NoblePublius··on After a Legal Fight, Oberlin Says It Will Pay $36.59M to a Local Bakery
The college still hasn’t admitted it has done anything wrong, and to my knowledge has not fired anyone for fabricating a hate crime, or doubling and tripling down on the fabrication.
NoblePublius··on Electric Vehicles as a Subscription
I can think of more than a few high income recent immigrants who can’t qualify for a Honda Civic lease.

Because they’re exporting it all to Miami? This story makes no sense.
NoblePublius··on A shortage of Dijon mustard in France
There are eight varieties of Dijon mustard available to me for 2-hour delivery by Amazon Fresh right now in Miami. Five of them are made in France. Fake news?

“44 years later he died of emphysema”…sounds like he had a long and fruitful life.
NoblePublius··on Most Americans support using the popular vote to decide U.S. presidents, data
The only thing the House does all together is vote. Discussions are done in committee. Most floor speeches are done in an empty room.
NoblePublius··on Most Americans support using the popular vote to decide U.S. presidents, data
I guess you’ve never been to a super bowl.
NoblePublius··on Most Americans support using the popular vote to decide U.S. presidents, data
It’s funny to me that proponents of this idea are generally Left leaning, because they believe in some kind of “demographic inevitability” of their success, while never once considering that the Right could adapt its messaging towards the center and win popular elections. Biden’s margin of victory over Trump was basically the same as Obama’s margin of victory over Romney adjusted for population growth.
NoblePublius··on Tell HN: Amazon shopping is racing to the bottom of quality
Anker has its own store within Amazon, and you can see it as the verified seller on their product pages. But the general point of this post is correct: Amazon is a terrible shopping experience and it’s mostly because they’ve monetized the search
NoblePublius··on French mayor demands €15,000 fee to climb Mont Blanc
The headline is false. It’s a refundable deposit to cover potential rescue costs.
NoblePublius··on Tell HN: Amazon shopping is racing to the bottom of quality
The solution is called a “brand”. Buy Anker, not random made up Chinese name, electronic accessories. Buy Gildan, not random nameless made-in-Pakistan disposable clothing.
NoblePublius··on Hyundai rolls out 27 heavy-duty hydrogen trucks in Germany
The hydrogen is produced by cracking H2 out of oil. The H2 is then liquified using electricity made mostly by burning carbon. The liquified H2 is then transported on diesel trucks. Don’t fall for this carbon energy fake out.
NoblePublius··on TikTok videos leave teens thinking they have rare mental disorders (2021)
It’s this kind of content that reminds me that if social media censors were actually interested in keeping safe people with mental problems, they wouldn’t police content so much as they would prevent such people from using their poisonous systems.

NoblePublius··on The Fight to Hold Pornhub Accountable
How does making you ask your ISP to turn on porn infringe anyone’s rights?
NoblePublius··on The Fight to Hold Pornhub Accountable
I think focusing on the revenge porn angle is a fake out to distract from the disgusting availability of all of this. porn should be forced into a .xxx TLD, and this domain should be opt-in only at the ISP level. Let dad explain to mom why he wants it.
NoblePublius··on Coinbase employees petition to remove execs
Pre-ipo Coinbase investor here. Dumped all my stock at $340/share. Good riddance.

NoblePublius··on Intuit asked Mailchimp employees to pay medical costs out of pocket
Sorry, that’s $1150 per month.
NoblePublius··on Intuit asked Mailchimp employees to pay medical costs out of pocket
There is no “tax break.” It’s unlawful for me not to buy health Insurance for my employees (more than 50) and you aren’t allowed to shop the open market if you work for me. Average cost per employee is $1150 this year (up about 11% over last year). Thanks Obama.
