@XFreeze The conspiracy theorist in me says that the insurance companies don’t want these kinds of safe cars on the road because they wouldn’t be able to overcharge our premiums and make a huge killing on profits

People completely miss the most important thing about Tesla FSD It’s not just about convenience. It’s not a "cool self-parking trick." It’s about the fact that car crashes are the #1 killer of healthy people aged 5-29 globally and one company has gathered over 10 billion miles of real-world data to actually solve it Look at the recent data: Tesla just became the FIRST vehicle to pass NHTSA's new ADAS safety tests. Not the first EV. The first vehicle. Period. The reality is harsh but simple. Countries that approve FSD get safer roads overnight. Countries that delay will literally watch their citizens die in preventable crashes while bureaucrats sit in meeting rooms debating "safety." The "safety" argument against FSD is officially dead

@LexsWorld @jedwhitley @DocStrangelove2 Cell phone tracking data and movement before and after the incident. It’ll be obvious someone is lingering then stops during the event while it’s pinging off the towers.

@jedwhitley @DocStrangelove2 Really? But...how would he 'track' this person down? I mean, it's not rocket science to work out the location...and if you get SUPER lucky get a blurry nighttime intersection camera shot of the shape of the person doing it...but then what?

Anyone who thinks this is harmless does not realize how exactly far the FAA will go to find you and bury you

@PalmerLuckey I watched a documentary on this and it was set at the time. I believe the CEO of Nintendo set up a requirement that all games produced for the Nintendo 64 had to be 3-D no exceptions.

One of the real bummers of the N64 software library is that despite being extraordinarily capable as a 2D system, almost all of the effort went into 3D games. Makes sense, that was the shiny new selling point, but the hardware is capable of so much as a sort of Super-SNES.

@metaspaceperson @Winter_Six If you think of the answer you will realize china isn’t paying tolls but exchanging weapons systems with Iran for passage of tankers and oil.

@Winter_Six Why would China want to escalate? Why would China want Iran to toll shipping? Why would China want a powerful hegemony restricting access to world markets for Irans benefit? None of these serve or are aligned with Chinese interests.

The exact opposite will happen because Chinese warships aren't nuclear powered. They need refuelling like everyone else's. In January, Russia sent a warship to meet an oil ship coming north from Venezuela. The US caught up and seized it while Russia watched.

@teal_andrew Easy so VEVOR can clone it and sell it for $200

Pretty much a staple in every repair shop n truck stop I can remember. No idea they were this expensive.

@KOU_game_fan @ponimoe @unamuhiduki Does that kid have….a tail?!?

@ponimoe @unamuhiduki その漫画はちょっとわからないですが、 ファミコンの解説漫画は入ってましたね笑

メルカリでファミコン本体の箱のみを買った。 取引メッセージで、 「当時のファミコン専用の箱に入れて発送します」って言われて届いたらこれでした！ 本体の箱よりこっちの方が貴重やん！😂

@Peet281J @KentGarrison That’s why you have a beefy surge protector to protect your $7.5k tv. It’ll take the hit not your tv.

@KentGarrison I paid $7500 for a 43” Pioneer Elite plasma in 2004. 2 years later a tree outside my house got hit by lightning. Woke up, tv was dead. Shop couldn’t confirm it was from lightning. Insurance wouldn’t pay. Bought a Samsung for $3000.

Shoutout to all the dads that paid five grand for this in 2004

@TheGoldenDays Recording in Reader Rabbit

what did we even use this for?

@lymanstoneky Perhaps this is El Dorado the lost city of gold?

i thought this was a conspiracy thing but no access really is forbidden because the area has a bunch of uncontacted tribes they don't want to disturb zero documented ascents

@Nick_Delehanty Squeeze Europe enough and they will be forced to join the war. USA holds all the energy cards.

Tankers carrying diesel to Europe have changed course. Several tankers carrying diesel from the US to Europe have changed course mid-Atlantic. The Aliai, Minerva Vaso and Grand Ace6 all loaded in the US and were initially bound for Europe, with destinations including Amsterdam and Gibraltar. Their routes have since shifted. The Grand Ace6 is now signaling Lomé in Togo, while the Minerva Vaso is listed “for orders,” indicating no fixed destination as traders wait for better pricing. The Aliai has also diverted southeast, away from its original European route. The Atlantic is now a “floating market. Europe diesel shortages will cause collapse of industry.

@0xlelouch_ How does one find those trusted people faster?

As a software engineer, you see this very clearly once you switch jobs a few times. A lot of relationships at work are not really loyalty. They are alignment. Your manager supports you till budgets get cut. Your company calls you critical till a reorg happens. Your teammate acts close till promotion, rating, or ownership starts overlapping. I do not even say this in a negative way. This is just how incentives work. That is why engineers need to stop being shocked when people switch sides. When stakes rise, people protect salary, title, visibility, and survival first. So build your career with open eyes: Be good to people, but do not be naive. Help your team, but keep your own skills sharp. Document your work. Own visible projects. Keep your network warm. Save cash. Interview occasionally. And most importantly, remember who backed you when it was inconvenient for them to do so. In every job switch, layoff season, bad review cycle, or political mess at work, a few people will reveal their true nature. Some will disappear. Some will protect themselves. A very few will stand by you. Those are the people worth respecting, helping, and keeping in your corner for life.

@Atomic_Ferret @AkkadSecretary States rights. They have the right to charge you more for fuel via fuel taxes and specific gasoline mixtures.

Californian checking in. Our gas has gone up abt $2.00/gallon and climbing. Diesel is over $7.00/gallon. We are pretty much in the same boat as Australia, NZ and Europe, just a little behind the curve. CA might as well be its own nation. We are banned from using gas from the other 49 states and are actively shutting down our extraction and refining. As such, a lot of our gasoline comes from the same place as Australia/NZ. (Mostly South Korea).

In Thailand fuel is being rationed Australia is fucked Europe is ~$11 a gallon Meanwhile in Florida its $3.9 or £0.77 a liter. Americans simply are not feeling the real effects of this war, most you get is a grumble about price whilst the rest of the world dies.

@stockxsucks @andruyeung Looks like Uber trying to kill off the competition with large amounts of cash they have.

@andruyeung Empowers been around forever now. It’s cheap but the UI absolutely sucks. Uber One is running a “surge price protection promo and all my rides on there have been cheaper than Empower recently. same route just now on empower vs uber w promo

My new favorite NYC life hack: take Ubers for ~50% of the price It’s called Empower I took a car from Manhattan to Newark during peak time. It cost $61 (usually >$120) What’s the catch? I looked into it: Drivers pay a monthly subscription fee to be listed on the app. In return empower takes no cut (vs 30% from Uber) Drives set their own prices So legally they are not a ride share biz but a marketplace Founder is a lawyer who interned at the White House. He figured this out! P.s. this is NOT a paid promo. Just had a great experience that is all.

@colinushkowitz Give them simple but immediate deadlines for small tasks and see if they’re able to hit them. If they’re not then they won’t be able to perform on the larger projects that have longer tails.

About to make my first in office hire (besides our army of VAs). Want someone entrepreneurial who wants to build WITH us, not just collect a check. For those who’ve done this: What are the biggest hiring mistakes to avoid? This will be part time into full time hopefully.

@TeamTrump47 Why don’t the Mexican authorities have air support and blow these guys to bits?

🚨GUNS OUT🚨 🚨🇲🇽 Fighting erupts in La Desembocada, Jalisco, between CJNG and Mexican authorities. Praying for the good guys!

@_kentw This is easily solved for by having soft-closing door option on their cars or motorized doors like on the Escalade or Teslas

Waymo hiring DoorDash drivers to close car doors in Atlanta (Spotted on Reddit) Really putting the "Door" in DoorDash

@irentdumpsters @LoganHaskett Chas Roberts AC company does this in AZ on new builds.

My man @LoganHaskett just told me something brilliant. His HVAC company puts custom nameplates on every thermostat they install When someone's AC breaks, first thing they do? Check the thermostat His company sticker is right there staring at them He gets paid $60 through a utility rebate to install free thermostats. And slaps his branding on every single one. That's not marketing. That's fucking genius.

@Om_Codes_ Buy a cheap spare Chromebook for like $150. Cheap peace of mind.

This Windows bug is seriously unacceptable. Last year, I had an exam scheduled at 9 AM. At 8 AM, my laptop’s Wi-Fi suddenly disappeared. No networks. No error message. Just gone. I tried everything: - Restarted the system - Ran Windows network - troubleshooting - Tried different fixes from Windows resolver - Reinstalled the Wi-Fi driver - Reset network settings - At one point, I genuinely thought it was a hardware issue and even banged the laptop out of frustration. After 2 hours, the Wi-Fi came back ..probably after reinstalling drivers or some reset. Of course, this happened after the exam time. I ended up completing the exam on my phone. Luckily, it was only an internal exam. But imagine if this had been a job interview or a coding assessment. Months of preparation ruined because an operating system decided to fail at the worst possible moment. System reliability shouldn’t be a gamble when real opportunities are on the line.

@JobsonGrowthe1 @MilfeulleSakura @VideoCardz That’s exactly the issue I have burn in on the red pixels for my 2016 OLED C6

@MilfeulleSakura @VideoCardz Yes they changed the red subpixel in 2017 then again 2018 to fix the issues with the 2016 models.

@joshpuckett The age of empires 1 installer has workers building as a progress indicator of the installer. That’s a good place to start for inspiration

ok which one of you is ready to make an Age of Empires 2 like interface for Claude Code and make a billion dollars??
