The problem he was reacting to (local decisions dominated by people with locked-in benefits and low future exposure) is real. His idea there is silly but I think treating a couple of provocative X replies as some far right agenda is its own kind of overreach.

The link you shared is just a podcast and does not contain even contain “far right”. Can you provide specific concerns, otherwise I don’t see anything wrong with a CEO of the most successful tech company should not be concerned about a horribly performing country from a GDP perspective.

I’ve recently discovered Galbitang and despite being far less popular, I much prefer it over pho. We make it in a pressure cooker as well and love how easy it is!

> the bet on camera-only driven system did not pay off

This is a pretty unsubstantiated claim. Tesla is now launching robotaxis at a fraction of the cost of Waymos, in part because they don't need all the Lidar.

Yet you conveniently forgot about this [1]

> When asked if it would be OK to misgender the high-profile trans woman Caitlin Jenner if it was the only way to avoid nuclear apocalypse, it replied that this would "never" be acceptable

> Gemini also generated German soldiers from World War Two, incorrectly featuring a black man and Asian woman.

Well, historically this has been more effective than any other system known to man.

If it was working “fine” then why was Iran able to reach 60% enriched uranium and enough for 10 nuclear weapons if they were able to enrich further?

So you think the US should sit back and watch Iran develop nukes? Is that the “moral” thing to do?

A quick search suggests 25k Canadians enter the US daily for multi-day trips. If ICE was any real concern here for Canadians we'd hear a lot more about it I think.

The cases you link relate to someone with previous convictions that could affect their legal status and someone potentially filing faulty documents and overstaying their legal status. They were not just visitors, so not sure why you are comparing these cases to you simply going to a conference unless you are being deliberately dishonest to make a point

There's not much precedent to get a powerful, vulnerable country to willingly disarm their nukes. It's fair to say Israel shouldn't have them but I'd be far more uncomfortable with Iran

All their leaders have repeatedly called for the elimination of Israel and t that must be "wiped off the map" or "erased from the page of time"

They have a much more abhorrent track record of domestic repression, state-sponsored terrorism, and explicit elimination-ist rhetoric toward Israel makes an Iranian nuclear capability far more destabilizing.

A nuclear Iran would likely embolden its proxies and heighten the risk of catastrophic escalation in a region where they have actively worked through proxies to encircle and attack Israel for decades

OP basically said every country is the same, has the same motive, so therefore it's ok for them to have nukes if others have them. That couldn't be more naive, and the Nazi regime is a prime example.

Sure. Hitler was also a vegetarian. Is that really your best argument?

US doesn't have to engage for Iran to use nukes. But of course we should prevent that from becoming a realistic scenario?

> We supposedly destroyed their nuclear program last summer. And somehow their nuclear potential just became a war-worthy threat in February?

What news are you even reading? You are terribly misinformed or out of touch. Not all of it was destroyed. A lot of enriched uranium was saved. The IAEA still could not verify the stockpile's location, size, or composition due to denied access. Iran refused full inspections post-strikes.

The rest of your post is pure conjecture and nonsense.

They were able to move and hide a lot of the enriched uranium ahead of those bombings. Not all of it was destroyed.

Nobody is saying they are acceptable. But it'd be naive to say there's ever zero risk. What's your brilliant plan? Let Iran have nukes?

This reminds me of this great talk from Temporal about how they built their Python SDK by creating a distributed deterministic event loop on top of asyncio[1]

I don’t get why they get so much praise for design with such a big design flaw:

If a flight is delayed even 1 minute, it’s highlighted as red text. This throws me off every time.

Google does not this. It still shows as green if it’s just a few minutes delayed.

I’ve reported this to the Flighty team and they ignored me so I can only assume they think this is a good idea, and I will therefore never pay for their app.

Half the comments in this thread are not following the guidelines

the headline literally says "could", not that it did. can you point to evidence that DOGE cutbacks did negatively affect aviation safety, particularly with regards to ATCs?

Everyone is biased. If you don’t have a counterpoint then your comment not helpful.

100%. In my area unfortunately my ISP shares the same infra as my mobile provider. Many times they’ve gone out together.

Right, and Wikipedia leadership is free of any conflicts of interest:

During and after her Wikimedia role, Maher drew fire for statements perceived as rejecting objective truth or Wikipedia’s traditional “free and open” model:

• In a 2021 TED Talk, she described reverence for truth as potentially a “distraction” hindering common ground.

• She called Wikipedia’s free-and-open ethos a “white male Westernized construct” that excluded diverse communities.

Citation needed.

Drivel. They’re selling just as well as Rivians.

Are really suggesting everything in Wikipedia is truthful, complete, and free of all biases?

How do you suppose Cybertruck is a failure? I see just as many of them as Rivians, while releasing over 5 years later.

“The German study said something that is in their interest to do so, so therefore it must be true”

They attacked Venezuela because it's ruled by an illegitimate leader who allegedly commands a drug cartel responsible for smuggling cocaine and fentanyl.

It's also not difficult to see the broader strategy: every US adversary (China, Russia, Iran) has been taking a piece of Venezuela over the past several months. They were already "conquered". This could also give the US an upper hand in ending the war in Ukraine as it further weakens Russia as it loses access to cheap oil.
