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.

Wang, Zhao, Xi.

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.

Office bullshit was a ZIRP.

Since 2014.

How many decades of central planning organ-management failure would you like before concluding the experiment has failed?

CALTRANS is the largest contributor to this animal crossing.

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 have bad news for you about the average tax preparer.

> Had somebody been able to foresee the popularity and success of ‘Star Wars,’ it would have been crazy not to save the grove where Endor was made and use it as a tourist venue,”

This was the third movie. Star Wars was already extremely popular by the time this as filmed.

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 died.

This does not excuse Boeing, but it's just the way it is. Training standards are higher in the US than, for example, Ethiopian airlines.

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 misinformed) demographic you're describing is not the problem.

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.

Aircraft safety is layers on layers on layers. Let's not FUD people into thinking that flying on the worst plane Boeing has ever put out is anywhere comparable to the daily risks of driving.

> you don't want your kids to be the last to get phones

Why? Other than maybe bitching and moaning about it, what's the actual harm?

There's nothing even remotely libertarian about US medical care. Find another strawman to attack.

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

> We will also work directly with educational institutions to compensate them for their Jamboard devices.

Fwiw, I remember reading about this a while ago.

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 the % of WalMart's sales, not market share.

The answer is more like 25%: https://www.axios.com/2023/04/20/most-popular-grocery-stores

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, when this was in broad daylight?

Well I don't think those exoskeletons even really exist yet. So baby steps.
