Well, large trucks have 1.3-1.4 accidents per 100 million vehicle miles, vs 1.5-1.6 for passenger cars, so... better than everything else on the road?

Also, maybe if we are a little better at stopping illegal and illiterate drivers that might improve even more.

Is anyone MAKING you work there?

Fucking walk away. Jesus, why is this hard?

Boss: "Do this thing I want"
Employee: "No"
Boss "We will fire you"
Employee "OK" ...I get it leaving a job is scary. But I'm not super-buying that as these are STARTUPS. You haven't been there 5 years or more.

No, what's happening here I suspect is that people are lured into a job that's too good to be true.
If that's the case, and you were hired under a set of understandings and they CHANGE the understandings midstream, then you have an actionable claim. Companies can't change the rules without offering fair compensation.

When 3I Atlas stops and scans easily-accessible data from our rudimentary systems, I'm not sure whether this will scare them away, or cause them to flag us for ASAP removal by the Galactic Authorities.

Why shouldn't American companies ship to vendors like that? What responsibility do they have to 'ensure' their vendors are dealing with it responsibly?

Should they also tell them not to run with scissors or swim after eating?

"Millions of tons of discarded electronics from the United States are being shipped overseas"

Let's be clear: nobody is simply loading up containers with e-waste and blind-shipping them into "Asia" as if unto the void.

1) Someone has e-waste that needs to be disposed.
2) It costs to dispose in the US, so some vendor in Asia is offering to dispose for less than (US costs MINUS shipping costs which are quite low westbound APAC). Or they're even offering to buy it.
3) profit

Blaming - as I think is implied - US vendors for shipping their shit to Asia is like blaming narco-trafficers for 'forcing' their product into the US. The problem here is the PULL not any hypothesized push.

In my experience about fields I know quite well, human reporters and news agencies get it all or partially wrong probably 80% of the time.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending AI in the slightest, just that in 2025 pretty much all news sources are mostly shit.

(lol)

The Kellogg-Briand Pact was an agreement to outlaw war signed on August 27, 1928.

Mabye they could get Francis Fukuyama to draft the document? (https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FThe_End_of_History_and_the_Last_Man)

I doubt this has anything to do with being green, except insofar as it "looks" greener.

More likely this allows them to better gather craptons of model data for their eventually-inevitable self-driving fleet.

BOT account.

I'm trying to understand the narrative here.

I understood from many, many Slashdot posts that Elon Musk and Donald Trump were partners in crime and that SpaceX was Elon's tool for milking the US govt for no-bid contracts. How can NASA open this up to other vendors, doesn't that hurt SpaceX? What's the value of a sinecure if it's so easily ignored?

Snark aside, I welcome competition on this; a thriving PRIVATE space industry in the US will be the only thing that can compete with the power of a dedicated Chinese state (sclerotic risk-averse NASA can't really be relied upon to do so anymore). I do find it rather ironic that the article says SpaceX delays are threatening Artemis, given, well....everything ELSE Artemis-related has been pretty much a mess.

It's funny that's what you read there. Very...insightful. About you, not about the subject.

As we have free public education in this country, and at least in MN there are ample programs to allow low income people to get at least 2yr and many 4yr degrees for basically nothing (as well as whole government offices at the city, county, and state levels with staff to help the un- and underemployed apply for and secure these opportunities) there's nearly no reason these people can't improve their opportunities.

(As much as I think the system is bullshit, a college degree remains universally helpful in landing a decent job.)

While I'd fully agree with you at the tertiary level (college is a fucking scam and has been since at least the mid 1980s), I'm curious how you assert that primary and secondary schooling - which is 90% public in the US, at least - is 'profit driven'?

Wow, fascinating article. Thank you.
Will show my wife who muttered after seeing the umpteenth tiresome post on x "I actually agree that we might reconsider that whole 19th amendment".

Let's pick a nice round 50y as 'modern relevance' instead of a cherry-picked 24y?
In the 27 two year govt cycles we have had over the last 50y (incl current)
House: 15/12 Dem/GOP control
Senate: 14/12 (you can look up the exceptions yourself)
President: 12/15
Unified (one party controls all 3)
As for the Supremes, https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2F... well, that's the result of the 12/15 president bias.
So basically your victim narrative is ALREADY bullshit.

The fact that you don't seem to grasp that the problem with Obamacare (which you're right, was Romneycare before that) is the FEDERAL OVERREACH, not the plan itself, shows your own little Overton window. You don't get to define the frame of the argument.

The liberals ARE responsible for a lot that goes wrong because they insist they have some sort of monopoly on truth, and are certain of their own infallibility.
