By your thinking, airlines ought to be allowed to operate using experimental aircraft and stock aircraft that are not properly maintained. It's one thing for an inventor to be reckless and kill himself. It's another when you take paying customers.

There was little opportunity to prevent Stockton Rush from operating an unsafe vessel outside of a totalitarian environment we wouldn't want. However, when you start offering rides to paying customers, things change. That should and can be regulated. It is hard to hide. Furthermore, Rush fired staff who pointed out the problems. A better whistleblower system might have made their voices heard.

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

Statism creates billionaires.

This is what happened
 
LLM trained on security breaches are getting real good at finding tiny security flaws, probably unwinding years or even decades of intentional security flaws for various agencies

There hasn't been a single improvement to android i needed/wanted since my Nexus 5 back in....2013. I just want vanilla android, no changes, particularly to the UI, and security updates, for the next 60 years. I just don't give a fuck about whatever feature the UI/UX designer trying to justify their job, is trying to squeeze into a mature product at this point. Go fuck yourself, UI/UX dude at google. I hate you, you actively make my life worse.

You don't need government approval for each trip in your car. That's a major difference between what China is requiring for drones and US driving laws.

Surprise! It's $24 Billion with a B! That's how much ransom Trump is willing to pay to get himself out of vietnam. If only Israel will stop attacking Lebanon. Which they won't. So this continues on ad infinitum. Welco mm e to the forever war literally everyone told him not to get into, and countless generals took early retirement in protest for. But keep pushing a partisan agenda.

Hey AC how big is the check the big guy is writing to iran? Does it start with a B? Is it more of less than 10? Oh it's more than 20? Does that sound like winning to you? Because I have a bridge in brooklyn to sell you.

The country you're awkwardly putting in quotation marks has the leader of the free world tweeting about his surrender terms for a war he started, so if that's the bar for dysfunctional, uh,

Iran is at war with Israel and the US. There's no version of reality where they open the strait and don't negotiate peace with israel

Nice try, Israel

This is a three sided war, Israel needs to also agree to all the terms including the "don't invade lebanon" one. At this point they have shown zero indication of signing the MOU. Without participation of Israel this thing is pretty much dead in the water.

The US has had price shocks with Iran and Russia and..... there was a flight to quality. To GOLD. The price of bitcoin sat flat, and then shrank, whereas the price of gold keeps going up and up. Bitcoin never really recovered after that. First real test of bitcoin as a store of wealth and it failed. It's never really recovered since then. Gold remains king.
 
I don't actually own any gold and don't have an interest in it, but it's been hilarious to hear people claim bitcoin was digital gold, and when push came to shove, people pushed bitcoin off a cliff, and the price of gold stayed strong, proving all the bitcoin promoters wrong once and for all.

Young kids only understand immediate consequences. Like, seconds to minutes after. Doing something like taking a picture, and then it causing problems hours, or more likely days or weeks later has no impact on their decision making.
