superduty··on Climate Change: The Unsettled Science
Did you read the linked article? It raises some fantastic points and questions, in a healthy scientific manner.

Your laundry list of weather events over a 12 month period is nothing unusual given that you can look back n years or decades and find similarly active or eventful seasons.

What are your thoughts on the section about lag in proxy records?

superduty··on Social media companies made $11B in US ad revenue from minors, study finds
How is that revenue different than the ad revenue TV networks make with the wall of toy commercials during morning cartoons?
superduty··on Ask HN: Subscriptions you'll keep and subscriptions you'll cancel?
All entertainment subs cancelled except yt premium. We had Prime, but cancelled it today. Their frequent price increases, and this new stealth price increase to stop ads was the last straw.
superduty··on The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
If models are training on NYT content the future of AI is horrific.
superduty··on The Chevy Blazer EV Launch Has Gone from Rough to Worse as GM Issues Stop-Sale
You imagine wrong, at least in the case of Ford’s execs.

The burden of corrupt and useless unions and the ancient dealership model are direct contributors to the garbage the big 3 put out. Stifled product and manufacturing innovation, build costs out of control, quality disincentivized, and the ever present spectre of easy Democrat $$bailouts work against designing or building or delivering anything good at a reasonable cost.

superduty··on Fastmail Employees Form a Union
Yep. Nor can you unionize to better wages or working conditions. We are long past the usefulness of unions.

Unions achieve nothing but enriching their executives and stifling innovation and ballooning costs.

superduty··on Fastmail Employees Form a Union
Stagnate. lol. You’re new here aren’t you.

4x average US salary not enough for you as a starting wage?

Snowflakes.

superduty··on Elon Musk promised an anti-'woke' chatbot. It's not going as planned
Huh? Say more. But make it relevant.
superduty··on Study: TikTok Global Platform Anomalies Align with CCP Geostrategic Objectives [pdf]
This.
superduty··on Study: TikTok Global Platform Anomalies Align with CCP Geostrategic Objectives [pdf]
It’s not.

This nonsense was created as fodder for incompetent and dishonest politicians.

You’ll now hear the least competent ones exclaim things like “a rutgers study says China bad, China spy, China control of social media not same as US government control of social media ugg ugg fire fire”.

superduty··on Trump asks Supreme Court not to weigh in, now, on whether he's immune from Jan 6
[flagged]
superduty··on CCP targets young Taiwanese voters through TikTok
Sounds eerily similar to the U.S. situation where Democrats are colluding with media like CNN and NYT to manipulate narratives and sow disinformation.
superduty··on OpenAI suspends ByteDance's account after it used GPT to train its own AI model
Yes
superduty··on Biden Forgave Billions in Student Debt. Poll Shows It's Not Enough for Gen Z
The debt doesn’t get “forgiven”. It gets shifted to those who had no part in creating it, didn’t sign for it, and didn’t benefit from it.

Unless Biden went and extracted refunds from the teachers and universities and booksellers and landlords and weed dealers who were paid with these loans.

superduty··on CNN's Clarissa Ward visits a Gaza hospital, this is what she saw [video]
The problem with this is that CNN is party-run media, so the reporting will be framed as required by the Administration.

What would be far more useful is independent coverage.

superduty··on GM Says It's Ditching Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for Your Safety
lol. They clearly chose dishonesty.
superduty··on Wayfair CEO tells employees to expect long hours and 'blending work and life'
"Working long hours, being responsive, blending work and life, is not anything to shy away from," he wrote. "There is not a lot of history of laziness being rewarded with success."

In the not too distant future, when Wayfair is still struggling, and layoffs flow, this will look like pure abusive evil, in hindsight.

No one should ever sacrifice their health or quality of life for a company, especially one with an obvious ahole running it.

superduty··on Carbon pricing would raise trillions needed to tackle climate crisis, says IMF
lol.

(Yes that’s it).

superduty··on Why Tesla Autopilot shouldn't be used in as many places as you think
Garbage article from the very first sentence. Par for Bezos-run media.
superduty··on Teslas will be able to automatically call 911 if you get in a crash
I can see right now you’re the fun one at the table over holidays. Poor family.
superduty··on Tesla Model Y 2nd in new vehicle registrations in the US, overtaking Toyota RAV4
Did you stomp your feet as you typed out your tantrum?

Read some Blind posts about <insert random tech company name here>.

Have you spent any time in a Lucid or Lightning? Both have had their share of issues with the infotainment and info centers restarting or freezing. And the Hyundais. And the Escalade. There’s a reason vehicle controls systems are not affected by the info display systems.

Reuters..lol.

superduty··on EU's electric dreams short-circuited by EV charging gridlock
Utterly shocking..
superduty··on Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan: Curing All Human Diseases [video]
Logical fallacies are your superpower. Bravo.
superduty··on Show HN: Beeper Mini – iMessage client for Android
What is currently not interoperable between the majors mobile OS makers?
superduty··on Who Is BasedBeffJezos, Leader of the 'E/Acc' Movement?
“Sweeping”…lol

It’s mostly that idiot Andreesen and his aged, irrelevant hangers-on that vomit the e/acc nonsense on twitter and clubhouse.

superduty··on Biden says he lowered inflation, hosts first meeting of new supply chain council
Who here believes Biden lowered inflation?
superduty··on Volkswagen says its core VW brand is 'no longer competitive' financially
Shedding the outdated burdens of unions and the dealership sales model is all that will save these dinosaurs and allow them to innovate at competitive prices. Dump unions, automate far more, implement cutting edge materials and processes and technologies, dump the dealer mafia, and all will be well.
superduty··on Starlink will only operate in the Gaza Strip with the approval of Israel
Your reasons for this declaration?
superduty··on Bay Area proposes per mile toll for using the freeways
You have an error in your formula. Gas taxes in California have been used mostly for anything -but- road maintenance. What California needs to do is solve their wasteful spending problem. They do not have a taxation problem.
superduty··on Rock climbers like to connect with nature – but are they also destroying it?
No.
