It's remarkable how confidently sweeping statements are made about organizations, especially by those with little to no understanding of how they actually function. But sure, keep believing the narrative.

By not allowing them to explain their work because someone else did the work for them? Sure.

Let me guess, you've never rode in one by like to talk about it like you have?

Amazing how the conversation changes in here to "Federal agencies shouldn't have legislative power" and no one is actually arguing whether anti-compete clauses are a good or bad thing. Classic anti-consumer tactic...distract by saying that it's an overreach of power and never talk about it again.

Just because you personally don't know of an application where it's useful doesn't mean it's useless. This research tells us a lot about airflow optimization, efficient inverter design, battery/weight ratios, etc. If you think car manufacturers are ignoring this research, you clearly don't work in the industry. All of that aside, this research prepares students for a career in the real world. Far better than sitting in a classroom listening to a lecturer.

Lol at the optimism in that thread - "Could this be a step towards a single IM protocol? Not XMPP, but good enough for me :-)"

He knows Elon proposes fluff just for media attention. That's his game too.

If this is what you think, then you should always support legislation that makes finances of government officials more transparent. Right now it's Republicans who don't want this to happen.

"Is anyone surprised"...Literally the go-to comment you see on every thread from slashdotters who lack the ability to give a properly informed response.

Good luck getting people to invest in a 2.0 version of this blockchain. Everyone who got burned is out, and anyone new will steer clear independent of whether the algorithm is sound.

This is what Net Neutrality advocates have warned about. With no guardrails in place, Comcast and Charter can throttle and stamp out competition in the streaming space. The can easily move in and dominate, then oligopolize. Support Net Neutrality regulation, folks.

The "minigames" created were garbage. The engine they used clearly had many limitations, and I just don't see how they can organically funnel users into it. Horizon Worlds just another crappy VR game published by Meta, that's it.

Having an opinion that is wrong won't get you banned from a platform. It's been like that for years. Straight up perpetuating lies to basic facts will get you banned. Trumpers have changed the political landscape permanently by weaponizing the latter. It was bound to happen eventually, they just did it first.

Imagine a resistance made up by people who have to stick to their fringe media outlets and remain in "safe space" social media circles just so they can perpetuate the insanity that they spew. If you guys are the resistance, we lost already.

This will be a very interesting case study years from now. Idiotic behavior tends to stick in the history books.
