All nuclear explosions themselves aren't even going to be statistically detectable.

IIRC from assessments of the US military's carbon footprint, cumulative footprint of nuclear weapons infrastructure is probably significantly less than .1%

There's a hundred other things to worry about first IMO.

That's awful, but it has nothing to do with sideloading or needing locked down phones.

Apparently this idea that security and user control are a trade off has been sold pretty well, and it's bull shit. Nothing about a phone which isn't locked down to the user precludes all the security features you'd want on by default for your mother.

But I doubt you'll catch Apple or Google going out of their way to explain that. They're better off having you believe that the trade off is necessary, and you probably wouldn't miss the freedom anyway.

It's been discussed previously, but pixel devices are chosen for hardware security feature sets. Other devices are either not compatible/open enough to use or a security downgrade.

Cover to do what? Insert malicious code and hope no one else notices? Or coerce everyone in the company to look the other way?

If an intelligence agency wants to compromise a service, they have much more discreet, powerful, and deniable ways to accomplish this.

You're asking me if straight up stealing money from a bank is comparable to stealing books in 2025 to train an AI which will generate untold value for people?

This is not related to public spaces.

So they own fake treasuries?

The law was not broken by "super rich people".

It was broken by a company of people who were not very rich at all and have managed to produce billions in value (not dollars, value) by breaking said laws.

They're not trafficking humans or doing predatory lending, they're building AI.

This is why our judicial system literally handles things on a case by case basis.

How exactly is it a scam now? Did they somehow fake treasury purchases? Can you describe something scam like about their business which doesn't also apply to JP Morgan?

Let's not forget:

No advertising.

I think, particularly now after having the luxury of ad blockers for so long, that many of us are extremely triggered by advertisements and see them more nakedly as the awful propaganda they are.

Disrupting a cinematic experience with garbage propaganda ruins it. It's an insult to the creators, and none of us should tolerate it.

I'm glad streaming services adopted a better model, but then they reverted back as they increased prices because the money is too good and people put up with it.

Do you have a source? Because this appears to be false. I can't find anything indicating it was funded by USAID.

Everything I'm reading says it has been funded by USDA, and in fact funding has been significantly increased during 2025.

I would say no. I don't think one can adopt this stance without thinking less of people who pursue those activities. And I'd rather show kids humility, as opposed to superiority.

The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact was the perfect size phone and I hate the world for not having successors of the same size.

Doesn't Mullvad accept cash without identifying information?

Does Google not have brand recognition and Consumer good will? We might read all sorts of deep opinions of Google on HN, but I think Search and Chrome market share speak themselves. For the average consumer, I'm skeptical that OpenAI carries much weight.

I guess I just have to accept that for the foreseeable future, any article in any way related to Elon Musk will result in a lot of angry low quality comments that get lots of upvotes.

Instead of critiquing the article for liberal use of words like "overwhelmingly", "unique", and " 100% of Teslas" on an n=5 cars, with limited data and a very questionable analysis of the Snohomish accident, we discuss how Musk is a fraud.

Why are you worried about being deported if you have a visa?

Doesn't it have to listen to everything locally for a command though? I wonder if only commands are keywords.

He does not have the power to dismiss Judges and Congressional representatives.

Judges can only be removed by Congress.

Congressional representatives can only be removed by their peers.

What's the relevance of this article to the comment?

> 3) Give money to all farmers to put solar.

...on their roofs? Over all their crops? What's the play here?

The impetus for this is largely from Congress in both parties. Public support often doesn't align with congressional action and it doesn't stop them.

Vote for your congress members.

Throw a new cooler on it and then yeah sure.

It's true but I don't run into this issue often since most games and Windows will offer UI/Menu scaling without changing individual windows or the game itself.

It would cost 5x or more that amount to get one of those companies to where Intel is.

No, they wouldn't. That wouldn't even build them one fab, let alone summon all of the talent and supply chain out of thin air.

Pizza parties?

I think you have a lot more reading to do. This industry is hard to grasp and it's the most capital intensive industry that exists.

They're not throwing pizza parties.

Are you talking about when he chose not to violate US sanctions when the Ukrainian government asked him to turn Starlink on for Crimea?

In what line of work/business can you proceed to incur more expenses without approval from the paying client? This can't really be what they expected.

Who pays tens of thousands to use Twitter?
