You create a great story but violates K.i.S.S.

• not saying they got in means they can’t use it as evidence. Sometimes there’s still due process
• even if they can get into lockdown mode, it’s clearly harder than not lockdown. Why conspire to make it harder?

Realistically, not only do I not want an 8k tv, but I might not get a tv at all, if I had to do it today. We rarely watch tv anymore. The brainrot is the same but we’re much more likely to use individual screens

I want a dumb tv with the price and and specs of a smart tv. Less is more

If you have a concern different from the thread, please start another post.

Yes the biggest pilot customer used it to haul lightweight snack items but als yes the claimed fully loaded to the legal limit tests

And an ai company with no ai product

I don’t see how. This is just a continuation of what he was already doing, facilitated by a board of his friends and relatives.

Even worse I have to say I’m not totally against it. All too often ceos get excessive pay regardless of their results. While I haven’t looked in detail not at the history, the claim is these are only for Tesla meeting some extremely ambitious milestones and the payment is stock. Certainly his previous ridiculous allay was in stock and Tesla had some extraordinary growth. If the stock doesn’t go up, then he should never receive that wealth

If it’s truly contingent on the company growth and the board doesn’t throw him a life preserver, that’s not entirely bad. Excessive yes. Extremely excessive. Excessively excessive. But more execs need to have their wealth gated on actual results

Probably, but we also need to take every chance to reduce unnecessary plastic in the environment

Seems like the headline and article itself are missing the main point

printer cartridges that can’t be refilled or that don’t have a take-back program offered by the vendor.

It may be barely mentioned but I read this are requiring a program to take back cartridges

Damn, that’s like “milk toast “. My dad used to make that but looking back it’s likely from lean times on the farm when he was a kid…… put some milk on the stove, briefly dip slices of bread, then serve with a giant pat of butter. Also clearly influenced by the farm he grew up on being a dairy farm

Sort of related, but I recommended against my teen getting a Mac laptop for college because it is different and he wasn’t familiar with it. While that’s not obstacle for us techies, it seems to be for normies. However he has had no issues.

In case that extrapolates to Linux …. A different UI, different paradigms, aren’t necessarily an obstacle to normies

We’re forming a squad! Almost a team!

It was a gift, over 20 years ago. I married her

BRO!

To take myself as an example ….

• all smart home stuff is arguably a gimmick. None of it is necessary, but for some of us it can add value or interest.
• the resolution is plenty for many applications
• I always liked the idea of a moving ticker for status or info, like the stock ticker. I assume this could
• I always wanted a clock large enough to read without my glasses, without all the crap on the cheap ones, or maybe configurable to my choice of crap
• I’m gradually putting together a house status alert system, and this is so much more expressive than the colored LEDs I’m looking at so far
• this is so much more interesting, more of a statement than a simple screen
• it’s local. We’re not locked into some god awful vendor portal
• someone was creative, had an idea, packaged it nicely, and offered it to the world. I want to support that, encourage more of it

I’m not sure if I’ll get one but it’s definitely tempting

Oh man, they got me dead to rights. I’m not the biggest fan of basketball or cnn but everything else. The only match on the other side is I do like going to a couple major league games every summer

Not realistic. Taxis barely exist in small towns and rural areas. You might try to claim that ride shares could respond to actual usage and they do in urban areas, but the one time my kid tried that it was a 2 hour wait. Also not realistic

Adequate transportation is a need for anyone living independently, and yes we share expenses for common resources including needs that don’t serve us personally. If my contribution can go toward a physics lab that only serves a subset group of students it can also go toward parking that serves a subset of students

My taxes and tuition are paying for literally billions of dollars for stuff at my states public university system that I never use. It’s a great investment giving us one of the best education systems in the country.

No one said parking is the only solution. Buses work decently even at everyone else’s expense, but if you’ll read my responses you should see I advocate for going further, even at everyone else’s expense: many universities are even better served by trains. There’s a difference between advocating only one solution vs advocating for one solution that works now vs one you hope eventually works. And both are far better than just depriving a subset of people of basic transportation

That may be fair in an urban environment where there is little space and there is transit or walkability, but you can’t just wish it into existence by making a few lives harder.

In particular, many universities in the US are in small town or urban areas. They’re great at not requiring cars to get around campus. But students should also have a way to leave campus or even travel, or have a choice to commute from cheaper or better housing. It’s not a prison and they don’t control their surroundings

You’re assuming that’s a realistic option. I’d also prefer it, but in the meantime we have to deal with reality.

Note: I live near Boston, and we have decent train service to many urban universities. It’s a great model that we should expand on, but not every school is located in a major city with transit

My taxes and tuition are paying for literally billions of dollars for stuff at my states public university system that I never use. It’s a great investment giving us one of the best education systems in the country.

The picture doesn’t say where they are but my youngest is at university in a rural area about two hours drive away. They have plenty of land for parking and it’s tough to get anywhere off campus without a car. More importantly I need to take a full day off work to drive him back after break, when he could get himself there if there was a spot to park

Historically train service existed, so there’s hope, but restoring service lost even the funding to study and plan with the current policy chaos, and would have been far in the future anyway.

Instead my kid abit crazy - literal ten mile hike to get to a wilderness area where he can hike. What other parent has a kid walking 20+ miles, after going to class all day?
