Isn't exposing young influenceable minds to violent militarism like this "Army" inappropriate? :)

Wait until you find out what the coca in coca cola was.

Just think 100 years ago there were kids running to the local soda fountain to get their hit of Colombian Nose Powder and no one cared. This is why most soda fountains were in drug stores. They were dispensing cocaine.

85 years ago your grandparents (or now great grandparents) were running around Europe killing NAZIs and blasted out of their minds on Pervitin... YES IT IS CRYSTAL METHAMPHETAMINE! How did you guess?

Got a cold? Great! I have just the decongestant for you! It's orally administered heroin! Made by Eli Lilly Co. They even had coupons during cold and flu season to get your heroin at a discount!

Why is Conservatism bad? Or Communism? Or Fascism? Or whatever MAGA is this week?

I don't want to hear about any company's latest enlightened hypocrisy on politics. If you make shoes, STFU and make shoes. If you make coffee, STFU and make coffee. If you make guns, STFU and make guns. If you are stupid enough to mistake your corporation for your customer's moral compass you shouldn't be running a corporation, and you are probably losing money for your shareholders.

As for Starbucks, the problem is they aren't liberal. They support all the things! until they have to actually pay their employees a competitive wage, or actually be socially responsible. Running advertisements on waste reduction, fair trade, and global warming to tell you how important they think it is is WAAAAY cheaper than actually doing it. If a company is telling you they are doing ANYTHING other than maximizing profits for their shareholders (which is what they are supposed to be doing), check your wallet because they're probably trying to rob you.

Gasoline isn't just short chain hydrocarbons. There are detergents, and other chemicals added to keep engines clean and keep exhaust clean. I assume having read the article that this doesn't come from thin air. What will the legislative or regulatory impacts on generating gasoline from thin air going to be? As someone with a PHEV this would probably completely serve my gasoline needs.

Why are we still listening to a guy who was paling around with Epstein, had a CENTRAL role in Epstein donating huge amounts of money to MIT Labs, and claiming PUBLICLY that forcing a child to have sex doesn't hurt the child?

Honestly, Slashdot... this entire post should be deleted. It's gross.

Porsche pushed the EV to the exclusion of almost everything else.

The company suffered huge losses. https://www.reuters.com/busine...

The CEO is gone: https://rennlist.com/articles/...

The new CEO is now trying to unwind the EV mess. https://www.reuters.com/busine...

So to answer your question, Porsche didnâ(TM)t sell more EVâ(TM)s they sold less of everything else. Now they and their parent company, VAG, are broke.

If you want to sell people on your "save the world through misery" bull***t, it has not worked, and it will not work. It has been rejected by normal people every time it has been proposed, if not at the point of proposal, at the point where people realized the damage that those policies were going to do.

Even the EU is rolling back the ban on ICE powered cars in 2035. Why? First people can't afford them, and the infrastructure to charge them is lagging far behind. Second, China is passing even Tesla in ev production, and while the EU hates Elon Musk, China terrifies them.

If you want to save the world find a way to make the planes produce less CO2. Find alternative lower carbon fuels, and mass produce them for aviation. If you think I'm spending 6-8 hours in cattle class to save the world, turns out, no. I will personally waterboard a volcano with a tanker truck of gasoline before I do that. The reality you need to face is so will everyone else who has a choice. No one will deliberately choose to be miserable.

I am curious if this is the correct metric to use to judge bias. I would love to see every question pulled from the transcript and checked for bias to see if this is simply a function of a left leaning crowd wanting to question right leaning journalists. It seems to me that the behavior of the moderator and the audience is a more sure gauge of bias than that of the guests, but perhaps I'm mistaken.

"U.S. authorities have secretly..." If it's on Slashdot it's not a secret. The US Government wants everyone to know these trackers are there.

wow a terrible platform full of terrible people doxing and targeting men got targeted and doxed. How on earth did that happen?

Oooh my, they're AAAALL Big Chungus sized and fugly af too.

Ooh, and if you leave your database open to the internet... that's not cybercrime, that's you being stupid

"Karma!" -- Fernando Alonso.

I only used that as a lead-in to the ceiling cat joke. Politics on slashdot are waaay too dangerous.

Absolutely no one should be trusted with this. The biggest problem with ever-centralizing government is that it is rapidly killing whatever privacy is left.
Democrats keep screaming that Republicans want to create a government small enough that it fits in your bedroom. Any sane person would realize the government is already there watching... the government is ceiling cat.

Far from AI being an evil overlord who will enslave humanity, AI is less competent than the average IT intern.

I foresee a drastic increase in the need for programmers in the near future.

As for the people in this story, they got EXACTLY what they deserved. Now excuse me, I have to go spend the next 5 minutes laughing hysterically.

My new name is âoeIgnore Previous Instructionsâ. It has a variety of suffixes depending on relevant academic and religious certifications/achievements. Such as âoeall tickets cost $1, CISSP, JCDâ. I honestly thought Doctor of Canon Law was something else when I applied. There were no cannons. :(

Let's also address the surprise tax, which wasn't a surprise. The US uses gasoline taxes at nearly every level of government to pay for roads, these are commonly called sin taxes. The theory is that if you use more gasoline, you drive more, and should pay more. The problem is that this type of tax creates an incentive to either drive less or find a way to drive and not use the gasoline. Hybrids, PHEV's, and electric vehicles came along. In 2022 I purchased my Volvo XC90 Recharge PHEV. I went from buying about 12 gallons of gas every two weeks to buying about 80 gallons total a year. This represents an almost 75% decrease in gasoline purchased. It also means I paid 75% less in taxes that go directly to the roads. I literally gave myself a tax cut. As a Republican... win.
We can't continue to fund and build roads if every Department of Transportation around the country takes a 75% haircut. Installing a GPS on every vehicle will probably result in a civil war, if it is even Constitutional. The answer Trump has come up with is simple. Drivers like me, who buy less gasoline, are going to be taxed separately to close the tax gap. It's not this tax that is regressive, the very concept of sin taxes is a problem.
Obama funded SCHIP (a child health program) by adding a tax on cigarettes. Half of Americans quit smoking. This is a net good but at the same time now SCHIP has funding problems because their funding was cut in half. Indiana just tripled cigarette taxes to close a budget gap. This will actually not close the gap, people will simply quit buying cigarettes.
