It makes a lot more sense if you look back at what the colonies were called when the name was adopted. It’s really just a holdover from a naming solution that wasn’t very weird during the time that it was introduced. Language evolves in weird and funky ways.
It’s one of those things that made sense at the time, but looks a little weird if you don’t account for the history.
Folks living in the British colonies wanted to differentiate themselves from the English, so they called themselves “Americans” because they were in the “American colonies.”
The name stuck after the colonies became the United States.
693·1 day agoLooking at the downvotes, remember upvoting an article ≠ an endorsement of the shitty technology being discussed in the article.
We shit on the technology in the comments, and upvote it so more of us can read about it and shit on it.

I think most of the “requirements” they’re referring to are the technical ones, not governmental.
North America’s residential HVAC landscape is pretty simply and dumb compared to a lot of what is happening in Europe. Dumb forced central air systems dominate residential HVAC.
It sounds like they don’t like developing for all the weird hardware configurations that appear in Europe.
My dad: “boiled hotdogs in store-brand white bread are what the real athletes eat.”
It has a camera on the tailgate and the instrument cluster is a display.
Aside from being backed by Bezos, this seems like Lemmy the car. Under 20K, an EV, no stupid touch screen, designed to be repaired and modded, and even crank windows.
I bet the catch, aside from Bezos, is the range or charge speed.
Yeah, people always mock up these Apple patents. It’s practically guaranteed to happen when Apple files anything interesting or weird. Someone will model what they think the final product looks like.
The rendering is, but the patent isn’t.
Apple patents all sorts of weird shit. 99% of it never gets made. They just want the money from patent litigation and licensing.
Honestly, Intel has been up shit creek for a while now. No one big wants to use Intel’s fabs because they’re afraid that Intel’s design team will copy their homework.
Vertical integration has fucked Intel. TSMC’s fabs get all the important contracts from Nvidia, Apple, etc. And the massive client volume allows them to accelerate the evolution of their fab tech.
Intel needs to break their chip design business and fab into two separate businesses, otherwise it’s a continuation of the death march.
They do. That said, now that it’s really easy to mask whois data, I would argue that’s a less than perfect solution.
Someone doing research on China is a chiologist.
Same as someone doing research on biology is a biologist.
Benedict was more Emperor than Senator though.
