Elon Musk seen as working counter to U.S. interests in dealings with Russia, China

Jump

  • A proud American who takes money from the US military to provide Starlink service to the military in Ukraine and then deliberately defeats US military interests there when it comes to the pinch. There's a word for that - a couple actually. Traitor. Treasonous.

    • Companies that obtain and sell your user information should have to pay you royalties. Agree or disagree?

    Jump

  • And I should get to set the price since it's my data in the first place.

    • Oh no starlink bad

    Jump

  • He literally was paid a shit-ton of money by the pentagon to provide service to the Ukranian military. He took the money. And then he's like, "how could I have known they'd use it in WAR?"

    It's pretty obvious he got paid by the Russians to sabotage that operation. Which makes him an enemy agent against the US I guess since he sabotaged a military asset the US paid for.

    • Hundreds of Aboriginal children likely buried in unmarked graves at three WA missions

    Jump

  • Christians: Thou shalt not kill

    Also Christians: Let's mass murder a bunch of kids

    • Why shouldn’t firearm manufacturers be held accountable for the use of their weapons in crimes?

    Jump

  • A firearm is a device with limited applicability. Its one purpose is to harm things.

    If it was designed to unscrew things then it'd be a screwdriver. But it's not. It's a gun. It's for shooting things dead. It's one purpose is patently obvious and any attempt to say "but you don't have to shoot things with it" should be met with the derision it deserves.

    • Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks?

    Jump

  • But since smart locks generally also have a traditional mechanical mechanism for backup, aren't they inherently always less secure than a traditional lock since you can find the weakest link in either of the two mechanisms?

    • Would the internet be significantly faster if there wasn't so much farming of metadata / cookies?

    Jump

  • Run ublock origin and turn off all the ads and trackers. Then you can see for yourself how much faster it is.

    The answer is... it depends on the page but in some cases a lot, in other cases not much.

    • I Did a Thing - I made your horrible video ideas

    Jump

  • It's literally described in the video as "the Simpson's make-up gun".

    • Giant Spider Has Been Australian Family's Guest For 1 Year

    Jump

  • This isn't particularly unusual. Huntsmans are pretty friendly and quite a lot of people happily co-habit with them. I've known a couple of people who had friendly huntsmans in their cars for instance. I didn't like the time one of them dropped in my lap while we were driving though.

    • Ideas for programming rizz?

    Jump

  • Like the Apple Lisa for example. Named after his daughter.

    • New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns

    Jump

  • The law says yes

    • Oscilloscope Watch Ships After 10 Years on Kickstarter

    Jump

  • It's using ten year old microcontroller technology too. And ten year old 3d printing technology.

    I guess that's what you get when your kickstarter takes ten years to deliver.

    • ‘TRUMP WON!’ Proud Boy Who Told Judge He Was ‘Changed Man’ Raises Fist and Shouts MAGA Slogan On Way to 10-Year Prison Sentence

    Jump

  • Surely that adds perjury to his crimes at least.

    • New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns

    Jump

  • Breaking federal laws doesn't sound like a good way to do anything but go straight to federal prison. The FAA laws on shooting down aircraft are pretty serious.

    • Billionaire Charlie Munger says that in order to feel happy, we need to expect less and that the world is going to get tougher.

    Jump

  • Rich guys says: suck it up, poors!

    • Microsoft is using malware-like pop-ups in Windows 11 to get people to ditch Google

    Jump

  • When does it stop being "malware-like" and end up being just malware?

    • Donald Trump vows to lock up political enemies if he returns to White House

    Jump

  • I'd love to see them revoke his bail and imprison him for this.

    • Donald Trump vows to lock up political enemies if he returns to White House

    Jump

  • And making the US an international laughing stock any time he spoke.

    • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

    Jump

  • No, that's not it. Ultimately a mix of renewables will replace everything. Add say tidal and pumped hydro plus maybe some geothermal etc. and you don't need any non-renewable energy sources.

    • Young climate activist tells Greenpeace to drop ‘old-fashioned’ anti-nuclear stance

    Jump

  • It's just a temporary measure while we transition to 100% renewables. You can see from the numbers that it's dropping year by year as new renewables are brought on.
