No interest in going, but great news that it was so well attended. Sounds like it was well managed, which is the most important part.

I don't quite understand the hubub. We were in NYC when the...

Periscope Films does great archival work. They have neat industrial and propaganda films from WWII as well. Things MGM, Disney and Warner Brothers have *never* commercially released, but were scanned...

I baffled that people still think this way in Detroit. Can you take a wild guess at how I know Tesla and Toyota are deploying automated factories? Think of where we are living.

And, no, they...

Depends on what you mean by automation. LEGO just opened a 1.7 million square foot factory in Virginia that runs 24/7. It employs 1700 staff. So that's a bit over 500 per shift. Nearly all the jobs...

The Japanese car companies are a special situation, as they aren't just car companies, but vertically integrated along with steel mills, investment banks, insurance companies, and other related...

I love playing this game. Let's say Ford fired the executive board and gave all of their salaries to the hourly workers. That would be a yearly pay increase of, roughly, $1,100. If you extended that...

For reference, Cornelius Vanderbilt was the wealthiest man in the US in the late 1800s. His income alone made up a significant percentage of the total GDP of the entire US.

Nowadays, the...

The biggest prize would be Tesla and Toyota, whom are currently building out completely automated factories. The technology is there, and has been for about a decade now. The only hurdle has been...

From what I remember, WDET used to be in the Macabees building, which was the Detroit schools headquarters, before moving to University Towers on Cass, while WTVS broadcast from the old WJBK building...

What really bugged me about the move to Wixom wasn't just that it was unnecessary, but that it was an expensive undertaking that would be bore out by donor money. WTVS seems to play a bit fast and...

According to the article:
" Nearly 20 years ago, it announced its move to Wixom, driven by a federal mandate at the time to convert to digital television broadcasting."

That doesn't make a bit of...

Residences maybe. Converting a high-rise into apartments is pricey, you have to redo the water, fire, and HVAC systems, and possibly the electrical as well. My brother-in-law worked on a small-scale...

I stayed home with the kids, but my wife and my mom went down to Sidney, Ohio and stayed overnight to see it. They wanted to go to the Armstrong space center in Wapakoneta, but at 7AM there was...

I've heard people talking about them on various forums I'm on. From what I gather it's the equivalent of a north-east Buckee's, though not nearly as huge. The main differences with regular gas...

That argument cuts both ways. Part of the mismanagement could have been keeping open unprofitable stores. Now they are fixing that.

It's weed. Last time I caught a ball game the entire stretch of Woodward from Foxtown to Grand River reeked of it. I don't care if people smoke, but if it's going to smell like that where an open-air...

LOL. Steve Lehto is great.

This kind of drives the point home. Large language models like ChatGPT *only* understands the relationships between words. If you ask for information about George...

There was one by our old house, and the nearest one to our new house is still the old one, so it's a little inconvenient to shop there.

In general, they have lower prices on most name-brand...

Most of the measles outbreaks in the past few decades have been in California and Arizona, with scatterings of outbreaks in Minnesota, Texas and New York. None, really, in Florida.

The interesting thing about that is AMD and Intel both have equally capable GPU hardware, but in the last 10 years they've completely botched the software side of things, so everyone defaults to...

Want the full explanation? :)

The best computers can do to simulate human thinking is via a neural network. It simulates how a human brain works, where neurons are connected together via different...

They can't raise property taxes more than 5% per year or the inflation rate, whichever is lower. The past couple of years it's been 5% as inflation has soared, but usually increases have little to do...

Nothing says class like using the advent of a person's dad passing away to score some points against that person. Do you have any zingers saved up if his son gets hit by a car? Maybe a witty pun?

10,000 feet? Marvin's could soak up that much space and just be comfortable with the amount of stuff they have jammed in there. Anyways, bigger for this kind of place is always better! I'm going to...

Goldman Sachs is a large-scale investment bank, not a regular commercial bank. Their branch offices are essentially customer support and sales offices. If AAM wants to drop $100 million to buy a...
