I get it, really. “For the kids” is almost always bullshit. But Zuckerberg (and originally Sandberg) intentionally targeted kids and intentionally tweaked algorithms to hurt them (e.g. the entire profit motive for Instagram is giving teen g

This is, by a wide margin, the most technically and technologically incompetent group of people that has ever been in government. Wild that the smartest people in the room are the teenage felons basing trade policy on ChatGPT responses.

Agreed. Don’t let them pretend to be sympathetic or empathetic. Every single one of these turds knew exactly what they were trying to buy, and none of them regret their choices.

Your question is, “even if IQ tests don’t show intelligence, how will someone who did poorly on one cope at Harvard”? Seriously? That’s your question? And you think these low income students are why you didn’t get into your school of choice

Which is, of course, why the internet is a spectacular failure and SpaceX is our best chance to ever put a man on the moon, and polio is still ravaging the country. Great point.

Just making it clear, as usual that none of these people actually care about children, no matter what they say when passing abhorrent internet laws and prosecuting miscarriages. But at least they’ll get some tax cuts. That’s what’s really i

Every time I think I’ve maxed out how tired I am of people who have no business asserting medical opinion doing it aggressively anyways, someone reminds me that it can always get worse. At least you dropped an ad for your own project in the

That’s a pretty dishonest reading of this topic. Do you think DG “cares” about poor people? Do you think people might worry about poor people being exploited and ending up worse off? Or is this just a “Label X is my whole entire personali

This is what roughly 1/3 of voting age adults in the US wanted (and another 1/3 think doesn’t matter). Those people are over-represented in tech. This is what they think “winning” is.

It’s clear you don’t understand anything about the conflict or what might happen if the US withdrew support for Israel. What’s weird is refusing to bother learning, and instead plugging your ears so you can smarmily opine about being “pro k

Sure, but that’s what I’m saying: even for the people who buy trucks basically as status symbols, it’s a crappy truck. There’s just no use case, IMO, where it sells to anyone who isn’t fully into what Elon was or currently is, or who didn’t

They did not. Had they, Congress would’ve done something, given it can legislate and owns the budget. Americans have widely voted for people who actually represent them - craven, shortsighted and mean - to go to Congress.
