    Nobody? You could say Zuckerberg and Jack but if it hadn’t been them it would have been someone else.

    Yep, because the ramp was slick. Would be nice to have some unbiased news sources.

    @jon-nyc said in Meanwhile, in New York: Hydroelectric power. Cheap AF. If you're in a place that can take advantage of it. I imagine Minot, ND is not one of those places.

    @jon-nyc said in Good thing it’s not a cult: The constant representations of him as svelte and even strong really contain a confession, if you think about it. It's amazing the conclusions one can reach, if one only thinks about it. The human mind, given the chance to think, is a near perfect truth seeking device, especially when thinking about the out group.

    I would wait for further verification; can't just take reports from China's state media on face value.

    @Jolly said in Winning The Chip War: Export controls? Isn't that somewhat similar to an export tariff? No, “export tariff” means you can legally export something as long as you are willing to pay the government extra money to do so. “Export control” further includes limitations like “you cannot legally export at all” or “you can only legally export up to certain quota” regardless of how much extra money you are willing to pay the the government. It a difference between a “tax” and a “prohibition” or a “quota.”

    It’s not about climate change, it’s about regulatory boards in various states. We already discussed the California issue in multiple threads.

    I’m not surprised, if you pick the right homeless, as they did: And people with severe mental health or substance use issues were screened out of the initiative. Even still, I’d like to see a follow-up of the money spent not based on “self-reporting” But I’m not sure how you take that south of the border.

    Didn't think this was a transgender thread, but don't let me interrupt your fantasy.
