  • ‘I voted for none of this!’ Trump-voting comedian unleashes scathing rant

    Jump

  • If they truly feel that they got something different than they voted for, they should remember that they were told a lot of this would happen by one side and told it wouldn't by the other.

    The next time they vote they should remember that and consider more than simply "left bad, right good". But we all know they won't. They will just say "the last guys were bad Republicans, this new group are good republicans" and vote the same way again.

    I've long thought that conservatives are the party of "me". They appeal to selfish desires which is why they are successful. It's like playing the lottery. I didn't win this time but I might next time so I'll keep playing.

  • Judge Finds Tesla Has Failed to Deliver Full Self-Driving, Needs to Issue Refund

  • "Hi, I'd like a coffee please"

    "Sure thing. Here you are sir"

    "this is just hot water"

    "yep but the coffee is definitely coming next year. We are just working out a few kinks. Also careful you don't burn yourself on that, it's a little hotter than we planned"

    "but the sign says best coffee in town"

    "and next year it will be, exciting isn't it? Thank you for shopping at Tesla Coffee"

    Seriously though, any other industry/ceo and it would not have been allowed to happen like this. I'm glad karma is coming back on them.

  • The first American ‘scientific refugees’ arrive in France

  • Yes I did. Your point is simply "but... more money!!!" Ignoring that bigger numbers are not the whole story.

  • It has only been 6 months. The effects of this administration will not appear in tables of budgets and salaries yet. Although in simple terms it will probably still look ok, it is far less attractive.

    Cost of living matters too. From simple things like how much broadband costs (uk: £30 pcm, usa: $78 pcm) to an ambulance ride (uk: free, usa:$2000). The higher salary is an illusion.

    I also note that every company in your list is a tech company. Researchers in other fields are probably not going to be as lucky.

    Buying in instrumentation is also now more expensive due to tariffs so your research budget was effectively cut as well as being actually cut. Scientists with approved grants for equipment have had them revoked. Universities are advising not spending funds to provide contingency funds.

  • To fight Trump's funding freezes, states propose a new gambit: Withholding federal payments

    Jump

  • Is it not simply a matter of contract anyway? The states agree to pay the federal government in exchange for the security and cooperation that the federation brings. If the federal government is no longer holding up it's end of that agreement no matter the reason, why should the States be obligated to remain in that agreement?

  • Judge blocks Trump’s election executive order, siding with Democrats who called it overreach

    Jump

  • Disagree, every ruling the scotus makes that overturns a lesser court judge makes their opposition to established law clearer. If cases went straight to scotus, it would appear that legal opinion was unanimous and not that scotus have a politically motivated agenda.

    What we know so far: Trump and Musk’s spectacular public blowup rocks Washington

    Jump

  • Pretty sure that Musk has realised he alienated his prior fan base by courting this government so publicly and passionately.

    Now he is trying to reclaim his former status by attacking the Trump admin thinking the left will love him for it. Trouble with that is, petulent is not a good look, nor is appearing not to have an allegiance to anything but money. His mask has slipped and that won't be forgotten, he did a nazi salute twice on the international stage ffs. No one is going to see Musk as a champion for the left or the environment again.

    Not only has he screwed Tesla by making them unfashionable, he's now screwed SpaceX by pissing off a major source of income.

    But we are still to believe that the guy is a financial genius and not just lucky, right?

  • Amazon is reportedly training humanoid robots to deliver packages

    Jump

  • Amazon 1 year after launch: Unfortunately, the space needed for robots in the van means that the van has to return to base 5 times more often to reload with the actual packages and the extra weight of robots more than doubles the weight of the van being lugged around in the form of heavy robots. So that's why we are having to charge more for delivery and why it is taking longer for you to get your packages. But at least we can pay fewer salaries.

    [Haaretz] 47% of Israeli Jews believe all inhabitants of the Gaza strip should be killed, 82% support the expulsion of residents of the Gaza Strip, 56% support the expulsion of Arab citizens of Israel

    Jump

  • I find it so hard to believe that an ethnic group who have suffered an attempt at ethnic cleansing - being hunted, tortured and murdered - by the nazis could so quickly forget how that feels and be capable of doing it to another group. I'd imagine that any Jewish survivor of the WW2 concentration camps would be appalled that today Israel is now the one attempting ethnic cleansing.

    ...and yet that is exactly what they are doing. The only difference is their concentration camp is much bigger.

  • To make matters more complicated i believe (but may be wrong) in Japan Tokyo and Osaka have opposite conventions. So it can even come down to the city level.

  • You know it occurs to me that when all you care about is money, you may think that the only motivator people have is money.

    I.e. The only reasons that anybody does anything is for a pay day. That means you either think everyone"like" you must think like you and the only reason they don't say so is because they have been paid (since that would apparently be enough to get you to say the opposite of your beliefs). OR, that they don't have morals (or strength of conviction) and need to be told what to say.

    What is most worrying about that is the implication that a supposedly unbiased journalist can be assumed to be open to publicly say things against their beliefs if the price is right.

  • Disneyland

    Jump

  • All children are different just like adults. There are many adults I could describe as obnoxious, entitled assholes, but that doesn't make me write off all adults. The last thing I would describe my 3 year old daughter as at Disneyland was obnoxious. If anything she was better behaved because she was so happy and realised we had done something nice for her by taking her there. She was spontaneously giving us hugs when there which she doesn't normally do. Sure, she got tired and a little cranky at the end of each day but it was far outweighed by her good behaviour and she was never even close to obnoxious by anyone's standards. Caveat: I am her biggest fan and you can feel free to write off my comments as biased but I expect you to anyway because you exhibit all the signs of prejudice.

    For the record, I did see some kids acting a bit entitled and obnoxious, but I'd say that they were in the minority and it was a fleeting moment as you passed them by so who is to know if you didn't just witness the one instance of bad behaviour in their whole day.

    When you are prejudiced against something though you take on the evidence that reinforces your view and ignore the evidence which contradicts. I expect if you were at disneyland or anywhere else surrounded by children behaving well your mind would not acknowledge that, I.e. You'd simply ignore or not notice well behaved children. But any time there is one child in your vicinity who is not behaving well I bet you do notice and take note and think "See? All children are obnoxious little shits"

    Reasons why you don't have children no.1: you don't like them.

    Reasons why you are obnoxious no 1: you think it is funny or clever to imply you have at least 78 reasons to not have children and in doing so show us that you are fine with judging whole groups on the behaviour of a few of its members.

  • Klarna CEO says AI helped company shrink workforce by 40%

  • It may have helped them shrink the workforce by convincing them to do it, but that does not also mean that it was a positive and permanent action.

  • The problem with choosing your own reality is that when it doesn't bear any resemblance to actual reality, you will inevitably be forced to face up to it at some point.

    Humans generally hate to admit when they are wrong so creating a version of events where you didn't make a mistake is easier.
