Elon Musk won’t face criminal charges for offering voters $1 million checks during 2025 Supreme Court election

"Without me, Trump would have lost the election, Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate" His words.

The staggering $446m Elon Musk has spent on the US midterms

Elon has spent more in the past 2 years than George Soros has in his entire lifetime

And let's not forget that time he accused Trump of being a pedophile, and then spends 1/2 billion supporting him still.

So yeah, from a certain point of view Musk is damaging my country more than Xi is which is a fucking crazy statement to say out loud but here we are. Depressing innit?

I think for the most part in the US, the EV market is saturated.

Most people that want(ed) them have them....I read a good number of them got out of the EV when they could...and lost money on the resell....

Unless you have offstreet parking and a garage in the US in a home you own, you're like SOL for home charging which I feel is absolutely necessary to really conveniently use an EV....especially due to charging infrastructure not being a thing unless you are on the far east or west coast....?

'Competitors' might as well be spelled F-R-O-N-T in this space. It represents fashionable cellular brands spread wide on every digital street corner, while hiding just how few unique telecommunications backbone provider pimps are left out there controlling every signal street.

A collusive group, has maintained significant (backbone) control over telecommunications, for a while now.

Huh. A new metric.

I'm guessing the technical constraints and real estate budget for PRISM back in its all-seeing eyeday, amounted to a EULA update and a six-pack of rack space.

This, but I also prefer to put the blame where it's technically due.

If your "wall" can be bypassed by a mere browser setting, your Projected Revenue box in the bottom-right corner of the quarterly executive spreadsheet just got re-labeled to Tip Jar.

Either fix it, or stop being a whiny bitch with lawsuits. I get tired of enriching lawyers for fucks and lawyers sake. No one took advantage of too much free content. They merely held it wrong. Because you let them.

I'd have to be a pretty bad day in that criminal resort in order to really discourage the behavior.

Registered felon, isn't exactly a standard metric used to restrict executive hiring. Particularly when 21st Century greed damn near demands sociopathic leadership.

So, Three companies good, four is anti-competitive? When T-Mobile bought Sprint, where you for or against that merger?

Just wanting the logic here.

People work after sunset and before sunrise all over the place. Some places are open 24/7. And yet, people manage it just fine. And some places are dark for large portions of the year, and bright for large portions of the year. It's almost like the world is a sphere or something and no two places are the same! Some places are summer at the same time other places have winter. Weird huh?

Why so complicated? Al calendar events should be stored in UTC and any time display should apply the relevant offset when it is displayed to the user.

Jokes on me since I've never used it but I'd always assumed Brave was just strictly an open source project type of thing and that's how it was able to do it's paywall and ad-blocking as nobody was making cash off of it, similar to how emulators have gotten their slice of legality to live in.

A private company scraping past paywalls to present users with their content and sell ads over it... oof, whatever I feel about paywalls or the NYT but man, that feels like just poking a bunch of bears at once.

I do hope this goes to trial though, would be very interesting to hear the defense arguments and discovery is going to be an absolute shitshow with all these companies involved.

The mess was made during WW1 already. I don't think anyone who was the cause of it is still alive.

UTC everywhere, all the time and just be done with Timezones and DST forever!

Why is it even possible for a freezer to heat up to plus anything, nevermind plus 50?

All good! Glad we could clear this confusion this up!

That's kind of exactly my point, I don't think it's healthy for our economy to have business startup and get venture capital on the sole idea of "lets just try and get bought by a larger company". I think that outlook and the venture capital backing it up has led to a lot of negatives. Again I would ask which merger/acquisition has overall been beneficial and to whom and why?

If the idea and the people are good it should be able to get investment on it's own right? It should be able to get into a self sustaining business right? Why couldn't Lumentum just sign a fat licensing agreement with Marvell? The answer is because a buyout snuffs out any competitors from also using it.

If it wasn't apparent for some reason I am talking on a law/policy level. The entire idea of a corporation and the fact they are allowed to buy eachother is built in law and statute. It's not in nature, it's not even in The Constitution. The entire ability to be an S-Corp or a C-Corp or an LLC is due to the fact that we created those things and allow that in our laws so therefore we are allowed to change those laws.

Sadly, I almost see this requirement more born from unscrupulous foodchain suppliers not really telling the public about that "one" time the fridge went down for 10 hours overnight..every other Thursday.

Blaming the accountants for our litigious society, is one hell of a way to get the lawyers to all agree to start charging double. You seem to like not blaming the one entity mandated by law who gets rich all day every day by both attacking and defending the right side, the wrong side, and both sides.
