I might be misreading your comment so that being said: If you wear a body cam because you feel threatened, hopefully you tell others that you're potentially recording them. The other catch is that the smart glasses do more than simpl

Yeah at first this was all "man Elon turned a lot of people off" and now it seems like "uh ... is Tesla quitting?". If they do end up quitting this will be the weirdest ever business story.

I find it is more a rubber hits the road thing where they have to use it to really understand.

Honestly, if I would just get what the end user “really wants” (they often don’t even know) that would save a huge percentage of the overall cost, and that’s not code that’s human nature.

SCOTUS can potentially take up a case at any point and it could had they wished decided the tariffs would not go into effect until they ruled.

SCOTUS has a role in this too. I know folks are cheering on their decision yesterday BUT: Early on they effectively decided that inconveniencing the powerful (Trump) was worse than we the people being illegally taxed for a year and didn&#x

The SCOTUS's largely hands off methods and "let the cases work it's way through the system" effectively means they're out of the game and Trump can do what he wants.

The breadth and depth of Roman bureaucracy and government always amazes me. The contrast between the corruption / at times cut throat politics at the top / end of the republic, and at the same time serious efforts to maintain a re

I don't think it is always "states" as much as individual school districts / schools. I know some that don't, it's not announced that they don't and as long as nobody notices I don't think anyone loca

I logged out of facebook years ago only to find out an old friend / former coworker had died. Everyone knew, because of facebook, but not me :( It’s certainly the social hub for some groups.

SCOTUS can do so if they wish.

Individual tax refunds are far different than this.

I know how that works but the speed and process should reflect the severity of the issue. Illegally taxing billions from we the people? Should be addressed immediately. And they have done that before….

I don’t get what SCOTUS is up to as far as a practical matter goes. They’re hands off so the president can clearly gather illegal taxes. Then they change their mind. So what? The government gives the taxes back? Is that even possible? N

>The policy does not define what qualifies as “controversial” or what constitutes a “broad and balanced approach.” I'm sure it will just be "things that powerful people tell us not to talk about".

The "lists" that were public of science grants identified as DEI absolutely indicated they were just doing a ctrl+f on diversity, women, race at times. Same went for removing people from government websites and so on.

There's a lot of "bad look" things that aren't a big deal. But man this one indicates such a horrible look / lack of effort (like none) from Microsoft. Not that Microsoft is short on bad looks, but this really seems

Do we really know what single payer would do with any certainty? There's not really been a real test what a healthcare system with any kind of "natural" market forces at work. The current system is just a mess of tax breaks

Wouldn't any exception for any reason also fall into this argument? Also the American healthcare system is such a kludge of laws with mixed motivations and so on. At this point keeping local hospitals operating seems like a good goal
