thundercleeze··on Two high-speed trains collide near Toledo, Spain
How is it that Waymo can safely operate a car on public streets but accidents like this are still possible?
thundercleeze··on Jared Kushner Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, Millions in Transactions
This is a nothingburger. I'm willing to believe the entirety of the story as it's presented. Kusher and Co. are plainly, unrepentantly corrupt. This isn't an expose or even an article: it's a book excerpt and an advertisement which has no citations.

If the Dutch showed the screenshots and stated they were genuine this information would matter.

thundercleeze··on Show HN: SimCity, but with Permits
It's not the result of 100 years of democracy: it's the result of Euclid v Ambler and the subsequent cases that support it. Exclusionary zoning baring residential zoning outright is a taking and should be treated as such. Filthy poors are a nuisance:

"With particular reference to apartment houses, it is pointed out that the development of detached house sections is greatly retarded by the coming of apartment houses, which has sometimes resulted in destroying the entire section for private house purposes; that, in such sections, very often the apartment house is a mere parasite . . ." Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co., 272 U.S. 365 (1926)

thundercleeze··on Amazon pushes up prices across the Internet
This is a strawman. OP said " I shop at Amazon due to their logistics." Nothing in your post refutes why OP shops at Amazon.
thundercleeze··on Visually impaired people fear smart glasses backlash
Thanks. This is a helpful tool. BBC blocking access to non-uk IP's is very annoying.
thundercleeze··on Visually impaired people fear smart glasses backlash
Blind. The article is referring to blind and partly blind people. I'm visually impaired and thus I wear corrective lenses. This practice of applying euphemisms to every disability and impairment is stupid and unhelpful.
thundercleeze··on Earth is tearing apart beneath the Pacific Northwest
This article is AI.
thundercleeze··on Warren Buffett Steps Down as Berkshire Chairman, Names Son to Replace Him
I imagine there were some other candidates in 1993 that didn't share Buffet's genetics.
thundercleeze··on Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds
Nothing in the UN report claims that this was an intentional strike on civilians. They make NO claim to that effect.

The claim is that "the U.S. failed in its obligation to do everything feasible to verify that it was a military objective. Updating targeting information and acting upon such information falls within the category of feasible precautions an attacking party is required to take under IHL . . . the strikes are a violation of the obligation to distinguish between civilian objects.

And:

" the Mission concluded that when targeting the school building, the U.S acted wilfully, that is with the requisite mental element of recklessness ( dolus eventualis)."

And (finally):

". . . the Mission found that these strikes constituted an indiscriminate attack in violation of the principle of distinction."

The UN report's claim is that the US negligently used outdated information which led them to think this compound hit was still a military target.

It's evident you didn't read the report and submitted a shitpost.

thundercleeze··on Chicken products recalled in five states due to “false marks of inspection”
This post is not of sufficient quality for this board and I hope it's not emblematic of a trend.

Thehealthy.com is not a real news outlet and this isn't real news. 25klbs of chicken is an infinitesimal amount of total consumed in the US.

thundercleeze··on One Oakland police officer made $490k in overtime
It's not fraud if it's the point. Oakland's government isn't poorly run from the perspective of the criminals, in and out of government, profiting off of the dysfunction.
thundercleeze··on $580M undersea cable rerouted to avoid the grave of Dobby the House Elf
This is a nice thing.
thundercleeze··on The Future Is for Everyone – The Path to a Positive AI Future
Press releases aren't really post worthy here right? This is just an ad.
thundercleeze··on Waymo in Dallas
You also can't do inter-city train trips in most of the US either. Inter-city autonomous car trips will almost certainly happen before the trains arrive.
thundercleeze··on Waymo in Dallas
You're avoiding the point and wrong in assuming the analogy is incorrect. The US has around 1/5th the heat related deaths that Europe does despite being hotter, more often and mostly of European background. https://maartenboudry.substack.com/p/how-europe-became-the-w...
thundercleeze··on SpaceX wins $1.6B Space Force contract for 18 Falcon 9 launches
This thread is evidence of the decline in comment quality on this board.
thundercleeze··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
Cognitive debt is an idiotic phrase.
thundercleeze··on John C. Dvorak has died
What a bummer.
thundercleeze··on Windows 11 users are tired of MS account requirements creeping into everything
Your computer is not "likely" to be stolen and sold.
thundercleeze··on West Coast Cities Turn to Vacancy Taxes to Grapple with Housing Crisis
As long as they don't let anyone build more housing: that'd ruin the character of the neighborhood.
