Oh the humanity!

I can see why Amazon wants to reduce this though, that way you'll get your next hit a lot quicker, and can order more stuff you don't need for rapid delivery once the high wears off.

I've seen snippets and read reviews but I'm having trouble seeing it as anything more than another Man Alone film, but set in space instead of on a boat in the Pacific or trapped in a remote mountain range or somewhere in Antarctica or the other usual settings for this sort of thing. Possibly influenced by The Martian which was that but even more so. Friend of mine has been trying to get me to see it but I'm having trouble working up any enthusiasm.

I reckon there's billions to be made peddling schemes for oil pipelines that bypass the Straight of Hormuz.

Note that this claim is disputed. The average American quite probably does violate a lot more than three obscure and mostly never-enforced statutes a day, but the felonies are somewhat cherry-picked and not necessarily an issue, e.g. companies charged rather than individuals, possible charges brought up for political reasons, no-one actually charged, etc.

Incidentally, if anyone else wants to "successfully create plasma", you can buy the necessary gear from Aliexpress, with free shipping.

There's also the obligatory woof! woof! woof! comment that's mandatory in any discussion of quantum.

That was my reaction as well, given the way the current administration does things did a US router vendor make a $10 million contribution to the Ballroom Fund?

In terms of who qualifies, there is still at least one remaining all-US manufacturer, Adtran in Alabama, however their ESG report says:

which I doubt would make them any friends in the Trump administration, so they're not doing this for them.

OpenAI has values?

Ah, just remembered, "maximising shareholder value" is a sort of value. As you were.

It's worse than that, I hear they provide diverse power sources, increase investors equity, and are inclusive of alternative technologies. May as well just paint red pentagrams on them.

Translated headline: "Firefox announces more shit no-one asked for and no-one wants".

It all depends on the branding. The Donald J.Trump Space Station (getcher memecoins now!) would get approved in no time.

I bet Qatar is pissed, they just got the worst return on a $400 million bribe in history.

Also the front door would be in the roof, the kitchen would be two feet wide and fifteen feet long, the toilets would drain into the sink, and the light switches would be on the outside.

Don't worry guys, our AI has hallucinated at least a dozen ways to do it.

We're not letting things go to shit, we're streamlining business, removing obstacles, ensuring prosperity. If you only have to report twice a year, which will soon become once a year, you have six to twelve months to run your streamlined business without any inconvenient oversight.
