Wow... the same sorts who rahrahed ending the SALT deduction ASAP are having a sad now? I can't think of a better argument for ending this nonsense stat.

So one in 500 Americans have died of covid-19 at this point. If you get vaccinated, your chance of death from this stupid virus drops by a factor of 10. But apparently these are not good enough odds for those of us who consider ourselves ar

Somehow I think their understanding would jump exponentially for ICE autos, but not for Tesla or any other EV builder. That seems to be the bespoke irrationality for this market segment.

AI is not the problem here. AI just notices stuff. It's the lack of even amateur hour emotional intelligence in the product managers who deploy systems like this IMO.

Most of my family lives in Texas. They're appalled by this law. But yeah, don't go anywhere near their guns. They've literally called the cops on each other over their guns. They have assault rifles by their beds and vaults f

Work issued T580. IT insisted docking stations were needed for higher resolutions. Doing some research, it turns out that is true but also one can buy a proprietary USB-C cable as well, my bad. It's the built-in HDMI that caps at 1920x

The laptop screen is fine, it's the HDMI out limited to 1920x1080 that's problematic. Carrying a docking station around defeats the portability of the laptop IMO. And it's not like there aren't better options than Lenovo

You mean a laptop in 2021 that still only supports 1920x1080 resolution without a docking station? Or did they finally fix that nonsense?

Easy: a downloader that makes it look like you've watched those stupid commercials, but you actually haven't and you're back to the original video. Let the sponsors beware.

So these incidents seem to happen once every week or two. So is your position here that if there were a commercial passenger airline crash every week or two, people wouldn't and shouldn't reconsider flying? I haven't flown ei

If they're screaming at the top of their lungs solely to annoy I suspect that's quite reasonable. What's unfortunate here is that a tiny minority of people have ruined domestic travel with their behavior. It's such a sha

My late friend who was a BFF of Peter Thiel because they were Stanford chums, used to describe Palantir as an evil company wrapped up in Harry Potter metaphors despite taking money from them as a consultant. I see nothing but confirmation b

No disagreement. Watch them make everything so much worse before they make it so much better. Their eyes are on the prize, not so much the road they take IMO. Time will tell.

Yeah good luck with that Outlook. I think Steve Ballmer is the one who knocked the wind out of the sails and the sales of Microsoft more than the antitrust lawsuit but maybe I'm just crazy. My own experience with Microsoft during the n

That makes sense. They need that electricity now not later. But as soon as they have an alternative* they will decommission. They continue to have a lower per capita footprint than the West. And I could be wrong but it would be consistent w

Except that's not how it's going to play out. I suspect it plays out by China going fully nuclear and renewable in the next decade. They'll make mistakes, they'll kill people in accidents, but they will get there. That w

A minor that he had mentored since she was 14. If that isn't solid evidence of poor judgment I don't know what is. Also incredibly and disgustingly creepy.

That I would guess is exactly the strategy China is adopting. And the west IMO will reel in horror at even a single meltdown there and back off any plans to adopt nuclear the day that happens, wasting precious time we really don't have

I really wonder what all the China talking point sorts will do the day China not only beats us on emissions per capita but also on total emissions? What excuse to continue doing nothing will they pivot to then? India? https://spe

And then they reversed their censorship. It's hard to make perfect decisions in real time. The information got out there, it was bogus, and they faced criticism for doing it in the first place. So they chose to eliminate its effect on
