This reads too much like a generalization of the standard complaints about management and their stupid meetings, the basic thesis of that web comic that was neither funny nor true, Dilbert. The criminal justice system may be overwhelmed, bu

I'm having trouble imaging an "ineffective behemoth", but you seem like the person that puts the d in dictionary, so I'll defer to your wisdom.

How can that be seen at Tesla and SpaceX, two companies that he started (more or less), an neither of which is in a "solidly profitable state"?

If you run Windows or Linux you gain nothing. Apple just demonstrates some ability that operating systems have. They all have this ability. Apple’s benign use of it gives you no new information.

It’s an agreement to change the rules, obviously. So I don’t quite see what other form this should or even could take. And, FWIW, some back-and-forth with the constitutional court is entirely normal and expected. It’s not a crime or otherwi

It's funny that the article rather explicitly rejects such theories of malfeasance/corruption/etc. and, instead, points to cognitive effects interacting with the decision-making process as a plausible cause that is compatible

The EU does not think of the UK in that way. In fact it tends not to think of the UK at all, these days. As to being "fair game": that's true, in the sense that the EU will place the interests of member states over those of t

True, in the sense that being healthy is also less stable than being dead. Wrong, in any meaningful way, and obviously so: the linked index rates democracy on multiple dimensions, including protection of civil liberties, electoral process a

It’d be stupid to run a cable straight through the EU, as well, yes. You want to be part of a large and diverse grid. Then, you add or reinforce long-distance connections based on observed patterns. So the UK should get over itself, connect

Sounds like a civilized country, with maybe a Mosley-shaped exception. And your method does a far better job to show how harebrained all these sounds-like-everything-comments are. (Which I am having considerable trouble believing, but maybe

Yes, they really hate diversity, love weapons, tend towards manly displays of machoism, abhor weakness, prefer strong leaders giving orders over endless group discussions, seek to return to a glorious traditional past where men were men and

It mostly seems to tick off a few ...somethings. Since it's quite impossible to disagree with the idea of "New York Liberal" and "globalist" being an anti-semitic dogwhistle once you've heard of it, the downvot

I did put climate action as #3, but I think it's fairly weak. "Nature" isn't quite the evil scheming enemy fascists "plots" come up with. For a while, global finance & banking was maybe in such a role, but

Nope: - "Diversity" is, like, a banner issue for the left currently. - If anything, the left is accused of failing to try to "appeal to social frustration" by focussing on the generally more optimistic middle class. - Th

Yes, but: industry avoided worse. This is a pro-consumer bill in its entirety. The headline here just feeds into mindless cynicism.

The article lists everything the law does. It doesn’t list everything they wanted and didn’t get because, as Journalists, they arent suppose to want anything and therefore cannot list their disappointments. Yes, the article is a bit sterile

There are quite a few regular recipients of blood products, however. It's processed quite a bit (read: separated into its constituent parts and reassembled for what is needed, much like orange juice) which may already filter the stuff.

There are diseases where you get regular transfusions. For these patients, PFAS would become a problem since they are, by definition, not subject to degradation. Unless, of course, the patients are physically losing blood. Which makes me wo

Does it matter if environmental concern was the true reason? I’m fairly certain it does make a significant difference. And, FWIW, Apple has always been interested in making money. The environmental concern is rather new, and coincides with

I remember a bit of a ruined Christmas when I got some toy that required batteries, with no batteries in the house and the next two days being public holidays.
