No, not enough revolutionary hi tech BS to showcase your electric cars to the public, and no potential to get into talkshows to brag how you “solved traffic” because you are such a brilliant mind… /s

Well to be fair, I think a lot of bridges would collapse if a 160.000t ship rams into its support structure.
Have you seen the tunnels on Google maps? They are essentially a tunnel from one side of a parking lot, under the main street, to the entrance of the convention center across the road. A distance you could walk in 5 mins on street level, except your way is blocked by the 6 lane road without pedestrian crossing.
Regular soldiers learn to stay close to the ground to avoid getting hit…
Yes, but it is JavaScript? Don’t you need to terminate the lines with ; to be valid JavaScript? My guess was that this is python code.

Skinner.meme: “Should we build sensible, small cars that are cheap to buy and drive, dont support speeding, need little parking space and prevent horrific high speed crashes? - No, it would hurt the economy and my penis would fall of driving something with less than 400HP that dosn’t make vroom-vroom noises!”
“I was just trolling” - a 12 year old after he realizes he just said something stupid.
It’s either AI, or someone who broke his ankles for this photoshot…
Well clearly someone who is colorblind…
I would imagine that people in the market for an EV would have bought it already last december, before the funding was cancelled.
I think it was lead and cadmium with the Shrek drinking glasses from the 2000s, both chemicals are commonly used to paint glass mugs. This is not exclusively a McDonald’s issue, but also applies to other painted glasses (Holiday souvenirs, Sports club Merch, other drinking glasses and mugs made in china).
You might be able to buy a set of paper test strips for less than $10, but more accurate results from a lab are more expensive.
Maybe is in the metadata as someone pointed out earlier, or it could be an otherwise unused ASCII char that looks different for each user who licensed it when printed out, sort of like a qr code as a single ASCII char.
Or it could be that they simply just check filename, file size and/or md5, all of which can be easily changed.
“How can we sell large homes on cheap land outside of the city, while people still need to get 20km into the city daily for work and groceries?”
No wonder COBOL programmers are paid a lot, because what would be a 1-liner for “hello world” in other languages looks like this in Cobol:
IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
PROGRAM-ID. IDSAMPLE.
ENVIRONMENT DIVISION.
PROCEDURE DIVISION.
DISPLAY 'HELLO WORLD'.
STOP RUN.
This is already $6000 worth of code right there!
The Lead Dev/team Lead was quite arrogant and in his own mind the worlds best developer who had all the answers. If some technology or software was not written by him or already existed in the 90s it was “useless” and not fit for the company (without him having looked at it or the docs). If asked why we would not use X which was out for years, well maintained, had no critical bugs would solve problem Z we where having, he would reply “because i said so” and insist in writing out own variant - which ended up having 10% of the features, 10 times the bugs, terrible UI and would take months to develop.
When support repeatetly told him that users had issues with feature X because the only error message on a 10 fields forms page was “Error”, he would respond that this is a user problem, the end user is clearly stupid (despide used in a field where you need to study for years) and that support must hold training sessions so the users can “learn” how to use his product.
As such, the company would reject git and instead email each other files and changes.
Each meeting felt like living inside a Dilbert cartoon.
You only hurt yourself down the line. My last job had not improved their own product, processes, tools or frameworks, so everything was still stuck in the 90s. Their product was build on an discontinued an proprietary database and server system you never heard about, jQuery UI from 10 years ago and other BS.
However if you don’t upskill yourself in this situation you will be unemployable in the future, because all other employers demand modern technologies, git, docker, unit testing etc., which I was yelled at in meetings for suggesting it.
While it will technically work, the old tube tvs had a 4:3 resolution of 5xx x 3xx or so, depending on if they used PAL or NTSC. Modern TV Interfaces are typically designed for a screen resolution of 1200x800 and 16:10 or 16:9, which means the fonts will be unreadable and half of the screen is cut off.
