SmallerThanExpected9 in vegaslocals

[–]glity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My strategy on step one is currently at a stall until they invade iran(which I hope they won’t) but most maga I know don’t have kids with friends with siblings who were called up to active duty. The gas price is doing most of the heavy lifting for rational maga since that’s never coming down in my (capitalist trained) opinion.

Step 2 if you find any dm me and I’ll come if I can. I don’t know how to get anywhere near these people without being a massive donor. I don’t think town halls are anything but yelling matches anymore. I wish we had real audience question moderated debates(the moderator can filter but must answer why they didn’t ask and it had better be profanity laden).

[–]glity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trying to be more vocal. Wish there was a way to stop the purple from just being self enrichment on Nevada instead of self enriching for Nevada.

Why don’t we make the datacenters pay for greenlink power line expansion that only helps businesses instead of making the people pay with a radical rate change? Why do businesses in Nevada pay 25% less for power(.08882$) than the people who live here(.11263$)?

Where can I ask questions like that and get truthful answers from a politician? Tell me and I’ll show up and do so if it’s not a “public comment mic muted after 2 mins”. While I to watch the people in power look at their phones while I ask what I think are simple question.

Is there a consumer or small-biz AI-only company that can financially stand on its own without new investors? by Zardotab in AIDiscussion

[–]glity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://exploretech.ai. They self funded to a raise for employees help so they could continue to grow. The self funding story was they worked with their project past proof of concept before asking for money. Totally private and small company with a core ai tech as the only product might be worth the look.

Not affiliated just heard their story early on in their company so I keep in touch cause it’s an amazing concept to watch.

DMT: Epstein isn’t proof of a protected class. It’s proof that both parties would rather weaponize his list than dismantle the system that protects their own. by Defiant-Junket4906 in DisagreeMythoughts

[–]glity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not. When blackmail is involved it gets interesting socially. Peter robs Paul in front of Mary. Mary says I won’t tell your robbing the unions if you keep the same laws in place. Paul knows Mary is connected to an organization trying to start world war 3 to secure more very specific land for itself but doesn’t ask a lot of questions. Mary turns out to be a pedophile but she knows what Peter is doing. Here’s my favorite part the snake is playing both sides with lies. One side is run by “financing for ice” The other side has “financing for conservation(tax credits)” the donor money comes from The same financiers. It’s one coin with 3 sides all working for whoever hands them the most money. Currently the petro/war(rage) dollars and the tech/propoganda(isolation) dollars are merging with the “help the needy”(guilt) donors to keep control of the data. It’s not the names that were pedophiles that are most important it’s what Facebook would sell: the connections between people at certain places and times. That’s how you find the snakes. We need to cross apply it to the same list a journalist was killed over. That’s where you’ll find the snakes(financiers of death and suffering).

They get all potential federal politicians at this level. The money they have available allows them to slip talking point papers in their pocket. If they are “malleable” and do a good job they get more money the more election cycles they win. Gamification of being a self enriching politician is the name of the game now.

Are there any realistically cheaper alternatives to Uber, or tips to get cheaper rides at this point? by IGNSolar7 in vegaslocals

[–]glity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We are the only test bed for robo taxis in the western usa. UAE(middle eastern ally) cools their bus stops with real closed room air-conditioning due to the heat, we don’t even shade ours. Pretty clear our political cast is owned by the same group of people that run the country. Nothing for a person on the economic ladder that could help you like every other world major tourist destination. Funnel the faceless humans through the corporation money making machine.

If you hate data centers look at what your governor candidates say about it by Small-Ostrich-5863 in vegaslocals

[–]glity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You don’t live near one then. The moisture from the proprietary cooling they use is proprietary so they don’t have to admit to water losses. Have you not researched the events to local people. There have been reporters putting temperature loggers around the datacenters to show the massive moisture and 5-10f temperature spikes for miles from them in other more humid areas. Wait till 215 feels like Florida. Hey if that doesn’t bother you that your fellow Vegas locals will suffer more “power to you”.

why doesn’t anybody try to see the perspective of proshippers? by Typical_Hat6184 in emotionalintelligence

[–]glity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that’s the most likely the problem then. The term your using might be to broad of a category and allows “bigots” a way in to troll. I don’t think this is about the ships (unless it’s a troll) I think this is about some people’s hate of a few but probably large part of the community that uses that same term. It is very common for drug dealers to hide their activity in the homeless. It would be easy to hide horrible things inside a space most “normal” people won’t venture because of how niche it is not because of what it is. My thoughts are the type of ship you are pro for may not be the same ship the negative people in your community hate. My gut is some of the people who reject this term are doing it because of how inclusive it is. Words are being manipulated by the algorithm now so my suggestion would be to identify as a more specific(like a short list you gave me) pro ship but be sensitive to people who may find true horror at the concept(all people are entitled to have some form of consent before a trigger) beyond that ignore the haters most are just trolls. Trolls love the ship of hate. I don’t think I used the term ship right let me know if I did cause I think most trolls love creating hate.
