The percent of the US population that is foreign-born is about the same as it was before 1920. To use your vocabulary, it is a pernicious lie to pretend that America's success from…

Microsoft is the 4th largest company in the world. There should be a long list of companies whose policies are worse than theirs.

I still have a personal Touch Bar MBP, and I find it annoying. My problem is that I lightly rest my hands on the keyboard (including the f keys), and this habit is harmless on most…

Obviously so. You're either responding to an LLM or a badly malfunctioning human.

Oakland California has about 200,000 cameras if we include public and private cameras, substantially more than other cities. It also has substantially more robberies than the avera…

BYD is, by far, the largest EV manufacturer in the world. And they've been making semis for ages. It is not newsworthy that BYD shipped another one. They do that every 15 minutes. …

They have ADAS systems. And Volvo is already working with Aurora which is doing live tests of actual self driving, similar to Waymo. There's no news here. Self-driving is no longer…

It's not newsworthy. There are more than a dozen companies shipping electric semis in low quantities, and at least three who have been shipping and supporting them for years. Anybo…
