Nothing they are doing even takes very much skill at all. It's literally reading records and actually looking at them. That is exactly what wasn't being done before.
DOGE didn't even confuse it - the system of record was wrong then updated later to a lower amount. These are exactly the kinds of problems with the system.
The problem is feds literally cannot get fired, ever, no matter how poorly a job they do. I know a fed who punched his coworker in the face at work, got nothing but a suspension. There has to be a correction at point.
I find it interesting how they were afraid before Trump to say their feelings. Seems like one side is much more threatening and hateful. Left do not fear to express their feelings right now or in Trumps first term.
Trump issued a statement saying that he would issue an executive order after he became president that retroactively would dismiss any fines which satisfied both TikTok and the app hosting providers (Apple, Google).
He makes jokes and is humble but wouldn't know it from democrat reporters. In a way he was forced into being a republican just like most former democrats like him were. When you are trying to get things done, things like anti-meritocratic ideas like woke culture get in the way. Things like California eliminating advanced classes for students altogether because it was seen as diverting too many resources away from black and brown students. That's one example of hundreds where the democrat run states/cities/officials always seem to make things harder to accomplish anything.
As a stop gap until infrastructure is updated to handle the electricity and generate it from renewable sources. Tesla is heavily in the battery and solar space as well, they just have focused on cars so much its practically been ignored. Solar in order to generate electricity, and battery to store it so you can use it when its night or cloudy. Once alternatives are truly available, you'll see you'll see a huge change, but as it is now, electrification itself enables you to later simply change your power plants rather than every vehicle on the road.
I don't see how AI became a paying app on the consumer side. Copilot should have been included with Microsoft for free with some limit to block abusers or a way to upgrade for business processes. Absolutely zero people I know want to pay anything at all for a platform to rewrite an e-mail now and then.
The US isn't even treating adults like young adults. Everyone is an infant these days. There was a YouTube video about the 10 commandments that said "Thou shall not kill" and it was demonetized because it "involved violence" and never corrected even once YouTube knew the problem. There is a list of thousands of words you cannot say or talk about without getting your channel banned or demonetized. YouTube is not alone in this either, its everywhere. Banks, PayPal, Patreon, they are all blackballing people. In fact most of the large tech companies use the same third party moderation and will end up banning the same person across all channels at once if you end up on their shit list.
Musk himself has said Starlink is not designed for cities and fiber is a much better option there. To supply say NYC, you would need also be supplying bandwidth to the entire world underneath the orbit that the satellites. That is a lot of wasted satellite time as it flies around the earth with zero users most of the time just for the brief moment while users spike to the scale of a city like NYC.
Obviously many people will use open source without contributing. The point of making it open source being that others will run into bugs, let you know about them, and maybe even try to fix them, especially if they also become or are reliant on the software. They might even want improvements to make it work for them and again work on them if they have a need for it. If a software is good and/or mature enough it doesn't need to be open source in the first place and doesn't need contributions. Wordpress has sort of reached that mature place where it is already 'good enough' but you can't now un-open source it.
They don't have the same ownership though. Imagine if you own 70% of one company and 40% of another, and then the company you own 40% of is de-banked in a country because the company you own 70% of chose to stop doing business in that country. It's corruption at an unprecedented scale.
Roblox built up by allowing users to create 'mini-games' that copied every single major title out there, but keep your avatar or a portion of it across games. When I watched my kid play it was littered with copyrighted music, games, and characters everywhere. It's interesting that once it got in trouble with some copyrights it still survived - although I suspect that is just because everyone who could sue them hasn't yet.
I believe in sugar free soda as an alternative to regular soda, however the "experts" in this article are completely off base to say it is a no brainer to tax other sugary items. Sure, reduction of sugar intake -via soda- was reduced per the article, but sugar intake is not even the right measurement of success. The right measurement is health, were BMI, obesity, diabetes, heart problems, or overall mortality rate reduced. You can cut all the sugar you want but if you are consuming other carbohydrates or calories as a replacement, then you are doing all for naught. Not saying its true, but imagine someone whose hunger is satiated by consuming small amounts of sugar resulting in overall lower calorie intake. Again, sugar intake is a meaningless stat without the resulting health impact being taken into account.
I think it just highlights how bad Google's algorithm has become. Answers from the Onion, Reddit, and other highly inaccurate sources. Doesn't help that everyone has already gamified the Google search results. I used top be able to find an answer to a difficult question by going 2-3 pages deep. Now, I know if I have to go past the 1st page its all spam.
Lets take those one at a time. So Twitter he fired a bunch of people and it works better than ever with more innovation. He called a guy a pedo who may be one and was talking smack way before Elon was. Maybe he misattributed some failure to someone? Okay, who hasn't done that? You say he went easy on Tesla safety.. with the cars with the best safety ratings of any car that exists.. still not getting it. You are mad he wants to save civilization also, okay... and that is bad again why? Because he is actually doing it by popularizing electric cars that can run on sustainable energy, or by giving internet to those who don't have it and could never have had it before? And supposedly you say he doesn't value human life, according to who? Why do you care how many children another person has, He has the money to have 10000 children and treat them all better than most millionaire children. Your question of "How is that ethical?" How is it not? You gave literally no reasons that don't scream an emotional attachent to hating him.
None of those claims were claims by them, they were claims you hoped for. If you look at what was actually said it was all at random interview or podcasts, rarely if ever even at a Tesla release or event. PLus it was all "I Think.." if you want to fault a CEO for being optimistic, literally every CEO in the world should be in jail. Do you know how many "World's Best Burger" restaurants there are? The only actual claims that could be considered valid are those by the website when the purchase of the car was actually taking place, which promised exactly none of that.
This doesn't seem fraudulent, FSD was an additional optional feature you didn't have to buy not a required featured. Then when you bought it there was plenty of disclaimer about how there is no timeline for release. So your claiming that because the CEO said something at random speech - that was technically correct anyways, that apparently that overrides all of the disclaimers you have to sign when actually buying the car?
We're actually seeing how much people can read into words too much. There was zero promise by Musk just some guesses and when you buy the car itself it has all sorts of lack of promises.
It's going to be hard to prove fraud when literally everywhere you buy it it said it is not currently available and gave no timeline to when you would receive it.
True, the rate of improvements has been insane. I use it pretty often and haven't even noticed a second of unavailability even today and right now, not to say I use it 24/7 though. It's pretty obvious some people have a political bend to their hatred of Twitter so any second something isn't perfect they jump on it. It's really a sad state of affairs really.
This is where user options should allow for that. If being called a different gender is so bad just block the people that do that. The problem is you might need that word in general discourse as well. So you can't just create a rule that blocks everyone who says "He" just like you can block the n-word. The problem is with the person assuming every single person in the general public should treat them as a friend and getting offended when a label that is applied to half of the population (neither as a positive or negative, merely as a descriptor) is somehow that bad of a thing.
I disagree, you are making one interpretation of what "Full Self Driving Beta" means to everyone, as if everyone using a beta, they have to opt-in, and purchase, and have a good driving record (indicating they understand the rules of the road), is only looking at it like a headline article they don't read. 'You imagine everyone is dumb and you are the only smart person who looks beyond the name of something. You are the one caught up in the marketing yourself while the people actually making the decisions to spend their money on this and opt in are the ones actually looking into its. You claim that they take no responsibility is incorrect as they offer their own insurance if so chosen. If insurance companies don't want to cover it, they can easily just not cover Teslas but that isn't happening. Insurance companies still cover it because Tesla is safer than other vehicles. "Full Self Driving" doesn't mean perfect driving, it means as good or better than the average human and that bar is not that hard to pass.
