Technology • Views: 14,916

Hi. In today’s episode, we look at how autonomous vehicles (AVs) work, and also how they don’t work, and also also how they’re being tested on city streets without your consent to help enrich people like Elon Musk.

re: #4 Backwoods Sleuth

Businesses have an expectation that financial documents that are produced are reasonably reliable. Financial companies and fiduciaries are held to higher standards. Those who sign off on business documents are supposed to be accountable for malfeasance relating to the documents they’ve signed. That means, if you’re inflating the values of assets and lying about it or completely fabricating information as Trump repeatedly does, no one can rely on them in the ordinary course of business.

Trump thinks that these business records shouldn’t be reliable in anyone’s business? Nope - just his.

And that’s not how any of this works.

The risk of blowing up his case takes a back seat to his narcissism. He cannot tolerate anything of his not being the greatest and the most valuable and the best. If it injures his ego he just can’t do it.

The state also scheduled a test of the tornado sirens for the same time. So the alert went off, followed by loud screaming outside. I assume this was a Democratic plot to conceal the activation of the zombie horde.

Huge, if true.

Given the Ukrainian effort to hit the Black Sea Fleet and hitting various ships, buildings, and taking out key leaders at their base, this makes sense. The Ukrainians are denying Russia access to this facility through their drone strikes, airstrikes, and sea-based attacks.

Russia can’t keep their ships there, and can’t use it to regroup/rearm, because they can’t stop the drone attacks.

Hopefully someday the value of this approach of limited vagus nerve stimulation to reduce inflammation is clinically proven. SetPoint has been working on this for at least a decade and a half. Inflammatory disease negatively affects so many people (Crohn’s, rheumatoid arthritis, gout) and is a co-morbidity in a lot of others (heart failure, diabetes, more).

They have a number of these types of results in small number trials (Crohn’s one here had 17 participants). They do have a rheumatoid arthritis trial of 250 participants that is scheduled for completion in 2027 (RESET-RA).

I managed to get my hands on a VW Lupo like that, 200K kilometers on it, (120K miles) but it is still cherry red, runs reliably, gets over 40 miles per gallon and is easy to park

Only drawback is that I have no garage to keep it in so I need to cover it over with a tarp when I am parked out in the sun to keep the paint from fading.

Fascinating.

A man has been accused of stalking a woman in New York via his small airplane, flying out of an airport in nearby Vermont, police said.

Michael Arnold, 65, was scheduled to appear in court Wednesday in Bennington, Vermont. He was arrested Tuesday as he was driving into the William H. Morse State Airport in town. Police said his single-engine Cessna 180 was at the airport and he had been flying from there.

Arnold, of Manchester, New Hampshire, had been served with a temporary order of protection from a court in Saratoga, New York, in May. A specific condition of that order was that he “cease and desist from flying any and all aircraft while the order remains in effect,” Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette said in a news release.

Police had been notified by the FBI in Albany that New York authorities had been investigating Arnold on suspicion of stalking the woman in Schuylerville, for several years, Doucette said. Schuylerville is about 30 miles away from the Bennington airport.

Coincidence? I don’t think so.

The U.S. and Russia have both announced they will be holding nationwide emergency alert exercises on Wednesday.

Tensions between Washington and Moscow have intensified throughout Russian President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Putin issued vague nuclear threats in February over Western tank supplies to Ukraine.

The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) said that beginning at approximately 2:20 p.m. ET, it will conduct a nationwide test of its Emergency Alert System (EAS) for TVs and radios, and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) for phones.

That’s a work of art you can wear on your wrist.

I used to always wear a watch. But then around the time I started carrying a cell phone all the time, I just kinda stopped with the watch one day, figured my phone had a secondary service as a digital pocket watch. A few years ago, I got a fitbit, and then last Christmas (or maybe the one before) I got an apple watch because the fitbit died. But with both of them, I found myself just kinda forgetting to wear them for a while. And then when I do wear one, I’m constantly aware of it. It’s very strange.
