Twitter held in contempt, fined $350K over Trump data delay
  • Or make them recurring fines that grow exponentially each time they are issued until the situation is fixed.

    Edit: nvm it sounds like this is exactly what they are doing.

    Wayne Brady Comes Out as Pansexual: 'I'm Doing This for Me'
  • I’d assume people that are bi are attracted to biological males and biological females, but not necessarily transsexuals or anything else on the sexuality/gender spectrum.

    Hackers manage to unlock Tesla software-locked features worth up to $15,000
  • It’s not my analogy, but it does make sense if you even remotely think about it. The downside is that my car carries extra weight in the form of this additional hardware. Teslas are heavy enough as-is with their giant batteries, I’d rather remove any and all unnecessary weight for the sake of my tire tread life (and battery life). Also depending on exactly what the hardware is, it can be an additional point of failure that could potentially cause things that I do have access to to break. Lastly, it’s fair to assume that the price of the car would be cheaper if Tesla didn’t have to install this hardware into every car even if it will never be used, so you are likely already paying for this in “hidden” costs that are just rolled into the total price of the car before even paying to enable the features.

    A 46,000-year-old worm found in Siberian permafrost was brought back to life, and started having babies
  • Interesting, thanks for the fun fact! My kid is absolutely obsessed with learning all things about animals so I’m keeping stuff like this on deck for when he’s a little bit older and can understand. I’ve learned more about animals in the last year watching videos with him than all through school, which is equal parts sad and awesome.

  • I just wish it had an epilogue where it covered some details on things that happened back on earth while the main character was away.

    Update: The hottest 21 days ever recorded were the last 3 weeks
  • The guy I replied to said he didn’t want to die from overheating since he doesn’t have AC.

    I replied and said that they make affordable and easy to install AC now as a direct and immediate solution to his issue of not wanting to die from overheating due to not having AC.

    You come along and say this is a bandaid solution and makes things worse. Okay sure, that’s true for society as a whole on a large enough timeline, but not true for this individual person in the near future.

    So I interpreted this as you saying you wouldn’t install AC in his shoes, but also don’t appear to have an alternative course of action in order to not overheat and die due to not having AC, therefore you’d be the first to die.

  • They make air conditioners that are relatively cheap, pretty easy to install and take up virtually no space these days. Usually wall mounted.

  • There would be challenges, but again, the scenario we are discussing is a world where we literally can’t grow food in the surrounding land.

  • I mean, in the scenario described where we literally can’t grow food in the surrounding land, it’s hard to say what the political landscape or legal institutions even looks like at that point.
