Why would you attribute to genius what is more likely explained by idiocy?

No, Trump's administration is straight up criminal. The guy has made ~3500 stock trades in the last 3 months, and there's a pattern of him publicly pumping stock by mentioning a co…

I support this. The purpose of a home is for people who live in the area to live in, not to be a speculative investment. This is part of the reason we have a housing shortage in th…

It's only a certain subset of the population that speaks like this. It's pompous and ridiculous. Are the two syllables in the word "request" one too many for people working in Prod…

A distinct people? That's a myth. Every American is an immigrant, or descended from an immigrant.

> this administration clearly had no idea what they were getting themselves into All of the advisors in the room with Trump (Cheung, Caine, etc.) told him explicitly after the meet…

I don't think so. During that time the potential of LLMs to eliminate work wasn't obvious. That was pre-hype explosion.

Making America great again, again.

ICE is now a fascist paramilitary operation, and in my view, they are no longer legitimate. They lost that claim when they began violating the constitutional rights of citizens and…

He keeps claiming falsely that he's "ended 8 wars," but at this point he's actually attacked 8 different countries. Up is always down with these people.

Not only aid, it was a powerful tool for the extension of American soft power around the globe. But I guess we're no longer able to reason in the abstract beyond "helping people is…

By the way, this is just the estimate from Pete Hegseth, who has demonstrated himself to be an unreliable narrator. This administration seems to have difficulty with numbers in gen…

xAI is working on virtualizing white collar workers. I'm guessing this is part of that. See also: companies buying up the Slack and email archives of defunct startups, for training…

Great write up... curious about the RCA. Thanks!

Hardly a party trick. My car handles 97% of my driving and it's on old hardware. Have you actually tried HW4? It's definitely on par with Waymo. Also, I guarantee you FSD would rec…

> Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is l…

It's an alias that only applies to Federal employees. The Congressionally-legislated actual name of the department is still Department of Defense.

Exactly. "Department of War" is guidance that applies only to Federal employees, and the Department of Defense was named through Congressional legislation. That is still the depart…

Fun fact: The Department of Defense was named through legislation. Trump's EO that "renames" it only applies to Federal employees as guidance. No one else needs to call it that, an…

It was well-litigated by the Trump administration, and none of their frivolous claims held up. They lost ~60 of their 63 court cases, and the 3 they won were technicalities. 2020 w…

Oh sure... I'll just give you my idea to make Uber but for dogs.

For context though, consumer spending has contracted significantly.

I had the same sentiment, but also recall what generated human hands looked like a year ago vs. now. The solo was pretty funny though.

Seriously. Who is going to buy another Futurehome product knowing that they feel entitled to extort their customers, whose only alternative is to remove the devices integrated into…
