Oh ok, anyone who disagrees with me is a racist. Nice fact based argument there thanks.

It is an excuse for temporary suspensions which happen all the time and are then restored. It’s probably impossible to do mass moderation any other way.

Both musk and Walter isaacson have denied that’s what happened. I don’t think there’s definitive proof, but the way you are telling the story makes out like everyone agrees this is what happened, which is simply not true. (Starlink was neve

From Ben Thompson (stratechery): "The first thing to note is that no one — including Apple — knows if this plan abides by the DMA. This is, unfortunately, par for the course for the European Union. Regulations are passed that insist on

Didn't Tesla say they were going to start using solid state batteries at the battery day a few years back? Does anyone know if they actually ARE using them? Or not yet - or will use them?

Remember that Meta actually followed GDPR law in terms of getting constent for personalised ads, and the irish courts even said that Meta was doing things legally, and then the EU courts decided Meta was actually doing illegal things, and f

You are making a big assumption about it being cyclical. Never in history have we had contraception, it's a huge change to human behaviour. It's not at all obvious that women actually want more than 1.5 children on average in the

The reason this isn't a doomer Elon Musk theory is that the numbers are very counter intuitive. Add to this the fact that our average age is also rising, hiding the worrying signs even more. Imagine we have a society with 100 people wi

Some say feminism (and progressivism) is just an offshoot of protestantism, albeit a secular, puritan version.

Why do we have to change our language (and behaviour) for the edge cases? Is a grandparent who raises their grandchildren offended by the word parent? I doubt it. What’s the point?

Here's a fun exercise: start at January 2022. Massive amounts of wealth were "lost" Of course they weren't actually lost, it's just that the fed started increasing interest rates and the stock market tanked. Did wea

All 5 of the billionaires in the article have almost all their wealth in shares of companies, usually ones they run. Is this hoarding? Like how is zuckerberg hoarding by owning shares in the company he founded and runs? What exactly should

Is it just me or has the quality of streaming content gone massively downhill? We are in the era of the McDonald’s of streaming. Everything is low quality mass market crap. At this point I’m only watching pre 2016 content or foreign stuff.

Lichess ratings are higher generally, although they even out with chess.com the higher you get. 1400 on lichess is more like 1200 on chess.com, but 1900 is probably 1900. Based on your post though, you definitely seem like you are very smar

I dunno, seems like there are massive risks to Figma as a business at this point with the developments in generative AI. I'm not that confident spending $17bn is justified if its going to take 10-20 years to make it back. Some generati

There's a lot more people eager to see billionaire's plans fail than billionaires. So if you want clicks and readers for ad revenue, you're not going to spin this positively.

Whooosh. The point goes completely over your head. As it does for many who want to hate Musk at all costs. EPA range is standardised. Any OTHER car other than tesla also loses range if you use the AC or drive fast. This isn't some gran

Why do people watch pro sports? Why do we fall into the cult of the sports personality? Why do people follow movie stars? Because we’re human, and we gossip and obsess over high performers.

If we can just for a second forget about Musk's politics - it's absolutely insane to think China would be dominating both the rocket and electric car industries if it wasn't for him. (And yes, it is because of him, Blue Origi
