As an American, I have no fear of calling the US President a pedo or saying Fuck the Police on my Twitter. Not the case in China. It's horrifying. https://reclaimthenet.org/china-man-chair-interrogation-soci...

This US administration (or any admin) would almost certainly impose export controls on US AI technology before it would allow one of the frontier model providers to be acquired/relocate outside the US. It did the same thing when ASML

I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was just hoping to see if it was a new and novel European social site project or if it was just spinning up an instance of an existing project.

Not sure how an HOA is relevant here? Communities vote to form an HOA for themselves, new owners buying into an HOA community know up-front what the restrictions are. Not remotely the same as a cabal of media conglomerates getting together

Also weirdly they only came out in support once they saw that the operation was largely successful. It's almost like they prefer to ride on the coattails the same as they always have. They don't want to risk their politics.

So your counter argument is that we should actually only have two bus stops. One at the start of the route, and one at the end? surely we can think more critically than this...

Emptying a school bus completely is a lot faster than a city bus stop where people are simultaneously trying to get off the bus and then the new people are also trying to get on the bus and jockey for position and for a seat before the bus

by petcat 8mo ago
The gains just mean that I sit on the bus while twice as many people are trying to board at every stop. The bus is stopped for twice as long.

by petcat 8mo ago
All that means is longer lines and congestion of people waiting to board. So the bus is stopped for longer. This seems like a net nothing to me.

by petcat 8mo ago
I ride the bus and I can tell you right now that I would be pissed if this guy took away my bus stop. That's my critique. I think it's perfectly valid.

So it sounds like Munich ditching Microsoft wasn't a principled move, but just a business tactic to get the same software for cheaper.

This seems false to me. Commodore and Apple were blitzing every advertising medium and especially TV ads in the early 1980s.
