What specifically do you think Elon has said which is hypocritical?

Defense/military is one of the few government functions that libertarians endorse as totally necessary. To many, it's the only legitimate government function. I don't think you've thought about this very hard.

HN will make snarky comments about doing no evil and avoid reading the part where the NLRB forced their hand by classifying worker protection of subcontractors as de-facto employee status. Good job NLRB.

What you are describing would be ineffective and also more than $1k/mo, the list price of Ozempic.

Store bought blueberries are fine. Frozen blueberries are fine. It's food, worry about things that matter.

They could have spent the time they used building this website building 1 actual mile of high-speed rail.

It's the right direction of course but the concurrent release with Harvard sort of opens them up to antitrust probe tbh. Clearly the admission offices are all synchronizing policy in backchannels (or frontchannels).

Are you really trying to blame obesity on doctors? Impressive.

I don't think you understand how stupid and googleable most customer support questions are. Doctors will have more time for real questions if they aren't answering idiotic questions. You are living in a bubble.

It's more about wage garnishment (easy) vs asset seizure (hard).

I buy this for Yosemite but let's be real, if I'm going to Yellowstone I'm taking my toddlers to see the geysers, not on a 20 mile in-and-out hike up a mountain.

It's not pure chance. It was a plane error, but trained pilots following procedure would have responded appropriately and avoided a crash. In response to a plane malfunction, the pilots panicked, did the wrong thing, and everyone die

Look this sounds really good on the internet, but this is disconnected from reality. The kids chronically truant are POOR and have no structural support at home. They are not depressed upper-middle-class-kids. The more-informed (albeit mi

Even if, worst case, 3 people had been sitting there and died (and people are tougher than seats), it would only move needle trivially vs cars.

> It's worth reading, perhaps unless you're going to be flying on a Boeing plane anytime soon. This is all bad for Boeing, but at the end of the day, nobody has died on an American carrier in a Boeing plane in a very long time.

Personally I've ready about the case elsewhere so I have the context. Others have subscriptions. Others use archive sites.

That's the wrong metric. It should be obvious that the US market share of walmart on groceries, merchandise, and health don't conveniently sum to 100%, and that's not how you would present that data. You're looking at

If Walmart had a 60% market share then yes the JD would be on their balls for store brands.

IANAL but it's baffling to me that this one took so long. This has been the clearest-cut abuse of monopoly in tech for a long time. Why did they waste time trying to convince judges that "free" could be monopoly pricing, wh
