LOL and while youâ(TM)re revving up that huge reciprocating mass to launch off the start line the EV left you in the dust because it doesnâ(TM)t need to spin up the mass before applying power to move the load. But youâ(TM)ll have a lot of fun getting there and making a TON of noise. Been there done that many times over and have long moved on.

I also have a Tesla FSD car and it is terrible on country roads. It's awesome on freeways and most larger thoroughfares but it still gets fooled by deep shadows and cars parked on the shoulders of roads and especially on curves. The car will come to nearly a complete stop when a shadow is on the road in a specific location every- single- time. I can see there is nothing there but the Tesla would have traffic blocked. I've also had it attempt to "correct" my driving when it sees a concrete gutter extended into the roadway - it thinks the edge of the road is where the concrete/asphalt divide is instead of the actual fog line on the concrete. It's aggressively attempted to steer me into the other lane multiple times as a result. On the freeway, getting on and off the freeway - no problem except in heavy traffic where I've had it lock up all 4 wheels when I tapped the brake. I realize these are anecdotes but it underscores how it is not good enough for me to use it all the time and it drives like a drunken sailor half the time anyway...

Kinda makes sense in an idiotic sort of way - Fox News viewers don't seem to be able to understand that its not news but Op/Ed, so having an editorial section in a scientific journal might confuse people. You know those scientists have a hard time telling fact from fiction...

What federal laws is California trying to nullify in the state exactly?

Yes they are - all the damn time. I made the mistake of picking up my phone in my car in San Francisco once and a cop spotted me and instantly pulled me over to give me a ticket. The only place that probably WONT happen is in Oakland because the police are just too busy fucking prostitutes to be bothered.

This is exactly correct. And really what the goal seems to be is to remove as many impediments as possible between the idea and execution - who needs a pesky technologist group to implement your ideas that then turns on you because of some sense of shared morality? Such things have no place in a capitalist society so removing the technologists that are currently required to implement these ideas would be ideal.

Youâ(TM)re basing claims on a myth?

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/0... Bezos is a Trump bootlicker.

Despite the requests to stop doing that so folks aren't profiled from "out of the area". Stupid governments - oh wait; they're the ones looking for the "outsiders"...

But that's exactly what we have to do today. We don't get to do whatever we want in EU countries for example, we have to follow GDPR or safe harbor rules that were negotiated around this - it doesn't just happen.

I'm not sure why this concept is so hard to understand. Shopify built a profile for me without my consent and suddenly I had a shopify account that I didn't know existed. Turns out I can request to delete the data and I did but anytime I make an online purchase I still get a text from their platform despite asking to have that data removed. I didn't ask for any of this and it's illegal by California law. Doesn't matter if their servers or cookie headers are from "elsewhere" - the actions were applied _here_ therefore jurisdiction.

Fucking moron. There are far more ways to address this rather than stick it to the public like is being done now. A really great start would be to staff up the IRS to get the taxes we are OWED and then start ratcheting up taxes on the billionaires. You perpetuate the LIE that we don't have enough wealth here to cover SS and MC (as you call them) and suggest we need to cut other things. FALSE. God damnit I am so tired of stupid people that think they have the answers.

Actually I think there was another layer to the discussion IIRC - wasn't there also something about how content providers also own the pipes that deliver the content and can shape traffic to suit their content vs. actual needs. In other words the content providers should be kept at arms length or more from the content delivery...

Completely incorrect about Apple. The R&D facilities that Apple maintains in China are about manufacturing and tackling problems specific to those manufacturing lines. Almost all the actual R&D - hardware, firmware, software are outside China with the bulk in the US but also spread around the planet depending on what company Apple purchased as they tend to leave the team intact and in place in many cases.

uncontrolled experiments with brain damage in children due to low level lead exposure is not worth the risk you fucking moron
