It goes on to say it'll be reviewed by independent third party so I think "declare" is accurate, they're declaring a milestone

Why do we need journalists in a military building that is presumably full of classified information and people having conversations about said information? I was surprised to hear this was even a thing, it seems really odd to me. If I was t

It is mental effort to have to recognize what is triggering you and to take positive action to fix it. The radio is more symbolic of having to do it 40 times a day across all the things you find triggering, or having to find ways to live yo

Brave in iOS and yeah. Pinch to zoom better on images sucked, the auto zoom effect cut off the part it was trying to highlight on my smaller phone, and various other jumpy problems

Happiness is not a single metric you can use to determine what is best. The most rewarding lives are ones where you can sacrifice for something meaningful to you. Sacrificing to have a rewarding, independent life without children may not be

I don’t think people want to murder for opinions, but rather the actions they take because of this opinions.

It’s also irrefutable fact that pro-state or pro-cop agitators throughout history will pretend to be a demonstrator and throw a single brick to give the cops an excuse to break some skulls

Yeah the corporate bootlicking around all of this is weird. We’ve hated patent trolls and Disney’s abuse/corruption of the copyright system and record label lawsuits, but suddenly intellectual property is great?

Agreed, it’s bad form to comment about this but good god is this writing bad. It’s like the first 5 paragraphs were repeating the same thing and only changing the wording

This seems factually incorrect? There are massively more scientists on X than bluesky, and they seem to engage in their profession on X all the time. The scientists I know personally are actually using LinkedIn the most for discussions arou

I would rather every vehicle be high quality autonomous than humans, I think if all cars could signal both their locations and intentions we’d probably never have accidents and save millions of lives

My worst personal quality is that while I tip extremely well for everything (like $15 for a $40 haircut) I absolutely refuse to leave tips almost always for Ubers. I will if it was genuinely good service, a clean car that doesn’t have a gal

Being charged the same percentage of income is still the same punishment. It’s a non-controversial concept in economics that there is a marginal utility to money, as in, if you have a billion dollars, then getting an extra hundred doesn’t g
