Hear hear!

It’s time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

This community desperately needs some better moderation…

I hate to break it to you, but our meat brains don’t even have continuity of consciousness. We become unconscious all the time. The only real constant is the “hardware” our consciousness emerges from, but even that is always changing.

Really? Back in the day even Charon took his cut.

It will certainly be gratuitous…

That’s for courts to decide ignore, peasant!

In scientific terms? An absolute fuck-ton of football fields.

In very next line, it says the distance is 4.37 lightyears away… which is also wrong, lol

For anyone wondering, the actual correct answer is about 4.25 lightyears or about 40 trillion kilometers.

Doctor Becky is awesome as well!

Also PBS Spacetime if you’re looking for something with a higher production value and that dips more into the theoretical side of things.

Anton is the GOAT if you’re into space. He basically spends all his time reading recent scientific papers and then summarizes them for a general audience without exaggerating or editorializing like you see with most other science reporting.

He’s perfect for anyone with a deep love of science who wants to keep up with the very latest developments but doesn’t have the time to keep up with the ‘literature’.

While massive energy usage means a substantial environmental impact for these tech giants, it should be noted that Google and Microsoft also generate more money than many countries. Furthermore, companies like Intel, Google, and Microsoft lead renewable energy adoption within the industry.

So fucking what? That’s like excusing a mass-murderer because he’s rich and he promised to “not kill quite as many people in the future.”

What a useless and pandering thing to say.

Geriatric vs. felon may seem tame in the years to come!?

Technically, geriatric vs geriatric felon

Right? I guess all the good names where already taken

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Stallman, is in fact, GNU/Stallman, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stallman. Stallman is not a man unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

I think in the end it all comes down to putting power back into the hands of regulators — power that corporate America has been slowly and steadily eroding for the last 40 years.

A more powerful regulatory state could start enforcing the anti-trust laws we already have on the books by breaking up the massive tech monopolies. Once that’s done, new regulations and new legislation against anti-consumer practices are needed, but those will only work if the punishments scale high enough to work as an actual deterrent against the multi-billion dollar tech giants.

Of course, we’d also need massive, MASSIVE campaign finance and lobbying reforms so that monied interested aren’t able to sabotage the system all over again.

Or we could just bring back the guillotine… that would probably do the trick too.

Sure, because he’s been paid in stock options. It’s not like the guy has been working for free.

Then why is he asking shareholders to approve a $56 billion personal pay package? Seems kinda steep for a guy who isn’t really present…

Elon Musk, the CEO of company, has next to nothing to do with Tesla?

Is this why Elon is working so hard to run Tesla into the ground? 5d chess, something something…
