I mean a business registered to an address taking millions from government to provide child care. The address is boarded up, no children. All on video and public records for evidence. What more do you want? But that's not all, of cours

Since we're being condescending here: what you're missing is absence of laws making a given activity illegal. As far as I know there's no law that you could use to claim that Facebook did something illegal based on some notio

As far as I can tell, even in US, the most litigious nation in the world, you can't SUCCESSFULLY sue e.g. a cigarette maker or alcohol maker for making you addicted. (I emphasize successfully because of course you can sue anyone for an

> spreading that one meal out throughout the day Probably yes. But you're minimizing the difficulty of staying in caloric deficit. IF you can stick to one meal per day AND eat mostly protein (vs. mostly sugar / carbs) THEN it&#

Tesla never had lidar so they didn't abandon it. Also, Tesla started FSD in 2016. The very core of their strategy was (and is) to sell $40k car with hardware capable of running FSD. Cameras are super cheap, FSD chip is reasonably inexp

1. in US you can get a driver's license if you're deaf so as a society we think you can drive without hearing 2. since this is in context of Tesla: tesla cars do have microphones and FSD does use it for responding to sirens etc.

That's a silly bar to ask for. Chrome took at least a thousand man years i.e. 100 people working for 10 years. I'm lowballing here: it's likely way, way more. If ai gives 10x speedup, to reproduce Chrome as it is today would

Not to take away from your experience but to offer a counterpoint. I used claude code to port rust pdb parsing library to typescript. My SumatraPDF is a large C++ app and I wanted visibility into where does the size of functions / data

Because there's nothing to learn. "learning" to use claude code is less effort than learning how to use the basics of git. They provide value today so I'm using them today.

At the same time, I can refuse to be a loser in chess and I'll still have 0% chance of beating Magnus Carlsen. I'm very much a proponent of hard work to the best of your ability but I'm also a realist. I'm pretty good at

I think there are 0 people in NBA that don't have natural ability placing them in 1% of general pop. Your statement might be applicable to jobs that can be performed more than adequately by 20% percentile talent but not to most sports

Are you looking for facts that will contradict your opinion? Justin Bieber clearly was that. His youtube videos got him discovered at age 13-14. Vanessa Paradis made her first public appearance as a singer at age 7. There are several childr

I think it's safe to say that ORM in Django is, in fact, better in all possible ways than an ORM someone at some company just wrote. Including speed and handling edge cases. We only know what OP wrote and he doesn't sell himself a

They literally just (in the last few days) started unsupervised robotaxis in Austin. They are as self-driving as a car can be. This is different than the one where they had a human supervisor in passenger seat (which they still do elsewhere

Tesla is cooperating with Lemonade on this by providing them necessary user driving data. If Tesla didn't want Lemonade to provide this, they could block them. Strategically, Tesla doesn't want to be an insurer. They started the i

Because that's the law of the land currently. The product you buy is called "FSD Supervised". It clearly states you're liable and must supervise the system. I don't think there's law that would allow Tesla (or

Here's an example. Imagine you're writing a parser that creates AST tree in C++. What 99% of people do is the "individual" style where every node is allocate with new and the memory comes from generic OS allocator. Then

A bigger difference is that Ukrainians want to defend Ukraine from Russia. Maduro is a dictator. His first presidency was legitimate but he had to steal the last election and is now ruling by force, because he is so unpopular. Majority of V

Because in git tooling (be it github.com or a tui/gui client like lazygit), git branches are shown more prominently because the expectation is that a branch is something you actively work on (if you're finished with a branch, you

He didn't have to. He wanted to. Which is the same motivation as creator of rust, zig, nim, ruby, perl, python had. They all wanted to make a programming language better at something. So I don't see anything "hilarious"

To everyone asking: why is it crazy? Because the constitution explicitly grants the president absolute executive power over executive branch (government) of which FCC is part of. If government is a company then president is CEO and can do a

Per AI, comparative food production subsidies are the same in US and China. China spends a 2x total but they have more people so per farmer support is more or less the same. So if that's your metric, US is at par with China. US food is

Per internet charter schools get 20-36% less funding per child than traditional public (district) schools. Also, charter schools are also public, not private. The data seems to contradict everything you claim about charter schools. "we

Microsoft, being a U.S. company, had no choice in the matter. U.S. imposed sanctions on the guy. One component of sanctions is "Prohibition on U.S. persons (individuals or entities) conducting business or transactions with Khan."

Strange framing. Currency manipulation is meant to benefit the country doing manipulation (in this case Switzerland) at the expense of another country (in this case U.S.) It's very much the role of U.S. government to protect U.S. from

Even if true, I don't see this as significant. The current battle for electric batteries is cost, not energy density. LFP and sodium batteries are less dense that non-solid state lithium ion batteries but they are good enough to be use

That is obviously the case that federal money comes with strings and strings curtail independence. What you seem to imply that there should be no strings. Which is a position you can have but it has never been the case. To wit, one of the t

Given that leftists have gained control of academia, are democrats fascists? My claim of "leftists control academia" is based on data on political affiliation / donations by staff at major universities which is 80-90% democra
