The EPA makes really tight emissions targets for vehicles under a certain size or the auto makers have to pay a fee iirc. Pretty sure they the medium sized stuff out of existance, an unfortunately I'm guessing the same fees would apply to imports too.

IA skirted the line by lending out self-digitized versions based on how many physical books they had, which was a grey area, but technically maybe not illegal.
They did that for years, and while likely technically a violation copyright the copyright holders never came after them. Then during the pandemic they stopped the artificial limit and just gave unlimited free copies of scanned books to anybody. Publishers, expectedly, had a meltdown and are now out for blood.
If you're talking extra plants for redundancy when power fluctuates, there's really now way to do that with renewables. Maybe giant battery stations, but that's about it.
Been helped a lot by Brave Search's built in AI. Privacy search engines have always been somewhat more unreliable, and with Google searches going to crap now, sometimes that AI answer below the search answers my question or points me in the right direction when non of the results do. If AI's going to pollution the search results might as well use it to alleviate the mess it made.
Still would a loved to see DDG go the brave model and actually self host an open model instead of just embedding ChatGPT.
Edit: nevermind, see they offer both self hosted and ChatGPT3.
The next? My understanding was that similar rules have been in place since Bush Jr, and this was just a reauthorization with minor tweaks.
Anyone able to loan me under $10,000? It's for something really cool.
Briar, Jami, SimpleX and Tox are all semi similar to what you might be looking for.
$4 is probably way more than enough to cover the cost of your account, but the problem is what percentage of people are paying. If it's 1 in 100 or 1,000 and $4 covers 75 average accounts they might be in a bind.
