@rrapio @aral @noybeu At best, your data is forever "marked for deletion" and at the mercy of at least a dozen internal systems being administered well and in good faith for it to all eventually disappear.

@arstechnica What if science wasn't subject to being vibe checked by the dumbest people on Earth?

@nixCraft Autonomy.

It does what I tell it to do.
When it breaks, I broke it.
When it works, I fixed it.

@arstechnica No, because I don't tolerate this shit.

You're on board with saving the world or you're evil.

Nobody is anti-environment because of lack of information, they're just cowards who can't face consequences for their actions.

@arstechnica Because the rich assholes buying Teslas will still be rich assholes after the tax but the working class people who can't afford a Tesla will just skip buying a car at all or go for something much cheaper.

Keeping his prices high has restricted his clientele to only people who talk shit about taxes but for whom they don't have any material impact.

@eff No. He's working in service to an admin that fully intends to establish an American Gestapo and is not working for the people.

We can put this fantasy to rest.

@arstechnica How soon before poor people are banned from crypto morning and it becomes the exclusive purview of the global oligarchs?

@eff You should have been able to leave off at "judges should enforce rules" but we all know better by now.

@arstechnica After the radiation ruined her teeth, my mom got told by the insurance that she needed to have them pulled and then come back for implants.

Then after she had them pulled, they said the implant had to be done in the same visit and sold her dentures.

@arstechnica That's why they are implemented the way they are, this was intentionally designed to favor garbage people and garbage memes.

@arstechnica
Indentured servants in space is what's next. Poison the Earth with a continuous rain of Starlink paraphernalia and force everyone to leave under contract for Mars.

@arstechnica Locking phones to a network never served users. It was only ever intended to help the carriers raise the barriers against free consumer choice.

It should never have been allowed to begin with.

@nixCraft Even if he did build a new baby AGI, why would it be any better at answering this question than the millions of humans taking a stab at the same problem?

It's not *inherently* smarter than humans even if it were real.

@arstechnica Just in time to rescue Trump's campaign, Facebook suddenly wants to remove all barriers to disinformation campaigns.

Sounds about right.

@nixCraft At this point I'm pretty sure that if all these beaches were correlated together that they already have everything on everyone. The only thing keeping that from happening is the high prices they charge each other for the data.

None of the "confirm your date of birth and address" challenges at the pharmacy or doctor's offices make any difference, that's for damn sure.

@arstechnica Because ads are evil and Reddit used to respect users who told them so.

That's over and so should be reddit.

@arstechnica When did we arrive at the place where the "invisible hand" is obligated to do what anybody says?

@arstechnica What does a CEO do if he's not controlling the company? What do they pay him for exactly?

@itsfoss Corporates: What? I paid for part of the last tire replacement so I get to use it any way I see fit!

@arstechnica Maybe Takata shouldn't be making *all* the airbags?
