Is nothing sacred??

An expansionistic dictatorial ethnostate controls its corporations tightly and makes good products while genociding minority groups? Sounds so familiar! It's time to pick a side. Do you want to live under Han supremacy or the messy reality that is America?

So if I'm gonna buy an EV I should do it soon. Sigh.

At the state and local level registration taxes fund road usage, but I can only drive one car at a time. While it would be more environmentally optimal for me to have multiple vehicles with different roles, the vehicle tax in my state (CO) penalizes this with high yearly registration fees...

I love the Rose Gold finish, I had a Rose Gold iPhone at one point that would have matched perfectly. Now if only the registration tax structure/insurance structure favored having a second EV vehicle if your primary is ICE.

I kinda want to have my entire first PC in VR.

I would love to see a government issued digital ID that would establish your humanity and preserve some degree of anonymity. In the meanwhile I don't want to interact with a horde of AI bots and sock puppet accounts, and subscription fees are a great way to see whose opinions you should take...

Remember Delicious Library? I'd like that but for everything in my home, garage, storage unit, etc. How good is object recognition these days? Good enough to recognize and categorize evey object in my home and remember where I put it?

All of Elon's companies fit together, on Mars. I do not want Elon out of the loop at Tesla, that's how we get our Moon and Mars rovers.

Looks over at CO2 meter only 602 PPM in here, nice! All climate change issues aside, if, for example, Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) retrofits would fix not only the NO2 from gas stoves but also a bunch of other indoor air quality issues and reduce viral transmission, we should focus our...

1) On a broad scale, if we'd like to reduce 19,000 statistical deaths per year as defined, are there ways we could do that that would be cheaper or better than banning gas stoves? 2) Could we get most of the benefit of banning gas stoves with less of the costs by limiting gas stoves to larger...

Let's not pretend this is an outlier, many health care items are massively overpriced. Nobody has a reasonable plan to solve it. Here's a plan. We'll create medical embassies for select countries where the laws of the USA do not apply but the laws of the guest country do. The guest country...

With so much of the same hardware as a Mac, are we near seeing MacOS/iPadOS convergence? What's missing from iPad that you couldn't run MacOS?

As a former poor person I'd rather have had the cash. These kind of programs only cut the legs off of the real low cost services the free market can provide. Also, most poor people I know don't even need wired broadband, they access the internet through their phones.

Is this a good new precedent? Once a model objects to a photo we all have to stop using it? What about after the model dies? Can we start using it again? How about movies? Once an actor objects to the film we have to stop watching it? What about all the other people involved in production...

They put ant-ibiotics on wounds that are uncle-an.

Star Shitizen: A walking simulator where you can get killed randomly by geometry. Also you can fly spaceships.

The last thing I want is my bank only loaning energy to green companies. A bank that did that would soon be bankRUPT. There's a reason these loans have to be guaranteed by the government: they do not pencil out otherwise. Frankly, this "Fossil Fuel" category should not include Methane, one of...

Cool, next we should replace all the income qualified federal programs that contribute to the benefits cliff with programs that don't disincentivize productivity or encourage fraud. We can get a lot more bang for our buck if people are still motivated to work.

We need to be carefully filtering and incinerating all our human and farm animal waste streams, not burying them or dumping them in the ocean. This is technically feasible, we just need to abandon the idea of recycling. Sorry, with few exceptions it does not scale!
