I'm sure you'll find some trick to not get recognized, wear some glasses or a surgical mask.

Good. It’s high time we used modern technology to make public transportation safer. Soon there’ll be nowhere left to harass strangers in public. If that’s too Orwellian for you, feel free to bike.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Some vague handwaving "liberalism bad" by people who have never bothered to try to understand how systems work.

You'll never guess what structure contributes most to "government funds": guess what, it starts with "com" and ends with "panies".

Requiring $7 billion in collateral, nearly half the cost of the entire $15 billion project, to insure the utility’s full capital investment in case the company walks away, is completely insane. “Existing customers should not subsidize data

The term neoliberalism has no meaning, it's purely used in a pejorative way by leftists. If you want to talk about world markets, just say world markets. Or "free market", but it has free in it so it makes the effect less pow

That’s interesting, because this is another clear case of total fabrication. I will skip the $135bn figure, produced by an influence NGO and once again counting paid leave, to focus on the more serious and important alleged $500bn loss from

DOGE was met with worldwide media outrage in the first weeks of its creation, and scorched earth legal tactics by the opposition. The people involved, even the lowest employees, got worldwide scrutiny, including character assassination arti

I found this "estimate" in one second. In another second of reading it, I saw the 21 billion were payouts to let go of employees. Do you realize how silly it makes the report?

So now Elon is responsible for the waste in government? Yeah, it makes sense...

Some people find their self-worth through their hatred of others, and it's clearly your case.

Nope, they're his rockets. He did employ people to help with the project, alright. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq8HrxfSZMc

Political signaling is not comedy, and it's not funny. Just be normal.

It makes sense in the black-majority country of South Africa, which was the context of Grok's rant. They sing "kill the Boers, kill the farmers" at major political rallies, and it's not even illegal. https://e

It's deranged to believe correctly naming something is "affiliation".

It's because spilling water doesn't do anything: water evaporates, becomes cloud, rains down etc. Meanwhile, datacenters sacrifice water by sending it to Mars in order to compute criminal deepfakes of innocent politicians.

Personally I see nothing wrong with prediction markets, so it feels weird to see people around here freak about it as if it was the antichrist put in place by <current politicians they don't like>.

By tampering he becomes an accessory, which in some juridictions are punished on the same level as the principals. In this case, the principals have been convicted on terrorism charges.

This title by Reason seems unreasonable. The man was convicted of "tampering with evidence". In other circumstances, it would have been perfectly legal for him to transport these pamphlets. As it turns out, when someone (your wife

"A mediocre student who had studied SAT-style questions for weeks leading up to the test would likely outperform a high IQ student who last solved those types of problems over a year prior." That's why hard questions exist.

It's weird that you don't mention academics. My words were precise though. This "open hostility" is not an official stance but a projection. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025/12&#x2F

It's okay, the service they provide is invaluable: cheap movement. If anything, I wish the EU was regulated by Ryanair to stop taking all my money for zero result.
