Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

Make that ...in 2024 there were 7080.

In 2016, there were 6080 pedestrian deaths in the US. In 2017, there were 7080. Ascribing all 1000 of those additional deaths, plus another 2000 that presumably wouldn't have been happened, isn't credible.

I suppose what they did is make themselves a toy model which related hood height to deaths, then applied said model to actual hood heights to come up with a number. Basically assuming what they wanted to prove.

They took away my strncpy? No problem, I'll use strcpy instead.

It's a state matter; SCOTUS isn't going to take it.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.

False. While the ballot measure does not impose an annual wealth tax, it authorizes the legislature to implement one without further voter approval. It also lets the legislature set the rate and the floor.

The wealth tax on Brin would amount to 67%, because it goes by percentage of voting shares or percentage of ownership, whichever is greater. I assume something similar would apply to Page, who also holds Alphabet class B shares. Of course they're going to avoid that.

"Who would have thought that school buses would be turned into the mass surveillance state?,"

As soon as they heard about the cameras? EVERYBODY.

Democracy is for retards.

Government did this. All of this. Government regulated so much that only a rare few can afford to compete.

This is late stage statism. Retard voters are to blame.

Like you.

The original article was written with AI and it shows.

Interestingly, I was in a lab yesterday and met a PhD student whose thesis was largely about using LLMs to fake fingerprints and retinal scans.

The US tends to import heavy sour crude and export light sweet crude. We have the refining capacity for heavy sour, which is more capital and energy intensive, so that works out economically. We have extra heavy refining capacity now because in January Dos Bocas went on line in Mexico, so Mexico can now refine more heavy and export more lucrative refined products. Fortunately for US refiners, we also got a new source of crude (very heavy and sour) when we "liberated" Venezuela.

In general, the heavier and more sour the crude, the harder it is to refine; if the US suddenly had an excess of light sweet and a shortage of heavy sour, US refineries could still handle it.
