During the Obama administration, when solar companies were subsidized, the refrain was that "government was picking winners and losers". But now, there's a cut and dry case of one company getting targeted by the administratio

This was from the official DHS account -- https://xcancel.com/DHSgov/status/2006472108222853298 What do you think they mean by "100 million"?

This is not a political appointment, but if you have mentioned something even mildly negative about a certain person in the past, not only we'll walk you out, we'll probably arrest you!

So hypothetically, a future Dem administration can deport right-leaning visa holders?

There's actually a word for it - jawboning

Don't be naive. There was no jawboning from the previous administration to networks to cancel someone -- especially someone who always made fun of the President. However, this is a a classic example of violation of 1A. (I agree that th

It is fascinating. He lies so much, keeps repeating those lies and somehow people start believing those lies.

If you are ungrounded from the news, don't make smartass comments like "Nobody is going to deport citizens. You seem to have become ungrounded in your reality."

Michael Jordan famously said "Republicans buy sneakers too". This guy doesn't care about any of this and he's still the right guy to steer Tesla in the correct direction? Mind boggling.

Rivian R2 is going to change the game. It's a direct competitor to the best selling Tesla (Y). I have an R1S (as well as a Y) but R1S is such an amazing SUV to drive. Especially in the bad weather.

Of course, it'll give them inside track. This is crony capitalism. When Musk was busy spouting off conspiracies about Biden admin, SpaceX still won a lot of grants. That sort of independence is going to be dead.

The "algorithm" aspect of the platform has improved for me. Here's what I did -- I artificially liked a non-trivial number of posts of topics I liked (say CS theory, systems programming, NFL, Soccer etc). Now the "Discov

That's nice and all if there's independence between congress and exec branch. Exec branch wields total power in this admin and Congress just obeys.

Bluesky's issue is the Discover feed is not good. After a few days of activity, the suggestions are mostly random and nowhere close to the stuff I want. Twitter was very good - it makes sense because the graph is rich.
