Billionaires, billionaires billionaires, billionaires! And multimillionaires, and somewhat the millionaires. See also, this post which is one of the most succinct statements on the state of taxes, spending, and the deficit that I have seen:

Yes, a patent can be extended with a different use case. Drug repurposing or repositioning is mostly done exactly because of this financial benefit. Unfortunately that does not apply to currently generic drugs, so pharmaceutical companies d

Yes. I was speaking in admiration when I said Macron whooped Trump.

Oh, Russia is still the outside force pulling Trump's puppet strings. They just did such a good propaganda job with "Russia Russia Russia" that people are afraid to say it.

You must have missed the visit from the French president. Macron whooped Trump harder than Stormy. That's probably why his fragile little ego needed someone to tell at.

Your link includes the following points about the law that established the Merlion as a symbol/logo for the tourism board, which makes me think their variation is fine: STB does not own copyright for variations of the Merlion Sym

Thinking that everyone in a federal job or benefitting from those big bad grants are all in one party is some massive ignorance that takes a lot of brainwashing on right wing media to accomplish. They won't understand until it affects

elon lost a contract. At this point most people consider that a good thing, since he is trying to sow chaos in the US government for little to no benefit to the US or anywhere else except his wallet. And he is enabling the little dictator.

I'm surprised the deal was worth more than the market cap when they did the license rug pull.

I'm curious as to whether this would really make better coffee. Is fresh roasted from green beans a better cup? Is their regular roaster worth getting vs the digital one? Do green coffee beans last longer? Where do you get green coffee

Curious as to what LLMs you are using to allow successful queries like this and what are you using them for? If you don't mind sharing. My understanding was that these would result in some fairly random, maybe true maybe not, results.

Personally, I think they'll move some of the Alexa+ functionality to prime subscribers and increase the prime rate again to subsidize.

Yes, please do this GP. Renounce your citizenship and be free of the big bad taxes. Most of us prefer infrastructure and long term public research.

No. Trump got a 49.8% plurality of the vote was the second time around. The first time around he only got 46.1% to Hillary Clinton's 48.2% (not even a plurality -- yay electoral college). He did not win a majority in either of his wins

I don't think the expected final timeline is really the point. I think the point is cash flow, and to defund and disrupt competition. The benefit to musk is cash 3 years early and locking out competition -- win win. Regardless, if the

The weirdest part to me, especially with that kind of money, is the lack of bringing in external expertise. There are a lot of ag experts that are up to date on the latest greenhouse, climate, and plant science. Many colleges in the US st

All of this is about actual oversight verification and oversight performed in 2024 and earlier. This is pre-doge, so of course none of their garbage lies show up. Only the actual oversight by regulators that doge is fking up.
