Well I would hope that's what the Factbook would say since penguins exclusively live in the Southern Hemisphere.

The safe harbor provisions largely protect X from the content that the users post (within reason). Suddenly Grok/X were actually producing the objectionable content. Users were making gross requests and then an LLM owned by X, using X

All phones would be subject to the same - it’s not like Pixel devices are made in West Virginia or something.

Good LEDs in the right circumstances will last almost forever - unfortunately many LEDs on the shelf are trash. They often have small print about not using them in enclosed fixtures or sconces since their thermal management is atrocious and

It’s a shame that grift claims everything.. once upon a time, Huberman was a serious person but he’s now just Joe Rogan with an advanced degree - platforming all sorts of bullshit for a check. At least there are other sources listed though

I’m sure that’s what Bezos tells himself. Which is both wrong and absolutely ignominious. And if Elon’s X feed contains his real thoughts, his brain has turned to pudding and he earnestly believes a bunch of really vile racist garbage, so I

Forced means something else when you’re among the most rich and powerful people on earth - they chose to do this. It’s far more demeaning and should haunt them to their graves.

People do realize that Republicans have agency right? It’s more fun to blame democrats but it’s fairly striking to blame them while hand waving away that the right wing fascist project has been ongoing since at least 2010. They could have

ICE isn’t auditing Medicaid FFS. And no, there’s absolutely no evidence they’re getting access to Medicaid. They’re single mindedly looking for undocumented immigrants to deport.

It’s the latest talking point from ‘the Right’ to undermine US protests. You can see it multiple times in this very thread. Transparent and hollow.

J6 was a completely standard use case to confirm someone’s location in the Capitol with the location data from providers. It wasn’t some novel or breakthrough use, and not everything in life is a slippery slope so it’s completely rational t

Tools like this are substantially different than time/location Bound geofences with warrants served to providers like were used in the Jan 6 investigations. And even those are under SCOTUS scrutiny for 4th amendment concerns.

I get the point of his comment but it’s just nonsense… plenty of good CEOs aren’t SMEs in the field and plenty of bad ones are. the CEO of Boeing is absolutely an engineer - and so was the CEO during most of the years people consider the wo

Yeah every once in awhile I’ll catch an old comedy special and it’s almost jarring how much of the content from some comics was “my wife is awful and she’s really dumb for expecting things from me”. Neighbors of a certain age have that same

Later on there was a ton of weird anti-feminist content in the comics.. he also had his blog where he wrote way too much so ended up in holocaust-denial and “evolution is fake” territory. Another person talented in one field and pretty unre

I get the frustration of not seeing eg the next laser or transistor from a modern Bell Labs - but for a few hundred dollars an Indian teenager can build an app which could be used by a billion people using only free and open source technolo

And under which jurisdiction is this going to be prosecuted? So some random Nazi on Twitter makes CSAM of an Irish actress - is Musk going to comply with the subpoena to help the Irish authorities find the user? He’s already said he won’t

The first term laid a lot of the groundwork for this term as well - had he not appointed three SC Justices, things would look very different. This court has said basically that all executive actions including pretextual investigations via t

They’re lying to you that the last guidelines were the food pyramid people are remembering from the 1990s. These are the prior recommendations: https://lgpress.clemson.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2024&

Just for anyone reading - the food pyramid was canned over 15 years ago. MAHA promotes it as absurd in order to criticize it even though food guidelines have been evidence-based and extremely reasonable since the early Obama years. Their e
