  • My motivation is pointing out the glaring hole in your attempt at an argument. WTF does hydrogen have to do with this article? Nothing.

  • Hydrogen cars still have batteries and you know that. At least tell me you've been getting pair for this work, or you're heavily invested in hydrogen and need to pump this hard.

  • That's because you and I aren't complete fools. But when you pay a bunch of celebrities to talk about their apes, coins, and other moronic shit on national and international TV, less aware people tend to be duped. It's a confidence scam, after all.

  • That's it what the lawsuit is about here. It was the fraudulent misrepresentation of the investments that was illegal.

  • He is an asshole, simple as that. He's able to cast a wide enough net that he's able to gain wealth even when investing wrong more than right. He's an example of everything that's wrong in the world right now.

  • That's founder to you! The court says so, so it must be true. I've had to go to court to prove I started the laundry, so it makes sense he had to too. 😆

  • Do it. Go on, do it. A real man would do it.

  • Recent studies show it doesn't work at all, and has likely caused irreparable harm to people whose academics have been judged by all of the services out there. It has finally been admitted that it didn't work and likely won't work.

  • Elderly people, yes. Like I said initially. Swing and a miss.

  • I was hoping it wouldn't be all press release copy pasta from scam battery companies and "AI" grifts. But here we are. I'd prefer it cover actual technology that actually exists, but the odds of that are zero these days.

  • They're literally at the crossroads of technology, and it's going to get much worse as people ignore the reality of that fact.

  • Still blaming government and not uncles, parents, pastors, and family friends. Sounds a lot like projection and obfuscation to me. Trying to throw everyone off their scent...

  • No, I'm pretty sure complete fiction is exactly what it was. Again, confused elderly people vastly outnumbered every other group of people that were eating Tide pods. Meanwhile, every news outlet was talking about it as though it was some epidemic sweeping the world. It was bullshit, sensationalization to get people to click.

  • Now would be a great time for everybody to dust off their VBScript skills and start offering contracting hours to the tens of thousands of companies that rely heavily on it for daily operations. Make yourself a mint porting scripts from 1996 into a modern language, or even PowerShell if you must.

  • The stigma of government affiliated news (here in the US at least) is that it makes the "news" a government mouthpiece. So there's a distinction here between getting grant money from the government and effectively being the government.

    In other countries, like Canada and UK for instance, government media such as CBC and BBC are operated very different to how NPR operates, and they're careful to put up a barrier between the rest of the government and the news agency. We can question how effective that barrier is, but we could also question how US corporate media outlets might allow advertisers to modify stories too. But in any even, what Musk was trying to do was equate NPR to some of the notoriously government run news outlets in the world because he's a liar and a dirtbag.

  • Your definition of "early days" for twitter isn't nearly early enough, because it started out as an SMS repeater. Hashtags, images, and celebrities didn't come for a long, LONG time.

    Either way, it's been pedophiles and nazis since way before Musk. He just perfected the art. Real scumbag stuff.

  • Turns out the whole tide pod thing was complete fiction, and elderly people are the ones eating them a majority of the time according to poison control data. Go figure. Bored middle-aged people on TV trying to tell everyone what idiots the youngs are these days.

  • If a person buys a home in the US and they qualify for a government secured first time buyer's loan at their local bank, would you say that person is living in government housing? They aren't. Likewise, if a person starts a small business, gets a loan from their local bank that is secured by the US small business loans program, is that a government company? Of course not.

    NPR is overwhelmingly supported by donations, trusts, advertising, etc. The government funding is more akin to a local art student getting tuition assistance or a grant of some kind. Which is pretty much the opposite of what Musk's bullshit stunt was attempting to do- paint NPR as an arm of the government. Because all his idiotic new friends think that's how it works and not one of them is curious enough to actually look it up.

  • I'm curious to see what Mozilla will do with the shopping assistant portion. Lots of browser extensions, and potentially even some of the Mozilla sponsors offer these types of features, and if Mozilla just stamps them out all at once by integrating that feature, it might lose them some financial support.

    On the other hand, I do hope they don't start amassing huge amounts of training data from their uses. It would be a real bummer to not have a decent browser option anymore.
