Things are maybe worse (more chaotic and incompetent) than I expected, but I think his first term showed him to be extremely capricious. I'm not going to say that I predicted it, but it was definitely predict able .

Well it might be the second most famous now, having been supplanted by Charlie Kirk through recency if not also notability (harder to spin the motives of the UHC CEO's killer in a way that people aren't sympathetic to).

I can't find the detailed breakdown for 2025, but in 2024, they took in $308bn in premiums and paid out $264bn in medical costs. So even ignoring all of the downstream and systemic problems caused by insurance existing as a for-profit

How extensively do you use it? When my team was just using it for meetings and the attached chats, it did actually work completely fine. When broader orgs started pushing more communications through it (the "teams" in teams, and a

The US is currently a net oil exporter, and has been for a few years. Now of course that's not the whole picture, but if push came to shove, the US could achieve energy independence (at least technologically, if not poitically).

There's good reason to believe that the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were essentially technical demonstrations warning the soviets, given the clearly imminent end of the war, to not start anything with us. There were alrea

Would that not cause problems when your laptop tried to connect to two networks that needed different credentials?

Space is indeed very cold, but it does not cool you off very quickly. The lack of particles means it's harder to get heat away from yourself. Essentially all of the energy produced via solar panels would be converted to heat by the com

As far as I can tell, the criteria previous package were basically about getting the market cap up. Based on all the "no"s in the "Met" column here [1], I think you could reasonably accuse him of hitting the goals for th

I have absolutely no idea what the current frontline treatment drugs are for literally any form of cancer, and would bet the same is true for almost everyone else here. Most of the exceptions are people who know the frontline treatment drug

I wasn't at all sure what you meant. The emphasis in your comment could very easily have been on "We" (another hominid discovered how to harness fire, which seems to be your intent) or on "invent" (fire happens in n

Maybe, but there was also clearly an inflection point just over 12 months ago, and another 8 years prior.

All of that and you're still a heavy user? Why would google change how Gemini works if you keep using it despite those issues?

Well I did mention hot desking, and the options you mention definitely aren't as convenient for that. They also can't match some of the benefits this thing brings by including a battery.

I don't want one, but all the skepticism is weird. I can see it making sense for hot desking office workers, or other similar. When I worked from home at my last job, I kept the laptop closed and out of sight and just connected my own

Better speech transcription is cool, but that feels kinda contrived. Phone calls exist, so do voice messages sent via texting apps, and professional drivers can also just wait a bit to send messages if they really must be text; they're

The policy would be great! You aren't playing devil's advocate for what I said. I wasn't talking about the merits of the policy at all. Him saying it just doesn't have any connection to whether the policy will ever exist

I get that title length is limited, but the "Trump Says" in the title is a pretty significant detail. He "says" things all the time.

I might prefer my tea with sugar, given the choice, but I'll still be satisfied if the tea is very good (this metaphor assumes I don't demand sugar, but merely prefer sugar). I might prefer that Apple products work differently

Importantly, that philosophy relies on the result having merit, and working cohesively on its own terms, even if it's not your preference. Like, if I go to a restaurant that refuses me sugar for my tea, it better be darn good tea.

That certainly applies to the biggest subs, but there are usually still high-quality subs for most topics.

I think fragmentation is the wrong way to look at it; they're all basically compatible at the end of the day. It's more like an endless list of people who want to min-max. Any reasonably popular distro will have enough other users

Lets not distort the past. The ads were introduced a few years later with the Kindle Keyboard, which launched with an MSRP of $140 for the base model, or $115 with ads. That was a substantial discount on a product which was already cheap wh

I'm not sure I understand your complaint. The "expected result" is either of the last two images (depending on your preference), and one of the main points of the post is to challenge the notion of "ground truth" in

The bottle in question seems to be glass, so many of those questions aren't really relevant. Glass doesn't degrade much from UV light, or at all from biological activity, whether on land or under 7 miles of ocean. Glass is denser
