I think Eric's article is reasonable - he does truly know the business. I mean, what would be ideal is that Congress would a) stop funding pork for the sake of pork (any other company who went 2x over cost parameters and delivered more than 2x the original ETA late would just be fired and sued...

They are using Tyler Technologies in multiple states now and it seems ... outdated ... at best. IAAL and a pretty tech saavy one, and I worry a lot about the implications of both security in these systems and the ability of these systems to just get it wrong and then everybody's pointing their...

I would be amazed if Jassy himself actually came to the office 5 days a week. I bet, on average, that he's out of the office at least 1-2 days a week "for work". Does visiting Bezos on his yacht count? /s

So I have the same musing a lot of you do - we used about 16.5MW of power in the last year at my home, and so I would have loved to see more details about how many MWH/etc. these things could provide. As somebody else mentioned above: Yes, you can currently get generators that run on LNG/etc...

Missing the livestream today!

My oldest wants one, and I told him there's no way in Hades he's getting one of those. If (when) Apple Vision stuff comes down in price, then I'd gladly get us one of those or even consider it for him, but the Facebook/Meta version? Hell naw. Never. Related, can somebody explain in broader...

Same here. I only got on there 1-2x, but they can't even have that information now!

If any of you need an email template, here's what I wrote: Pursuant to Section 5, Paragraph i, I, <name>, of the account for ***************@gmail.com, hereby opt-out of your arbitrary and stupid "arbitration and class action waiver provisions" as set forth in your TOS update dated November 30...

I definitely love this kind of content, Aurich! I love a good space news article as much as the rest but it's cool to see something like this that's more in depth and potentially solving novel problems that could end up being picked up or twisted into other cool solutions that we hadn't even...

I did a Spartan Race back in 2013 and a poison ivy/oak/sumac/etc. vine got cut to clear a path and the ends left in the water obstacle (crawling through muddy water, 3-4" deep under 18" high barbwire kinda deal). The outbreak afterward was similar - something like 300-400+ of us ended up having...

Especially not 2 YEARS after complaints began. I understand due process, but after she didn't respond for a 3 months - 90 days is plenty of time to respond if you need more time, are trying to cooperate, etc., but suspension should have been immediate after 90 days pending either cooperation or...

But at this point, why would anybody want to create an audience on Twitter? If you get popular enough (or offend the Chief Twit enough), Twitter will just seize your handle which is essentially de-platforming. Why anybody remains on Twitter at this point is beyond me - including major networks.

Why don't these sites - I said the same thing for Twitter - just charge users to use 3rd party apps? (And they could still charge a much smaller API access fee to developers). For sites I like to frequent, I would be willing to pay a small monthly fee (~$8?) to access the content the way I want...

When he bought Twitter, had he NOT killed APIs, I would have gladly paid $8/month to use Tweetbot to view Twitter. Maybe more... it was the primary way I consumed news. Instead, he's gone around Trump-style not paying his bills, and axed all the folks with no notice (after promising they'd keep...

In the same way we regulate food via food labels, make the creators list sources designate authorship, so that output can be tracked. Much in the same way we didn't know certain food dyes can cause weird allergy problems or worse health problems, that would be multitudes easier to track if we...

I deleted both my professional and personal accounts. I'm so over Musk/Twitter drama. Let it burn to the ground already!

What about future humanoid robots? If a human interaction is required, i.e. turning a key, whats to stop AI from sending in two humanoid robots with the physical dexterity to turn keys on its command using its generated passcodes? Agreed though that requiring a US President to get congressional...

Not surprised, but I will not buy any car in the future that doesn't offer CarPlay, full stop. At that point, I'd have to rip out the head unit and put in a carplay compatible one, so I'm sure the aftermarket ill continue to thrive in used cars. But who wants to pay full new car price and it not...

This seems really rich, coming from a guy trying to make money by selling you a car that drives itself.... Elon "but it's not fully autonomous, but we'll call it "FULL SELF DRIVING" and charge more for it anyways" Musk...

Well, I mean, they are about 90 seconds whenever you factor in the repeated lyrics. Some of them would be as short as 30 seconds if you took out the redundancy.
