Pragmatically, yes. Legally, no. Progressives have been fighting for years to get internet classified as a utility in the US, and regressives and (ironically) internet companies have been fighting against that effort at every turn in the name of profit.
And now look how well that’s turned out. Gee, if only some people had warned them that deregulation was a monkey’s paw…
Fix? Bruh, they explicitly cultivate that shit. Even if they could, they’re not gonna.
Jesus Fucking Christ.
Y’all, remember when people freaked out over Mozilla changing their TOU (but not their Privacy Policy)? This bill is the pro-corporate, ultracapitalist, “hold my beer” version of that change, and it could be enshrined into law.
If you live in California, call your state reps (i.e. don’t just email or write a letter). Tell them to vote no on this blatant privacy violation.
ETA: this is a bipartisan bill. If you have a Democratic rep, don’t just assume they’ll vote against it. Call them, too!
Sure, if that family member is just deaf enough to mishear everything and has the functional intelligence of a cabbage.
Calling him successful is technically true, but it kind of glosses over some very pertinent details of his success. He’s a billionaire, and you don’t get to be a billionaire without doing a lot of monstrous things to good people.
The surprise isn’t whether he’s good looking enough to get a partner. The surprise is over the fact that there’s another human being who thinks that those are qualities worth overlooking, especially one who’s queer, since billionaires like Sam Altman support the current regime that’s wholly against LGBTQ+ folks. And that same person with questionable tastes in partners wanted to take care of another human being with Sam Altman.
Enjoy getting replaced at that job, you mean. If they’re replacing recruitment, those companies don’t value what humans bring to the table.
They stopped putting aluminum in homes, because it has a tendency to overheat more. The aluminum expands and contracts with load more than copper, which can loosen contact points and encourage oxidation, which then increases resistance and heat. Hot wires in the walls and outlet boxes are no bueno.

Okay I will admit it was impressive to see how they solved where to stow the wings and essentially shrink the airplane footprint to a long car footprint, but who is this for? Who out there has $1mil to blow and is like, “I have to drive directly from the tarmac to my hotel”?
This thing needs 300m of runway in its airplane form to get airborne, so forget city or even suburban takeoffs. And you’re not going to just drive this thing around. At the end of the day, this is still a (very fancy) plane that drives.
I think they’re using “geek” here to mean “fan,” but I agree that being a geek implies a level of fandom or interest that these “wounded fans” don’t have, or else they’d know more about these corporations they’re stanning.
I think a better word would simply be “fan.”
It’s pretty cool how books are more than just fuel for imagination, no? But I second the idea of joining a book club, because not only do you get the cognitive effects of a book, but you get the social benefits of a club!
Some people think you can use it as a replacement for therapy or to fight loneliness. Turns out, simply reading fiction is better.

Oh good. So my account is already long gone. Phew!
Nope, and it’s actually pretty clever what happened. The judge in the case basically let him go (which is what Trump wanted) but in such a way that the DoJ can’t ever relitigate it (something Trump didn’t want).
Justice was denied, imo, but under the circumstances, the judge managed to thread the needle and keep Trump from being able to blackmail him into doing his bidding.
So gifted! So capable! Such a deep understanding of the technology!
In a sense, he kinda does have a deep understanding. He knows how the grift works and knows how to trick people into giving him money for a little acting.
Sometimes, I wonder what my life would have been like had even just dabbled in Bitcoin at the beginning, but then I remember that I would have to have been rubbing elbows with these weirdos.
Experts assume that Unitree H1 was in a state of falling, because of which the autocorrection was triggered.
This is how robots try to regain their balance when falling.
Bullshit headline. Even the video just looks like a robot blindly flailing. Nothing to see here except a test gone awry.
It’s how the US got Trump. The “Trump Train” was a meme, first.
We don’t have to be monsters in kind. The American prison system is monstrous all on its own.
I recommend reading the article, because holy fuck is that whole thing dystopian, but here’s who was there:
Ah, yes. The very companies that helped install a fascist in the US would be great partners to bring about safety and criminal reform, and they would definitely not inject their fascist ideals into the UK government, eroding and poisoning it over time. Sounds like a brilliant plan! /s
