100 megameters with no issues? How could Tesla not be #1 in car reliability rankings with that kind of performance? The rankings make it seem pretty average in terms of reliability.
Holy FUCKING shit this cannot be real. No. He could not have written this.
My estimation of SBF as a wretch just fuckin plummeted.
Did you ... stop reading?
The real die-hards don’t think it’s a scheme to create a permanent Democratic majority; they think it’s a plot to ethnically replace white Americans. At its core, the great replacement is about demographics, not democracy.
The article doesn't try to rebut this because of the staggering number of premises you need to accept before you can even reach such a conclusion. It's really not worth unpacking here.
You'll notice I didn't disagree with the verdict. I just think Kyle is scum and a murderer even if that's not under the technical legal definitions.
I don’t feel that trying to stop property damage for a family friend’s establishment in the middle of a riot, where police refused to stop people, is a pattern of behavior I want to discourage people from doing.
Really? Letting children be judge, jury, and executioner when it comes to property damage is something your'e totally okay with? I think you have a little bit of growing up to do, buddy.
If you unnecessarily bring a gun somewhere and end up in a situation where you need to use it to kill people, you're a murderer. I choose to label that murder because I place him in the same category as convicted murderers in my head. He isn't some dude going about his life and needed to use lethal force in self defense due to unforseen circumstances. He actively sought out the situation, and therefore bears some responsibility. This is more a question of if you want to see his pattern of behavior encouraged or discouraged rather than a question about any individual's culpability.
Dude, if you have a degree in econ I think your uni should lose its accreditation. I am dead serious.
You have zero understanding of cause and effect or you are looking at this conflict through a pinhole. Stop supporting and lapping up the propaganda of genocidal settler-colonialists like an useful idiot. Learn history and have some morals.
It must be so exhausting to carry water for a settler-colonial ethnostate whose very foundations are genocidal violence.
Are you this annoying in person? I feel bad for people around you.
It would do you a lot of good to actually read about communism and political theory in general instead of acting as a conduit of brain rot.
Random musings but I feel like posting: I almost got sucked into the urbit hole. I thought it was such a cool idea and implementation, and all the fun names and technical purity was so attractive to me at age 18 (this was before the crypto circus and urbit barely did anything except talk to a terminal).
It took me a while to realize that there is, actually, zero reason to give nonsensical names to literally every aspect of software, and also pretty dumb to try to shoehorn everything through a tiny functional core ("Nock") while slowly re-learning all the lessons of 50 years of compiler development. So why use it at all?
Using urbit over a normal Linux stack comes purely with downsides. Slow, buggy, obscurantist, and so on. This means whoever actually dedicates their precious time to developing this unconditionally buys into the ideology. I never thought an ideology could be so powerful that it could corrupt the minds of my people (software monkeys).
Urbit is a truly fascistHHnating phenomenon.
The problem is far worse than what any single billionaire can fix. Billions of dollars are being poured into renewable energy infrastructure. It's just that while this is happening, we're also emitting the same amount of CO2 as always. The only long-term resolution of this is de-growth.
Can't use that to explain Cs in math and physics.
