Good, Apple should wash their hands of the AI bubble so when it comes crashing down they can come out of it clean

Honestly it's better than getting third in group A, you get the gold title and slightly more monies

or they do understand this and will just gun people down at the border

They basically redefined antisemitism as "do you hate israel", actual antisemitism is perfectly fine with them

like before it was obviously awful but it's actively dangerous to you to be on that site now, your well being is at actual danger if they decide to pick you as a target

important note from libcrusher:

Reactivating temporarily to send a warning.
Since I got doxxed, it appears the same doxxing ring has targeted several other users. I learned that they were banned this week, only for Elon to, apparently, personally unban them. I feel obliged to warn everyone about my experience.

It wasn't just my personal information that got published. Someone, somewhere, got my passwords too. For my banking accounts, brokerage accounts, venmo, etc.
Most of which had different and unique passwords. All these attempts started the day i got doxxed, and have sporadically continued since.

If you know anyone who's been doxxed by this group, you need to have them change all their passwords on every website immediately. Ensure 2FA and any other security measures are in place everywhere.
And, wherever possible, document and report it. Frankly, if you're a lefty of any note, do it now too

If anyone was also a victim of this or knows someone who was, there are ways to reach me. I wish I could go into more details right now. But until that time comes, protect yourself.

I will be deactivating in 20 minutes.
Hopefully, that's enough time for the warning to get out.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

i'm always a bit mixed on how to answer such a hypothetical because at this point i kind of believe merely having that much wealth warps your brain in such a way that you become a completely different person

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

Nuclear has massive fixed costs, is very limited in where it can be placed (since you need a Ton of water for it) and can't scale with demand
