At this point it’s hard to see vaccine mandates (certainly without alternative options such as proof of recent infection/recovery or recent/regular negative test) as anything but punitive against the unvaccinated. (I am triple vac

Of course that 6% only counts land usage by humans . How many (additional) non-human habitats would you have to decimate to cover 12% of the land with (ugly) solar panels? Maybe thats acceptable in some deserts, but pretty terrible in othe

But most of his listeners are not anti vaxxers or racists, otherwise you wouldn’t believe he was a “dangerous” influence. If the best his critics can manage are character attacks against him and his guests (which is mostly what I’ve seen)

I’m confused, are you bringing up that he’s vaccinated to discredit him as being hypocritical or otherwise dishonest? If so that’s a very weird position. It can be entirely rational for someone to believe the vaccine is the best choice for

You mean there is no First Amendment violation. Free speech is a general principle that is upheld (or not) by a society as a whole, including businesses and the people who pressure them to censor.

If that’s the case “restored” is an interesting way to put it.

I assume Apple only cares enough about the anti-stalking feature to avoid significant negative press. As others have pointed out, you can buy small GPS trackers without anti-stalking features already, and those will only get smaller /

Employees and other shareholders benefit when the value of the company increases. Why is that hard to understand why they'd want to increase profits?

The strange thing is how quickly peoples' perception of a company can flip flop. 5 years ago Stripe was the underdog startup, now they're the big evil corporation?

I have to agree, it's suspicious coming a couple weeks after another negative Stripe post that got a lot of attention. And the timestamps on the HN posts he linked to are pretty damning as well. What's more likely: an established

My point was “number of collision adjustments” makes for a nice scary sounding statistic but alone it’s not a good indicator of risk. The vast majority of those would not have resulted in a collision even without collision avoidance maneuve

To be fair, that was fairly early in the Starlink program (2 prototypes were launched in 2018, and 60 more by that incident in 2019). Starlink has actively been dodging their own and other satellites successfully since then. That hasn’t sto
