It's not copyright, they're claiming x and itter are trademark infringement and that scraping is hacking in Texas. That's legally bullshit even in the US, but SpaceX lawyers not even trying is it's own kind of intimidation.
Ultimately the richest guy in the history of civilization is mad at you, he's a neo-Nazi international pedophile ring conspirator dissociated on ketamine that thinks he's in the Matrix, he has a personal private army deputized as federal Marshalls by the US president, and he owns an intercontinental ballistic missile system that can fire a 10 ton tungsten rod into your country's capitol from orbit and decapitate your entire government. That's not a legal problem it's a mutually assured destruction problem.
They have a scissor lift box truck that the food comes in and then they lift it up to the plane and wheel the carts off. They got JFK's dead body on air force one the same way.
When WFP is legally the same as Democrats they have the same quality control problem but worse, random MAGA guys can show up with $10k and pay somebody to collect enough signatures to legally make themselves the Working Families candidate without the party knowing it's happening until it's too late.
DSA can exist in the form it does because there are no qualifications to be a Democrat, Trump can call himself a Democrat and run in the primary if he wants. Democrats are full of people who "support issues" and then won't do shit if you vote for them.
That's not how DSA works, you can't just identify as DSA, it's an organization with actual discipline and membership criteria. Zohran Mamdani had to do job interviews with a DSA committee to see if he'd be a good mayor before he could be a DSA candidate. And if he starts sucking the DSA can and has kicked politicians out. So for example Graham Planter: positions maybe seemed right, not DSA, wouldn't have gotten through the DSA process. It's a quality control label that's actually backed up by something.
Rand Paul thinks China genetically engineered covid and released it to sap Aryan bodily fluids. But the oriental brainpan is incapable of biochemistry, so he thinks Fauci is the white that did it for them.
Yes because it's a bubble, none of them make real money so it's a waste to actually build them, but you have to fake it to scam investors. On earth the investors will look at land purchases and permits and power contracts and construction, so you have to spend millions of dollars to fake it. You can trade stock back and forth with Nvidia and "order" infinite chips that will never exist but you can't do that for electricians.
In space you just have to already own a vanity project rocket company. You fill out a form with the FCC and get a theoretical permit to launch "up to" 100 quadrillion datacenters into space, and then just point to a windowless factory that might theoretically have the capacity to make datacenter satellites but you can't let them see inside because you have classified defense contracts. Who knows might be a trillion dollars in shareholder value in there, you can't prove there isn't.
One time Elon posted about how he can't be out of touch because his grandmother was poor, and his "mom" immediately replied and agreed with him, but it sounded like she was confusing his dad's mom with her own mom, so everybody assumes Elon was posting as her and fucked it up.
Is that why the DNC chair started hyping up Mamdani last year as soon as he won his primary?
The DNC's actual function is to run the presidential nomination, so right now in a non-presidential year with a Republican president the DNC chair is mostly just a figurehead to hype up the base, and institutional power is with Hakeem Jeffries and the DCCC and Chuck Schumer and the DSCC. That's why you have a pattern of alternating progressive and centrist DNC chairs. When Democrats lose the presidential election they put in Tom Perez or Ken Martin to keep donations coming and tide them over while they're out of power, then once there's a Democratic president they put in Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Jaime Harrison to behead all those who insult Israel.
"DNC" as shorthand for establishment Dems became common back in 2016 when the DNC was very tightly integrated into the Hillary Clinton campaign and was the main conservative power center in the Democratic party. That's not true all the time but the way power works inside the Democratic party is deliberately swampy and confusing to stop you from putting an easy name to the problem.
No hexbear was never federated. They started discussing whether to federate and writing moderation rules, sent them to other admins for input, and .world preemptively put hexbear on their defederation list. .world basically said it was ideological differences, they posted all the parts of the draft hexbear rules where they were explaining that hexbear was communist/anarchist and anti-western, and that was just a self-evident reason to preemptively defederate.
Best theory I've seen is undeveloped foreskin is a birth defect that is a lot more common with inbreeding. Ancient Egypt started doing circumcision in the upper class at a time when their royals were very inbred, so it's like how Europeans all started wearing wigs because France had a bald king.
Most of the noise about that was New York City. NYC doesn't have the kind of tent cities other big US cities do because it lost a lawsuit in the 1980s and is under a court order requiring some minimal funding for homeless shelters. The previous mayor of NYC tried to use the busses as an excuse to get on TV and cry about how much of a crisis it was every day hoping to pressure a judge to cancel the order and let him defund the homeless shelters. That didn't work, and then Mamdani got elected and this is one of those situations where he just turned off the orphan crushing machine and it was immediately fine.
It's dumb but it's an existing 50% discount program he's just increasing the income limit. Probably the best thing about this is drawing attention to the program since most of the people eligible don't know it exists.
Commenters wanted BIS to define “integrated or attached hardware or software” to clarify whether software or hardware attached by a Bluetooth device or USB to a vehicle would be subject to the rule, or if the rule includes only integrated technologies. Per its definitions, this final rule is not limited to integrated technologies.
Carplay is also banned. The rule is fake, it's just pretextual to ban Chinese cars so it will always be stretched to cover any possible Chinese car. The US forced free trade on everybody assuming it would always win, and now that it's losing it's just cheating. It needs to stick some kind of bullshit technicality on the treaty violation so it can abuse WTO procedure to loop this case around through appeals for 30 years before China can get a final ruling against the US.
"Autopilot" is the category that depending on which car you bought and which DLC skins you paid for might contain "Autopilot" cruise control or "Full Self Driving" or "Autosteer" or "Cruise Control" or other shit that do different things and change names whenever the car updates.
Nobody griped about cgi when it was first used. There started to be backlash once the people in charge of making movies all treated cgi as a magic thing they didn't understand that meant they could refuse to give workers any time or money and let the cgi fix it (actually thousands of hours of unpaid labor), and they never had to trust professionals they could just re-do the cgi a million times until they got the kind of generic tasteless slop executives like.
With AI that happened immediately because the executives already knew they wanted this and were waiting for it.
Required in the EU and will be required in the US soon. BYD's big export market is Australia which doesn't require them yet but they're mandatory to get a good crash safety rating.
Renault and a lot of BYDs use Android as the software os, so probably it's Android doing the facial recognition (and also probably the attention eye tracking) and that's onboard.
Renault has a dashcam function that records from the built in cameras, but you have to plug in your own USB drive, so the upside of memory price-fixing is it's probably not worth it for Renault to spend $300 to store the data now.
They put the oil reserves next to the major refineries. The reserves are a cave 1000 feet underground full of liquid that doesn't do anything if you bomb it except maybe burn slowly, the refineries are a billion miles of rusty plumbing in a field that explodes and takes 10 years to fix if you hit it with a rock.

Also crazy how many put out a heavily covered press release like this and then nobody checks back later when nothing happened or they dropped the charges or the government is getting sued.

Some company did a probably clickbait bullshit "experiment" with llms controlling characters in a game world and Grok burned down a lot of buildings.
