  • Elon Musk is set to take the stand in a trial over claims he deflated Twitter stock before purchase

    Jump

  • I don't have the most fantastic memory, but as I recall the stock went up very high after he said he was going to buy it the first time, and stayed higher than it was before he said anything by quite a bit up through his purchase.

  • College used to be optional. Most people didn't go, you went there because you wanted to learn, or you wanted to go into a particular field that required higher knowledge.

    Now, college is just a paywall that gets in the way of having a normal job that can pay you an ok amount of money if you're lucky. This is especially true now for when it comes to the prerequisites. Kids aren't there for knowledge. It's so they can get a job. No one cares about those college level English courses being forced on them when they're going to end up as middle management at an insurance agency. Especially now, when their PC will tell them their grammar sucks before they send out that email.

  • BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace

    Jump

  • If it has to be forced, then it probably isn't a good idea.

    We're only just now. Like this year just now, seeing batteries that can be made much cheaper and last much longer (sodium ion) and batteries that will last the actual lifetime of a vehicle (solid state lithiums, allegedly). The cars the past 5 years that have had LifePO4 batts will last decently long. Up until now you've been looking at EV's that cost more, with batteries that will go bad in them that cost huge amounts of money to replace. A 10 year old Tesla with 200,000 miles on it is essentially garbage. No one will pay much for it because it's about to need a $15,000 battery, and when it fails it's going to the junk yard. My little ice car has nearly 300,000 miles on it and is old enough to vote. If the engine blows up I could buy a working used one for like $500 and install it myself, or pay somebody else a couple grand to deal with it all for me.

    Passenger cars aren't the end all be all to global warming or the environment, either. They aren't the main cause. Most countries grid systems couldn't handle a complete EV swap by 2035. Look at the issues these stupid ai server farms are causing grid systems.

    My point is, no one should need to force ev. At this point it will become the better and obvious choice over ice on its own. It isn't there yet for tons of people or countries.

  • Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS

  • Like I said, valve hasn't released the PC version of steam OS, yet. So that makes it kind of hard to criticize. Using it on my steam deck seems like it would be just fine as a simple Linux desktop. It all navigates and works. There's just nothing flashy about it. Dunno what all you do with your desktop. I just need mine to navigate around and run programs.

  • Mint, or possibly bazzite if you're a gamer, because that's the Linux distro Gamers Nexus picked to test performance on.

    Or, valves steam os should have a fleshed out PC version very soon.

  • Yeah..... It says just that in the article. You did read the article, right? I mean you didn't just read the title and then rush in here to make a comment?

  • ‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing

    Jump

  • I can see incompetence, some sort of missile failure, or Iranian defense having something to do with it. There's no purposeful reason to intentionally hit a single grade school. At least not from the US. It would be counter to anything Trumpet would want. I could only see it as an open possibility from Israel if they wanted to intentionally prolong the war in order to slaughter Iranians by enraging them to make them not want to turn against their current government as much.

  • The rules

    Jump

  • Not anymore. Trump's rating got too bad, so Gallup stopped doing them.

  • ‘The most bitter news’: Iran reels as more than 80 children reportedly killed in school bombing

    Jump

  • The school wasn't targeted, dum dum. There was a military building very close to the school and despite what you see in the movies, most missiles launched in wars aren't all that perfect at hitting their intended target.

    I'm not defending Trump or Israel or the strikes. I'm just defending against the ignorance if you spreading misinformation that wouldn't even make sense to do intentionally to begin with. Trump regime wanted to make sure Israel struck first because they thought it would look better that way to US voters. You think he intentionally wanted the flak from bombing a grade school?

  • Bipartisan bill aims to block big investors from buying single-family homes

    Jump

  • Because that's plenty to not be a large scale leach. It's quite a few cheaper homes, but not a lot in places like San Francisco, and despite the massive amount of hate for all landlords, people do sometimes need to rent homes instead of own them. People who plan to move, for families that go around in contracted jobs that spend a year or so in one city, etc.

  • President Donald Trump bans Anthropic from use in government systems

    Jump

  • The funniest and dumbest part of this is how he doesn't want the "radical left AI making military decisions..... When what he was pissed about is the denial of anthropic in making the final military decision to launch missiles and fire weapons to kill.

    So he's pissed at what was allowed, and he's pissed at what wasn't allowed?

  • Bipartisan bill aims to block big investors from buying single-family homes

    Jump

  • My answer wouldn't make any sense as a response to the $5,000,000 though. So regardless of the ambiguity to which number I was referring to in the same paragraph, anyone with a small semblance of reasoning would be able to work out that I must have been referring to the former $ and not the latter. This would be even more enforced had the actual article been read.

  • Bipartisan bill aims to block big investors from buying single-family homes

    Jump

  • Where are you thinking from my statement; that has two wildly different numbers in it for a monetary amount is leading you to think the 400 houses was in reference to the impossibly small amount of money for that many houses, and not the much larger amount of money that makes perfect sense to buy 400 houses with?

  • Bipartisan bill aims to block big investors from buying single-family homes

    Jump

  • Y'all not read the article or something? The bill is for anyone over $150,000,000. I'm saying it should be more like 5,000,000, because no entity should get to own like 400 houses? There was never any ambiguity to my statement about thinking I was speaking of the $5,000,000 owning 400 houses unless you were a damned idiot at math.

  • Only for over $150,000,000 companies? How about $5,000,000? No one should get to own 400 homes, either!
