Maybe they watched The Martian and wanted to test the scientific accuracy.

It’s opting you in by default which some people, justifiably, might not like. If you take Apple at their word, it’s should be safe to leave on.

It’s unclear if they were already gathering this data but with no way to opt out.

Not necessarily. You can’t just say games should cost more because of inflation.

You’d have to take into account the cost to produce the game and the size of the market.

If M.C. Escher did shitty tattoos.

Latest case of affluenza. He needs the Brock Turner treatment. You remember the rapist Brock Turner, right?

The only thing keeping TSLA’s stock price so high is the perception that it’s a tech company. They’d have to replace Elon with another tech CEO that can spew bullshit about tech advances being right around the corner. That probably will not save it as a car company.

I’d rather see the company fail before Elon and other majority share holders can cash out.

Danny Devito as Bilbo Baggins.

I misread “hosts” as “holds” and just thought “strange way to get them to the table but sounds about right.”

Subscriptions and licensing, supposedly.

$12B is just how much money investors put into it. The company’s valuation is $80B. Which is insane.

xAI has raised maybe $12B from investors. And, supposedly, makes $100M/yr.

The valuations are absurd.

I’m surprised the Twitter investors would approve this. Their worthless Twitter stock is now worthless xAI stock. How does that help them?

I guess they’ll try to take xAI public with a massively overpriced IPO.

Some of them are teenagers and the rest have the mental and emotional maturity of a teenager.

They have no clue what it takes for such a large project. Even Elon “self-driving by the end of 2014” Musk hasn’t a clue.

TIL $500 can cure cancer.

Yeah, if this was a Ukrainian or her kids were grown, I would understand. But, she has young kids who need her and probably can’t even begin to understand the situation in Ukraine.

If this were my spouse, I’d divorce and begin looking for another mother for the kids. I don’t know any mothers or fathers that would leave young children for a foreign war.

This is really fucked up, America.

You’ve abandoned not just science but common sense and sanity.

Except the ones played by Jack Black.

This guy is in a vulnerable district:

With a Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) rating of EVEN, the district is the least Republican of the congressional districts in Nebraska.[Wikipedia]

Republicans don’t say things like this without permission from the Party. He gets to say this to protect his seat. He’ll likely still vote in lock-step with Republicans unless they get a bigger majority.

Easier to manipulate, yes.

The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.
